Jevan's POV 🎉.
After I'm done with my shift for today ,l headed towards home in my car, not forgetting to buy two cartons of Nathan's favorite Vanilla and Chocolate ice cream tubs from Flora ice cream parlor,"Hm!, my little boy is a sweet tooth,he's gonna scream like crazy when he sees this", wondering as I shook my hand and grinned. I also bought some groceries from the grocery shop on my way home.

As soon as I entered,I went straight to my room upstairs and took a warm shower ,got dressed and sent all the groceries to the kitchen.
"Good evening sir", Marietta , the one whom my sister hired to babysit Nathan greeted as I entered the kitchen and approached her. "Good evening where's Nathan? I asked as I put all the groceries on top of the counter and started to arrange it as to where it should be in their respective positions.
"He's playing in his room sir" , she responded as she turned away from the burner to face me . She was probably making dinner. "Madame said I should let you know that she'll be having a late night shift so she won't be able to make it tonight", she added. "Alright I'll call her anyway", I said.
"Umm..can I help you with that, sir"? She asked pointing a finger at my direction.
"Oh thanks for asking but I think I can handle these ,don't you worry, just continue with the cooking , alright?" I said calmly.
In less than two minutes , I'm done with the arrangements,took one carton of Vanilla ice cream and started to head towards Nathan's room, upstairs. "Just in case, I'll be in Nathan's room" , I said to her before leaving upstairs .
"KNOCK! "KNOCK!"
I knocked on Nathan's room door with the tub of his ice cream behind be so he can't see it yet or else he wouldn't take his
dinner.
"Who's at the door?" Nathan asked . "Clever boy, too smart for his age and he's just three years old."
" It's me little one", I responded.
" Uncle Jev,?".
"Yeah?".
"Yayyy!!", He exclaimed. Then he immediately opens the door wide enough for me to enter and run into my arms as I carried him probably happy to see me.
He giggled happily , wrapped his tiny hands around my neck and pulls his head to look at me in the face and I smiled at him and kissed his temple .
"Hey Jev how was work today?" he said as he smiles charmly showing of his prominent set of dimples on either side of his cheeks ."Adorable boy" Some people say he took those features from me".
"Work was good little one, what about you? How was school? I asked.
" School was great! I could say and write all my 26 alphabets and read all my rhymes and poems, I even shared my snacks with Elsie."he rumbles on and on
"Really?, that's good, give me a thumbs up" I said while I rose up my thumbs and he rose up his and connected it to mine. I ruffled his hair and put him gently on his bed. " Have you taken your dinner yet?", I asked. "No! I was waiting for you" he said as he took his writing book and started to write something more or less like scribbling.
" But weren't you hungry?".
"Nope! ,he said as he looked up at me and shook his head. "I'm hungry now that you are here".
"Me too , but you know, you don't have to wait for me all the time especially when you are hungry ,mm?" I asked him.
"Owkay... I will,he replied fiddling with his pencil.
"Very well let's go grab a bite downstairs", I said as I stretched my hands for him to take.
" Uncle? .
"Mm? .
"Did you get me an ice cream today?" He asked.
"What's up with this boy and ice cream?" .
"Of course, little one but you get to eat it only after you finish with dinner on time"
"Ok I promise I will" ,he said as we headed downstairs.
