Archie

Her Plan

Katie

The bed dips so I immediately pretend to be asleep. "Hey Tiger... are you sleeping?" Archie asks, but I stay quiet. "I thought so... Cub's asleep too. Listen I'm sorry for whatever I did... I don't want you two to be mad at me... I guess I'll talk to you in the morning. I love you, Tiger"

I frown.

I wake up to laughter and get out of bed to walk out of the room.

There...

There's Sarah and my boyfriend laughing. Their eyes dart to me. "Katie! Just woke up?" Sarah giggles and I look at her in confusion before looking at a nearby mirror to see my hair a mess.

Archie chuckles. "Every morning Tiger has that beautiful hairstyle going on" he stands up to passionately kiss my lips. "Good morning, gorgeous" he puts his hands on my waist, making me smile. "Do you feel like grabbing us a bottle of Smirnoff" he asks.

I drop my jaw and look over to Sarah to see her smirking. "S-sure" I stutter and walk to the kitchen to grab them their damn alcohol.

"Thanks!" they both say.

I nod with a smile then Brooklynn walks out of the room. "Daddy why is she here?" she immediately says.

Archie raises an eyebrow. "Why?"

Brooklynn frowns. "I don't like her"

Archie looks at her, shocked.

Brooklynn has always been sweet and kind, unless it comes to her daddy of course. But she's never like this.

Archie sighs. "Go in your rook if you're going to continue being mean"

Brooklynns eye fog up and she begins to cry. I drop my jaw and immediately pick her up. "Archie! Stop being a dick!" I shout at him as Brooklynn cries in my chest.

He looks at Sarah. "Sorry," he says.

Sarah waves her hand. "Oh no! Don't worry about me" she says.

Archie looks back at us. Archie has never disciplined Brooklynn or would ever tell her something like that. I mean how cruel is that? I know it's discipline... but Archie... he always let her get away with anything.

I roll my eyes. "Come on baby, go change real quickly and stay in your room until I come to get you" I kiss her head before letting her down. She goes in her room and Archie looks at me.

I just shake my head and go into our room to quickly change into my clothes before getting Brooklynn. "Where the fuck are you going?" Archie asks and I take Brooklynn and leave the house.

I drive us to mom and dads and when we arrive, dad immediately walks of out of the house. "Woah woah woah it's early, what are you doing here?" he asks and I frown. "Archie and Sarah huh?"

I nod. "She's a meanie!" Brooklynn sticks her tongue out then everyone walk out of the house. "Uncle Cart!!" Brooklynn runs to Carter and he picks her up with a smile.

I sigh and look at everyone. "He's totally different around her... he even told Brooklynn that if she's gonna continue being mean, that she should stay in her room" I say and they all gasp.
