"What do you want to eat?" I ask.

I had taken Y/N's advice and took Leilani to dinner.

"Dino nuggies!" she exclaimed. I shushed her with a laugh and she covered her mouth.

"Want me to order for you?" I ask, she nods and smiles at me. The waitress comes over and I order our food. We wait and talk about random stuff. The waitress places down our plates and winks, I move my eyes back to Leilani quickly.

"Back off!" Leilani yells.

I shush Leilani, "It's alright."

"She winked," Leilani mumbles, "That's what you do before you and mommy go in the room to kiss."

I raise my eyebrows and widen my eyes, the waitress apologizes and walks away awkwardly.

"You see that?" I ask, taking a bite of my food.

"Duh," Leilani says, "You guys do it a lot."

I nod as she shoves a chicken nugget into her mouth, I laugh at how her cheeks get even bigger.

"I like your mommy a lot," I say.

"I know," she says, "I know everything."

"Do you now?" I laugh.

"Yep!" she says, "You guys are getting a cat."

"No we're not," I say, my eyebrows knitting themselves together.

"Boyfriend Zach said so," she explains, "He says you're 'pussy whipped' and a pu-"

I cough and grab my water, taking a few sips so I wouldn't choke.

"Do not say that," I say, "That doesn't mean I'm getting a cat."

"But a cat is a pussy," she says.

"That's not what pussy whipped means," I say, "Just don't say that, I don't want your mom yelling at me."

"Last time she yelled at you she kissed you in the pool," Leilani says, "Don't you like that?"

"You talk a lot," I say.

"Mommy taught me that," she says, "Not like dad could teach me anything."

"You're three," I say, "How do you talk like this?"

She shrugs and drinks some of her juice.

"Mommy and Aunty Rosie had nothing to do," she says, "They teach me to talk."

"You talk like a grown up," I say.

"Thank you," she smiles, "You talk like a grown up too."

I laugh, "Thanks. How's your dinner?"

"It's yummy!"

"Hurry, finish your ice cream," I say, "I didn't get anybody else any." She giggles and bites into the small bit of cone she had left.

"You eat the last one!" she exclaims.

She sticks out the small piece of ice cream cone left and I take it in my mouth. She smiles at me and I take her into the house, I go straight to the kitchen and sit her on the island. I get a wet napkin, wiping her mouth and hands. She picks up the rose I bought her from an elderly lady on the street.

"You like your flower?" I ask.

She nods and smiles, "It's pretty."

"You'rs pretty," I say, picking her up and holding her on my hip like before, "Let's go find mommy, she texted me that she needs to take you home."

She nods and holds onto me as I go up the stairs. I go to my room and hear her singing.

"-wish you could sell."

I put my finger to my lips and Leilani nods, listening with me.

"If teardrops could be bottled. There'd be swimming pools filled by models. Told a tight dress is what makes you a whore. If 'I love you' was a promise. Would you break it, if you're honest? Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before. I don't wanna be you anymore."

I knock lightly on the door and open it slowly. Y/N turns and smiles, holding her arms out.

"How are my two favorite people in the world?" Y/N asks.

"Daniel bought me a rose!" Leilani says, excitement weaved into her voice.

Y/N smiles and takes Leilani from me, "Oh really?"

"We had a nice time," I say, "I learned that she really does talk a lot."

Y/N laughs and nods, "She sure does."

"I'm tired," Leilani says, "I want to go to bed, mommy."

"Well we gotta get home then," Y/N says.

"We can't stay?" Leilani asks.

"Not tonight," Y/N says, "Maybe another time."

"Can Daniel come over?" Leilani asks.

"You really like Daniel, don't you?" Y/N says with a tiny laugh.

"I want him to be my dad," Leilani says, yawning.

Y/N stiffens, "That's enough, let's go home."

"I'll see you later," I say, "Text me when you get home?"

Y/N nods and kisses me, "Say bye to Daniel."

"Bye Daniel," Leilani says.

"Bye beautiful," I say.

Y/N opens the door to the bedroom and walks out, I smile and pull my shirt off to get ready for bed. I hear footsteps approaching my room quickly and I turn, Y/N runs back through the door and pulls me into a kiss. After the initial shock that filled me, I place my hands on her face to pull her deeper into the kiss. After a few moments she pulls away from me with a huge smile, breathing deeply.

"I love you," she smiles. Confusion and happiness floods my body as a smile rises to my face. "Say something so I don't feel stupid please," she says with a little laugh, placing her hands on top of mine.

I peck her lips, "I love you too."

"Okay, uh, cool," she says shyly, "I'll see you later or something."

She walks out and I run a hand through my hair as happiness spreads through my body, almost like a drug.

"You're so pussy whipped!" Zach's voice comes through the wall and I laugh loudly.
