SHAWN

Loud noises coming from the kitchen had woken me up. I sighed, rubbed my eyes and stretched.

I did my usual morning routine just without Ellie. We all had an agreement that of Ellie wakes up before me, whoever is awake has to help her brush her teeth and wash her face and all that.

I'll shower later. I have a lot to do.

I left the bathroom and went to the laundry room, checking on Ellie in the process. She's making breakfast with Cameron and Nash.

I took the clothes from the washer and put them in the dryer then added another load to the washer.

I closed the laundry room door and walked to the kitchen. Ellie was on the counter.

"Morning princess." I said then gave her a kiss on the forehead which turned into a ton of kisses all over her face and I tickled her a little.

We calmed down and I grabbed a caprisun from the fridge.

"Why didn't you guys wake me up?" I ask and they all shrug.

"You were out cold, we didn't wanna wake you. Plus I heard you up till 10 and I knew that you were out all day shopping." Cameron said and Nash and Ellie nodded.

"Oh" is all I say before throwing away the empty caprisun.

I grabbed Camerons MacBook and put in the password. I put on some music and we all danced around like idiots and laughed until our sides hurt.

This, this is a life worth living.

"I need a shower, you guys mind watching Ellie for a bit?" I ask. They shrug and nod.

"Please don't let her get hurt! I'll kill you." I say. They laugh and wave me off.

I went to my room and grabbed clothes, after that I went to the bathroom and got in the shower like every other human being. :)

I got out of the shower and decided to just get dressed in my room. That shower felt amazing!

I open up my door then close it. I dry myself off and put on my boxers.

I should blow dry my hair first before getting dressed because the water will drop on my clothes. That and I'm just lazy.

I brush out my hair and plug in my blow dryer.

I was only halfway through the process when my door opened. Praying to God that it wasn't Ellie, I turned off my blow dryer and looked at the door.

Oh it's just cam.

"Huh?" I ask, well that's not really a word but I think he gets what I'm saying.

"I was.. was.. gonna.." He swallowed.

"You were gonna what?" I laughed, teasing.

"N-Nevermind." He walked out of my room backwards and closed my door.

I turned my blow dryer back on and continued my hair. I finished with that and started putting on my clothing.

My door swung open then slammed shut, I looked over and seen Cameron rushing over to me with the most determined face I've ever seen.

He kissed me. H-he kissed me. He pulled away and smiled a huge smile, I had to smile back, I couldn't stop myself from smiling.

He turned and left.

???

Tf?

Ok.

I shook my head and continued getting dressed. I guess I just have to act like that didn't happen?

I walked out of my room, after finishing getting dressed of course, and picked up my clothes and carried them to the laundry room.

I took the clothes from the washer and put them in the dryer then put the last load of clothes in the washer.

I left the laundry room and went to the kitchen, there was a plate of food set up for me. I ate then started the dishes. I finished those and cleaned up the rest of the kitchen. I swept then mopped. After I was done in there I started cleaning the living room.

I finished in there, cleaned Ellie's room, and cleaned my own.

This all took about 3 hours.

I plopped down on my bed and closed my eyes. My body is aching like crazy. So this is why my mom always complained about us being lazy.

Id hate for her to feel like this.

My door opened and little feet ran in, laying in my bed next to me.

"Hey daddy." She says.

"What's up, Ellie?" She shrugs. I chuckled at her.

"Alright, you've got school tomorrow kid. It's 8 o'clock so it's bedtime." I sigh, she sighs with me.

"I know, it sucks." I say before standing up and signaling her to jump in my arms. She does just that and I carry her to her room.

I set her down in her bed and searched her closet for pajamas.

"Did Cameron help you brush your teeth like I asked?" I looked back at her. She shook her head.

"Of course not." I whispered.

"Here princess, put these on then we can go brush our teeth." She nods and i turn around so that she could get dressed.

"All done!" She exclaims. I pick up her dirty clothes and she follows me to the bathroom.

I grab the little stool that we got her and she stands on it. I reach for her toothbrush and for mine, I hand it to her and we begin the short process.

We finished and i carried her back to her room. I laid her down and covered her up. I kissed her forehead and said goodnight.

I left the door cracked and the hall light on, just the way she likes it.

I run to the laundry room and put her clothes in the dirty clothes basket because there is no way in hell im washing anymore clothes.

"Night!" I said. They responded with the same thing and I sluggishly walk to my room.

I set an alarm and lay in bed, throwing the covers over me.
