Chapter 17

Daniel's pov

" do you like my daddy? " I hear a voice behind me.

I slowly turn around and see Allison standing there clutching a unicorn in her hand. " uhh " I scratch my neck blood rushing to my cheeks.

" well do you? " she insisted. I debated whether to tell her the truth or not I mean she is a kid she won't remember what I said.

" yeah, I do very much. " I say as light maroon crept up on my cheeks. " really " she says and I nodded " yea since the moment I first saw him in the store "

I picking her up and bringing her to the kitchen. I put her on the counter and look at the clock and see 6PM. I guess it's time to start on making dinner " do you wanna help? " I ask Allison.

" Yes " she said way too excited. I let her cook with me and even made video's together laughing, talking, and we got flour on each other.

After we cooked dinner we looked at each other mouth wide open and holding in a giggle. " oh god your a mess Alli " I say now realization setting in.

Oh god would Max be mad at me. Did I just possibly mess up my only change with the one person that made me feel this alive and happy since a long time ago.

I go deep in my mind when I felt a little hand on my cheek. I get out of thoughts and look at Allison who has a sad but innocent look on her face.

I set my own problems on the side and turn to Allison " hey, what's wrong princess? " I ask " are you okay? I called you many times but you didn't answer. " she says.

Oh god bless her heart I felt guilt creeping up on me. " oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to " I say pulling her into a hug.

I look at the clock on the wall and see it's 9:15PM. I guess dinner took longer than expected cause I was cooking with a toddler.

" wanna go wake up your daddy. " I ask her and she nodded her head taking my hand dragging me too the living room.

" Max, Max, Maxy wake up " I say softly and gently shake him. I see him slowly turning around in he's sleep and backed up a little.

I feel Allison pull on my hand. How are kids so strong for there age especially their grip. I get out of her grip and set the table for dinner and put food on the plates.

Just as I put the last plate on the table Max and Allison walk in both of them have small smiles on there faces.

After dinner I help clean up after with the dishes and I made my way to the door and said goodbye to both it was a little hard with Allison insisting of me staying the night.

The next few days were boring Max had to go to work Allison had kindergarten. I sit in the living room playing GTA online with my friends.

I can't show up to Max's work again I already did yesterday and the day before. It's night time and I'm in the middle of a mission when my phone rings.

I look between my phone and the tv and take a glance at the screen for the caller ID. The name Max with a blushing emoji popped up.

I ditched the game and answered the phone my heart skipping a beat. " hi Maxy what's up " I say. " hey listen, can I ask you a favor? " he asks.

" yeah " I say knowing I would drop everything in a second for him. " can you watch Allison for the night? I know it's a big favor but they called me in. "

" yeah bring her " I say without a second thought " really, are you sure? " he says. " yeah bring her or should I come to you " I say already turning the game off.

" could you come over because I don't know your address " he says softly laughing. " yeah sure, I'll be there in twenty minutes " I say taking my car keys.

True to my words I arrive at Max's place in twenty minutes and knock on the door waiting patiently. I see the door and Allison on Max's hip with a bag in his hand.

I take her in my arms and take her bag from his hand our hand touching each other for a second I could feel an electric shock my hand.

I wonder if he felt it too. Before I could stop what I said next the words left my mouth " do you want a ride to your work so you don't have to take the bus "

I don't think buses ride this late anyway. He accepted the ride and we dropped Max off first then went over to my house.
