"You ready, Linc and Jesse are outside now." Lisa called from the living room. Checking the mirror I did a double take. No longer were there sweat stains, baggy eyes, or food covering my body. No, it was replaced by natural looking makeup, a slight Smokey eye, concealer, a nice red sundress and white sandals. To be honest i looked like a 50's housewife, but I loved it. My natural hair was no longer than my shoulders and it framed my face in a complimentary way. 

Walking out the room I was greeted by Jesse playing with Rosalyn in his lap, making baby noises which caused a cascade of laughter to erupt from Rose. My heart warmed at the sight, giving me a glimpse of what life with Jesse could be. Pushing that feeling aside I stepped beside Lisa.

"There are bottles in the fridge, as well as baby food. Diapers can be found-"

"Baby we got this." Jesse said giving me a confident smile. I chuckled, he had no idea how hard it was to take care of a baby but he would soon find out. Nodding Lisa and I headed out the door and into her car.

"Okay, where are we going?" 

"Obviously we are going to get mani-pedi's. It's been so long since we've been out and I know you and I both need this; especially you." Lisa gave me a pointed look. She didn't have to tell me. I needed to relax badly. 

5 HOURS  LATER...

Arriving back at the house, Jesse lay on the couch sleep with Rosy covering his chest. Again that warm feeling spread throughout my body. He looked so content with her that it made me want to join, but I can't. I just can't get over the pain. Going through something as traumatic as a kidnapping, and knowing he's the one that caused it. I know he saved me and I'm thankful but that situation, fucked me up bad. Everywhere I go, I'm constantly looking over my shoulder to see if someone's going to pop up and attack me or Rosy. Fear is no joke. It takes hold of your body and destroys your resolve till it takes every part of you. You, yourself have to find a way to fight that fear till it no longer holds you.

Smiling, I walk to pick up Rosy from Jesse's arms, careful not to wake him or her. Successful, I lay Rosy down in her crib and walk back to wake Jesse. Shoving his shoulder, his eyes open and he smiles when he sees me.

"I put Rosy in her crib. You can leave now." He chuckles darkly. " Wow already kicking me out huh?"

"I don't know what you expect." I say walking into the kitchen, opening the fridge and grabbing a bottle of water. He stands up from the couch and follows me, resting on the counter, facing me.

"Baby we need to talk about Rosy, James, why you left... everything." His eyes are pleading with me to cooperate and so I do.

" Look Jesse, James is coming back so I bet you're happy about that. The way you beat him, I'd be surprised if he would even step within 5 feet of me." I say sorrow filling my voice. I actually liked James. He was stable, gave Rosy and I what we needed. 

" Then he's weak. If he really loved you he would have taken the beating, kicked me out afterwards, and comforted you or at least talked to you about our situation. A strong man would've done that... I would've done that." 

" James isn't weak, okay. Some people just can't accept situations." I say trying to fix James's image but who am I kidding. He was weak. He never gave me the feeling that Jesse does. Just one look from him and I'm putty. I want him 100x more that I wanted James. 

"He is weak and it's better you get that now. He could never treat better than I could. Nor could he make you feel good could he?" He steps closer to me, making me step back. "He could never quite scratch that itch could he. Never touch you the right way like I could. I know you remember, even if it was a year ago." My back hits the fridge, Jesse leans into my space. His face resting against my neck.

"How my hands felt on you. Roaming every inch of your body, every crevasse touched and nurtured with my hands. I bet he never worshipped you like I would." His hot breath tickled my ears, quickening my breathing to an embarrassing rate. His chuckle vibrated throughout my whole body.

"Look at you, your body is begging for my touch. I'm willing to give it to you, if only you'd let me." His lips travel from my ear to my neck and lower. It feels so good, each kiss sending off wave, after wave of pleasure. Reluctantly I push at his chest.

"You should go. I have work in the morning and Rosy has daycare." I say my breathe coming out husky and full of need.

He stares at me for a minutes, his eyes full of hunger and heat. "You sure you mean that?"

I nod and he grimaces the slightest before his stoic mask returns. All the heat and hunger, gone from his eyes as he breathes me in one last time and leaved my apartment.
