Chapter 3

Callum up top^^

It was the end of the day and I'm waiting for the little cutie to meet me. I told him to meet at the big willow tree on the top of the hill in the back of the school.

After a while I got to thinking, was I too straight forward with him? Does he even like me? Would it be too soon to ask him to be mine? Yeah way too soon right?

"C-Callum?" I looked down and saw the little blonde haired boy that has been occupying my mind.

I then realised I never asked his name. I don't think I've ever seen him before either, he looks like a freshman.

"Hey, I'm sorry I never asked your name?"

"O-Oh it's Theo." I nodded my head and smiled.

"Cute name for an adorable boy." He looked down, blushing.

"So, Theo what grade are you in?"

"Junior year." He looked much younger, he has such a cute baby face.

"Oh? Then why are you in so many senior classes?" He was in a lot of classes that juniors usually wouldn't be in, so maybe he skipped a grade?

"Oh, I skipped a grade." Knew it.

"Ah, cute and smart." He looked down again.

"Y-You really do know how to make someone as red as a fire truck." I chuckled, and ruffled his hair. He was awkward yet cute.

"S-So where are we going?" Oh shit, I didn't think about that. Nice going Callum, ask the guy to meet you to do something but don't have anything planned.

"U-Umm, How about... Ice cream! And we can chat and get to know each other more." He smiled.

"Ice cream? Really?!" He looked genuinely exited, his eyes got 10x bigger I swear.

"I've never seen someone so exited for ice cream before." He was basically jumping up and down.

"I love ice cream! Let's go let's go!" I laughed and we started walking to my car, he is so cute I can't get over it.

"Woah, you have such a nice car!" I smiled and opened the door for him.

"Thank you, saved up for it myself. It was a big ol' hunk of junk before I started working on it." He looked at me with wide eyes.

"You know how to fix cars?" I nodded my head, closing his door and running around to the other side to get in.

"Of course, my father taught me before he passed away." It got quiet, and awkward all of a sudden.

"I'm so so sorry about that." I shrugged.

"Hey, I like to think of it this way. Instead of crying and being sad about someone's passing, I celebrate what time we did have together. I celebrate their life." He nodded and smiled up at me.

"That's an amazing way to think about things." I smiled and pulled out of the school.

"Always gotta look at the positives, or you'll spend your whole life looking at the negatives."

Theo's POV:

"Welcome to "Cherry On Top" What can I get for you?" A cheery woman in her mid twenties looked at us expectantly.

"I'll get the espresso flavor please." I crunched up my face at his choice.

"I'll get mint chocolate chip please." Mint chocolate chip was the ultimate flavor, next to cookie dough of course.

"Gross mint chocolate." I gasped and turned to Callum.

"Says the one that got espresso, who even gets that?" I crossed my arms.

"'Me, obviously." We sat down at a booth over in the corner, as the lady at the counter said they would bring the ice cream to us.

"Pft" He put on a hurt face.

"Wow, I guess I'm not good enough to sit in front of you, majesty. I'm sorry that my ice cream choice disgusts you." He flipped imaginary hair over his shoulder. I giggled at how silly he looked.

"Y-You look silly when you do that." He smiled.

"Well I'm glad that I made you laugh." We looked at each other in the eyes for a solid five seconds until I looked down, embarrassed.

"Here's your ice cream, one espresso and one mint chocolate chip." A guy served us our ice cream. He handed Callum his ice cream and when he handed me mine our hands touched and his hand lingered on mine.

"Thanks!" I pulled my hand away and started eating my ice cream immediately. When the waiter walked away I looked up at Callum and he was glaring a hole into the back of the waiters head.

"What's wrong?" He tutted.

"He was one hundred percent flirting with you, didn't you see his hand lingering?" I shrugged my shoulders, shoveling more ice cream in my mouth.

"It was probably a mistake." I wiped my hands on my pants because I got some ice cream on them.

"Mistake my ass." I stopped eating and looked up at him.

"Please don't swear." He nodded and said sorry.

"Let's not talk about the waiter, let's talk about each other." I suggested and he nodded his head.

(Bold text is the questions and this text is the answers)

What's your favorite color?

Pastel pink

Favorite movie?

Lilo and Stitch, of course

Favorite food?

Ice cream and Dino nuggets!

If you could go to one place in the would where would it be?

I would go to a place that was pastel and fluffy, Everyone is required to compliment someone every day and bunnies are everywhere!

The questions went on like this for a while, and I would ask him questions in return. Until one question came up.

What would you do if I asked to be your daddy?

I stayed silent for a minute not believing what he said. Did he really mean that?

"What I'm saying is, I really like you. I would like to try and be your caretaker, your daddy." I sat there wide eyed, staring at him.

"It's ok if you don't want me t-"

"Yes"

"Wait.. really?" He looked at me, with hope glimmering in him.

"Yeah... you can try if you want. I'm just afraid you want like me." I looked down and started scratching my arm, a habit that I've had since I was really young. I would scratch my arm when I was nervous, and sometimes I would break skin without realizing it. (I actually do this a lot irl)

"Are you kidding me? How could I not like you. Not only are you simply adorable, you are so sweet and have an amazing personality. Whenever you smile it makes me want to smile." My face is probably so red right now.

"Really?"

"Really." I smiled and nodded my head.

"Yes, yes I want you to be my daddy."

He smiled and reached over, ruffling my hair.

"Would you like anything else?" I looked up and saw the waiter standing there.

"No were good." Callum, or should I say daddy said to the waiter.

"What about you handsome." The waiter looked at me, not paying attention to daddy.

"I'm good, thank you sir." He smiled and started writing down on a note pad, handing me a piece of paper when he was done.

"Call me some time OK?" Daddy quickly took the paper and crumped it.

"Sorry, he's taken better luck next time bud!" He yelled to the waiter.

"I told you he was flirting with you." I shook my head giggling.

"Sorry, I guess I'm kinda oblivious to that stuff." I shrugged and ate the last spoonful of my ice cream.

"Kinda?" He laughed.

When I was done with my ice cream I pushed it aside, sad that it was gone in the first place. Why can't I just have an endless bowl of ice cream, that whenever it was empty it would regenerate new ice cream.

"You're such a messy eater." I felt my face being wiped with a napkin.

"Sorry." I licked my lips, getting the last of the minty goodness.

"So I'm wondering, what do I do when you're in little space?" He looked at me genuinely curious.

"Mmmm, I guess do thinks like you would with a kid, play with me, love me." He smiled.

"That won't be hard."

We got up and walked out of the shop. I looked down at my phone to see that I had about twenty missed calls from my mother.

"Uh oh." Daddy put an arm around me.

"What's wrong?" He started petting my head, and it was calming me down a little.

"It's my mom, she called me I'm so dead."

"Just call her back, I'm sure she'll understand." I scoffed.

"Yeah, when she becomes a whole other person. She's probably thinking I've joined some type of cult or something."

"Daddy?" He looked at me quickly, smiling.

"Of course Angel." My legs got weak when he called me that, and apparently he noticed.

"You like that nickname?" I nodded my head yes, gulping.

"L-Let's go before my mom makes me read the Bible 50 times." He nodded and we walked to the car, he open my door for me before running over to his side and getting in himself.

I can't believe time went so fast when I was with him, and I can't believe I finally have a daddy. Today was a good day and to think what if I didn't go to school today? This may have never happened.
