He's smiling at me, and I quietly ask him what the smile is for.

He shakes his head still smiling. This time I stifle a giggle, trying not to wake up JR. I ask him again, "What?"

By the way, he has a jaw-dropping smile, and BEAUTIFUL dark brown eyes, anyway.

He finally says, "you're going to be a great wife and mother one day, your future husband is lucky."

I smiled and I know I was blushing. I tell him 'Thanks, your ex wife is crazy for leaving you. Any real woman would treat you like a king.' Or something along those lines.

He smiles, and simply replies, "thanks."

It was quiet for a few minutes, it looked he was deep in thought, so I asked what he was thinking about. He said he was worried that his ex wouldn't sign the divorce papers unless he gave her full custody of their son, that she had been refusing to sign the papers ever since he had went to a divorce attorney and had her served. (Keep in mind she had already moved in with her 'mr' and has lived with him since she gave birth to his 1st son). He continues on with his worries and fears, pretty much along the lines of he only gets him every other week and it's just for a day or two... worried that she'll take JR away from him and keep him away.

I just gave the best advice I could. (I don't remember exactly what I said so I won't include that)

Fast forward a few days, and he texts me saying that he has court or had to meet with his lawyer that afternoon, and that she has finally agreed to sign the papers and shit, asks me if I'll watch his son since he'll have him and didn't have time to find someone to watch him since it was last minute, and that he'd only be in class for the first 5-10 minutes then a sub would take over. (It was in the middle of lunch.. (He's an only child, his closest relative lived about 4 hours away and was on their honeymoon, vacation or some shit, his mother was in a nursing home (she had some serious degenerative nerve issue (may she Rest In Peace), and his father died when he(Ben) was in his early 20's from a horrific work accident, so he really didn't have anyone to watch him))

We worked out the details, he said that he'll pick his son up from daycare, and drop him off at my house around 3. (I texted my sister and told her that I'll be watching my friends son again, she said ok.) when I got home, I did my homework while keeping JR busy (I think I just turned on cartoons).

My sister comes in my room and asks 'don't you think he's a bit old for you, he's cute... but if that's what you're into then who am I to judge.' I think I did a laughing scoff and told her to shut the fuck up.

It was around 5 (I think) and JR was getting fussy, so I rummaged through his daycare bag , and grab him his snacks. Feed him. (By the way, JR is a MESSY eater, I think he had more on him than he ate.) anyway, I get him some fresh clothes and a diaper, and start drawing him a bath, let him play a little.. you know normal shit youngins' do during bath time.

My sister comes to the bathroom and tells me 'my friend' was there. I told her ok and start washing JR.

You wanna know what this bitch did! I heard her from the living room tell him that I'm giving JR a bath and that he should see if I need help. Fucking bitch!!! Anyway, I seen him peer around the bathroom door, and what do you know... he has the stupid gorgeous smile plastered on his face. I quickly turn my head(I was blushing... hard and didn't want him to see) and finish rinsing JR off, get him out dry him off, get him dressed, and take him to the living room.
My sister picks JR up and starts playing around with him a little while I get JR's things together, (my nephew was asleep in her room) and I (instinctively) took him from her and grabbed his bag and took him to Ben's truck, handed him to Ben, climbed in and reached for JR.
The whole time I'm getting JR ready to go, Ben tells me 'you don't have to do this, you've done enough already by watching him.' I told him, 'it's no big deal, what are friends for' he hands him to me and I strap him in.

He casually asks me if I've eaten and I tell him 'not yet my sister's getting ready to' or what ever I fucking said. He then asks if I would like to go over to his place and share a meal. (For reference I'm facing the house and I could see my sister with her head barley poking out the door, clearly eavesdropping, raising her eyebrows up down.) I did my best to ignore her. I told him that I didn't want to leave my sister to eat alone, but the dumb bitch not trying to hide that she was eavesdropping anymore and blurted out 'I'm perfectly fine dinning alone tonight go have some fun... emphasis on fun,'
Ben turns his head looking at her and I peered my head around him, and defensively retort ''It's not like that dumbass, we're friends." (I remember rolling my eyes, clearly annoyed with her.) Plus she kinda embarrassed me. Ok not kinda... a lot.

I can see that he's slightly embarrassed as well. So it kinda made me feel better.

I told her 'I thought you didn't want to be alone tonight?' Or 'I thought you said you wanted me to eat with you.' Anyway it was one of the two.

This bitch I swear!!! Know what she said? She fucking said... and I quote "I changed my mind, I want to eat alone." Stupid lying cunt.

Side note: I love my siblings very much, I'd lay my life down for them. All of them.

Right as I was telling Ben that I wasn't hungry, my fucking stomach growls. Loud. Fucking traitor. Normally it doesn't growl THAT loud.

His face had a serious 'Did you just lie to my face..." then he casually grinned... "Best friends don't lie to each other."

Fuck.. he's got me there. Next thing I knew my dumb sister said "yea Charlise." And pops her head back in the house closing the door.

At this point I'm trying to get out of going to his house, not because I didn't want to hang out with him, but because I maxed out my hours of work that week and had to spend my money wisely. Gas, clothes, monthly necessities... stupid shit.

I eventually told him why, and he says I can ride with him. I finally agree, and I go inside and get my phone, wallet, and keys since my sister locks her door before she goes to bed. (She normally goes to bed around 10... ish)

As we're driving off, dumbass text me

Eileen: have fun biiiitch, just don't get pregnant.
Me: 🖕🏼cunt

For a little bit the ride was silent. Right as I was about to apologize for my sister, he says "Well she's something else."

I, being me just say what's on my brain casually said, "yea no shit." I apologize because his child was in the back, but he just laughs. Which caused me to laugh.

We get to his house (he lives about 20 minutes from my sisters house) He gets out and goes to unlock the front door while I got JR. He's in the kitchen getting stuff out to make food, and I'm upstairs in JR's room grabbing a few toys to bring down to the living room. I start keeping him busy.

About 6... maybe 6:30, the food is ready and see him pulling the high chair to the table. I walk with JR to the kitchen, and Ben is bending down to pick him up. JR doesn't even acknowledge him and turn to me with his arms up. I picked him up and put him in his seat. Mr. Dawson tells me. "You're really good with kids." I told him more about how I had to care for my younger siblings, (I have 6 younger siblings, one I've never met because my sperm donor can't keep it in his pants)
