"Can I go with you?"

You asked him quietly,

watching him as he pulled on

a fresh shirt,

an irritated sigh leaving his mouth

because the exact same thing

happened every time he was

leaving the apartment.

"No sweetheart,

You can't come with daddy

cos it's not safe for you alright?"

"Can I wait in your office?"

You added.

"No you cannot wait in my fucking

office cos the last time you did,

ya wouldn't quit texting me

every ten minutes to complain about it"

He told you firmly.

"I don't have the time to deal with that shit hm?"

"Then can I wait in the car?"

"Look,

baby girl.

There's no chance in hell

you're coming with me

so ya might as well give up"

"What if I wait with frost?"

You continued to push it.

"Frost needs to sit in on

the deal tonight"

"Hm...

Can I go to the movies?"

"No"

He told you through gritted teeth,

starting to lose his patience with you.

"I need all the men I can get

and I'm not sending one of them to

baby sit you so you can watch a

fucking movie.

Stay here and do something"

"Does that mean I can't bake cupcakes?"

You asked him curiously.

"You almost set the kitchen on fire

last time,

so no.

You can't come with me,

you can't see a movie

and you can't use the fucking kitchen.

Does that answer everything for you huh?

Or do ya just want to fucking

annoy me?"

"Is that a real question?"

You raised an eyebrow.

"Can I answer it

or will that lead to spankies?"

"I can confirm

it will lead to fucking spankies"
