LOVE BEFORE

Tasha walked inside Lili's room slowly and held a cake in her hands.

"Happy birthday Lillian, happy birthday....."Tasha sang but was cut by Lili.

"Mom" She yelled angrily and walked down the bed.

"I said walking in calmly while singing happy birthday Lili and not Lilian ok?" She asked and Tasha sighed before going back outside.

She had already fixed the camera in the room, Lili returned to the bed and pretended to be asleep.

Tasha walked in calmly again and sang one more time.

"Happy birthday Lili, happy birthday to you....."She sang then Lili woke up dizzily before jumping into her mom's arms for a hug.

"Thanks, Mom, you are the best, I never expected a surprise for my birthday" Lili beamed happily while staring at the camera.

"Such a pretender" Tasha muttered beneath her breath.

"I heard that" Lili whispered to her and she just rolled her eyes.

"Now that we are done with your birthday celebration can we leave now?" Tasha asked before walking towards the closet and selecting her clothes, Lili will always select hers alone as she considers herself an adult.

"Mom I have a birthday wish," Lili said then climbed on the bed before folding her legs.

What's your wish baby?" Tasha asked.

"This," Lili said pulling a paper from under her pillow and then handing it to Tasha.

Tasha unfolded the paper and it read.

#1: Super loaded with cash.

#2: Very cute like me

#3: own a private jet that can take me to Disney.

#4: is not stingy.

#5: is famous.

Tasha was then reading the list but she was confused.

"Do you want a movie that has this quality?" She asked and Lili frowned.

"Of course not, I want a dad who has all those qualities", Lili said and Tasha gasped in shock, she was just a restaurant waitress and her daughter wants a billionaire dad.

"Your joking right?" Tasha asked.

"Who said am joking? With all this beauty and figure, we could get any man we want so why not target a billionaire?" Lili asked and Tasha just sighed in frustration, she don't know why Lili doesn't just act like normal kids of her age.

"Go take a shower, I will be late for work" Tasha pointed at the little toilet and Lili just went down the bed.

"Whatever Mom, but I will be the one choosing your boyfriends for now since you don't have good taste" Lili sneered angrily.

"What do you mean I have good taste? All my boyfriends are always great" Tasha retorted, of course, she dated multiple guys when she sees a guy she loves, she just throws him a wink and he is all hers, she was perfect in seducing, she had even taught her daughter some skills.

"Mom? Really? Great boyfriends? In case you forgot, I will be happy to remind you... The first one you dated was loaded but not handsome and was rude, the second was kind and caring but did not have a penny, the third one was handsome and loaded but he was too stingy, the....."Lili listed and before she could continue Tasha yelled.

"Get into the shower now".

Lili rolled her eyes and then stump into the bathroom.

Tasha and Lili walked out of their apartment and stood by the roadside waiting for a cab.

Tasha wore long leggings and a tight-fitting red blouse with glasses and held her hair into a nasty bun.

Lili wore a half skirt and a white blouse holding her rabbit bag.

Just then a luxurious car stopped in front of them and pulled his car wind scream down.

"Hello there, can I drop you off?" The guy in the car asked and Tasha was about to deny kindly when Lili walked closer to the car.

"I will handle this," She said to her mom then turn to the guy.

"Cute....check, loaded.....check, private jet?" Lili kept staring at the guy before she asked.

"Do you own a private jet?

"No, but I have a bike" The man replied with a smile.

"Am I going to use a bike to travel to Disney? We don't need your ride, you can leave" Lili pouted angrily, the man frowned at how disrespectful the child was and he drove away.

"Lilian, what was that?" Tasha questioned her angrily.

"My birthday wish is in process" Lili answered with a smile.

Tasha arrived at the restaurant with Lili, she left Lili at a table to sit and do her assignments since it was a weekend, All the workers are fund of Lili, and some customers come back just to be able to discuss with her as she gives great relationship advice.

"Lili have this" Suzy placed a slice of cake in front of Lili.

"Thanks, aunt" Lili smiled then continued with her assignment.

Suzy was her mom's closest and best friend, she always goes to nightclubs along with Tasha.

Lili knew very well that her mom was a seductress, she knows her mom's activities and her heartbreaks as she is the only one her mom has, and she is the only one her mom can explain her problems to.

Lili approached a table where a businessman sat there, he looked so handsome, so Lili sat beside him.

The man raises his brow, asking her what she wants.

