Jacob Perez

"I don't mind really, the two of us can have a male bonding type of thing." He said. "Are you sure? I mean, I can cook something for the 3 of us and we can chill here..."

"Bab- Jacob, it's fine. Jamie won't be a problem at all. I'm serious. I like hanging with him, he's a cool kid." He looked me dead in the eyes, letting me know he was actually serious. Looking down to hide the light blush that was forming on my cheeks from hearing him call me baby, I nodded. "Okay... Let me, um go get him changed. C'mon boogie let's go put on your swimming trunks."

"Pool!"

The two of us went into his bedroom to find his swimming attire. We were going to the beach then afterwards we would go back to his place so he could make his "famous" garlic shrimp with a sweet lemon sauce he says he makes from scratch. "I ready, mama." Boogie said tapping my knee. He had his trunks on backwards holding his pull-up in his hand.

  "Boogie, take them off you have them on wrong." He giggled and ran away from me, leaving the room. "This kid." I laughed at myself before chasing after him, when I finally found him he was hiding behind Chresanto. "Up." He lifted his arms for Chres to pick him up. I began to walk slow and make growling noises earning more giggles and even a scream from him. "Ahh!" He said as Chres picked him up and ran away from me.

  "He's gonna get us Jamie." He said dramatically falling on the couch. Jamie started saying things neither of us could understand, I could only make out a few words such as: "up", "zombie", and "mama".

"I'll be mama again if you let me put on your pull up."

  "Be mama and zombie." He got off of Chresanto's chest and gave me his pull-up. I scooped him up from the floor, tickling his tummy and taking him back to his room. Once we all got situated, we were off to the beach.

  "Mama, sleepy." Jamie said running over to me, yawning and rubbing his eyes. "Don't do that boogie, you'll get sand in your eye." He eyes hung low and he sat in my lap, laying on my chest while reaching his hand up to my ear. Chresanto watched me while drinking the rest of his daiquiri.

  "Why don't you rub your own ear?" I said, he shook his head slowly falling asleep in my arms. Another habit of his rubbing on my ear or if I'm not there, his ear to fall asleep. Probably one of the weird traits he got from his father who used to pinch under my arms when it was time to go to sleep.

  "You think he'll wake up later?" Chresanto asked looking at Jamie. "Oh no, he's been eating all day, he's out for the rest of the night, well until about 3 in the morning when he runs in my room and demands I fix him some goggy fakes. " I laughed at Jamie's way of saying Frosted Flakes. "Good," he bit his bottom lip and leaned closer to my ear. "Now I can kiss all over his mama." He tugged on my earlobe with his teeth and his left hand slowly rubbed on my side. I felt his soft, cold lips trail kisses down my jawline and neck making me shiver. "I like the taste of your skin." He whispered before sucking on my neck. I moaned softly, tilting my head to the left and let him continue to devour my flesh for a few seconds before remembering Jamie was laying on me, knocked out cold.

I turned to face him, his lips detached themselves from my neck and latched onto my lips, letting me taste the Piña Colada on his breath. He pulled away with my lip between his teeth. "I love your lips, they always taste like blueberries." He said, talking about my eos lip balm.

I laughed a little, looking down at his mouth then down to his chest and further down to his shorts. I noticed his print was very much visible and quickly put my focus on the setting sun.
