Love Song

Action

I walked along the side walk, inching my way closer and closer to the park. I kept the doll at my side, holding him up, then in my other hand, I held the supplies and items that were needed to maintain the baby.

I wore my dark skinny jeans with a flowing cream belly shirt top, but I wore my dark blue jean jacket over it, so I won't be so exposed to Jesse's eyes. I was hoping to hang out with Harry after my little meet with Jesse, so I dressed up like this. I passed all the shaded trees until my face was hit with the rays of the sun.

The park only had a few kids, then had its usual small gardens, but the fountain in the center absolutely made the park even more of a gorgeous view for a photo.

I was at Sham Ginger Park, and I was ready to meet Jesse. I walked up to one of the already open gates, and with that big brick wall not giving me any access to see Jesse, my heart jumped as his head popped up from behind the wall. The baby started to cry, and I didn't even know why, because it wasn't even a loud sound, but I tumbled back at Jesse's scare, as the doll screamed.

"Oh my gosh," I read his lips, not being able to hear him over the crying.

"Yes, this is what you've been missing," I told him, and passed him the screeching baby, then walked into the park without another word.

I was pretty sure he wouldn't be able to handle the child now, so I decided to let him have a turn while we're in the park. I felt his presence beside me, as Jesse started to bounce the baby up and down. How could he possibly know how to deal with a baby?

"It's okay, Mikey," he told the child, and I became confused as we continued to walk, but I was guiding us to a bench.

I shifted my eyes to him, then back, seeing how well he actually was doing with the baby, but why did he call it Mikey? I didn't remember Mrs. Garquel giving us names for the child.

"Hey, let's go by that shade, the big tree over there, so the baby won't complain, and cry out again," Jesse told me the reason and where, as he held the baby then pointed towards this huge tree.

I agreed, and we started to stroll our way to the huge tree that seemed to almost lean against the long gated fence.

I didn't know who Jesse was anymore ever since he acted like he cared, but at the same time, I was scared it was trap.

The shade had enveloped my body before I even touched the trunk of the tree, and I heard the crunching of grass behind me, hinting that Jesse was with me. I placed down the baby bag without a problem, as Jesse acted like he was playing with the baby. He kissed all over the doll's face, and what I didn't know the baby could do is that it giggled. It was literally laughing. I thought about what Mrs. Garquel said about people changing their whole personality and the way they act when they have kids. However, I doubt that's what was happening now.

I felt the cool grass through my jeans, as I settled myself down to relax. I closed my eyes only once, then opened them again to see Jesse bringing the doll up and down as if it was real, then the child only started to cry at a lower level.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry, Mikey...it's alright," he started to bounce the child in his arms, and calmed it down, but the level of crying increased, but I didn't understand why it would increase when you bounced the doll.

"Oh, I see," Jesse said, brushing his fingers through his blonde hair, then sitting down against the trunk beside me as he placed down the baby on his back. I studied Jesse's every move as the baby's level of crying decreased once, as Jesse tore off the diaper. I was still surprised at his actions, as I saw a yellow soak of liquid or so called pee in the diaper.

"Can you pass a diaper?" Jesse asked, looking genuinely in my eyes, but I was still so curious of what interest he carried in this project.

I was frozen, but I looked to the baby bag, pulling out a diaper that stuck out at the side of the bag.
