Daddy's Best Friend

Chapter Twenty-Nine

My dad was obviously at work, so I was all alone at his house. I still had my key so I just let myself in and put my suitcase in my old room.

I walked into the kitchen to get some food since I didn't get to eat my lunch. I just made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and ate it in the living room watching some Shameless.

I finished eating my sandwich and took my plate into the kitchen. I rinsed off my plate and put it into the dishwasher. 

Being here alone felt weird. I should be at my home with Dallas. But what was I supposed to think when Grayson was all up close and personal with that blonde? I went up to my old room and walked into the bathroom. I ran the bath and put it some bubbles.

It was too quiet for me so I put on some music. Of course I played my playlist on spotify and just relaxed.

The warm water and the music was all so relaxing and I started to drift off into sleep.

-

I woke up to my music turned down and Grayson with his peaking out of the door. He had his jacket off and the sleeves of his dark blue button up were rolled up to his elbow.

"Dallas, you cant come in here right now. Please, go downstairs and hang out with Charlie. Me and Leah will be down soon.

He shut the door fully and turned around. He looked at me and saw I was awake, he walked over and down on the ground next to the tub.

"Well are you going to explain or just look at me?" I sassed.

"No need for the attitude." he said and gave me his signature stern look but, I wasn't having that shit right now.

"I have every right to have an attitude with you right now." I said.

"Her name is Samantha. We used to fool around with each other. She came into my office and expected me to want to do stuff with her but of course I didn't. I was standing in front of trying to get her to leave. She pulled my to her by my tie and that's what you saw. Nothing happened. Baby, you know I love you and would never want to do anything to hurt you." He said and took my hand from under the want and held it in his.

"You gotta come her to kiss me. I cant sit up like that anymore." I said making his chuckle as her leaned over the side of the tub and kissed me. "Alright now help me up." I said and held out both of my hands for him to take.

I dried my self off and put on a sweatshirt and sweatpants. 

"Can I call you grandpa?" I could hear Dallas ask as I made my way down the steps. I smiled to myself knowing that he was talking to my dad.

I walked into the kitchen and Dal was sitting on the counter in front of my dad eating a Reese cup. 

"Well sure you can." My dad with a big smile on his face.

"Where is Grayson?" i asked.

"Right here." he said and walked in from behind me. "I was taking a shit." he laughed.

"Daddy you can't say that, that's a bad word." Dallas yelled at his dad.

"You're right, i'm sorry."Grayson said. "Ready to go?" he asked and rubbed my back.

I smiled and nodded my head. "Bye, dad." I said and gave him a hug.

"Bye grandpa." Dallas said and also gave him a hug. 

I smiled at Dallas calling my dad 'Grandpa' and followed them both out of the house. Grayson and Dallas got into Gray's car and I got into my car.

When we got home, Gray took Dallas upstairs to take his nap. I picked up Dallas's toys in the living room,  that he forgot to put in his toy box.

I walked up the steps to put some books of his on his book self and before I walked into his room, Gray walked out on the phone with someone. His back was facing me not knowing I was standing behind him.

"Samantha, I told you no. I have a girlfriend and my life is finally back on track. So, leave me and my family the fuck alone." After he said that I could hear her still trying to fight with him. 

Taking him, and I, by surprise I grabbed the phone from his hand and held it up to my ear. "Hi, Samantha is it? My name is Leah, and I am Grayson's live in girlfriend. I would greatly appreciate it if you would stop calling him and trying to get him back. I don't know if you have heard or not but, me and him are having a baby. He loves us very much and wouldn't leave us for a dirty gold digger, like yourself. Thanks, have an amazing day." I said and hung up.

I turned to face Grayson and handed his phone back to him. "Problem solved." I said and gave him a bitchy smirk walking past him into Dal's room to put away his books.

"Can you lay down with me and have daddy read us a bed time story?" Dallas asked and sat up a bit in his seat.

"But i'm not going to sleep yet bud." I laughed.

"I know but the baby might be tired." he said.

I nodded my head and shouted for Grayson. 

"What's up, babe?" he asked and came into the room standing next to me.

"Dal wants you to read him and the baby a bed time story." I said and laid down next to Dal where he had made room for me.

He put his head on my chest and I put my hand on his back scratching up and down to try and make him sleepy.

"Alright ladies and gent's, what are we reading today?" Grayson asked standing in front of the bookcase with his hand on his hips and all of his weight on his right foot.

"Love you forever!" Dallas shouted.

"Oh come on bud, we have read that one a thousand times." Grayson whined.

"But it's my favorite,daddy." Dallas pleaded.

"Yeah, it's my favorite too daddy." I said pleading with Dallas.

Grayson head snatched in my direction and he gave me a stern look. I just giggled at him as he gave in and grabbed 'Love You Forever' off of the shelf.

He walked over, bringing a chair with him, and sat down right in front of me by the bed. He held it so I could read some and he could read some.

"Leah, you start." Dallas said and closed his eyes.

"A mother held her new baby and very slowly rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth." I read.

Then it was Gray's turn.

" And while she held him she sang:
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as i'm living

my baby you'll be."
