"Where are you going?" I asked rubbing my eyes.

"Shit." I heard him curse under his breath. Because he woke me up tugging on his pants. "I have to record again."

"Again? Zayn it's 7am." I yawned. Also it would be the fourth time this week.

"I'm sorry." He bent down to kiss my forehead. Then my nose. Then my lips. And with that he was out of the room.

I rolled over into the pillow and waited until I heard the door close before I screamed into it.

I took a deep breathe and decided take a quick shower.

Before I could even get up my phone started to vibrate.

"Hello?" I answered walking into the bathroom to start the water for my shower.

"Hey Tori it's Eli."

"Well yeah?" I laughed. "I have caller ID." I could imagine him shaking his head.

"Yeah, yeah. Mel just got called in and I have to go to class and mum and dad are busy. Do you think you could watch Cody for us? Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty-"

"Of corse! I haven't seen him in ages!" Eli and I have always been pretty close for being neighbors but he had been pretty busy starting college, late, and taking care of his son. In high school him and his girlfriend Melissa made some pretty dumb decisions, but they are now stronger than ever.

"Oh my god thank you so much. You were my last hope!" He sighed in relief. "So where should I drop him off? Are you still living with your mum or did you move in with that boy I see you in the magazines?"

I laughed and gave him the address before jumping in the shower.

After I blowed dry my hair I put on some jeans and one of Zayn's jumpers which was oh-so warm.

I heard a knock at the door and jumped off the couch to get it.

"Hey Eli!" I smiled. The little two year old stepped out behind his leg. I crouched down to meet eyes with him. "Cody! Look how handsome you are!" His blonde hair was left alone of his forehead which his blue eyes were about to hide under if he doesn't get a haircut soon. He kinda reminds me of Niall.

"Hi." He giggled raising his arms wanting to get picked up. I lifted him and put him on my hip before giving him a raspberry on his cheek.

"Towi!" He giggle pushing my face away. "I miss you." He hugged me around my neck and gave me a sloppy kiss on my cheek and I tried so hard not to coo at adorable that is.

"Thank you so so so much." He hugged me with one arm.

"No problem! I love Cody!"

"I wove Towi!" Cody giggled. He does that a lot.

"Okay." He kissed Cody's forehead. "Bye you guys! Be back later!" He handed me the diaper bag and was out.

"Looks like it's just you and me bud." I smiled.

"Yay. I like you." He clapped holding his tattered up teddy which he calls 'pwetie'.

"I like you too." I laughed setting him on my lap after I sat down on the couch. He turned around legs and all to face me.

"Mwake you my wife?" He asked.

"Oh my, are you purposing to me Cody?"

He nodded.

I cooed not being able to keep it in.

"Hewre you can hawb pwete and we can live happy forewer." He smiled pushing the teddy in my face.

"I don't think my boyfriend will like that." I giggled.

"Boyfwend?"

"Yes. I live with him here Codes."

"Oh I swee. Your takwen." He said. This boy. "Let's watch nemo pwease." He said not fazed.

"Okay." I giggled.
