The Chosen One

Chapter 3 : His Little Bundle of Joy

Dawn's POV

After we played for a LONG LONG LONGGGGGGGGG time in the playroom, Tommy and I got bored, so we decided to leave a note for me mate and Ms Lee, saying that we were at the backyard. So now we were playing hide 'n' seek, with Tommy being the seeker and me obviously being the hider.

I skillfully hid myself behind the bushes in the garden since the scent of the fruits will cover me scent. Hah, I'm a genius! However, suddenly a pair of rather large arms snuck around my waist and lifted me into the air, causing me to squeal out loud. A deep chuckle soon followed. That couldn't be Tommy...... So it has to be.......

MATE!!!!!!!

" Relax sweeheart, it's just me. And whatcha doing behind the bushes?" Mr Mate asked as he turned me around so I could once again wrap my arms around his neck.

"Shhhhhhsh, we're playing hide 'n' seek and Tommy is the catcher!!! We can't let him hear us!!!!! " I exclaimed softly.

"Hmmm......I think he already heard us....... He's gonna reach here in about...... 10 seconds ," Mr Mate predicted as he stared at my face, probably waiting for my reaction.

And sure enough, he got one.

"What!!!!!!????? We have to escape now!!!!!! Immediately!!!!!!! We can't let Tommy find us!!!!!!" I whisper shouted as I wiggled about in Mr Mate's arms, trying to escape.

"Okay okay! Relax cutie pie. I know the perfect place for us to hide!" Mr Mate assured as he laughed at my enthusiasm.

"Really!!!??? Let's go!!!!! Let's go!!!!!!" I exclaimed, practically bouncing on his arms.

"Hold on tight!" Mr Mate warned.

With that, he zoomed his way to wherever he was gonna take me to. In less than 5 seconds, we arrived at........ An awesome car!!!!!! COOL!!!!!! I've never been on a car before!!!! He unlocked the car and sat in the driver seat, with me still in his arms.

" Wow!!!! Your car is so so so so cool!!!!" I burst out, practically jumping on his leg.

" Thanks sweetheart." He replied with a sparkle in his blue eyes.

" Why do you have so many names for me????? Me name is Dawn, " I questioned with a puzzled look.

" Hmm....I don't know. Probably because they all fit you perfectly, you're sweet and cute and everything positive in the world."

Hearing that, a blush crept up me cheeks and I quickly hid them in his neck. Seeing that, Mr Mate once again burst out laughing. Ow man, why does this keep happening to me.

Deciding to change the topic, I looked up at him and said, " So your name is Michael right????? And Cryssy said that you're my mate, is that true?"

Shocked was written all over Mr Mate's face as he froze. Oh no..... Did I do something wrong ?????? Tears started to well up in my eyes as guilt overwhelmed me. Why did I have to screw everything up ???

"Hey hey hey, sweetheart why are you crying all of a sudden?" Mr Mate asked with his voice holding sadness in it.

"Be...because I... I said something wro...wrong.... And...and .... Made you sad a...again....." I rambled out with my head hung low.

Hearing that, Mr Mate let out a menacing growl, startling me.

"Princess, look at me."

I shook my head in denial. However he wasn't taking 'no' for an answer.

Forcing my head up gently, he said," Listen princess, I'm only gonna say this once. Do not ever think that you did stuff to upset me. Although it ought to happen a couple of times. But even in those cases, do not beat yourself up for it. Because, believe or not, you bring the most joy to my life. Even though we just met today, trust me when I say that I've never been happier in the 20 years of my life. You always will be my little bundle of joy and I will always love you. So always wear that cute smile of yours on that face ok?"
