Luke's POV
My phone rang, the word 'Joyous Hood' flashing in the screen. I quickly picked it up. 'Hello?'
'Uh hello Luke. I was wondering if you could take care of Calum today, David and I have some event to attend to.' Joy said almost sounding worried.
'Yeah! No problem. I'll be there at 10.' I said and hanged up. I quickly put on my shoes, already dressed. I grabbed my phone and wallet before heading downstairs. 'Luke, where are you going?' Mum asked. 'Babysitting.' I said and she grinned from ear to ear I'm surprise her face didn't rip.
'Aww! Its mama's boy first day at work.' Ben said and faked cried. The two of them laughed, high fiving each other.
'Shut up if you don't want me to feed you Calum's poop.' I said and smirked going out.
I knocked on the door twice and Joy let me in.
'I'm sorry for bothering you Luke but its really an important event and we can't miss it.' Joy said.
'Its alright. Just tell me what to do.' I said. 'Calum is taking a nap now, wake him up by 4:30. Dinner should be serve at 6:00 and he should be asleep by nine. There's a money on the kitchen stall for emergency. That's all.' She said. I nodded and bid them goodbye.
I quickly go upstairs to Calum's room. He was sleeping peacefully in his bed and I just want to jump him and pinch the s**t out of the kid.
I walked to him and shook him gently. 'Cally, its time to wake up.' I said softly, running a hand in his hair.
'No! Sleep more..' He said eyes still closed. 'Don't you want to play with Lukey?' I said pouting making him pout to.
'Fine! Just becosh I want to play.' He said and sit up. I smiled and carry him spinning him round and round. 'There you go! So you won't feel sleepy.' I said and his laugh filled the room.
'Shtap! I get it!' He giggled. 'Really? I don't think so.' I said and laid him on the bed tickling him. His high pitched laughter and giggles made my mood brighten up.
After we're done he was catching his breath and still giggling softly. 'Come on! Let's have some snack! What do you want to eat?' I said.
'Shandwich.' He giggled.

He was done eating the grilled cheese I made and he wants to play hide and seek. 'Where are you Calum? You can't hide from me forever.' I said already knowing where he is as I can see his small feet under the table. 'Are you behind the door?' I said hoping he'll giggle but got nothing. Wise kid.
I walked up to the table and suddenly pulling one of the chairs and looking down. 'There you are!' I said and he shrieked. He suddenly laughed and crawled out laughing all the time.
'Water break. Come on.' I said and carry him to the kitchen, putting him down in the stall. I got a glass and pour myself water. I drank the water looking at him wiggling my eyebrows. He pouted.
'Lukey! Me!' He said and I gave him the empty glass. His eyes suddenly got watery and I laughed pouring him water. He suddenly got happy and looks like he's about to jump in joy.
I swear, when this kid grow up. He'll be bipolar.

Its finally bed time and Calum was laying in his bed surrounded by stuffed toys. 'Lukey! Where is my goodnight kish?' He said and my eyebrows raised.
'You made me picked all your toys up, do you think you deserve a kiss?' I teased. 'But mama and papa always picked my toys up but still kish me goodnight.' He said pouting, jutting his bottom lip out.
'But I'm not your papa. Definitely not your mama.' I teased again. 'Who said so? Your not my mama nor my papa, you're my daddy. Now kish.' He said grinning.
My eyes widened. I kissed him good night and turned the lights off. Sitting down at the chair beside his bed.
I swear, this kid, will be the death of me.
