Chapter 4

All of a sudden Lucky held her stomach and said” I am sorry mommy but I am hungry, can we find somewhere that we can eat?”

Camila heard the loud rumbling that came from her girl’s stomach.

This was so typical of kids, she knew that’s Lucky won’t let her finish the journey in peace. Even though she could afford the foods in the restaurant now, she still felt that they should go home first so that she can prepare for her a good home made food.

“Honey…. can’t it wait until we reach our new house? I promise that I will cook for you the noodles that you like so much then I will add a chocolate cake for you” she tried to convince the girl but she wasn’t listening to her at all.

Any way they had arrived early so it would not hurt to go and buy her something light at the restaurant while they wait for her friend to come and pick them.

The two soon settled on the restaurant and Lucky quickly gave her order. She was waiting patiently when she spotted another boy eating with his father on the other corner of the restaurant. He seemed to be bored and quiet as his father read a newspaper.

Strong men wearing black suits were standing on their side.

“Leo, please hurry up and finish your food. We should be headed to the mansion now. “Samuel told his son without leaving the page he was reading.

They were just coming from Mombasa where they had gone to relax for the weekend. As much as Samuel was busy, he liked to spare some time for his kid. He wanted him to like him except that it was proving to be difficult because the kid was a little complicated.

“I want to go and visit my grand pa” Leo insisted.

“You just came from over there last weekend, Leo. Do you need to go so soon? “He asked surprised at the way Leo doted on his grandfather. The man spoils him so much and that was to be expected as his grandfather spent so much time waiting for his arrival.

The boy pouted his mouth in annoyance and Samuel gave up. He was a tough man but when it came to him, he had no choice but to soften.

“Alright I will take you to go and see him for just a few hours. Is that a deal? “

“Thank you daddy”

After uttering those words, Leo looked at his side and his eyes caught the sight of a pretty girl. She was also looking at him and he couldn’t tear his eyes away from her. She was smiling at him as if they had known each other all their lives.

“Leo, why are you looking at that girl like that?” Samuel asked his son. His son never mingled with other kids so he was definitely surprised. He took him to good schools where the children of the wealthiest were. But he always felt that the boy missed something which he couldn’t put his hands on.

“I don’t know, Daddy” he said subconsciously.” Can I go and say hello to her? “Leo asked while on his feet already and even before his father gave him permission he was standing beside Lucky.

“Hello, my name is Leo” he introduced himself once in front of the girl.

“Hello I am Lucky. Pleasure to meet you and this is my beautiful mommy” Lucky said and looked towards Camila who was really impressed by the young boy who just showed out from nowhere.

“Leo you are welcomed, are you here alone?” Camila couldn’t help but to ask. The airport was a crowded area and in case the child was lost she could get in to trouble for kidnapping. So she had to be sure about how she dealt with the boy.

“No I am with my dad, he is over there” Leo pointed to the spot where his father was sitting and when Camila looked at him their eyes met. She had never seen him in her life but he seems like a wealthy person. He was very attractive and even before she had thought about it twice she noticed how powerful he looked.

“That is nice” she swiftly replied then went back to drink her cup of tea as he watched the two children interaction. They just clicked together so fast and Camila wondered what was the deal between the two. Her sweet little girl was so choosy, she didn’t make friends that easily, but the boy just swept her off her feet.

“Do you mind sharing my food with me?” Lucky invited Leo.

“Of course why not, we are friends now and friends share things. I was just eating alone over there and it was kind of boring and I do feel that it will be fun eating with you” Leo said with happiness written on his little face.

Lucky giggled cutely and settled on her chair well and they both started to eat the plate of food. Tears of sadness started rolling Camilla’s face. Her very own son would have been just the same age and Lucky would have a companion to play with but destiny had to play a bad jock on her life.

Soon Samuel thought that his son had gone for a long time and so he decided to go and get him. He walked hurriedly and stood beside the table while looking at the two kids.

“Leo your time is up, please say good bye to your friend” he was kind of envious at the attention that Leo gave the girl, he was never that free with him however how much he tried to.

“Alright Daddy, Have you met my new friends?  Let me introduce them to you…….”

But Lucky cut him short” I am Lucky and this is my mother…..pleasure to meet you” without expecting her to embrace him, she was already at his side and Samuel had no choice but to crouch down to give her a hug.

“Pleasure to meet you too.” He said and then released her. He turned to her mother and nodded towards her as he took his son away.
