Quick Note
before reading, the age gap is 35 and 19. Which means she had her child (Elijah at the age of 16) this is a wattpad book not a real life story. so please do not give hate. if you don't like it you know where the button is to leave. plus it will go a little fast but it will be worth it.

Aurora James

Today was a few days before we leave for holiday.

I was most of all excited for getting away from work and the house to be honest. I do love my house and my job but sometimes you just need the break once awhile.

as i was finishing cleaning the house i hear the door open. "mum." i hear my son shout through the hallway.

"kitchen!" I finish off cleaning the table top.

"hello. how's your day been." my son who's name is elijah asks me.

"It's been good thankyou love. what about you? anything interesting?" i smile.

"well me and my mates have just been out really. catching up and then we went for a little kick about. is it okay if luca comes over for tea. since his mum and dad are finishing packing off?" he questions.

"yeah that's fine." i get back to cleaning while he walks off.

.•°•.•°•.•°•.•°•.•°•.•°

the door goes. letting me know luca has arrived. i hear footsteps on the floor as i'm pulling the last tray off mash out the oven.

"hello miss james. you look nice." i hear in the background. i turn to see the words have come from luca.

"hello honey, thankyou." i blush slightly.

"any help?" he comes closer into the kitchen.

"no it's okay. do you wanna go get elijah for me?" i dish up. i hear the footsteps drift into the hallway up the stairs.

as i'm putting the plates onto the table i hear the boys coming down the steps.

"smells good." elijah smiles to me.

i walk to the draws and grab the forks and knifes.

"well i hope it tastes nice, it's a new recipe." i explain. i hear them both laugh lightly. i sit myself across from luca while elijah is next to him.

"so we excited for tomorrow." i say while filling my mouth with food. "very." they reply.

"good. make sure you both get some sleep. we've got to be up earlier for the trip to the airport and it'll be awhile before you can sleep. so you'll need all the energy." i exaggerate.

we finish off food with a little chat. "thankyou for food. it was lovely." luca tells me. as i look up i see him staring at me. i smile towards him and he smiles back still looking into my eyes. his always had beautiful eyes since he was a baby. me and my friend. amy. we both had children young but we wouldn't change it for the world.

"well it's getting late luc, would you like a lift home or have you drove yourself?" i look away trying to fill the weirdness.

"i drove. but thankyou. goodnight bellissima." he tells me walking off. (beautiful)

i know luca was italian because his mother was. but i never really picked up on the language since they don't use it often. i let it slide and lock up while walking back to the kitchen to clean.

.•°•.•°•.•°•.•°•.•°•.•°

as i'm walking up the stairs i hear someone shout my name. only person being is elijah. i walk to his room and see him packing his suitcase.

"are you really packing now? little late don't you think." i laugh.

"well i was busy. okay. i have about a weeks clothes. is that good?" he laughs back.

"yes it'll be fine. i'm off bed. goodnight, love you." i warmly smile to him as i shut his door. he replies back with a goodnight and love you.

i walk into my bedroom and change into my pjs and enter my fluffy bed. i have been waiting all day for.

as i get my book out the chest off draws next to my bed. all i can think of is what luca said to me. bellissima.

i decide to search it up. and as it loads i couldn't believe my eyes. beautiful.

my sons best friend called me beautiful. don't get me wrong he compliments me sometimes as i'm on my way out. and it's normally the days where i don't feel myself or great. but on a random friday night? strange.

i put it past me and read my book. still thinking off how my sons best friend called me beautiful.
