After a 2 hour drive from getting the rest of my stuff, I finally arrived at my new house. It was a beautiful country styled home in uptown New York. I got out of the truck and walked around to open the door I grabbed my purse and unbuckled my sleeping 4yr old son and walked into the house with him still in my arms sleeping. We moved in about two weeks ago, I walked in and put him into his bed. I walked back outside to get the stuff we got for the house from the truck, I was trying to pull out this big swing set we bought out from the back of the truck "here let me help you with that" said a man as he grabbed the other end of the box "where are we bringing it" he asked and smiled "the backyard" I told him and smiled back. He looked kinda cute he had medium length dark brown hair, a beard that had a slight hint of grey in it, and tattoos. We got to the backyard and put the swing set down "hi I'm jeffrey I live across the street" he said and extended his hand I shook his hand "hi I'm hailey, I just moved in a couple weeks ago" I said and smiled "I can help you put this together if you'd like" he said "no I think I'm ok thank you though I don't think I'm going to put it up today" I told him. He looked at the box then back at me "are you sure?" I giggled a little bit "yea I'm sure it's going to be getting dark soon and I have to go make dinner for my kid" I told him "thank you for your help though it was very kind of you" I said he smiled at me "any time I'm right across the street if you need anything it was nice meeting you hailey" he said and started walking away "you too jeffrey" I said and smiled i started getting butterflies in my stomach. I walked into the house and started making dinner when dinner was done I went and woke up my son from his nap "baby dinners done" I whispered and started rubbing his back. He slowly woke up we walked to the dinner table and we ate our dinner but all I could think about was how nice and good looking jeffrey was. After I did the dishes and put some more stuff up in the house it was 11:30 so I put my pjs on and went to bed. I got woken up around 8 o'clock by a 4yr old jumping on my bed "mommy mommy can we got on the swing set" he said I pulled his arm so he was laying down now and started tickling him "we have to go put it together first babe" I said "can we please" he asked I got out of bed "go change your clothes and we will" I told him and went and changed my clothes as well. I unlocked the back door and as I slid open the curtains I saw someone in the backyard, wearing a black shirt and jeans I knew exactly who it was. I felt a little smile come over my face. I picked up my son and opened the door walked through the porch and opened the door to get outside when the door closed he turned around and smiled at me he was sweaty "I told you you didn't have to put it together" I said as I walked closer to him he looked at me and smiled "I wanted to how bout you put him down so I can see how high to make the seat" he said I put him down and he ran over to the sit with a huge smile on his face "what's your name little buddy" he asked as he put him on the seat and started adjusting it "Kane" my son said I smiled at the big smile on his face "wow that such a cool name, my names jeffrey" he said "ok all done you can swing now" said said and gave Kane a push. Then he walked over to me "thank you so much you just made his day" I told him and continued to watch as my son was swinging "no problem, it gave me something to do and it looks like he's having fun" he said
