A Lifetime with you

Chapter 16

Ezrah's POV

I can't stop smiling seeing Nikki sleeping in my room.

It's been a week already since he moved here with his brother.

I panicked when I heard a shattering sound outside. It could be Nigel. It seems like Nikki didn't hear it at all as he is still sleeping soundly.

"Gel, what happened?" He moved a chair to the sink. He is wearing huge gloves for him.

"I am washing the plates, but I broke the glass. Sorry, dad. I'll clean it." He said.

"It is so early. Just leave it. I'll clean them."

"Mom would hate when he sees a dirty sink. Why didn't you wash the dishes last night?" He asked me.

"I am sorry, little guy. I will make sure that there will be no dirty plates left in the sink from now on."

"Thanks, dad." I really have an instant son.

"Since you washed the plate, do you want to go somewhere else?" I asked Nigel.

"Don't you have work today, dad? You need more money because we are living with you already. We eat a lot. I just want to say in advance." Gel told me.

"No problem, kiddo. You can eat anything you want. Free your schedule later because we will do grocery shopping. Let's fill the pantry for you."

"And dad, can I buy 2 dozens of eggs and flour? I will practice baking. I promise I won't waste them."

"I'll buy anything you want." I patted this good kid's head. He is smart and he knows his goal in life which I am impressed with for his age.

"Can a baby eat brownies?" He asked randomly.

"How old is the baby we are talking about?"

"I am not sure about the age but he is small. Remember the clean baby of mommy Reese?" Nigel asked.

"The clean baby? Does he have a dirty baby?"

"Oh, yes. He has a dirty baby. The one with the mark on the chest. I will only give it to the clean baby since I pity him because mommy Reese said he is not special."

"Okay, do what you want. I will gladly buy them all. Why don't you start making a list now while we are waiting for Nikki?"

"Okay, dad. I will." He ran to where his bag is and started writing.

I checked Nikki on our bed.

"Baby!"

"Fuck it, Ezrah! Shut up!" He grunted.

Okay. Back off. It's a bad idea to wake Nikki up.

As a sweet boyfriend, I tried to make breakfast for Nikki.

"What are you burning, dad?" Nigel asked me.

"I am burning nothing. I am preparing a special breakfast for Nikki and our baby Nigel."

"I think I am not in the mood for rice today, dad. I'll make pancakes real quick." Nigel get a bowl and started mixing some eggs and flour.

"What is that burning smell?" Nikki woke up. "What the hell is this? Did you do this, Gel? I told you to wake me up." Nikki said grumpily.  Why is he so annoyed so early?

"I didn't mom. It's dad. He burnt the nuggets, bacon, and eggs."

Nikki looked at me. "Why are you wasting them? You could have at least woke me up to cook."

I tried but you just swear on me in return.

"I want to cook for you." I said.

"Sit down. Let's eat." He said while he put some plates on the table.
