I yawn as I throw a handful of trail mix into my mouth.
I was currently in my bedroom with Natalie watching a movie that was on Disney channel.
She seemed to be asleep, but I didn't feel like changing it.
My lips curl into a smile, I watch how peaceful she's sleeping, I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world.
I run my fingers through her soft hair, then all of s sudden I get a phone call.
Who's calling me at 11 o clock at night?
I look at the caller Id, and my eyes widen.
I couldn't believe it.
It was Leo, Natalie's dad.
I swipe the button and put the phone up to my ear.
"Um hello?" I say nervously into the phone.
"Hey Nicole is that you?" The familiar voice asks.
"Who else would it be." I say annoyed.
"Woah chill I'm sorry I just didn't recognize your voice." he shot back.
"What do you want Leo?" I huff.
"To see my daughter." He replies.
"Why all of a sudden? " I question, I just hear breathing on the other line.
"Hello?!" I say a little bit louder, causing Natalie to shuffle around.
"Because I haven't seen her in a while duh." He says, trying to redeem himself.
"Give me one good reason why I should." I state.
"I already did." He replies.
I paused for a moment.
"I'll um, think about it & I'll let you know tomorrow." I said.
"Sounds good, but can I at least talk to her?" He asks, sounding like he cares.
"She's asleep, you do know it's 11 at night." I say.
"Oh I'm right, we'll have her call me tomorrow, I really miss her, I know this is all sudden but I'm really trying to change for her, for me, for us." He said.
For us?
"Will do, bye now." I say quickly hanging up the phone.
What did he mean by that?
Well he did sound like he was trying to change... but I mean then again actions are stronger than words.
I sigh and lay down to go to sleep as I let all these thoughts roam my mind.
