I wasn't mad at her. Just annoyed that she payed for the snacks when I could've done that myself. She knew I was reaching for my card but payed anyway.

I sigh and make my way upstairs. Her room door is closed so I knock on it and wait for a response.

Hands in pockets and waiting patiently I finally hear the door open and see her with new clothes on.

This time instead of the adidas's it's SpongeBob pants.

She looks up at me, not a smile in sight and on her face. Just a straight line coating her lips.

"What's wrong?" I question as I move to enter her room. She walks to her bed, taking a seat on it as she gets on her phone.

"Nothings wrong besides you ignoring me and what not." She shrugs looking up from her phone.

I rake my fingers through my hair before sitting beside her and pulling her into my side.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't mad just annoyed that you payed when you know I don't like when you pay for stuff when we're together. Which is literally all the time."

It's quiet for some time before I feel her shift and feel her legs wrapping around my waist.

"I'm sorry...I guess. I just don't want you to blow all you're money on unnecessary things that don't need to be blown on. You should save it." She speaks before leaning her head against my shoulder.

"I get what you're saying but I have more than enough to buy you stuff. Trust me." I kiss her forehead before standing up.

She squeals and wraps her arms around my neck as I walk us to the stairs. "Nuh uh put me down."

"I got you. Promise." And with that I walk us down the stairs and into the living room. She turns and looks at the couch and sees the fort I put up.

She frowns slightly as I set her down before crossing her arms. "You started without me bro."

"You said too." I speak behind her as I put the snacks on the table.

"Okay but I didn't mean it." I sighs and goes to the tv, cutting it on before grabbing the remote.

"I didn't know that. But what's done is done." She nods along with me before we both move into the fort.

I grab the extra blankets and put them over us we she looks through Disney plus. "Have you seen Halloween town? She ask me.

I shake my head earning a tsk in return. "Well you're gonna watch it today." She smiles and presses on it.

We begin with getting comfortable while the intro plays. Her laying on her back while I'm laying my head on her stomach.

This is very comforting.

The movie is now over and Enzo had fallen asleep a while ago. I'm still laying on my back while he's still sleeping on my stomach.

My hand moves to play with his hair as I scroll through my instagram and eat some candy. Mostly of his if honest.

He shifts slightly, moving onto his side as I finally let out a breath of air. Putting the candy down I get up and out of the hot fort.

I move to the downstairs bathroom and go do my business before checking the time on my Apple Watch.
