CHAPTER 6
Elizabeth's POV
I was munching on my strawberries and pieces of apple while daddy was yelling at someone on the phone.
Purple was covering my ears with his hands so that I wouldn't hear what daddy said. Even though I couldn't hear I could tell that daddy was using bad words. And it was scary to look at.
His fists were clenched and he was pressing the words out, jaw clenched so much that it hurt to even look at.
If we were in a cartoon then steam would be blowing out of his ears. I giggled, trying to imagine that.
Daddy's yelling stopped abruptly and he looked at me with so much adoration, anger long gone from his face.
He said some more words into the phone and then ended the call, pressing the phone into his pocket.
He came towards where me and purple were and scooped me up into his arms.
I shrinked back being cautious just in case he was still angry.
Daddy only tightened his grip on me so that I was mushed onto his toned chest. He nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck and it tickled!
For those who didn't know I'm very ticklish.
I giggled again and tried to push him away but it only made him more determined to snuggle into my neck.
“Nooo… stop it.” I whined a little because it was torture for my little neck - too much tickling!
Daddy froze and then very slowly raised his head to look at me.
I flinched when our eyes met because I could see that he was angry. His grip on me tightened and his eyes narrowed.
“Did you just say no to me, little girl?”
I gasped a little and then quickly shook my head.
“It just tickled, daddy!”
I looked down at my hands, playing with my fingers.
Daddy sighed and gave me a kissy on my head.
“I'm sorry baby, I'm not mad at you.”
I peeked up at him through my lashes and saw that he was looking at me sadly which confirmed that he really was sorry.
Smiling shyly I leaned up a bit and quickly gave daddy a kissy on his cheek before hiding myself into his neck.
He cooed at me.
“What if we go back upstairs now baby? You can go back to sleep, how about that?”
“Yes daddy.” I whispered quietly, my face still mushed into the side of his neck.
Daddy hummed and began walking out of the kitchen.
“Hey! What about me?” Purple whined and when I raised my head to look at him I saw that he was pouting and making puppy eyes, his blue eyes widening adorably. I swear no one could resist eyes like those so I started squirming around on daddy's hip.
“You better stop that before you fall, baby girl.” Daddy said sternly, trying to hold me in place.
It didn't faze me. I wanted to go and hug purple because I don't like when people I know are sad.
“Stop it little one.”
“No, I wanna get down.”
Daddy narrowed his eyes but let me down. As soon as his arms weren't holding me tightly, I ran.
Purple nearly fell over with the force I jumped on him but he still managed to catch me and stay standing.
I clinged onto him not wanting to fall.
“Don't be sad purple, I don't like when you're sad.”
We heard a growl before I was ripped out of his embrace and pressed onto daddy's chest. His grip was very tight as he was looking at purple with a murderous glint in his eyes. Daddy was breathing harshly and making growl-like noises.
“D-daddy?” I whispered, on the verge of tears by now.
He turned his murderous gaze to me and I flinched back as much as I could considering the fact that he was still pressing me to his chest.
His eyes softened and he leaned towards me, looking guilty.
“I'm sorry baby, I-I can't seem to control it when it comes to you but daddy will try okay?”
I whimpered quietly as a few lone tears made their way down my cheeks.
Daddy's eyes widened in horror and he rushed upstairs, cooing at me and gently pushing my face into his neck.
The next thing you know we were in his bedroom half-sitting half-laying on the bed. Well, he was on the bed and I was on him.
His hands were rubbing my back as he shushed me gently. I could feel his hands shaking a bit.
I craned my neck to look up at him and he bit his lip when he saw my tear-stained face.
“How about we watch a movie, hmm? What do you think little one, would you like to?”
“Okay daddy.” I mumbled into his shirt, peeking up at him.
Daddy reached into the nightstand’s drawer and pulled out a remote.
I gasped.
We can watch the movie and still be in bed?! Holy munchkin!
He chuckled and pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear so that it wasn't in my face anymore.
“So what would you like to watch then, my little baby?”
“The one where there's Jack Frost and the Toothfairy and Santa and-”
“Okay okay, I got it. Calm down now.”
“Sowwy daddy.”
“It's alright.” He said before kissing the top of my head and then pressing play so that the movie began.
Daddy was still sitting with his back leaning onto the headboard of the bed but I was now situated between his feet with my back to his chest.
I don't think he really watched the movie though because he was either playing with my hair or nuzzling my neck all the time.
It didn't particularly distract me from watching my movie so I let him. It felt nice too.
When the movie ended I was happy because the good ones won but now I was kinda scared to go to sleep.
“Okay it's bedtime now, baby.”
“Nuuu I can't, I don't wanna.”
“And why not?” Daddy asked me with a brow raised.
“What if the bad man comes and gives me nightmares and then-”
“Don't worry about that, little one. Daddy will always protect you.”
“Always?”
“Always.”
“Do you pwomise?”
“Yes, I promise that I will always protect my little baby. Now go to sleep.”
“Night - night daddy.”
“Night - night princess.” Was all I heard as I snuggled more into his warmth and the darkness finally took over.