"Do you see that waitress over there? The only one with a nasty bun? " Lili asked while pointing at Tasha, the man looked in her direction and saw Tasha serving some customers.

"What about her?" The man asked.

"Isn't she pretty and has an hourglass figure?" She asked and the man almost choked, he couldn't help but stare at Tasha again, of course, she was beautiful and she had more than an hourglass shape, she had the full package.

"She is beautiful," The man said and Lili smiled, now it's time for business.

"So do you have a private jet?" She asked hopefully and the man pointed two with his fingers.

"I have two private jets," he said.

"Jackpot" Lili beamed happily when she saw a blonde lady approach them.

"Hi babe" The lady greeted the man, then stared at her, she went down from the chair and the lady sat.

"This my wife," The man said to Lili.

"Oops" Lili ran straight to the kitchen, she can't believe she almost hooked up her mom with a married man, but the man had two private jets, she was going to keep an eye on the man and wait until he gets divorced.

She ran and hit on Suzy.

"Why are you running baby?" Suzy asked while scanning the restaurant.

"Nothing serious was just saving my pride" Lili sighed heavily before returning to her table.

Suzy just shrugged and returned to work.

--------

It was 5 pm and Tasha was done for the day, so she left the restaurant with Lilli, they walked to the grocery store and bought groceries for dinner before taking a cab home.

"Mom, have you thought about my birthday wish?" Lili asked while removing her shoes.

"Baby please spare me, you know am a seductress and I could get any man I want right, so let them come looking for me and not the other way round," Tasha said before putting on her apron and walking to the mini kitchen to make a quick noodle for their dinner.

"Mom, how are you going to seduce a billionaire if you don't go to VIP nightclubs Lili pouted angrily.

Tasha just sighed, not wanting to argue with Lili.

Lili went and freshened up and when she was done, the food was ready.

She sat at the small dining table and had dinner while watching a series.

Tasha sat on the couch while manipulating her phone, not paying much attention to Lili.

Lili was now watching the news when she saw journalists running and surrounding her favorite actor Jay Brown, he was a Hollywood actor who has made such a great name in the entertainment world, he started acting at the age of 9, and Lili also loved to act, she took part in all shows in school and is always chosen as the lead actress.

Jay Brown had arrived in the country for a new series of films.

"Mom I want him," Lili said while pointing at the TV.

Tasha turned and looked at the TV only to see her pointing at Jay Brown.

"If you want him then go get him," Tasha said angrily.

"Mom you have a million-dollar body, if he has just a glance of you, he will immediately marry you" Lili kept pleading with her mom.

"OK fine, if I ever get the opportunity to meet him then I will try my luck," Tasha said knowing full well that they can never meet as there was a social barrier between them.

" How will you meet him?" Lili thought.

"Oh I have an idea, so leave it to me" Lili beamed happily and Tasha just rolled her eyes

Lili woke up on Sunday morning and her mom was still asleep, she sneaked out of bed...picked up her iPad, and went to the sitting room with it.

"I must get my mom a billionaire," She thought happily before messing her hair.

She switched on the video and made a face video.

She was crying, she looked pitiful in the video.

" hi guys am Lilian Cruze, I know you all might be wondering why am crying and all, it's that I miss my dad, he has been keeping I and my mom's identity a secret for a long time now, he doesn't want the world to know about me, look at me.....am not disabled nor ugly, so why is he a shame to tell the world about me? He is a big celebrity and doesn't want the world to know about his little illegitimate daughter, me, my dad Jay Brown I miss you please come back home, Mom also misses you, please help plead for my dad to come back home, I will leave my address"

"Haha" Lili kept laughing hard, she can't believe she was this good, she shared the video and added her home address on almost all social media accounts before sleeping off on the couch.

-------

Tasha was still asleep when her cell phone kept ringing, she picked it up and saw it was Suzy.

"Why do you keep calling me on a Sunday morning disturbing my sleep?" Tasha asked dizzily.

📲" What, you're asleep? After this scandalous video of Lili is trending on all social platforms?" Suzy asked surprised.

"Lili always posts scandalous videos, so what's new about this one?" Tasha asked while still asleep, it's normal for her daughter to always post videos on social media.

📲" She called Jay Brown her dad, she said she was his daughter" Suzy blurted out and Tasha's eyes widened in shock, she jumped down the bed hurriedly and went to the sitting room only to see Lili sleeping on the couch.

