A Touch Of Cinnamon

Chapter Twelve

I was currently trying to reason and convince my bunny to let me go home for the day

"Come on darling, I'll be back before you know it." He just shook his head childishly, hugging me even tighter than before.

"That's gonna be too long." He whined, his voice muffled by my shirt.
"My parents need me to watch my little brother so I need to go, I promise I'll come right back."
His head immediately moved away from my chest as he stared up at me

"I didn't know you had a little brother!" He exclaimed, smiling I told him "He's in middle school, his name is Maxwell but he hates to be called that, saying something about it makes him sound old." I chuckle slightly remembering my brother saying that.

My little bunny smiles softly
"I gotta meet him then!" I chuckle leaning down to kiss his forehead "Soon Kennedy, soon." He lets go over me, looking away
"If it's for your brother go before I change my mind." He states dramatically "I don't even get a kiss?" I teased causing his face to flush with embarrassment before shuffling over to me and tilting on his tiptoes to reach my lips before placing a sweet and simple kiss.
"Now, go before you make me die of embarrassment!" He proclaimed, shooing me out the door.

Once he successfully pushed me out the door before I had the chance to even speak. The door was slammed in my face, causing me to shake my head.

He's something else.

Getting in my car, I drove to my house to see my parents waiting by the door. My mother has her hands on her hips, tapping her foot on the driveway. I groaned knowing what's to come.

Getting out of the car, I raise my hands in defence "Mom before you say anything, I got caught up." I told her nervously.

She narrowed her eyes on me "I told you a specific time to be home to watch your brother, you're lucky our meeting was delayed!" She scolded, pointing her dainty finger at me.

"I was with Kennedy." I defend, and let me tell you just at the mention of my sweet bunny's name her anger immediately simmered down
"Oh that's alright then, you should really bring him over." She suggested while I nod in agreement
"When will you guys be back?"
"Around eleven in the afternoon at least."

Dang it, I will have to wait longer to have my Bunny in my arms.
"Well darling, your father and I have to go now, be good and watch your brother." She states hugging me
"I will mom, I promise." My mother smiles before turning to yell over her shoulder "Theodore get your ass in the car or we'll be late!" She turns back to me kissing my cheek
"Love you, be good." before getting inside her chauffeur, not too long after my dad comes running
"See ya son." he ruffled my hair before opening the car door "Mi amore couldn't you have refrained from yelling at me!" He whines, and with that their car left.

My lips twitched into a smile at my parents' relationship as I walked inside the house.

"Maxwell!" A grunt sounded throughout the house with stomping footsteps along after
"What? And you know I hate being called that!" He grumbled, giving me the stink eye.
"Come on we're going to go shopping!" I say ignoring his words. "Why are we going shopping?" He asked with absolute dread in his voice. "To buy a dog." I state seriously.

He looks at me as if I've grown two heads "Why?!"
"Kennedy wants a dog." I say plainly, pushing him into his room to change. "Who's Kennedy?!"
"My boyf- uh" Kennedy and I haven't made things official now that I think about it. "My boyfriend, and why so many questions?" He rolls his eyes before slamming the door in my face.

What is with people and liking to slam doors in my face today?

As I waited for Max to finish getting ready, I decided to call Ms. Johnson about getting Kennedy a dog.
