Chapter 15 Things Are Working

~Prod~ 

Me and Jamie did move into together and things are working out good. She's gotten more comfortable around me and we act like a real family but I don't think we're anywhere near being a couple.

I don't mind that we're not a couple but I wish she would talk to me and consider it but every time I bring it up, she just changes the subject and ignores it.

Right now I'm up making breakfast for me and Jamie and I know Destiny will eat too, so she's in her highchair eating cheeros to keep her from fussing.  

Destiny-Dada

I paused and looked back at Destiny, who was holding a cheero up her mouth and looking at me.

Me-What did you say baby girl?

Destiny-Dada

Me-Did my baby say her first word?  

She slammed her hands on the chair and laughed. I walked over to her and kissed her cheek. She smiled and laughed.

I walked back over to the stove and continued to cook. I heard footsteps walk into the kitchen. I looked over to find Jamie in her pajamas still and her hair was in a sloppy bun.

Me-Good morning

Jamie-Morning

Me-How did you sleep?

Jamie-Good

Destiny-Mama

Jamie stopped and looked at Destiny, then she walked over to her and took her out of the highchair and kissed her.

Jamie-Momma's you said your first word

Destiny-Dada

I smiled when she said that and honestly I wanted to tell Jamie that her first word was "Dada" but I didn't want to ruin this moment for her.

Jamie-Baby she said her first word aren't you happy?

Me-Did you just call me "baby"?

She stopped and put Destiny down in the highchair.

Jamie-I didn't mean too. Just so used to calling you that

Me-Ok

I just turned back to breakfast and it got really silent.

Jamie-So that's it? Ok?

Me-What do you want me to say Jamie? We're not together and you don't want to talk about it, so I would really like to know what you want me to say?

Jamie-I guess I don't know what I want you to say

Me-Then don't ask me a dumb question like that

I turn the stove off and set up the table. As we were eating, Jamie wouldn't eat or stop glancing at me. 

I was getting frustrated, so I threw my fork down and looked at her. She sorta jumped and looked at me with widened eyes, like I was gonna hit her.

Me-Ok I'm done

Jamie-What are you talking about?

Me-You're playing with your food and not eating and glaring at me. Why? What's on your mind? Tell me so I can eat without eyes burning a hole in my head

Jamie-I really don't know what you're talking about

Me-Ok fine

I got up, cleaned my plate, then took Destiny out of the highchair and went upstairs to get ready for my day.
