Esther let her baby doll on her cocoon as run to kitchen for water, she got thirsty of hours running around the big mansion playing with all who are in her orders.

"How many time I told you not to run like this,my honey!" A middle aged woman bend before her stroking her honey hair.

"Many time nanny but I am a child and it's my duty to run."the little one smiled at her.

"Hi, everyone."  a cherished woman with brown hair tide up back in pony style enter to the kitchen.

"Hi!" Esther salute as approached

"How is my favourite apprentice ?" - said her in dulce voice as was on her knees before Esther's to give her a tight hug.

"I am fine, a little tired for all the running. How are you ?!"the little girl say as hug her back

"Fine too." Respond the woman holding her still on her arms.

"Misses Mirena we don't have lessons today or I forgot again ?!"

"No doll, I am here cause uncle Sam said to wait him here before we go to airport !"

"You gone leave me too?!" little Esther said and tears were forming on her green eyes."

"No honey! We are just going to pick up Freya from grannys in Texas, i will come next week again!"- said her teacher in smoothing voice relaxing her little heart..

"I love you so much misses Mirena!" - Esther said it with another tide hug.

"I love you too my doll!" she respond it.

"Oh no! I got to run i let my doll alone !"Esther run without hearing her nanny advice.

Esther come in one breath only to see her baby doll with broken arm. Beside was standing a little boy with dark curls, spiderman t-shirt and short white pants.

"You broke it!" she yelled with tears on her emerald eyes now.

"No, I found it like that, I am a boy I don't play with dolls!" He retorted.

"Liar! You broke it!"yelled to him as was trying to fix the unfixed arm.

"Come on it's just a doll not a real baby!"

"Why you did it?!" She demanded in sobbing voice.

"I didn't do it!" He state firmly.

"Liar! Liar! I hate You! Go away! Go!" screamed as much as her little body could handle.

"Esther, honey! What's wrong why you are screaming like that?!" Her nanny said coming in hurry up toward her, grabbing it in her arms.

"He broke it!"she snaps in her arms crying.

"I didn't do it!" boy screamed.

"Tomas!" Mirena yelled towards him.

"Mum!"boy startled seeing how angry his mum was.

"What did you do?! I told you not to touch her baby doll when we first came here." She shouted at him.

"I didn't do nothing to her stupid doll." Boy tried to convince his mum.

"Tomas Taylor you know I don't like lies."

"I swear mum." he said and her mothers hand touched hard his face making him move his head toward her face. Esther was shocked at this moment.

"Do not swear on lies Tomas! It's a sin. Now ask sorry to Esther." His mom ordered.

"No!"he yelled and run away.

"Tomas come here!"scream Mirena but her son wasn't listening.

"Put me down."-Esther said to her nanny.

"Let him ma'am its just a kid."nanny said.

"He will listen to me tonight. Esther honey I ask you sorry in his behave. I will bye another doll , okay." Mirena tried to calm down the broken heart Esther.

"No ,my doll was priceless. He broke it. I hate him!" Esther didn't want another doll as for the first time she said the word Hate.

"No! No! No!My honey, hate is an awfully word and you are too beautiful to feel that. "Mirena holding her in a tight hug  spoke gently as little girl cried her soul out.

"As much as his thing hurt me you still shouldn't hit him on face like that. You could ground him. Kids never should be hit like that." Esther spoke after left her arms and clean tears from her still emerald eyes. Than run from them.

"This girl is something else contrary to her parents." said Mirena with admiring feeling for that small creatura.

"The baby doll was a challenge. If she keep it safe for a year her mum will give her a real one. She has been craving for a sibling since was four.

"Rich or not rich we mums think alike. I did the same with Tomas but i give him a small car. He took care till I made him with a true one, wasn't in his pleasant. He wanted a baby boy, but after couple years he accept big bro status.

Last but not least : « Can I kiss You? »

The mansion has a way out on the back that send to the beach ⛱️. Tomas was there hitting sand with his white snickers, when Esther come doing the same thing.

"Why you came here?" he asked watching waves clash on each other as they where 10 feet away. She didn't answer.

"Are you deaf now?! " he asked again, but still silence.

"Go home is not place for you here." - he said as water was approaching them.

"The same for you, we are both alone here and water is dangerous place for kids like us.

"You are a kid, I am not."he retorted proudly.

"How old are you?!"she asked.

"7 years old."he answered.

"Me too, so both of us are kids still."

"Why you came here?"he re-asked.

"To say sorry for what your mum did to you. If you want you can slap me too. " - she said and stood before him, putting her curly honey hairs behind her back and her face on front closed her eyes and was waiting.

"My mum says that girls you can kiss but never hit on them." he said ,she open eyes now normal green and he was with his hand behind.

"You want to kiss me?"she asked shocked and he nodded.

"But you got hurt from you mum?!"

"Well I deserved, I broke it your doll not intentionally, it slipped my hand as i was putting again in cocoon."

"You could say it. Why denied it?"

"I don't know, I am a kid still."- he said smiling as she smiled back.

"If wasn't important I will not behave like that. I am sorry for the slap. If you are not slapping for sure my mum will do it."

"She hits you ?!"he felt something wierd in his chest.

"Only when i mess with her make up or dresses."

"Don't do it then!"he scolded.

"I need to do it, again now"

"You are crazy girl'"

"Friends?!"she requested.

"With me that broke you doll?!"

"Well today I loosed the chance to have a baby sister or brother but I can sill have a friend for real not like those I have.- she said and rised her right hand toward him.

"Well, okay than, friend for real. " he said as shakes hands.

"Esther!Tomas!" Were the voices of his mother and her nanny.

"We need to go home!"they exclaimed in same time and run back home.

His mum and her nanny were calling them, when they finally saw them run on safe arms. The car of her father was parked before door.

"Did mum come with dad?"

"Yes honey your mum is inside." her nanny said and little one run home.

"Mum I'm sorry for swearing on lie."" Tomas bow his head before his mother.

"Sorry me too for hitting you. I will never do that again my sweet boy. My joy of life." she said hugging tight in her chest and few tears left their eyes. Little did she know that this would be really the last night she slap and asked sorry to her boy.

"Even my honey run to her mum as soon as find out she is home." nanny said, Tomas get free from his mums arm and went running into that mansion.

"How many times I said don't touch my clothes with your hands uncleaned." was the angry voice of woman coming upstair. Tomas run fast but late. He saw her mum slapping hard her face, making red.

"Now go away from my side young lady!" Yelled her mum and closed the door leaving her outside. Her pearls tear fall from her cloudy eyes as she went away from her parents room door.

"Why you did that crazy girl?!"

"I am used to it, in fact this is only time when i can have some momento with her. You got lucky with you mum."

"All mums loves their kids, you mum loves you too." he comfort her knowing that could be a liar because his mum hit to teach him something today but never when he ruined her red dress with his chocolate hands.

"Tomas we are going." was his mother voice coming down the stairs.

"I will be accompanying you to the gate." she said as walked beside him.

At the gate before his parents car he put his hand on her red cheek.

"It looks to red ,must hurt more than mine?" He wandered.
