uninvited guest

“Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!”

Uninvited, that was how the guest announced his presence as he entered my office. But my eyes remained glued to my computer. Dissatisfied that I was not paying him the attention that he demanded, he walked towards me, touched my arm and started whirling the desk chair I was sitting in.

And just as I started to show interest in him, he moved away from me. He then stood mumbling in the middle of the space. As he looked and pointed at the things around he would turn towards me to check if I was following all of his gazes and points.

My eyes followed him till he slid behind the door next to the boxes and disappeared from my angle of sight. But I could still hear him calling my name in a voice that completely tugged at my heart. That was when I could no longer contain myself.

I rushed over behind the door, hugged him and started smothering him with sniffs and kisses. He was simply irresistible.

Sigh, my daily sniffing addiction… my nephew.
