Page 38 of Don't Call Me Daddy
I should be ashamed of myself, watching her cute little ass sway until she disappears down the hall, but I can’t look away. I guess I really am a glutton for punishment.
By the time I’ve cleaned her breakfast mess and wiped all the syrup from the countertops and floor, my coffee’s ice cold. I could make myself a fresh cup but decide better of it. Maybe I’ll give my stomach a break … just for today.
My phone buzzes several times on the counter, and I don’t even have to look to know what it’s about.
Mom
Good morning, everyone! I’m hosting Sunday dinner tonight to celebrate Leo and Ivy’s engagement! I hope you can all make it. Six sharp!
Leo
Wait a minute. Shouldn’t you ask the person of honor if they’re available BEFORE you invite the whole family to celebrate? I can’t make it tonight. I’ve got too much work to catch up on before tomorrow.
Roman
Sounds good. See you then.
Dude, I think we all know you can carve two hours out of your busy schedule to celebrate.
Dad
There’s nothing more important than family time. Your mother’s excited, son.
Luka
Will this require my participation? Because I’m struggling to get all the eyeliner off from last night.
Guy
Try baby oil. Trust me, bro, it works like a charm.
Luka
How’d you figure that out?
Guy
Do you really want me to answer that on our family group chat???
Dad
That’s enough, Guy. We’re eating over here.
Guy
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Mom
Is Jett in the group? Jett, are you here?
Roman
Yeah, I added him back after he left last time.
Jett
Yes. I’m here… against my will… but here.
