Noah's footsteps were cautioned as he walked closer to Chris's car. His hand held mines tightly.

"It's okay." I whispered his reassurance. He looked up at me with his big brown eyes which showed how much he trusted in my words. The look was brief before he focused on making it to Chris's car.

"Christopher, this is my son Noah. Noah, this is mommy's new friend Mr. Brown.... Can you say hi?"

"Hi." Was Noah's soft response.

Chris smiled at my son. "Hey little man. You can call me Chris."

"Hi Chris." Noah replied.

"Hey." Chris smile widen.

"Come on, get inside the car and put your seatbelt on." I ordered Noah. He let go of my hand and climbed inside the back seat.

"Need some help?" Chris offered as he watched Noah fumble with getting his seatbelt on.

"Yeah."

I watched as Chris opened the other door and reached over Noah to pull the strap across his chest then clicked it inside it's lock.

"What do we say Noah, after someone helps you?" I said to him,

"Thank you." Noah answered me and said to Chris at the same time.

"No problem little man." Chris replied before ducking out the back seat. Chris looked at me for what I think approval of his behavior towards my son so I smiled in response.

"Let's go." I told him before I climbed inside the car myself and strapped myself in. Chris followed after me and soon we backed away from my momma's house and drove off.

"Is this your car?"

Chris glanced back at Noah briefly before responding.

"Yeah. Do you like it?"

"It's awesome! I want to buy mommy a big car like this too when I get older." Noah confessed.

"And how are you going to do that?" I asked him.

"By going to school then getting a job." Noah answered.

"That's right baby." I beamed.

"Or you could become famous and get rich." Chris interjected.

I shot him a look. "Education is very important to me and it will be to my son as well. Famous or not, my baby will go to college."

"I'm sorry." Chris apologized.

"No, I'm sorry. I just don't want Noah to think that getting rich and being famous is the best way to earn a living."

"I understand. I wish I went to college." He confessed.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"What's stopping you?"

"My music. It's way too important to me and I have too many people counting on me." Chris told me.

"If you could go back what would you major in?" I wondered.

"Probably art," Chris answered. "I love to draw."

I smiled fondly in response. "I bet you're really talented."

"Maybe I can show you sometimes?" Chris said while glancing sideways at me.

"I'd like that." My smile widened before I frowned. "Now pay attention to the road; you're trying to kill me and my baby." I told him jokingly. Chris laughed before focusing back on the road.

During the car ride Noah fell asleep and was still sleeping when Chris reached my house.

"I got him." Chris told me when I reached to pick up Noah out of the car. I stood back and watched as Chris took Noah into his arms. I hurried my pace so I could unlock the door for the both of them.

"The door on your left." I shouted after Chris once he was inside. Chris came back a second later empty handed. "Thanks."

"No problem."

We stood there quietly for a moment before I finally broke the silence,

"Are you sure you're okay with this?" I asked.

"I wouldn't be here if I wasn't Sienna."

I breathe a sigh of relief before walking into his arms. Chris wrapped his arms around me a second later and held me tight.

"Want me to stay?" Chris asked me.

"No, it's fine. It's been a long day and I'm tired. I'm probably just gonna order out then head to bed early." I told him.

"You sure?"

"Yeah," I pulled out of his arms to stare at him. "Call me soon and we'll make plans."

"Okay." Chris surprised me by capturing my lips with his. I kissed back but only for a few seconds.

"You better go before I lose all myself control." I told him.

"Would that be so bad?" I could feel his hands edging towards my backside.

"Yes... you wouldn't be able to handle me." I smirked teasingly at him.

"Oh really?" He raised a brow at me. "Well why don't you let me see if I will."

"No." I giggled. "You're just going to have to wait."

"Speaking of waiting... how long are we talking?"

"Chris, I know you're used to getting what you want and having sex all the time, but I'm telling you now- you're not getting that from me anytime soon."

"I can wait."

"Are you sure? You can back out now if you want to." I told him.

"Are you challenging me?" He chuckled.

"I'm just saying..." I giggled. "I really hope you can wait Chris because the next time I sleep with a guy, it's going to be because I love him."

"Damn." Was his reply.

I laughed. "Yeah..." I said nervously.

"Well I guess I won't be waiting long because every woman loves me."

I rolled my eyes. "And there's the Chris that annoys the hell out of me." I said.

"I'm just kidding."

"No you're not." I couldn't help the smile that was on my face.

"So I'll see you later?" Chris said, pulling me back into his arms once again.

"Yeah. Call me and I'll see if I can fit you into my schedule." I joked.

"Your schedule? Oh you must be busy then." Chris said, playing along.

"Well you know, I have songs to record and a world tour to go on but I'll see if I can squeeze you in." I giggled.

"Oh please do." Chris laughed along with me before he captured my lips in another sweet, lingering kiss.

"Go!" I pushed him away before he could kiss me again.

"Aight, Aight, I'm going." Chris gave me a quick peck on the lips before leaving. Once Chris was gone, I locked up then went to check on Noah who was still asleep in his room. 

I went in my room and stripped down till I was naked before hopping into the shower and changed into sweats and a tank top before ordering pizza.

I woke up Noah even though he was grumpy about it but I didn't want him not being able to sleep at night because he slept for too long in the afternoon.

After our pizza arrived, we said grace before digging in. For the last couple years it's been just me and Noah, but I think I'm finally ready to let someone new enter our life.

I hope I'm doing the right thing.