"Suzy, what are you saying? Wait I will check it out" Tasha said nervously then ended the call, she immediately opened her social media account, and it did not even take her long to see the video as everyone kept reposting it.

It has been just 2 hrs and it has a million views and a million comments, the comments read...

🧚‍♀️SHE LOOKS LIKE JAY BROWN REALLY

🧚‍♀️I CAN'T BELIEVE HE HAS A DAUGHTER

🧚‍♀️Why will he keep her identity a secret? All these celebrities always have a dark secret.

🧚‍♀️Dont cry Lilian, you are very cute and your dad will come for you

🧚‍♀️Look at the home address, it is in a poor locality, in which Jay Brown is a billionaire.

"Lilian........" Tasha yelled out and Lili jumped off the couch.

"What have you done?" Tasha kept pacing around the room.

"Oh oh," Lili said with a smile, with her mom's reaction, she knows her mom had seen the video.

" Mom am trying to bring Jay Brown to you," Lili said and Tasha was so angry.

"You shut up, have you become such a spoilt brat? What do you think you're doing walking around and ruining people's images?" Tasha yelled angrily and Lili was quiet, she never knew this little act of hers could make her mom this angry.

"Mom I am sorry" She apologized with tears threatening to flow down her cheeks.

"You're sorry? How is it going to fix what you just did?" Tasha kept yelling when she heard a commotion out of her house, she looked through the window and saw the paparazzi had accumulated and blocked their house Passage.

"Oh no" Tasha cursed out, she looked at Lili and could not figure out what to do with this little figure.

She heard a knock on her door and spied only to see Suzy outside.

She opened the door slightly and Suzy sneaked in, the paparazzi kept trying to find their way towards her but she immediately locked the door.

"This is bad Tasha," Suzy said while also looking through the window.

"All thanks to this smart daughter of mine, do you think everyone's occupation is to be your chess card?" Tasha yelled angrily and Lili was in tears.

"Mom I am sorry, am sorry, am sorry" she cried out then ran to the room and closed the door.

"Come back here," Tasha said furiously and kept banging on the door.

"Tasha easy " Suzy tried cooling her.

"What's her problem? Does she think life is a joke? She causes a problem and then hides inside the room?" Tasha yelled angrily but the paparazzi kept knocking at her door.

"Tasha give them a statement so that they can leave," Suzy said and Tasha walked to the door angrily, she opened it and went out only to see more than 20 cameras pointing at her.

🙋‍♀️Mam, are you Jay Brown's girlfriend?"

"No"

🙋‍♀️So your his ex?"

"No"

🙋‍♀️Then was it a one-night stand?"

Tasha was confused, about what has Lili caused her.

"I don't know him personally and have never met him, my daughter just did a little cruise, please I apologize to you all especially Jay Brown" Tasha explained and bowed to the camera.

🙋‍♀️ mam why are you lying to us? Your daughter just wants her dad's affection.

🙋‍♀️ why is Jay Brown keeping your and your daughter's identity a secret?

" I don't know him" Tasha yelled angrily and went back inside her house.

-------

At the other end of the city inside a large tower of about 15 floors.

A man with black hair and blood lips, a body filled with tattoos, he sat on the couch with his full attention on the tv, he wore a loosed inner pair and baggy trousers

A man in his forties stood beside him, he wore lenses and a classic outfit.

"What's this? I still don't understand?" The man said with a smirk, he was no other than Jay Brown.

"Jay I m don't understand", the man in his forty's name is Carl, and he is Jay's manager.

"When did I have a daughter that I don't know about?" Jay asked with a smile.

The situation was amusing for him, he knew the kid was just acting, he is an actor and knows when a kid Is acting or not.

"Her mom is hot", Carl said while drooling at Tasha from the TV.

"Very hot" Jay added, both men kept staring at Tasha lost in their thoughts, forgetting completely about the case at hand.

"I never knew single moms are this hot Woah" Jay smirked happily and Carl cleared his throat.

"What about the scandal that kid caused Should I organize a press conference?" Carl asked.

"No, I don't want a press conference, I want to make a video as well the baby is cute but the mom is so hot", Jay said before walking to the bar, he took out a can of beer and drank directly from it.

"Jay this could ruin your reputation, if not solved quickly", Carl said but Jay was a carefree guy, he already had all the money on this earth so he don't care about any reputation.

"Carl chill, I will handle the case my way relax man " Jay beamed happily before picking up his car keys.
