I cut the crusts off of the sandwhich and handed the plate to the small blonde child. "Thank you." She said pplietly walking over to the table. "Do you want me to sit with you?" "Yes please, arnt you hungry?" "Not really." I sat across from her at the large wooden table. "Well how was your day my lovely?" "As great as yesterday." " Thats great, well what do you propose we do after you little late night snack?"
"Take a bath and get ready for bed. Im kind of tired." "Thats sounds fine. Would you like hot chocolate after your bath?" "Was just about to ask" she smiled taking a sip of juice.
She handed me the plate as I loaded them into the dishwasher. Soon she ran up the stairs and I put on a pot of milk adding in chocolate chips until it looked good. I herd my erie ringtone and answered my phone. "Hello?" "Hey babe where are you?" "Doing something why?" "I've been home since last night and I havn't seen you." "Ill be home tommorow night babe."
"What?" " what?" "Where are you gonna be for two days that you can come home." "Ricky im busy right now." "Bye" I put my phone down harder than I should have and poured the steaming drink into a mug.
Upstairs I set it by her bedside and put away all of her toys. When she came out she jumped on the soft mattress and tucked herself in. "Can you put in my daddy's cd?" She asked. "Sure sweetie, no book?" "Im too tired." "Okay sleep well." I pulled the blanket up patted her head.
I went downstairs and started the dishwasher, cleaning up before I tucked myself in. But an annoying beep came at 7am. I got out from under the soft blankets and started turning on lights to wake her up. Scattered across the bed, I gently shook her awake. "What do you want for breakfast sweetie?" "Strawberry pancakes." She smiled.
I waved goodbye to little Mary and drove through back to the house. Where I followed the same cleaning routine but left after. Instead of going straight home I stopped and got a coffee from Starbucks and by to get my paycheck.
I opened the door setting my keys on the table. "Ricky?" I saw Ryan grabbing beers from the fridge and he stopped to look at me. "We're all down in the basement." "Doing?" " practicing, well be done in a little while though." "Do you guys need anything?" "No, but thanks." He walked down and I laid down in our bed.
I woke up to an extremely loud screech and flew up hitting something. "What the fuck?" I yelled looking at Ryan, Chris, and Josh giggling like idiots. "What the fuck Josh?" I asked annoyed "don't bitch slap me to the floor too." I looked down and the short legs were on the ground. "Oh my god did I hit him?" "Again you bitch slapped him to the ground." "Ricky?" He stood up a bruise starting to form of his cheek. "Don't ever fucking hit me again." He spat leaving the room.
Everyone was just dead silent. "What the fuck was that about?" "He used to get hit around in middle and high school." "He pulled this shit on me." "Come on lets go mess with Allie and let him cool down" "okay." I stood up and slid my vans on following them out towards the door.
" Hold up" we all stopped "Sage I need to speak with you." I groaned and they preceded on " want us to wait" "sure." He closed the door and Rick walked over. "We are not going to fight about you pulling a dumb ass prank on my and getting hurt." "No, but were gonna fight about you cheating." "What the hell are you talking about?"
"You were an hour away, gone for who knows how long an come home with a Starbucks cup. " he loudly stated. "How do you know how far away I am and I can come home whenever I want and drink whatever I want." "You justo so happen to be at Starbucks were he works." "Are you fucking delirious, I've already told you im not cheating on you. But oh you can run around the country and not call for days at a time." " you havn't even been home for most of the time." "How do you know that?" "I have a house phone and used to call like every hour." "Your fucking crazy."
I picked up my hoodie and purse and started out. "I swear to god if you leave right now we're done." I looked and saw them playing in the snow so I picked up Bones and left flipping him off.
