Baby Blues and Mummy Hots
Hey there! Thanks for checking out my drabble. If you’re new here, a drabble is a story of 100 words. Take time to read, highlight, and share your thoughts in the comments. Enjoy!
Today’s random word: Selected
Setup: “You can do anything, anywhere, anytime ever, but only for five minutes”
“She’s asleep,” Benny sighs, closing the nursery door behind him.
“Come here, baby,” Eliza says from the couch.
Benny yawns into her embrace. “Thank you. We might have all but five sane minutes.”
“I know a couple of things we could do,” she purrs.
“You don’t mean that.”
“C’mon. I’ve missed you.”
“Sure. Let’s do it your way then.”
“Hide and seek?” She squeals. “Ooh. I love the game you selected.”
“I’ll count. You hide.”
“Come get me, tiger...rawr,” she whispers, sprinting away.
“1…2…”
When the bedroom door shuts, Benny slides into the closet for five minutes of uninterrupted sleep.
