I wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee
With a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night

"Dan, wake up," I pushed away the arm that shook me and snuggled closer to the warmth of my blankets.

"Dan, for fuck's sake, wake up!" the pillow beneath my head was abruptly ripped from its place and my head hit the mattress with a thump. I groaned and reluctantly opened my eyes to a very flustered Louise.

"What do you want?" I groaned as I pulled the blanket up to my face, she pulled it away instantly.

"Remember how you said I could ask you for any favour while you stayed here?" I groaned, tempted to roll back over onto my side but I couldn't, I did promise her.

"I need you to take Darcy and her friend to school," I threw the blanket over my face once more in defeat, but I still was not quite willing to get up. A second later a set of keys hit me in the nose and sent a sharp pain across my face. I threw the blanket off to grumble at her but she looked at me with her lower lip pushed out, and I knew it was a losing battle, no matter how much my face hurt. I stepped out of the bed.

"Please put some clothes on Daniel, you're doing a school run, not a late night booty call to Phil's," I blushed, covered over my exposed flesh and threw a pillow in her general direction as she exited the room. I sat back on the bed and rubbed my hand over my eyes the blush ever present on my cheeks. I mean, it wasn't like that hadn't happened before. I didn't let myself have sex in Louise's house after all, so late night trips to Phil's may have been a frequent occurrence. It felt like it'd been forever since I had last saw him in person. FaceTime just isn't the same as the real Phil. I wonder how biology can explain the physical pain you feel in your chest when all you want to do is be with someone. He told me he should be home in the next week, but I couldn't wait that long. I couldn't help but think about how much I missed his silly jokes and his silly smile. I climbed out of bed and threw the first piece of clothing I found over my head. I quickly took it off, on second thought, after I looked into the mirror and saw the word 'shit' plastered across the front. School run, it needed to be appropriate. I settled for an oversized stripy sweater and headed into the kitchen. Louise had left me a coffee that I could tell it was mine because she'd put it in my favorite Hello Kitty mug of hers. I knew I was going to steal it from her when I moved back home. I sipped it slowly and listened to hear her say goodbye to the girls in the other room. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket, looked down, and a grin found its way onto my cheeks when I saw it was from Phil.

~Surprise! I'm home early and I'm coming now to tackle you in bed~

I almost spat out my drink, before a buzz of excitement pulsed through my chest. He's coming home now? He isn't meant to be back until the end of this week! Louise broke me from my moment of excitement by tapping me on the shoulder and directed my attention to the two girls next to her.

"Dan, this is Lottie," I smiled at her and came down to her level. She seemed slightly scared of me, as children usually are, I assume it's because of my height.

"Hi, Lottie it's nice to meet you," I almost went to shake her hand but stopped myself when I remembered she was only five, and gave her a big smile instead. She gave me a small smile back and looked a little less scared.

"Alright now that you're acquainted, I best be off. Girls, on your best behaviour please," they nodded, ran off to the lounge room, probably back to the TV show they were watching.
