Oh.
“I’m seducible? That’s very nice of him.” He liked giving compliments.
Daddy snickered. “That’s what you’re taking away from that? Give me a kiss. I shouldn’t be woken up with chaos. I need kisses.”
He was just as dramatic as his family…he just hid it better.
“Kisses.” I made Daddy happy before wiggling back in my spot. “Now messages.”
There were more.
Lots more.
“Well, the home is concerned about what’s going on, so she would like us to go down later today and explain that Uncle Alonzo didn’t do anything wrong and had nothing wrong done to him.” Daddy sighed again. “I can understand how that got lost in translation.”
Me too.
“We can go say hi but we have to tell him not to grab my butt where the doctors can see.” They’d never believe he hadn’t been naughty if they kept seeing him pat my bottom. “We can bring him a treat. My beau would like that.”
Daddy couldn’t decide if he wanted to groan or giggle. “You’re going to get us in trouble.”
“Me?” I looked very cute and innocent but Daddy laughed. “I’m your good boy, Daddy.”
But I’d look boring and grown-up for the doctors so we didn’t get Alonzo in trouble.
“I’ll let her know when it’s a more reasonable hour. She texted ridiculously late.” Shaking his head, Daddy mumbled something about everything they did being ridiculous. “Okay.”
Daddy tried to look calm and like a good grown-up. “My mother would like to know if you work for the CIA but she knows I can’t tell her that. So no matter what I say, she’s going to think you’re a spy.”
Daddy gave me a funny look and sighed. “I’m going to ignore her for the time being.”
Because she was silly.
“But the good part is that she likes you and she thinks you fit right in even though you’re a spy.” Daddy studied me like I was the most interesting cutie in the whole wide world. “Still going to ignore her, though.”
It was probably a good idea.
“Sergio texted to let us know that the moms aren’t happy they didn’t get to meet you first. He overheard half a plot that doesn’tmake any sense but he says we should be careful.” Daddy rolled his eyes before he pouted. “Save me.”
“Okay, Daddy.” We were going to start with cameras and then work our way down the list. “What else?”
There was still lots of else, too.
“Carlo said he was glad everything went well but he wants to know why his mother called and asked if you were sleeping with Uncle Alonzo too.” Daddy was going to hurt himself if he kept rolling his eyes like that. “I don’t even know what to say to that.”
Telling myself not to giggle, I did my best to look very boring and serious. “Tell him to say that he’s glad my acting skills are up to par. I was worried that since I hadn’t practiced in so long, I wouldn’t be any good.”
Daddy blinked. “Are you trying to make it sound like you did porn or child acting?”
I shrugged. “Either way I’m just going to smile at her and change the subject. So I don’t think it matters.”
He was the one trying not to giggle that time. “You’re adorable.”
“Thank you, Daddy.” Kisses for my cutie. He still looked worried. “Anything else?”
Yep.
He was going to break his eyes.
