I update this wAY too much 😂
The next morning, I woke up to find myself snuggled up to James. He had his arms wrapped around me, and his hair was gently tousled. He looked so cute like this. I never wanted to leave his arms. I felt so safe, and relaxed. I felt him stir a bit, and then he yawned.
"Good morning." I sleepily said, kissing him.
"It definitely is now." He said, grinning.
I got up and made some coffee. James followed, hugging me from behind.
"You know, I've gotten pretty attached to you this past week." He said, resting his head on my shoulder.
"Likewise." I replied, adding creamer to his coffee.
"Hey, you remembered."
"Of course, I still remember a lot about you."
"You know I wonder if there is a reason we met again."
"Maybe so." I said, handing him his coffee.
"You don't think we are moving too fast do you?" He asked, staring into his coffee.
"No, as long as we stay the way we are for a while."
"Okay, I just didn't want you to feel like I was rushing us."
"Of course not." I said, kissing his cheek.
We sat and talked that morning. We caught up with each other, and re learned things about each other. He talked about his son, his music, and everything he said was so interesting. We had a great morning, until I heard a knock on the door.
"Hmm, It's probably a package or something." I said, sluggishly walking to the door.
"Taye."
"Hello, I have Wal- who is this?" Taye asked, motioning to James.
"Taye this is my old friend James." I said, motioning to James.
"Yeah, and your old friend James happens to be in your apartment at 11 am with pajamas on?" Taye said, his voice rising.
"Taye, it's not like that."
"Okay Idina." He said, I could tell he didn't believe me.
"Bye Daddy!" Walker said, running into the apartment.
"Bye baby." He said, walking away.
"Hey sweetie! Oh I missed you!" I said hugging Walker.
"I missed you to mommy." Walker said, leaning his head on my shoulder.
James was smiling at me and Walker.
"So this is the famous little man?" James asked.
"Yes, Walker this is James."
"Hello James. Are you my mommies boyfriend?" He said, giggling.
"Nosey Walker!" I said, jokingly. I started tickling him and then put him down. He ran to him room screaming, "Mommy has a boyfriend!"
"So I'm your boyfriend now?" James asked, that familiar smirk forming on his lips.
"Don't push it." I said firmly.
"Hey you don't see me complaining, that means I get to kiss you whenever I want." He replied, gently pressing his lips on mine. He was surprisingly very romantic and gentle. I broke the kiss and looked at him.
"Why me?" I asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Why do you want to be with me. I'm older, I'm not very good looking, I-"
"Stop. You are so beautiful. You really are. You're Cute, beautiful," He said, nipping at my ear "Sexy."
"James don't lie to yourself."
"I'm not. You are the most beautiful, charming, smart, successful woman I have ever met." He said, taking my hands.
"You know, you are perfect right?"
"No, I'm far from it, but I do promise to treat you like a lady, and you deserve nothing less than respect." He said, his hands wrapping around my back.
"You are way too sweet."
"Only the best for you."
This man was perfect.
