meeting with these other kids and parents is teaching him that it’s okay to say hi to the people he already knows, but not strangers he has never seen before.”
“I understand. Kids don’t see any danger or bad in people. It’s sweet, but dangerous.”
I nodded, finishing my lunch and placing the empty plate next to me.
“But he would’ve never accepted anyone in his life the way he accepted you. He knows you’re different, and he can feel there’s more to you than just a girl his father hangs out with.”
She smiled up at me but couldn’t contain a grin. “So we’re not just spending time together to make out and eat together?”
I chuckled and shook my head. “Fuck no,” I muttered.
“Daddy! That’s a bad, bad word!” Ira exclaimed, looking at me with a deep frown and worried eyes.
Why did kids have to hear the worst things that came out of people’s mouths?
Rooney laughed softly and nodded to agree with Ira. “He’s right. That’s a very naughty word.”
“I’m sorry, bud. I won’t say it again. I promise,” I told him, brushing through his blond locks.
“Pinky promise?” Ira held out his pinky to me and I curled mine around it.
“Pinky promise. Oh, Hulk too?”
He nodded as he held Hulk’s hand to my pinky, and I promised his little friend the same.
“All done!” Ira then said, pushing himself up onto his feet. “Can we explore now?”
“Yeah, we can.”
I got up as well and took Ira by the hand while Rooney put all the plates together and back into the basket.
“Thank you,” I told her once she was up on her feet too, and with a sweet smile, she kissed my cheek.
“Anytime. Let’s go check out the pond,” she suggested, and Ira quickly took off, pulling me with him.
I loved how attentive and helpful she was and she had all the right intentions.
“Do you see fish in there, Ira?” I asked, standing close to the edge of the pond and holding him close to me so he wouldn’t fall in.
He eyed the water carefully, then shook his head.
“I don’t see any fish,” he told us, turning his head to look at us.
“Yeah, I don’t think there are any in there,” Rooney said, puckering up her lips.
God, the more I looked at her, the more intense my dick twitched.
I couldn’t focus on her though, seeing as Ira was right here with us and I didn’t wanna take any of my attention from him.
But anything Rooney did or said, even if it was the littlest gesture or movement, I wanted to pull her to me and kiss her deeper than I ever had.
She was slowly taking over my mind, but, hell…I did not fucking care.
We spent the rest of the afternoon in that beautiful place without anyone bothering us, and when Ira told me he was getting tired, it was time for us to pack our things and go.
When we arrived home, Rooney told me that she’d be right back to get some of her things to sleep at my place while I gave Ira a quick bath and put on his pajamas.
“Splash! Now you’re wet, Daddy!” Ira grinned, pointing at my shirt.
I laughed and shook my head. “It’s you who needs a bath, buddy, not me. Come on, turn around so I can wash your hair.”
I used a little bit of his shampoo and massaged it into his hair gently while he let his two action figures fall into the water by holding them high up in the air.
“Do you remember what Dr. Cole said yesterday about the new pump, Ira?” I asked.
“No,” he replied.
I didn’t expect him to though.
“Dr. Cole said that they’ll soon have a new pump which will be a little bit bigger than the one you have now.”
“Bigger?” he asked, scrunching up his nose and turning his head to look at me.
“Yes, just a little bit. And since it’s new, you’ll be one of the first to try it,” I explained.
His lips were parted as he took everything in that I said.
It was easy for him to understand things, but he took a while to make sure he would now remember what I was telling him.
“But as I said, it’s a little bigger than the one you have now, so it might be a little heavier and you’d have to get used to it while playing and running around,” I told him.
He nodded to let me know he understood, but soon after he shook his head. “I don’t want a new
