| EXUSE THE MISTAKES!!|

Chantel POV *

I sent Keyaira a text telling her that I didn't need a ride back home from work. A few seconds after I sent it, my phone vibrated in my hand and it was a message from Keyaira asking why not. I decided just not to tell her and exited out of my messages.

"You ready Ms. Channy?"

I shoved my phone back into my pocket and forced a smile on my face as I shook my head yes.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I mumbled. I took a quick look at Mr. Brown and watched as he looked down at Carmen with so much care in his eyes.

"Are you ready little one?" He asked her.

"Yup! Let's go!" She grabbed ahold of our hands and began pulling us out of the building and towards the car.

As I sat in the car and listened to Carmen tell Mr. Brown about her day, I couldn't help but smile a little. It was just so cute how passionate she was when she talked about her school day and how excited she was when her mother told her that 'Uncle Chrissy' was going to be picking her up from daycare today.

Once Carmen was finished telling her stories as Mr. Brown and I listened, we were finally pulling up to Sweet Frogs. Mr. Brown got out of the car and quickly opened the door for Carmen.

"You getting out the car Ms. Channy?" Mr. Brown asked. I looked up to meet his eyes and his face which held a smug smirk on his face. I turned around and rolled my eyes as I opened up the car door and stepped out. Following behind Carmen, we all walked into the slightly crowed IceCream shop.

"Come on Babygirl tell me what IceCream you want." Carmen pointed to the different IceCream flavored she wanted as Mr. Brown filled up her medium sized IceCream cup. As they did that, I filled my small cup up with vanilla IceCream and different toppings. I headed over the the cashier and placed my cup on the counter and waited for my total.

"Nah, I got you." Mr. Brown said.

"It's fine. I have money."

"My treat." Before I could say anything his long tattooed arms places both his and Carmen's cups of IceCream beside mine and payed for the three of them.

"Thanks." I said as he held the cup out towards me. He smiled and nodded his head then turned to let Carmen choose were we would be sitting. Of course, like any other child, she chose to sit against the giant chalkboard that took up most of the wall. We all sat down with Carmen being in front of the board, Mr. Brown beside her and I sat in front of him.

"Uncle Chrissy can I draw on the board?"

"After you eat your IceCream."

"Ok!" I smiled a little as I watched Carmen stuff the IceCream into her mouth quickly so that she could go play.

In about two minutes, Carmen had finished her whole cup of IceCream and was ready to play on the chalkboard. The cashier bought over some chalk and an eraser for her to play with. Soon enough, she tuned Mr. Brown and I out and was in her own little world drawing.

"So, Ms. Channy." I tore my eyes from Carmen drawing and faced Mr. Brown who was now starring directly at me.

"So, 'Uncle Chrissy'." The second those words left my mouth I regretted it. A sly smirk formed on his face and he chuckled a little.

"I think I like the way you say that." He said. I rolled my eyes and looked back down at my half empty cup.

"Why're you so quiet." Without looking up I shrugged my shoulders and continued to play in my IceCream.
