Bang bang bang!
I jump, wondering where I am. I realise I am still sat on Knox’s knee on the recliner….. we must have fallen asleep. I was all cosy on his knee…. In his arms….
I look to him in panic. “It’s ok sweet, it will be Mum and Dad” I feel my heart racing now, in even more of a panic. I wasn’t ready for this…..
“Erm… Knox…” I begin.
He is lifting me up so he can stand to go and answer the door. “Hhhmm?”
“I don’t think I can do this….” I tell him.
He looks to me, his eyebrows raised “Do what? Be my mate?” He looks hurt, letting go of me quickly.
Woah! Where did that come from? I hadn’t said that had I?! Well, I had….. a few dozen times when we’d spoken originally…but not since….
“You not think you should have thought of that before letting me mark you Lilah? He says his voice somewhere between hurt and annoyed.
Ooookkkayyy! He was pissed off. I reached for him. Yet he moved away…..
