Starting Over

29.

Hunter hasn't returned from his phone call and my film has now finished I look around the room looking for something fun but there isn't anything. I pout and decide I want Hunter.

"HUNTER!.....HUNTERR"

I shout from my mountain of pillows and blankets on the couch, theres no reply

"HUNTER!"

I shout again, still nothing

"HUNNNT-"

He comes racing into the living room he quickly looks me up and down and looks around as if he's scanning the room for something wrong.

"Hey what's wrong"

He pants as if he's just ran a mile, I lift my arms up to him he looks shocked but is over lifting me up in a flash I cuddle in close as he wraps my legs around his waist.

"Can I have a drink please"

I whisper sweetly to him I can hear him smirk as he takes me into the kitchen. It's clear I've officially slipped. I feel wonderful I just want to stay snuggled up in hunters arms forever. Hunter reaches for a glass out the cupboard I lift my head and shake it

"No no"

Hunter looks at me and raises an eyebrow

"I want that one please"

I say pointing to the purple glittery sippy cup. I see Hunter smile but he doesn't say a word as he pours some apple juice into the cup. After securing the lid tightly he hands me it

"There you go baby, I love you"

He says with a kiss to my head as I take a drink. I tuck my cup under my arm and lean back down onto his shoulder

"Thank you daddy, I love you too"

I freeze. I've said it. I've called him daddy. I close my eyes tight and stay very still I feel him freeze before wrapping his arms tighter around and holding me close repeatedly kissing the back of my head

"You're welcome"

Hunter stands like his for a while holding me tight to his chest while we both take in how little I am and that our daddy and little journey is only beginning. We both don't know how I am going to act and what an adventure it's going to be. Hunters phone rings but he doesn't move, when it stops it rings again I sit up slightly loosening his arms around me.

"Daddy. Your phone"

I say cupping his face Hunter puts his hand on the back of my head and pulls me close, his lips capture mine in the most love filled kiss I've ever had I gasp for air when we break apart

"They can wait baby girl, what would you like to do?"

I shrug looking around there's not a lot for little me to do.

"Will you be a great girl and sit on the couch until I get all your things out"

I nod as he travels easily through the house before softly dropping me onto the couch, it's a good thing he works out multiple times a week because I instantly feel cold and lonely when he puts me down that I think I will spend most of my little time in his arms.

Within 15 minutes Hunter has pulled out a pink toy box full of different things, lots of jigsaws and colouring books and pens along with multiple play dough sets which I've been warned have only to be used at a table. We settle for a animal jigsaw which entertains us until it's time for bed. Hunter holds me tight in his arms as we drift off to sleep. I can't believe I have finally explored being in my little head space.
