Jasmine's POV

“ I miss daddy” Luca says

My entire body freezes

Damn you Sal!

“ I know baby. I miss him too” I say in a shaky voice

“ Are we going to visit him soon?” Luca asks in a small sad voice

After my parents threw me out, I moved in with Sal. He surprisingly had a big house, well nothing too big. It was cozy and felt like home. We were happy at least five days a week and to be honest, that was enough. Sal was enough. His parents never liked me, well I never met them. Sal was an adopted child and he moved out after highschool. He got his degree and shit hit the fan. He got a lot of tattoos and became quiet sneaky but he told me it was nothing, that he was doing what he had to do to provide for me and our unborn son.

After Lucas was born, Sal became too engrossed in his work. He was barely at home. But Everytime he was home, he'd make sure to spend quality time with us. Fast forward, after Lucas turned two, Sal became worse. He started drinking and smoking, and got violent most of the times. He was later declared dead after a fetal accident. His body  had so many burns we couldn't even make out his face. And now, he lay six feet under. His family seized every penny Sal made and took the house. I ran away when they t-

“ Mommy can we see him this week please” Luca says with his voice barely above a whisper

“ Yes bear we'll visit daddy this weekend” I place Luca on my laps and ran my hands through his curls. I hum a song as Luca slowly drifts to sleep. I place him on the bed and pull the covers over him. I kiss his forehead and and exit the room after dimming the lights.

I make my way to my room, grab some clean clothes and make a U-turn to the bathroom. I strip and get in the shower. Sighing, I grab my shampoo and start washing my hair. I wonder how life would have been like if Sal was still alive. Would he have finally let me meet his family? I miss cuddling with him tracing his tattoos as he told me about his day. The grey eyes that always hypnotized me. The way he'd pronounce my name, his hands

The same hands that hit you

I need to get my shit together. I make my way to my room and set an alarm for 6am. I get under the covers ready to relax after such a tiring day. I close my heavy eye lids and drift away.

*...*...*...*...*...*...*...*

I wake up to the sound of my alarm. Groaning, I get out of bed and head to the bathroom. After doing my morning business, I make my way to Luca's room. I pull the covers off Luca and he whines and goes back to sleep.

“ Bear wake up” I gently shake him. He opens his eyes and I give his face kisses. God his so cute. I pull him out of bed and carry him to the bathroom

“ mommy I'll get ready by myself go get dressed” Luca says as he unbuttons his PJs.

“ when did you start getting ready by yourself bear” I ask with amusement lacing my voice

“ I'm a big boy mommy” Luca rolls his eyes and gets in the bathtub

“ Of course you are bear but who's gonna wash your back hmm?” I ask with a little chuckle as he pouts

“ Fine. You can stay this once” he says crossing his hands

I let out a little laugh and he glares at me. I quickly wash his hair and and his body then grab a towel for him. I go back to his room for clothes as he brushes his teeth. After getting Luca ready, I make him a bowl of cereal and go to my room to get ready.

I get dressed in a black knee length pencil skirt and a baby blue button up shirt. I pull my grey curls in a high ponytail and apply minimal make-up, which is mascara and lipgloss. I put on my black heels, grab my bag and phone and make my way to the kitchen.

“ You wook pwetty mommy” Luca says with a mouthful. Chuckling, I kiss his head before replying

“ Thanks bear” 

I munch on an apple as I wait for Luca to finish with his breakfast. After he's done, I drop him off at miss Jones apartment and hail a cub to my interview

This is it
