Sophia's Love

16

Daddy sat on my bed and watched me run around like a chicken with its head cut off. I giggled and walked back to daddy "Thank you daddy!" I smile up at him.

Daddy smiled and lifted my up onto my new bed "anything for you princess."

Ring... Ring... Ring...

Constantly my phone is nonstop ringing. I quickly pick up my phone "hello?" I asked into the phone.

"Hi Mr. Davidson it is John." I internally groan. John is one of my 'friends' more like annoying competition who always wants to be better than me. Like that can happen.

My eyes scan at the clock to see that its only 7 "why have you called me so early?" I demand. I was sleeping very peacefully and now I'm annoyed that I was woke up.

"Oh were you sleeping? I didn't know..." He trailed off like the manipulating worm he is.

"Of course you didn't know" I swear...

"Well anyway I was wondering when you are finally going to decide to reschedule our meeting. I have a great offer for you." Work. Ugh.

Ew as Sophia would say.

"How about 9 today?" I just want to get this over with.

"Great! See you then friend." And he was gone just like that.

"See you then friend" I mock him. Some people just get on my nerves. I roll out of bed quickly and exit my little abode.

I rub my morning scruff and open the pastel pink door "Yo little cupcake! Let's get up and start the day."

"What do you mean you can't watch her?" I whined at Collin. Sophia sat and ate her chocolate pancakes with chocolate syrup and raspberries for breakfast silently while Albert drank his morning coffee and read on his phone.

"Dude, if I could I would. But I can't take a little girl to a board meeting! She would get bored! It is called a board meeting." He said mater of factly.

I put my head in my hands, "She isn't hard to entertain, give her a pen and notepad then BAM! You have a entertained child." I begged him. I have no one else to watch her. And I can't leave her to fend for herself at home.

"And leave her to draw pink unicorns on my walls?" He argued back.

Well shít...

"Daddy I don't want to stay here..." Sophie says and wraps her arms around my neck a little tighter. I was left with a drop off daycare as my only other option. Sunshine daycare to be exact. Not my favorite choice. I have no idea who any of these people are and why should I leave her here with them?

The lady who runs the daycare handed me a check-in/check-out book.

Screw you John and your stupid meeting...

"Trust me Soph, I don't want to leave you here either" I muttered after I finished signing my name on the dotted line. "But neither of us have a different choice right now."

The daycare lady smiled at me and Sophie "someone will come up front to pick up little Sophia here" she said and went back to her desk in the front office. I sat down and sat a pouting Soph in my lap.

"Oh stop it" I scold and pull out my phone. I skim though my emails. Sophie held Daisy her monkey in her lap. "You are going to be good today right? No tantrums correct?" I check up with her.
