I began to clean up all the toys that laid on the livingroom floor. I had already changed out of my nice clothes into a pair of yoga pants and a tank top. I had already put Carson to bed, and Nathaniel is probably playing video games or watching tv as usual.
I placed all the toys in the toy chest then rounded up all the dishes to start doing that. I cleaned out the sink which was filled with dirty dishes. I rinsed out the nasty sink and filled it up with soapy hot water, hoping it'll kill all the disgusting germs on the dishes. I grabbed a wash cloth and wiped down the counter tops. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to work nights and have a lazy husband.
Speaking of the devil, he walked out into the cleaned living room dressed nicely with keys in his hand. He pulled out his new iphone 6 and began to call someone. I shook it off and began to do the dishes. It's times like this that I wish we had a dish washer.
"Yeah, I'll be there soon." I over hear him say. I turned around to look at an evil smirk on his face. His hair is nicely combed and he's wearing colonge for once. He walks over to me and kisses me on the cheek. "I'm going to a bachalors party." He whispers in my ear. I'm getting a bad feeling about this. WSince when does he like to look nice and smell good?
"kay. Have fun." I whisper back. I turn around as he walks away from me, not even a goodbye kiss or hug. He's expecting to get laid tonight, and it's not by me.
"Oh, can you make me a sandwich?" he freezes at the door as he asks me to make him food. I flashed him a dirty look and shook my head.
"No, i'm not a slave, and bring your son with you, I have to go to work in an hour." I remebered. he shot me a look then began to argue with me.
"Why in the hell would I bring a 4 year old to a party with me?!" He yelled.
"maybe because I don't have a daycare at the office and he can't be left alone here. Either you bring your son with you, or you can't go. The adult in the house has to go to work to support your ass." That sounded harsh, but it's the truth. All he does is drink and drink and drink. He doesn't spend time with Carson anymore because he's always drunk or out with friends. He used top not be like this. He would take time off of work to spend time with us, but now it's like he wants to avoid us. Nathaniel raised his fist at me, then let it fall to his side.
"It's your god damn problem, you deal with it." he marches out of the house, slamming the door behind himself. I rolled my eyes, then dried my hands off so I could call my boss. Carson walks in the kitchen and hugs my legs.
"What are you doing awake hun?" I ask him as I dial the number to the detective office.
"I heard dad yell." He manages to say through his sleepy voice. My boss Alexander answers his phone fairly quickly.
"Hey Dakota, what's up?" He sounds very content, which is nice for the moment I'm having right now.
"Nate decided to run off and party so I'm stuck with Carson, do you mind if I can bring him in with me. He'll probably sleep the whole time anyways." I explained to him. Nate didn't say snything at first, which makes me think he's trying to come up with a solution for the situation.
"Fine by me as long as he stays in the break room. He can even watch some t.v if he wants." alexander offers. I thank him for being lienent with me, then hung up.
"I'm sorry baby. Can you go get your backpack and put a pair of clothes in it and maybe a few toys?" I asked him nicely. He nods his head then wonders off in the direction of his bedroom. I quickly finish the dishes before changing into my work clothes. By the time I was finished getting ready, Carson was too. I carried him to my car then drove off to work, which was only 15 minutes away.

"Okay, here's the remotw to the tv. If you want to watch a movie just come and get me. I'll be in the office next door if you need me. If you get hungry, we'll go to the cafateria and I'll get you something. Sounds good?" after he nods his head I tell him to behave then walk my way to start my shift. As soon as I walk into my office, my work phone rings. I answer it, and the person I didn't want to talk to said hey.
"What do you want?" I complained. You can hear the disappointment in my voice.
"I need to be pickedup." As soon as he said that, I hung up. He can't be playing these games with me tonight.
"Hey, Dakota?" My boss stood in the door frame with someone a little taller than him beside him.
"Please, come in." I invited them both in as i sat down in my office chair. They both took a seat by my desk, then alex began to explain to me that the man who's sitting in the room with us is new and needs to be trained and asked me if I could train him. I accepted the offer then my boss left my office.
"I'm Peyton." The tall, broad built young man introduced himself as he stood up. I stood up moments after him to shake his hand.
"as you may already know, I'm Dakota." I flashed him a friendly smile.
"How old are you Peyton?" I didn't mean to ask him that, I just wanted to break the awkward silence.
"I'm 20. You?"
"20." I breifly replied. "Welcome to the team."
