I Don't Want To Lose My Best Friend [ON HOLD]

I can't wait to see your brilliant face

“Mommamommamommamomma!!!” Charlotte screamed in pain as her beautiful brown eyes leaked tears and her face turned red and splotchy.

I bent down to her level and looked at her in concern as I cupped her face and rubbed my thumbs under her eyes as I tried to wipe away the tears that were never ending.

“What’s wrong baby? What happened?” I asked.

“I was…I was playing with daddy…and I slipped and I cut my knees and it hurts…” She stuttered through her sobs.

I frowned and pulled her into a hug as she cried into the crook of my neck and I picked her up and walked down the hall to the bathroom. Tony was already one step ahead of me and grabbing the First-Aid kit.

“I’m sorry, I tried to catch her, it just happened so fast—“

“Tony it’s okay, toddlers get hurt all the time, it’s in their genetics or something. You’re fine babe. It’s just her knees right?” He nodded and I set her down on the sink gently and Tony flipped the kit open.

He handed me some cotton balls and the Hydrogen Peroxide and I dabbed it before gently beginning to clean her scraped knees.

“It’s okay little one, it’s all good, no need to worry.” I reassured our toddler.

“I’m sorry momma.” I shook my head as I cleaned up the blood.

She had scraped them pretty good, breaking the skin and causing some rough looking cuts but she was brave as I cleaned them up.

“Don’t be sorry love bug.” I smiled.

Tony rubbed her hair and kissed her face where her tears fell. She leaned into his touch and he rubbed her back with his other hand as I tossed the soiled cotton balls in the trash. I grabbed two of the Star Wars Band-Aids since they were what Tony had stocked up on. I shook my head playfully and he laughed at me and shrugged.

“There we go, now you just need the kisses.” I kissed both her knees and then Tony did and she giggled softly.

“How about some ice cream my little trooper?” Tony asked.

“Okay! I’ll go grab my coat!”

Tony set her down from the sink and then she went running, or more like hobbling because of her knees. Tony and I smirked before we looked at each other.

“Hey uh…I was wondering…tomorrow is Friday night and I was kind of hoping…that we could maybe…you know…go on our first official date?”

Tony was so nervous it was adorable. We had been dating for only a few days and hadn’t had time to go on our first date yet. I gently cradled his cheek and rubbed the soft skin.

“I’d love to Tony, maybe your mom could watch Charlotte?” He nodded.

“I kind of already asked…she said she’d be happy to keep her overnight too so we can stay out later.” I blushed and Tony chuckled nervously.

I leaned up on my tippy toes and kissed his lips warmly. He smiled against our lips and squeezed my hips before we pulled apart and left the bathroom.

“Hey Tony?” I asked.

“Hmm babe?”

I smiled and grabbed his hands shyly and he smiled down at me curiously.

“I want a new tattoo.” I whispered.

“Really?” His smile lit up as did his eyes. I nodded.

“What were you thinking?” He added.
