Maybe change isn't bad - Payton Moormeier

forty-four

I wake up but I'm too tiered so I go back to sleep. I wake up to someone banging on my front door. I go downstairs and moodily open the door and see Payton there. I don't say anything and walk away. I go into the living room and sit on the sofa, I get the blanket thats on the back of the sofa and pull it over me. Payton sits next to me.

"Have you only just woke up" he asks

"Yeah kinda" I say

"Do you want some breakfast" he offers

"Not yet" I say

"Cuddles while watching tv" he asks

"Yeah" I say giving him the remote

He puts something on tv and I cuddle up to him. He tries to get up but I don't let him because I want more cuddles. Eventually he makes breakfast and after I decide to get ready for the day. Payton stays downstairs while I shower and get dressed. No make up today, I also tidy my room quickly. I go back downstairs and watch tv with him.

"What do you want to do today" I ask once the show finishes

"I don't know, there's not much to do" he says

"I know, are you doing anything later" I ask

"Go karting with the boys, you should come" he says

"Sure, beats staying home and not doing anything" I say

"And we're all going to mine later, you should stay" he offers

"Ok, when are you guys going" I ask

"About three" he says and I nod my head

We watch some more tv before I make him watch after with me. He complains about how it's unrealistic, even though he complains I know he likes it. I tell him the books are even less realistic and I tell him the actual storyline and what's different in the movie.

"Wait you read" he says acting socked

"Not really, but I read those and they were good" I say

"You complain when you have to read more than a paragraph in English and your telling me you read a four book, book series" he says

"Yes that is exactly what I'm saying" I say "Anyway, what some lunch" I ask

"Sure what you cooking" he asks

"Chickens nuggets" I say

"Of course, do you eat anything else" he ask

"Yes, I also eat pasta and chips and snacks" I say "Leave me alone I'm a fussy eater"

"I know you are" he says

He sits at the kitchen table while I cook the nuggets, well put them in the oven. Then I sit at the table with him and scroll through tik tok, I see Payton look at my phone occasionally. The timer for the oven goes off and I take the nuggets out. I put them on the plate and get some sauces. We talk and eat then I tidy up. After we have about half an hour before we should be at Paytons, so I go get a bag and put everything I need in it. We leave and go to Paytons.

"Hey" Faith says when we walk into the living room

"Shouldn't you be at work" Payton says

"No mum sent me home" she says

"Wait you work with your mum" I say

"Yeah, she has her own gym and I work there" she says

"Cool" I say

We stay downstairs before going to Paytons room. He does whatever on his computer and I go on my phone. Esther starts messaging me and I tell her to pay attention in whatever class she is in, obviously she doesn't. The front door goes and not long after three boys walk into his room. There's Dylan, Parker and
