Without You

Chapter 15

"Yes, ok, I'll just finish filling out this report, then I'll go home," I said to my boss. He gave me a stern look and a quick nod then walked off. I had worked overtime in an attempt of getting through all of the work that was piled on my desk that morning. During the course of the day I had only conpleted four out of the five reports that my manager had given me. The thing is they weren't difficult to complete and shouldn't have taken the amount of time that they had, but I was just too caught up thinking about Sam and our relationship.

I finished filling out the final report and grabbed my things together. I put all of my finished reports in the bosses office and made my way to my car.

I drove home just thinking about Amelie. I thought that she was happy with Sam being her father, but I wasn't 100% certain. I guess I could ask her when I got home.

I unlocked the door to mine and Amelie's house, and walked inside. There was silence. I walked into the kitchen and saw a mess. I walked into the living room and gasped in shock. There was a mess in there too, but the cute thing was that Sam and Amelie had fallen asleep on the floor in the middle of all the mess. I snapped a picture of them, then quickly set to work cleaning up all of their mess.

As I was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen I heard a groan, and walking footsteps. Sam walked into the kitchen rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "How was work?" He asked as he began drying up the dishes that I had washed.
'Yeah it was good thanks, and by the way what did you do to my house?" I asked. He looked at me then started laughing. "What's funny?" I asked glaring at gim. I quickly turned away and began laughing myself. After composing myself I put on a straight face and looked at him waiting for an answer.
"I wanted to spend some time with Amelie, and it required making a mess. I swear I was gonna clean it but we kind of fell asleep," he sai blushing.
"Awww... you're blushing," I said laughing, and pinched his cheek. He shook his head and walked out of the room looking down at the floor. I finished cleaning the kitchen then sighed. Now I'd have to clear the living room as well.

I walked into the living room and gasped. I had been gasping a lot today. The living room was clean and Sam was sat with Amelie in his arms. I grinned and stood in the doorway, while watching Sam tickle our daughter on the sofa. Our daughter. I really liked the sound of that.

I walked into the room and sat watching father and daughter bonding with one another. It was the cutest thing ever. I snapped pictures of them making silly faces and laughing. It felt like we were a family. "Mummy, mummy!" Amelie shouted snapping me out of my trance. They were both laughing at me. I pouted and Amelie kissed my pouted lips.
"What is it baby?" I asked smiling gently at her.
"Can you take more pictures of me and daddy?" She asked amiling sweetly at me. I nodded and snapped some more photos.
"Family photo!" Amelie shouted. I laughed and turned on the front camera taking selfies of all three of us.

I got into bed that night and smiled. Sam had gone home and Amelie was in bed. Sam was going to pick Amelie up after school again tomorrow. I had given him a spare key and told him to come to our house after school. I looked through all of the photos and set one of all three of us as my wallpaper. I wanted life to continue like this. Me and Amelie were happy and that was all that mattered. I didn't feel the need to cut. I think Sam is my remedy. However, I still have been managing to get away with not eating meals, and when I do, I just sick it up anyway. I can't be fat, Sam might leave me.
