True love at last

Deep thoughts and late night talks

Zendayas POV

After tom left all i could think about was him. We got along at work and in our personal lives and like him. But I dont know if we should be together for multiple reasons. We work together and it would be awkward if we broke up and two, I dont want someone to enter Bella and I's life just to leave . That poor kid has been through with her dad being in and out of her life. This man doesn't know her birthday , her favorite color , not even things that she's interested in.  I know that Tom means well but im not sure im ready to put my walls down right now.

Im snapped out of my thoughts when Bella walked into my room and climbed into bed with me.
"Mama, do you like Tom?"
I choke on the air at the question. I really didn't expect that. I thought that she liked Tom just being my friend but clearly not.

" I don't know honey"
I answered honestly because I really wasn't sure . Ive been pushing the thought to the back of my mind because lately the only priorities I've had was my kid and my job.

" You and Tom should get together Mama. I mean you guys are perfect for each other. You seem so happy when you're with him. I like him for you."

She was right I felt like myself again when i was with him . He always brought a smile to my face even if i try to deny it and he was great with Isabella. They got along well and i can tell that they enjoy each other's company. They never had a dull moment together and he made her feel like she had a male figure in her life. It made me happy to know that she couldn't care less about what Trevor is up to because she had another person in her corner. Someone who actually cared and took time to learn about her and her interests.

"How about we talk about this later honey?"
And we left it at that . We both snuggled together for a moment and watch what was playing on my television.
"Hey bells?"
I asked my daughter.
"Mhmm?"
She replied back.
"Do you wanna do something fun?"
I asked in an excited tone.
"Sure"
she answered back.
"Ok lets go get dressed comfy"
Without saying anything else she climbed off my bed and went to get dressed. I decided that we should go to the store and get a few things to make a cake. Baking is something that Isabella is currently interested in and im going to support it .
I got dressed and walked into bellas room to see if she was ready to head out.

Isabella had made me so proud. She followed instructions and the outfit she put together matched.

"You ready to go munchkin?" I asked my baby . She didn't answer me just excitedly shook her head. She grabbed my hand and we head downstairs to go out.

In the car we listened to some songs until we got to Target.
I hoped out of the car and went to the next side to get izzy. "Let's go baby" i said as i unbuckled her seat belt.  Bella  started whining and asking if i could carry her . Normally i don't allow her to whine and cry over anything but she's my baby and someday im not gonna be able to lift her like this. So grabbed my baby and we head inside of target. We head straight for the baking isle and i let her choose the cake and icing flavor. Of course she choose red velvet cake because its her favorite and she also picked a cream cheese frosting to go on top and i knew she would probably eat more out of the container than on the actual cake.
After we picked up some other necessities we checked and left.
When we arrived home we immediately started baking the cake . Like i said she ate lots of the frosting . We watched a movie whilst the cake baked. About twenty minutes later the timer went off letting us know that the cake was done. I picked up Bella and put her on the counter the took the cake out and cut off the oven. I placed the cake on the table to cool and while it cooled Bella and I talked about the upcoming school year and what activities she'd be interested in doing. She showed interest in gymnastics and track so I guess when she goes to bed I'll be looking for good teams for her. By the time our conversation had finished the cake was cool enough to decorate. I allowed her to decorate the cake because only we were eating it so the presentation wouldn't matter. I cut us both a slice and we sat down and finished the movie . By time as the movie was over Isabella was deep asleep. I lifted her up and to took her to her bedroom. I turned on her night light and her noise machine so that she could sleep straight through the night. And I gave her a good night kiss on her cheek and headed out in the kitchen to clean the mess we had made , after that I sat down in my bed and looked into teams for Bella to join.

An: hey guys this chapter is more of a filler . Just a mommy daughter moment.
