Don't Mind Us

Fourteen

I woke up cuddling Max.

The sun wasn't even up yet so I picked him up and carried him to his tent.

As I tried to place him on his bed, though, he wouldn't let go of me.

I tried to get him off but he had a tight grip.

"Ugh... Fine!" I carried him to David's cabin and put him on the bed.

He relaxed his grip and when I laid down he cuddled me.

"Kid, I'm not your teddy bear now let go." I told him.

He didn't listen and rested his head on my shoulder.

Even though I hate kids, I actually liked cuddling with Max.

His soft hair tickled me and made me smile.

I guess I am technically his dad... I thought as I rubbed his head.

"Daniel?" David shot up and looked at me.

"SHHHH!!!" I shushed him then pointed to Max.

"What is he doing here?" David asked me.

"It's a long story..." I said.

He raised an eyebrow.

"Whatever." He said before going back to sleep.

Max smiled in his sleep and giggled softly.

I hugged him before letting my eyelids drop.

Goodnight Max... I thought as I fell asleep.
