six : one night

delilah

i booked my overnight dula today, just until i'm back from my night out. elle and i always help each other out with the girls but i didn't want to burden her anymore. iris figured out how to open doors and now she likes to sneak into her moms room in the middle of the night.

"a drink on me?" billie came up to keep me company when clauida went to the bathroom.

"if it's a diet coke sure, i already cut myself off." i replied.

"so soon?" she took a sip from what she was drinking, i stared at her lips and then forced my eyes to look at hers.

"i have to be a responsible mother." i smiled.

"that's hot." she commented.

"that's the first time anyone has described me being a mother hot." i snickered, shaking my head slightly.

"i guess you're already so beautifully hot, you being a mom might be a turn off for some but not for me, i like babies and babies like me." she shrugged.

"oh!" i was flabbergasted. "well im sorry to disappoint but im not dating right now."

"who said anything about dating?" she smirked.

"bold." i took a sip from my drink. "but that's not really my thing, i get attached way too fast."

"me too." she smiled. "that why a night is perfect, i'm leaving the state soon."

"oh! so you're a player a see." my brows were now raised.

"not really, i don't play anyone. i'm pretty straightforward and honest." she shrugged.

"that's true, you're a bop."

"uhm no i'm not." she shook her head. "i just can't not.."

"bed me?" i fluttered my lashes at her.

"no! oh my god!" she widened her eyes. "i'm sorry, im just gonna go." her cheeks turned red, she turned around.

"no wait!" i laughed. "come back, we can just talk. i like talking with you." my eyes couldn't help but glance at those lips again.

"you like talking with me." she said it in a statement kind of way. she liked that sentence, and i liked that she liked it.

"i do." i nodded as she sat down on the stool next to me. "now tell me, you're leaving the state. why?"

"i got a work opportunity, im young and nothing is holding me back so i took it." she answered.

"what kind of work?"

"im a producer that has big dreams." she responded. "going to co produce on a movie that's going to be in theaters, can't disclose the name or anything like that, i signed an NDA."

"that's so cool!" i was so impressed. "where are you leaving to though?"

"london." she replied.

"that's my dream destination." i gasped.

"really? why london?" she asked.

"my mom is a painter and when i was about eight years old i wanted a room makeover like eight year olds do. we weren't living a lavish life or anything like that, but mom had her paints and brushes. i went to my grandma's for a week and came back to the wall beside my bed becoming a beautiful mural of a street in london and in the back, there was big ben. then on the far right she somehow incorporated other beautiful buildings, like the eiffel tower, burj khalifa, the colosseum and what not. but its was london that really stood out to me as a kid, i don't know why." i explained. "im guessing that was my moms way of telling me to dream big, you know? i shouldn't be caged in a place just because it's where i am at right now."
