A promise: That changed my life

Daniel

"Hey! I am gonna win!" I blurted out, excitedly as I was almost near to crossing the winning line in the video game but before that my nephew Jason took over my car, finishing the line.

"No!" 

"Yes!! I won, Uncle dan!" He yelled in my ears, "This is the tenth time I won in the row!" He added, putting salt on my wounds.

"Don't be so happy, I have won this game many times, okay? I just let my little nephew win this time, " I stated in an attempt to cover my embarrassment of losing the game from a 6-year-old child.

He rolled his eyes, "Nope! You are just covering up, Uncle dan, "

"No, I am not, "

"Yes, you are!"

I showed my tongue at him, annoyingly, "I said, I am not!"

He also showed me his tongue when I called his mom to slash my sister, "Elle, your son has forgotten the manners, he is showing me his tongue, " I fake a complaint with a smirk, she came out from the kitchen, irritated.

"Jason, this is bad manners! Say sorry to him, " She ordered him, he looked at me angrily as I was silently laughing at him.

"Right now!"

"I am sorry, " With that, he went to his room, poor kid. And yes, you can give me all the credit for being a big bad Uncle.

"I am also sorry from his side, he's exactly like his father, " Elle said, sighing over him.

I mentally chuckled, "It's fine, Sis, "

When my phone rang in my jeans with an unknown number flashing over the screen, "I think you have to answer to see who's calling you, " Elle spoke, looking at my phone, I gave her a small nod, answering the call. As she went back to the kitchen.

it sound usual, he was happy for a moment but when I tried to take her topic out, I felt him getting pissed already, Shit! I screw it! And don't ask how many yells he threw at me if I was there in front of me, he must have killed me to death by now when I finally said her name but suddenly he finished his last line with, "Danny, If you are really craving that
