You're Running Circles

You're Running Circles

I woke up to a freezing, empty room.

I sighed. Why did I expect him to be here?

I got out of the bed, picked my clothes up off of the floor and put them on. I hurried into my room.

I walked over to Cayden's crib and he wasn't there.

My blood ran cold and my heart started pounding throughout my body. I frantically ran downstairs and into the kitchen, where it found Colson feeding Cayden and Casey helping.

I took a deep breath. "Where's my dad?"

"Church," Colson says standing up and taking Cayden out of the high chair.

"Oh," I say and turn towards the cabinet and get a glass out. I pour me some orange juice and sit in my usual spot.

"Do you ever eat?" Colson asks as he feeds Cayden his bottle.

"Obviously," I say and roll my eyes.

"What's obvious, is that you don't."

I quickly change the subject, "Why are you taking care of Cayden?"

He shrugs, "It's the least I could do after last night." He winks at me.

Then leans down by my ear, "I've missed that pussy."

Right as those words left his mouth, the orange juice left mine.

"What the fuck Colson!"

I hit him.

"You said a bad word," Casey says through a mouth full of cereal.

I take Cayden from Colson and go into the living room. I sit Cayden on the carpet and he just stares at me.

"What bubba?"

He squeals and laughs. I get down on my stomach in front of him.

"Give me kisses," I say and point a finger to my mouth.

Cayden leans his little head down and presses his little mouth onto mine and quickly pulls away.

Cayden sneezed, and then sneezed, and then sneezed again.

"Bless you bubba," I gently say to him.

I felt my phone vibrate and it was a text from Hunter.

Hunter- Thanks for responding to my text TWO DAYS AGO

Me- Sry. I got busy.. What are you doing today?

Hunter- Going to Dusty's(; we're getting shit ready for tonight. wanna come?

Me- Uh sure ! Pick me up on your way out there

Hunter- k. See ya

I quickly ran up the stairs before realizing I forgot Cayden. I ran back downstairs and Colson stood at the bottom of them, with Cayden in his hands.

"Forget something?" He smirks.

I take Cayden and go up to my room.

"You're gonna help mommy pick out an outfit," I say to a happy Cayden as I sit him on the bed.

I go into my closet and pick this cheetah mini dress with 3/4 sleeves.

I curly my long, burgundy hair, the proceed to my makeup. After I'm finished, I laid Cayden on his changing table and change his diaper.

After I'm finished I dig through his little dresser and pick out a onesie that says, I'd Flex But I Like This Onesie.

I rub some baby lotion on his legs and carry him downstairs.
