Knock Me Out

Chapter 86

Pleas vote. Those👆 are the outfits Chan and Meg wear.

"Please take care of her for me." Eldridge says to me.

"I will. There's no doubt about that." I answer.

"Okay I'll leave now. Drew behave okay? Don't give anyone a hard time and we're gonna try to not be mean right?" He says cupping Drew's face in his hand.

"Yes daddy. I'll be on my best behavior. Promise." Drew sighs.

"Good. Daddy loves you okay. Don't let anyone tell you any different. You're all I have."

"I know daddy. I love you too. Don't worry I'll be fine." Drew replies. The way she said it with her small toddler voice makes it so funny.

These two are just adorable. Eldridge has been saying goodbye for over twenty minutes now.

"You know you don't have to say goodbye right?" My mom says. "You'll be seeing her as often as you like. You just won't stay in the same house."

"I know. That's what makes it so weird. Her not being around 24/7." He replies running his fingers through his hair. "Last hug baby." He says and hugs Drew for what feels like the millionth time.

"Daddy you're embarrassing me." Drew whispers hugging him. Her whisper however is loud enough for us to hear.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving. Damn." He says running his fingers through his messy hair again.

"Curse word. Five bucks." Drew says.

Her father rolls his eyes and takes a dive dollar bill out of his wallet, which he hands to her.

"You'll have to get used to that. One curse word is five dollars. She came up with that herself." Eldridge says to us.

"She's going to get rich around here." My mother whispers laughing, knowing I usually curse a lot.

While walking towards his car Eldridge stops and turns around again. "I think I...." he starts but we all cut him off, not having any more of this.

"Go!" We all shout at once. Me, my mom, Megan, Cordelia and even Drew.

"Sorry." He apologizes with a shy smile and steps into his car.

"I love you daddy." Drew shouts as he pulls out of the driveway.

When he's out of sight we go inside and I take Drew to her new room. Well my old room actually.

"Wow! It's beautiful. I love it. Thank you aunt Chaniëlle." She says jumping onto the bed.

"Rule number one. Don't call me aunt Chaniëlle. It makes me feel old." I say.

"Okay Chan. What are the other rules?" She ask excitedly. How can she be excited for rules?

"There are no rules actually. Just be respectful, behave and most of all be a child."

"Well that won't be a problem." She says getting on her feet on the bed and starts jumping up and down.

"Great. What would you like to eat?" I ask.

"I've already had enough to eat. Thank you for doing this. I already love it here and your mom is so nice." She says still jumping up and down on the bed.

"You don't have to thank me. I'm glad you like it here." I say sitting on a chair.

"I thought Megan said you were going out? Can I comb your hair?" She asks.

"Oh I'm not going. I'll just hang out with you here." I answer.

"Oh your mom and I have plans, so you can go. I don't mind. Even if you stay here I won't hang out with you." She says falling onto the bed, out of breath.
