Stubborn Love

chapter: 8

   The next morning I woke up and found a note on my bed side table. It said, Sorry I had to leave before you woke up Gracianya but my mom was texting me to come home. kisses Zak Attack. Zak is so weird sometimes but I love that silly guy. I got up and went to my bathroom. I did my usual routine and took a quick shower. I peeked into James' room and found him asleep still so I went to my room to get dressed.

   I put on black leggings with a blue and white stripped sweater on top of a longish white tank top. I paired that with black flats and a brown purse. I towel dried my hair and pinned some of it back with a white lace bow. When I was ready I went to James' room. I decided I was going to wash him today so I removed my sweater before bringing him to the bathroom.

   As the tub filled up I changed into an old baggy t-shirt because James likes to splash. By the time I was finished washing him my t-shirt was almost soaked. It is actually quite fun bathing him because he laughs and splashes like a happy baby. After I dried him off I brought him to his room and put a diaper on him before I picked an outfit for him.

   I dressed him in black jeans with a blue and white striped long sleeve shirt with black vans. We are going to be matching today. Once he was dressed I went back to my room and changed back into my tank top and sweater. I packed some stuff for James in my purse before going downstairs. I made him a bottle and put him in his high chair. I gave him some cookies and his bottle for him to feed himself. James is now able to hold his own bottle and I'm happy about that because holding a bottle for him can get annoying.

   I made myself some toast and poured myself a glass of juice before I sat down to eat. James kept trying to talk to me in his baby talk. I wonder when he is going to say his first word and I wonder what it will be. It's hard to believe that my little boy is growing up, soon he wont be so little anymore. The thought of that upsets me slightly.

   Once both James and I were done eating I cleaned up all the mess. Today I decided I am going to go for a walk with James around town. I have nothing to do and Chloe sleeps all day, my parents always are working, so James is my only entertainment. It gets boring sitting at home all day so I'm going for a walk, and it also counts as exercise something I really need.

   I left a note saying I was going out with James before I left. Walking around was actually quite peaceful. It was still early in the morning so the only people out were senior citizens and people going to work.

   I wasn't watching were I was going because I was looking at James and talking to him. When I talk to him he laughs and smiles, which I like. I wanted to go to Starbucks to get a Frappuccino so I turned the street corner and bumped into a sweaty, running figure. Somehow they hit me instead of the stroller and I almost fell flat on my ass. The person however caught me so I didn't fall. I was about to apologize and I looked up into the blue eyes of Josh Wilson.

   We were really close together and our faces were only inches apart. "Sorry for running into you," he whispered. "It's fine, I should have been watching were I was going," I whispered back afraid to speak any louder. He was still holding onto my arms from catching me, but he pulled away slightly. A few moments later he pulled away from me completely much to my disappointment.

   "I was wondering if you would like to maybe get a coffee with me. It' been a while and I think we need to um talk," he said nervously biting his lip looking from me to James. "Umm I'm not sure we should do that," I responded to him. "Come on Grace it wont kill you to talk to me would it," he said to me. I looked at him for a few seconds. Last time I bumped into him he would barely talk to me, now he wants to get a coffee with me. "Alright I guess," I replied before we went towards Starbucks.
