Dauntless life (sequel to Tris Pedrad)

Chapter 5

I wake up and notice I'm not in my bed and remember that I fell asleep on the beanbag.

"Hey sweetie," mom says

"Hi mom what time is it?" I ask.

"Around 1:30," mom says grabbing some socks the boys left off the ground.

"Why did you let me sleep so late?" I ask.

"Well I thought you'd want as much sleep as you want for you party tonight," mom says.

"Well thanks," I say and head to the kitchen

"We got you some cake," mom says.

"Ooh yay!" I squeal and run to the kitchen. I hear my mom chuckle at my actions.

"Claire can I have some?" I hear Jackson ask.

"Sure buddy," I say and set him on the counter and give him a bite.

"Nummy," he says.

"It is," I say.

"You leave tonight?" He asks me.

"Just for a couple hours. How about when I get home I go in you room and sleep there. Like a little sleep over," I say.

"Ya ya," he says with excitement.

"You've got to make sure your room is ready," I say setting him down.

"Otay," he says and runs off to his room.

"Someone is excited," dad says coming into the kitchen.

"I said I'll have a sleep over with him once I get home from the party," I say eating some cake.

"That's nice of you," he says eyeballing the cake.

"Dad you are 28 not a child anymore stop eyeballing the cake," I say

"That doesn't mean i can't love it," he says

"But your old we can't love the same thing," I say.

"I'm not that old," he says.

"You have 5 children and one on the way," I say.

"That doesn't mean I'm old," dad says.

"Well you are," I say and eat the last bite of cake 

"Your lucky your my daughter and didn't give me a bite of cake," he says and kisses my head and I leave the living room and play games on my phone for awhile. It's soon 3:15 so I text Blake before I head over to their house.
