Thursday arrived and I was a heap of nervous energy the entire day. I picked Felix up from school and we headed home so he could clean up and change for his night out with Stoney. We were both buzzing with excitement as he got ready.
“Is Stoney really taking me to the Summit?”
“Yep,” I said, combing his hair.
“Can I play laser tag?”
“You’ll have to ask him.”
“Can we bowl?”
I chuckled. “You’ll have to ask him, sweetie. He’s the boss of you tonight, so what he says goes.”
“I’ll be good, Auntie.”
I kissed his forehead. “I know you will.”
Stoney arrived just before six and I pulled the door open so fast, I almost lost hold of it. “Hi,” I said. “He’s coloring in the kitchen.”
He smiled, leaning down to kiss my cheek. “You look pretty.”
“Oh, um, thanks.” I shivered, wanting to strip in front of him for some reason. “I actually haven’t changed from work.”
“It’s workin’ for you.”
I smiled, closing the door behind us, and leading him into the kitchen.
“Stoney!” Felix squealed, launching into his arms for a hug.
Stoney caught him, squeezing him tight. “Hey, bud, you ready for some fun?”
“Can we play laser tag? And bowl?”
“Please,” I prompted.
“Please,” Felix said.
Stoney set him back on his seat. “Yeah, bud, we can do whatever you want.”
