Mummy I got you a new husband

DAVIS POV.

” I want to play this dad.” I told my dad when we got into the park. I had seen some kids playing and I wanted to join in as it was my favorite game. My dad and I played that game together everytime we were out together and I wanted to play with my dad as I had missed it since it’s been a while we have been out.

I really miss playing with my dad but he always had an excuse everytime since mum supposedly traveled. I figured this was going to be an amazing opportunity for us to have our moments together and I was not going to let it off just like that.

As we highlighted dad had received a call and went on to pick it. When he returned I requested that we played the game but he seemed to engrossed with his phone and I hope everything was fine.

I tapped him the first time when I told him I wanted to play the game but he seemed to distracted to even hear me and when I didn’t get any response I tapped even more to call his attention.

” Dad, I want us to play that.” I said as I tapped him again and he looked away from his phone for a moment and told me to go ahead.

” Alright go ahead then.” He responded and turned back to his phone. It seemed what he was doing was really important but I was important too, I was his son. His only child at that.

” Why did he bring me out here if he was just going to be on his phone.” I muttered and tapped him again, I was sure not going to play our favorite game with some other kids. This was our thing, you know like dad and son.

” Dad I want those games.” I said again and this time when he looked from his phone he seemed furious at me disturbing him and could not hide his irritation and yelled at me.

” I told you to go ahead, you stop bothering me.”He screamed at me and for a moment I felt like i didn’t know my dad as I had never seen him so furious like that and I just ran. I couldn’t bare to be around him shouting at me like that and I did the only thing that came to my mind which was to run.

I was annoyed and ran to meet the other kids. I could not believe dad would scream that way just because I wanted him to play a game with me.

” Davis Davis!!” He called out for me but I was already gone. I was so angry at him and I didn’t want to see him. I ignored him and joined the other kids. When he noticed I wasn’t responded he came in search for me and I hide myself and told all the other kids not to tell him I was there.

” Please dnt tell him I am here.” I spoke to a pretty girl I met at the park and she obliged. She was sure going to be same age as me and was really beautiful.

My dad came around and asked her if she had seen me and she told him no one was there.

” Is that your dad?”she asked me after he had left to the other side of the park to find me and I told her that he was.

” Grown ups do that all the time, it shouldn’t really bother you.” She responded and I just stared at her. She had really pretty eyes and couldn’t seem to get my eyes off her.

“your dad is mean, my daddy will never yell at me like that.” Another kid who happened to have been listening on our conversation said as he walked away.

” I guess it because mummy has not been home in a while, but he said she would be coming today, I dnt know what he is acting up.” I said to the girl who had helped me as we got talking and walking around the park after my dad had left.

” So sorry about that, grown – ups can be very complicated, we can’t seem to understand them. I am Jade and my mum is over there.” She said as she pointed to where her mum was.

” Thanks anyways, am Davis and you look so pretty like your mum.” I responded and she chuckled. She had the most amazing smile and it made me laugh too. I was happy I met her.

” Do you think your mummy left you?” She asked me and I told her daddy had said she travelled but she had not been in touch since then. I guess he is lying but he said she was coming today so I hope that she really is.

” I wonder what I would do if my mummy left me, am so sorry”. she said. Her words were lovely and she made me feel better.

We talked around the park till it was time for her to go home as her mum called out for her and she told me she was going to use her mum’s cell to call me when she got home. I couldn’t be more excited. She seemed so lovely and I couldn’t help how she made me feel.

I decided to play with the other kids when Jade left but they were not having it and told me out straight I was not welcome with them.

” My mum reserved the place strictly for us, sorry we can’t play with you” I felt pained when they pushed me away and decided it was best to go home. I went to look for dad and when I did see him he was engrossed with his phone looking worried as he was trying to make some calls when I met him. I guess he has searched for me to no avail.

“Can we go home dad.. I am tired.” I said as I tapped him and he seemed happy I had returned.

” Where have you been? I have been looking all over for you.” He said and I ignored him. When he spoke further he apologized for yelling at me.

” I am so sorry for yelling at you, just being going through some stuffs and I guess I left my emotions get the best part of me.”

He said as held my hands and I told him it was alright.

” We should head home. I think mummy is home.” He said again as he headed to the car. I smiled as I could not wait to meet my mother.
