Page 29 of Daddy's Sinful Baby Girl

The movie was half over when he knew she was deeply asleep. He turned off the TV, lifted himself over her, and then picked her up. After he tucked her into bed, he lay down beside her, just needing to hold her.

When he felt like he’d fall asleep, he got up, walked into his office, sat in his chair, and called Gage.

“Hello, what’s up?” Gage said.

“Why does something have to be up?” Simon asked.

“Because it’s ten-thirty at night, and you never call this late.”

He hadn’t realized so much time had passed. “Sorry, man, I’m just concerned about something.”

“Dude, you know you can call me at any time,” Gage said.

“Thank you. So, I’m concerned about my girl. She’s acted weird the last few days, but today, when I got home, she looked sad. She won’t tell me anything, and I’m at a loss. I wondered if she talked to the girls today?”

“I’ll ask her. I wondered if something happened. Brylee wasn’t her usual cheerful self.”

Simon heard him walking, and then a door opened. From the sound of it, he was waking her up. He would have felt bad if he wasn’t so scared.

“Princess, wake up for Daddy,” Gage said.

“Hi, Daddy,” she murmured in a sleepy tone.

“Hey, did something happen today when you were with the girls?” Gage asked.

There was a pause.

“Baby, I’ve got Simon on the phone. He’s really worried about Casey.”

“He is?”

He was surprised when she sounded shocked.

“Yes, he is. Now, tell me what happened?”

“I can’t, Daddy.”

“Baby, Simon can’t fix what’s broke if he doesn’t know what it is,” Gage said.

“I can’t. I pinky-promised.”

Simon heard Gage sigh.

“We’ll talk about this more, now go back to sleep.”

Simon heard Gage close a door and then sigh again.

“I’m sorry. Something is up, but it’s next to impossible to get them to say anything. They are all extremely loyal to each other.”

“What should I do?”

“Let me keep at Brylee. If I get anything, I’ll call back.”

Simon rubbed his temple. “Anytime. I don’t care if it’s three in the morning.”

“You got it. Don’t worry, we’ll keep our eyes on them. I’ll talk to the other daddies. We always end up finding out.”

“That’s good to know. Thank you.”
