The Chase || Jimmy Butler

03

Liv woke up and felt Jimmy's body pressed against her back. His arm was draped over her and soft snores were escaping his mouth. She carefully maneuvered her way out of his arms and into the bathroom.

She brushed her teeth and washed her face, and when she came out of the bathroom Jimmy was laid on her bed looking at his phone.

"Good morning, sunshine" He said with a raspy morning voice.

"Good morning. Sleep well?" She asked as she sat down next to him. He nodded his head and yawned. It was 9am, which was normally later than they both wake up.

"I better go brush my teeth." Jimmy said standing up.

"Yeah you should." Liv said holding her nose and pretending to gag. He laughed and mocked her as he made his way out. Liv followed, but went downstairs to find some breakfast.

She made her way to the fridge and looked around grabbing eggs, milk, and bacon. When she closed the door DeAndre was standing there which startled her.

"Shit! You almost made me drop the eggs." She said, catching her breath. He just stared at her making a face.

"What?" She said, knowing that he was going to ask about Jimmy.

"I see you had some company last night." He said. "Wanna tell me what that's all about?"

"Oh my goodness. He was scared from the movie, so I told him he could stay in my room. No big deal really." She said looking for a pan.

"Well, I think he has a little crush on you." He teased. "And I think you have one too."

Liv just looked at him, because it was kind of true. Jimmy was cute, funny, and he seemed to have an interest in her.

"Oh shut up you big knuckle head." She said while cracking the eggs. "You want some?" He nodded his head yes.

"Look all I'm saying is that you should go for it. He's a good guy." He said

"Who's a good guy." Jimmy said walking down the stairs. He had on basketball shorts and no shirt, and Liv couldn't take her eyes off of him.

"No one really." DJ said while making a face at Liv behind Jimmy's back.

"Anyways!" Liv said trying to change the topic "do you want breakfast?"

"If it's not too much trouble." Jimmy said sitting at the table. Liv nodded and resumed cooking.

"So, what's on the agenda for today?" Liv asked.

"Well I'm going to see my kid. But I'll be back around 5 or so." DJ said "What about you Jim?"

"Not sure really. Haven't made any plans." He said while Liv handed him his plate. "Do you want to do something with me?" He said referring to Liv.

"I mean I have no plans either, so sure why not." She said with a smile. The three finished their breakfast, and DJ left to go see his son.

"So..." Jimmy said "what would you like to do today?" Liv thought for a moment and got an idea.

"We could go pick up lunch and take it to the park." She said sounding like a happy, little kid.

"Sounds like a date." Jimmy teased. "I'm down." Liv blushed and Looked away. She didn't know what to say, because she was kind of embarrassed. It did in fact sound exactly like a date.

"Okay. Let me get ready then." She said and quickly scurried upstairs to her room.

She took the braid out of her hair to reveal her wavy hair and was satisfied with that. Next, She covered her blemishes and brushed on some mascara. Finally she picked out an outfit which was jean shorts, a plain black tube top, and her black vans. She made her way downstairs to find Jimmy waiting for her on the couch.
