Chapter 5：RLT (5)

~the next day~

Yui had the best morning in her entire life. She was able to have whatever she wanted for breakfast. She was able to open the presents. And she was also able to meet her father for the first time. Riku was amazed of how gorgeous Yui was. He couldn't help but mentally admire how beautiful the woman he slept with six years ago was.

"My lady, you have a guest in the garden." Sasha told Sasuko.

"Oh, okay Sasha. Thank you." Sasuko said as she walks away.

Sasha bows slightly as Sasuko passes her. Once she walked away, Sasha stands up straight and continues to watch over Yui.

Looking at Yui with pure love, Riku speaks softly, "Hey, Yui. I have a present for you."

"Really?!!" Yui exclaimed happily as her eyes sparkled.

"Yes! It's in the living room."

"I wanna see it!!" Yui said as she ran out the kitchen towards the living room.

Quietly, Riku followed her as Sasha followed right behind them.

~in the garden~

In the center of the garden where there is a beautiful fountain that is surrounded by multi-color roses stood Andrew. He was admiring the area so much he didn't notice Sasuko standing next to him.

"Beautiful, huh? It's my favorite part of this garden." She said which slightly startled Andrew.

Looking at her with a warm smile, he answered honestly, "Yes, it is beautiful. But not as beautiful as you are."

Sasuko looks at him with slight disbelief as she starts blushing really hard. Andrew smiles lovingly as he slowly looks away.

"Wh-what brings you here, Prince?"

"I just wanted to visit you. How is Yui?"

"She is fine. She just ate breakfast and opened her presents. Yui is also with her father. It's the first time she met him."

"Father?"

"Yeah. He is from the Namakazi family. My parents wants us to become a couple."

Andrew started to feel unease, so he tried to speak as calmly as possible. "Oh?"

"Yeah. But, I disagreed. He did too. So, he is just going to help me with Yui and be a close friend of mine."

Mentally letting out a relieved sigh, Andrew nodes small. "I see."

"Mommy!!!!!" Yui shouted while running to Sasuko with a puppy on her arms. "Look at what daddy got me!!!!"

Riku, who was following Yui, was very surprised to hear her referring him as 'daddy.' Leaving Sasuko speechless for a while, she just gives Yui a lovingly smile and a small node.

"A puppy!!!" Yui said happily as she carefully held the puppy up in the air.

"How cute." Sasuko was finally able to say.

Andrew smiles small, and speaks softly. "Its a cute puppy just like you."

Yui blushes lightly with a wide smile. Riku looks at Andrew and gives him a small fatherly smile before looking away.

"How about you and daddy go somewhere? Hm? I wouldn't mind a bit." Sasuko said with a smile.

Yui looks at Riku with a wondering stare.

Riku smiles, "Yeah. Lets go somewhere. I'll spoil you today."

"Yay!!" Yui shouted.

As Yui and Riku walked away, the smile that was painted on Sasuko's face faded away. She lets out a small concerned sigh before looking at Andrew.

"You trust him?" He asked her.

Sasuko nodes small, "Yes I do."

Andrew, not knowing what to say, just nodes. He looks away, letting silence eat up the atmosphere.

~in the meantime~

"Alright, Yui. Feel free to get anything you want." Riku said as they both arrived at the mall.

Yui's eyes sparkle with excitement. She then runs to the toy store, with Riku following close behind. Entering the store, she let's out a cute squeal while looking at all the toys.

"Daddy!! I know what i want here!! It is a huge teddy bear!!" Yui said.

"Okay, let's look for it." Riku said, taking her hand and walking around the store.

Finally, they were able to find a brown teddy bear that had a bow on its right ear that was taller than Yui.

'Oh boi, this kid is something alright when it comes to spoiling her.' Riku thought as he grabbed one teddy bear.

Behind him, Yui was jumping out of excitement which made other customers hearts melt from the cuteness. Riku looks at her and smiles as his heart skips a beat. Walking to the check-out, Yui stands next to him inpatient.

Walking out the store after paying for the teddy bear, Yui then goes to the food court.

"What do you want from here?" Riku asked as he handed Yui the teddy bear for she was signalling him to give it to her.

Carrying the bear that was way bigger than her, she gave him a bright innocent smile. "Ice cream!!"

Riku chuckled small and went to the ice cream stand with a teddy bear following him. Anyone would mistaken that for a walking teddy bear due to Yui not being visible.

"Hello, what would you like?" A female worker asked him.

Yui places down the teddy bear and stands next to it. Riku looks at her and smiles small.

Looking at the worker, she said cutely, "I would like to have chocolate ice cream with rainbow sprinkles please."

As the worker looked at her, she couldn't help but smile. "Okay young one. Would that be it?" She asked looking at Riku.

Riku then replies with a node. With a sweet smile, she serves the ice cream and gives it to Yui. Yui takes it and thanks her respectively as Riku payed for it.

Carrying Yui with one arm and holding the bear with his other arm, Riku asked, "Now what?"

"Hm...." Yui thought for a while while licking some of the ice cream. "Oh! Let's buy things for Septiceye!!"

"Septiceye?" Riku asked, confused.

"Yeah! Septiceye!! That is what I named my puppy!!" She said happily.

"Oh, okay! Then, let's go get things for Septiceye."

"Yay!!!"
