The Single Parent Life

Nova POV

So it's been a couple of weeks since Trey and I dated, and things have been really good between us. we have gone on two more dates. and on my lunch breaks some days he stops by and we eat in one of our cars. 

he's so sweet and understanding, and he is always asking about Jayden and just showing interest in him. and that makes me so happy. I even told Jayden that my new friend is a guy and his name is Trey.

Jayden keeps asking when he will meet him. as he has never really gotten to hang out with lots of guys. Sometimes Rayna's dad will take him out for ice cream. and Jayden just loves that time.

I have been holding off on Trey meeting Jayden for a while, as I didn't want Jayden to get attached. but I know they will have to meet sooner or later. I will have to talk to Trey and see what he thinks because I want us both to be on the same page.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by my phone ringing. it was Trey speaking of the devil.

"hey you" I answered the phone.

"hey what are you doing?" he questioned.

"not much i am just getting ready to make Jayden and I diner" I informed him.

"sounds cool, what are you making?" he asked.

"fried chicken and macaroni," I tell him.

"well that sounds good," he says.

"so can I ask you something?" I was hesitant about what I was going to ask.

"sure" he responded.

"would you like to come over for dinner and meet Jayden, well officially anyway that is" I can't believe that I finally asked him.

"alright sounds like fun, see you in like what half an hour?" he questioned.

"oh um sure" I didn't expect him to react so casually.

"Perfect I am just leaving work," he tells me.

"alright well see you then" I was still in shock. it was happening, Jayden was going to meet Trey.

we said our goodbyes and then hung up the phone.

"Jayden" I called out to him.

"ya mama" he walked into the kitchen with a big smile.

"so you know mommy's friend Trey" I started.

he just nodded, and I continued. "well he's coming over for dinner tonight. so we need to be on our best behaviour" I informed him.

"Okay mama, I help with diner?" he smiled.

"of course" I nodded and grabbed his little stool. we washed our hands and then started to get to work.

Jayden loves helping me in the kitchen, whether it be just stirring the pot or adding things to it. so I let him help me all the time.

"is Trey's boyfriend mama?" Jayden just all of a sudden asked.

I stopped to look at him, how did he know what a boyfriend was?
