I thought he’d make me wait further down the list because this seemed more important than folding his clothes but there might’ve been some Little versus big context I was missing.
Or it could be a Rhodes thing left over from childhood because his family was weird as well as rude.
“You’re special.” Shrugging, I gave him another light kiss. “You just barreled into my life and changed it forever. I had to love you.”
“Oh well.” Laying his head on my shoulder, he sighed. “You can’t help it.”
“Nope. So you’re just going to have to love me back.” My casual,can’t help itkind of tone had him pressing his lips together so he didn’t laugh. “Because I take good care of you and I chase off the invaders when they circle the castle.”
I knew my biggest draw… being able to tell his family to back off.
“You take good care of me.” Kissing my cheek, he smiled as he straightened again. “I love you, Daddy.”
“I love you too, little firecracker.” I loved every inch of my chaos gremlin and no matter how long it took us to work through his fascinating list, that would never change.
“Mine.” Cupping my cheek, he smiled at me. “All mine.”
“All yours, baby.”
For always.
The End
