I wake up to someone whispering my name and lightly shaking me.

I wake up and see Cameron smiling at me.
"Hi princess," he says.
"Hi," I reply smiling shyly.
"Spencer, why don't you call me dad?"
Oh no.
"I don't want to tell you because you'll get mad at me and want to take me back," I say frowning.
"I would never take you back, baby girl."
"Well, I'm not exactly comfortable yet. I just met you yesterday. But, all I've done is make you mad."
"No, I was just frustrated. But don't doubt for a second that I don't love you. I just met you too, but I really do love you princess," he says sweetly while smiling again.
Does he ever NOT smile?

But I smile back and nod.

"Let's go in," he says.
"Where are we?"
"JC Penney's. We're going to buy you stuff for your room."
I smile and get really excited. I've never decorated my own room.

We go in and walk to the bedding section.

I picked a white, teal, purple(light and dark),and green bed spread with matching pillows.
I got other stuff to match it to hang on the walls.

Then we went to Lowe's. I got a lavender color paint for my walls.

We went to other clothing stores and I got clothes. I got underwear too and that was awkward. I also got stuff for my bathroom.Not a lot, but more than I've ever owned. I told him I didn't want him to buy me a lot but he continued to insist. So, I let him buy me some stuff, but when it got to 10 bags, I told him no more.

I got sandals, some nike tennis shoes, and a pair of vans as well.

We went back home and before I got out of the car I said,"Daddy wait."
He looked shocked before smiling and saying, "What princess?"
"Thank you."
He gets the bags and hugs me.
"I love you," he says kissing the top of my head.
I hug him back and say," I think I love you too."

Maybe all I needed was to see that he cared and spend some time with him.
I grabbed a can of paint and the bag of wall decorations before walking in behind him and up the stairs still smiling.

We walk into my room and set the stuff down.
"I'll get the bed spread," I say before going downstairs still smiling and into the garage.

I walk back through with the spread and I struggle. Seeing as I was 4'5 and had no upper body strength,This was bigger than I thought.

I walk through the living room to the stairs but in the middle, right behind the couch, I trip and fall on top of the spread.

It actually hurt. But the guys are laughing. Dad's upstairs so he probably can't hear what's going on.

Then Matt comes and picks up the bedspread while Nash helps me up.

"Did you have fun?" JJ asks.
"Yup," I reply smiling widely."Dad and I finally bonded and it feels good."
They all smile and Matt grabs the bedspread from me and says,"I'll carry it." With a smile.

When we get upstairs, Matt puts it down after I see Dad's already painting.

My room's pretty big. It has a pretty cool window seat looking over a big window with a pretty view.

"Cameron, how fast will this dry?" Matt asks him.
"A few hours. I bought the quick dry kind."
Matt nods then hugs me before walking out.

"May I put my stuff away?"
"Of course! I'm finished so let me help!"

I smile as he starts hanging stuff up in the closet. While he isn't paying attention, I hurry and put my underwear in my top drawer. I put it on one side then I start putting in my socks.

I can't fold so dad puts the rest of my clothes in my drawers. I line my shoes up in my closet on the floor and put my new swimsuit in my "sock" drawer.

By this time, the paint's dry. So dad and I hang up the wall decorations to my liking. Then put on the sheets.(Btw they're lavender too.) Followed by the Comforter and pillows. I got a really soft teddy bear so I put that there too.

Finally, we put a lamp on my nightstand along with a remote to the TV that was already there.

"I love it," says dad.
"Well I love you," I say. He smiles and wraps me in a tight hug.

We hear Cameras snap and turn to see the boys taking pictures on their phones.

We all laugh once they notice we are looking at them.

"Let's go to dinner?" asks Matt. Of course, of all people he wants food😂.
We agree and pile into the car.
