Three weeks go by slow as molasses. I've realize through these weeks that being a single parent is hard. It's not that Taye doesn't co-parent it's just that I have Walker for the bulk of the time and it's difficult. I somehow muddle through by taking life one day at a time every new adventure I take in stride every lesson my beautiful baby boy teaches me I take to heart. Life is tough but I know I can get through this. I just hope I don't end up alone forever.
I'm interrupted from my thoughts while hearing James last few words until I have to sing my line in 'here I go'. As he sings I can't help but notice his chocolate brown eyes and the way they light up while doing what he loves. His smile as I return my verse. All the sudden I feel my heart skip a beat as he leans in to stage kiss me. These were the feelings I used to feel towards Taye back when we were in RENT and just starting our roller coaster and ultimately crash and burn relationship. I try to push the feelings aside knowing that he's married. I'm acting foolish it's never gonna happen I just have to let these childish feelings dissipate into the clouds I tell myself over and over trying to get myself to believe it.
We all take our bows. I make my way to my dressing room. I find in my path none other than James. His smile makes me melt. His arms are outstretched I melt into his embrace. He smells of cologne and not the shitty kind that teenage boys excessively use to attract girls. His cologne is an inviting one. the hug lasts about another half a second "great job out there today Dee," he says smiling at me again
"Aww thanks James you weren't shabby yourself," I remark.smiling.
I quickly get to my dressing room a smile still lingering. It was the first true smile that I'd had in months it felt so good to be genuinely content with life even for an instant. As I gaze around my dressing room I see a big beautiful bouquet of pink peonies on my makeup counter next to them was some candies and a little note card 'Idina,' it read Roses are red peonies are pink if you didn't meet me out on stage after the show tonight it'd really stink' I almost laugh at the utter cheesiness of the note but think about what it says. Someone wants to meet me out on the stage after tonight's show? Who could it be?
The entire second show I remaine unfocused on my acting and singing and more on what lie in store for the night.
When we exit the stage I make a b line to my dressing room. On my couch lie a new dress along with a new jewelry set and shoes to match. The little note card on it says 'you're beautiful with or without fancy things but wear this to our meeting on the stage tonight' I smile and begin curling my hair and touching up my makeup. Once I become satisfied with my appearance I slip into the dress. it hugs my body in all the right places and makes me feel like a goddess. the jewelry only adds to the beauty I feel. I sigh as I look at myself it's been a long time since I felt this amazing.
I open the door to the dressing room and walk out to stage left as I walk out into the bright stage lights I see James sitting there on a picnic blanket with a bottle of wine in a tux there are a few small candles lit around him. "James what is all this?" I ask him half confused half excited.
"Consider it a date," he smiles.
"A what?" I ask him I knew what he said I just needed to hear him say the word again to make sure that I didn't need to pinch myself.
"You know two people, romantic setting,..." he replies
"I know what a date is," I laugh. "I just didn't know that's what this was," I begin to feel my cheeks flush.
I sit down next to him and sip the wine. "How'd you know this ones my favorite,"
"Your mom," He says shyly. "You know there's something that I want to talk to you about,"
I look into his deep brown eyes. "what is it?"
"Idina, over these past few weeks I've developed.... feelings for you feelings that I can't begin to describe my hands get sweaty my cheeks flush my heart flutters it's the way I used to feel about Jackie," He says my heart stops.
"James... Ive been feeling the same but your with someone and I'm just coming out of a bad marriage I don't know how we'd be able to make it work." I say nervously I want to be with him so bad I don't want to sound desperate.
"I know that we both have baggage but we can work through that....Jackie and just broke up anyways she cheated on me," James admits
"James I'm sorry,"
"Don't be...the spark wasn't there anymore, please give us a chance I promise I'll never hurt you the way Taye did. I'll be a shoulder for you to cry on, I'll always be there for you trust me," he says
I feel overwhelmed my head begins spinning do I take a chance on a guy I really like and end up being heart broken or watch him pick up any other girl he wants and wonder what might've been. My heart yes yes but my mind says no I let my heart take this one "Okay I just want to start off slow let's not rush things," I answer
"Idina I love you more than anything," he says
"I love you more James," I close my eyes as he kisses me gently he touches me as if I'm glass I feel so lucky and happy.
A/N: Hey loves, I'm so sorry I've been away I've been grounded lately so I haven't been able to work on this cause part of being grounded for me is having no phone or iPad until I'm let off. I hope you enjoy our first real Jadina chapter 💕
