Mommy Dearest *Completed but Not Edited*

Chapter 23

Jaida: 

"Please consider it."  

I sighed and rubbed my forehead trying to ward off the oncoming headache, "Cam, I don't know." 

"Gran will watch Bella if that's what you're worried about although you have no reason to be worried, it won't be the first time she's spent a night with her but please go out with me," he pleaded, widening his dark blue eyes and pouting slightly. 

'That look should be illegal.' This had been the conversation for the past two weeks. Today is Wednesday and Bella and I were moving in to Cameron's place Saturday. He had been trying to get me to go out with him on Friday. I wanted to honestly, I really did. Why wouldn't I, I was in love with him after all. I was just nervous. It was my first date in a long time and I was scared I'd mess it up or something else would go wrong.  

If Genny was here, she would tell me stop being a wimp and go get with that sexy piece of ass whose interested in me and my daughter. I really should give her a call sometime. 

I took a deep breath, "Alright, I'll go out with you."  

I let out a squeal and laughed when he grabbed me and spun me around, "Thank you very much, I promise you won't regret it," he said placing a kiss on my cheek. 

I pinched his cheek, "You're too cute Cammy, just take these boxes down to your car and I'll go check on Bella." 

"Yes boss lady," he said with a smirk on his face. 

"Don't be a smart-ass," I told him sticking my tongue out at him. He shook his head in amusement before heading out the door. 

"Isabella Marie, are you packed or are you playing?" I asked slowly walking down the hall. She insisted that she was old enough to pack away her own stuff so I left her to it knowing I'd probably have to help her in the end. 

"I'm packed momma," I heard her call out to me as I stood in front the door, I smiled and opened the door only to stop in the doorway as the smile slipped off my face. Why does she have so many toys? I blamed myself for this as I slowly walked into the room that looked like Toymart threw up inside it. 

I glanced down at my daughter, whose face held an innocent smile, "All packed?"

I sent her out to the living room as I sat on the ground packing away her toys, 'no more toys, for awhile, she'll get books from now on, reading is good.'

"You want me to get her boxes as well?" i glanced to the side of me, where Cam sat playing with one of Bella's dolls.

I leaned over and kissed his cheek, "You're a sweetheart Cam."

A knock on the front door interrupted our extremely mild flirting  and I heard Bella shouting for me to open the door. "Go help Cameron baby," I was always wary of opening the door when Bella was around these past two weeks. Even though she slept here, I still saw the fear in her eyes at just being here.

Opening the door, I stiffened immediately and glanced behind me to make sure Bella had gone into her room. I winced when a crash came from the room and Cam's head popped out, "Nothing to worry about--" he trailed off when he saw who was at the door and his eyes visibly narrowed.

Stepping outside and trusting Cam to distract Bella, I looked at my guests, "You sure do have some nerve showing your face here."

Ronnie flinched at my harsh tone, I had forgiven her for slapping me but I was still pissed at the after effects done to Bella and I wasn't ready to play nice just yet, "Can I say something Jaida?"

I shrugged, "Make it quick, I'm packing up my stuff."

"Mom told us you were moving and I just wanted you to know that I'm sorry."
