3 That always works

Vic sighed, putting his shoes into the shoe cabinet before throwing himself onto the couch. Meghan giggled, stroking his hair gently.

"Just finish your work?" she asked.

"Hmm…" was all his reply.

"Tired?" she asked again. He pulled the tie off him.

"Hmm…" he answered.

"How was the meeting?" she asked, taking the tie from him.

"They gave me a weird look when I arrived…" he mumbled, reaching the fruit from the table, rubbing the apple to his sweaty shirt before taking a bite.

"Eww… give me that one. I'll wash it for you," she wanted to grab the apple but he didn't want to move from her comfort laps.

"I'm tired…" he moaned tiredly. She chuckled, taking one grape and plopped into his mouth.

"I know…" She fed him the grape one by one while he struggled not to fall asleep.

"Just sleep. I won't move," she whispered, noticing his sleepy face. Slowly he closed his eyes with his head on her laps. She smiled, caressing his hair as to make his sleeping better while continuing watching the television.

..........................................

Night finally arrived. Vic walked out from his room, only in his red shorts and white shirt, rubbing his wet hair with a towel. It's time for him to prepare the dinner. Meghan was still in her room, napping.

He was beating the eggs when she approached him, hugging her favourite teddy bear, yawning.

"What's the food for tonight?" she asked sleepily, landing her head on the table before dozing again. Vic chuckled, just continuing cooking.

"Meghan, wake up," he said, shaking her shoulder a bit. She stirred a bit before nodding sleepily.

"I'm awake… I'm awake…" she mumbled, adjusting her head so that she can sleep comfortably. He chuckled, pulling the teddy bear from her hands. She automatically lifted her face up, looking at him, pulling a long face. He laughed, giving back her teddy bear. That always works.

"Go wash your face, so ugly with the saliva dripping from your mouth," he ordered. She pouted, hugging the teddy bear closely, walking to the bathroom. He chuckled, shaking his head. Even until now, she is still the little girl he knew, the little girl who always running to him after he saved her from the bullies when he first met her.
