My ride to school felt shorter than normal. Ella and Annie were dancing about in the front while I was just about nodding off in the back. "Hey Jas did you not have a good night? You seem exhausted." Explains Ella turning down the music and calming down a bit.
"Yeah I just couldn't sleep but I am definitely paying for it now." I sort of lie. Giulietta was up almost all night she was so unsettled. You see Giulietta was never like that. Even being at 6 weeks old I would have to wake her up once a night to feed. And then in the morning. She was a good sleeper but I think she missed me yesterday.
"You'll be alright. Get some coffee in you." Laughs Ella pulling in to the school car park.
I laugh along with them but knowing I can't have any coffee because of breast feeding sort of makes me sad. I look down at my phone to see I have a missed call from Enzo, my phone didn't even ring. When we step out the car I begin to call Enzo back. "You guys go in I have to call someone I'll see yous in first period." I smile waving to them as they walk down the street. "Hey Enzo sorry I didn't get your call I think my phones a bit broken. Anyway what's up." I ask fixing my bag on my shoulder.
"Well I spoke to my parents and they said it's fine for me to come and see the two of you this weekend. If your free of course." Replies Enzo.
"Oh yeah that would be great. You can see us and meet my friends... can I ask you something?"
"Sure anything." He Reassures.
"Well I haven't told Ella, Annie or Luca about Giulietta and it's not because of her because she's perfect I just don't want them to treat me different. I don't know how to tell them... I did tell Lucas brother Gianni. He seemed supportive enough and even asked to babysit. I guess I'm just asking for your advice." I babble beginning to get a little emotional.
"Hey it's fine calm down. I'll be there this weekend so you can tell them then or get the brother who you've told and was supportive to be there when you tell them. If you have someone who supports you it won't be bad I promise. I have to go Jas but don't think to much of it. You'll always have people who support you. I'll FaceTime you later. Bye." Says Enzo hanging up and I begin to walk to class.The bell rings out for our break and I grab my bag to leave when Annie grabs my arm. "You've been extremely quiet are you okay?"
"Yeah just super tired." I lie. I've been going back and forth with myself wether to tell my friends about Giulietta or not. Right now I'm thinking to tell them but with the support of Gianni if he's up for it. My plan is to call Gianni and see if he's okay with it. Then get some snacks and have everyone round after school.
We walk pretty much in silence to the table we normally all sit at. "Guys I think I'm going to go home but can you drop by mine maybe around 4:30 if yous aren't busy of course." I ask putting my grey jumper on.
"Um yeah that's fine. We can come by then." Replies Annie holding my hand and squeezing it a little. She has clicked that there's something up with me I just know.
"Luca I know this is weird of me to ask but what is Gianni's number... I can explain later." I say readjusting my bag and looking at him. He's on his phone and then mine vibrates.
"I sent you it. I guess we'll see you at 4:30." Smiles Luca putting his phone away."Mom, mom I'm home." I say loudly walking into the house and closing the door behind me quietly. I check round the kitchen and don't see her or Gigi. I head upstairs and go into my room, there's no one there. While I'm in there I put my bag down. "Mom" still no reply. I walk along the hallway and see that Kate's room door is open. I go in and see Kate and Gigi asleep together. I quietly walk over and pick up Gigi and heading back downstairs leaving Kate to sleep. I sit on the comfy sofa and pull out my phone calling Gianni while Gigi is asleep in my arms. "Hello? Who is this?" Asks Gianni clearly confused with who is calling him.
"Hey Gianni, its jasmine Luca's friend. Can I ask you something?" I ask beginning to twiddle my fingers.
"Hey Jasmine I would have thought after our little kiss that I was your friend too. Anyway yeah sure what's up." He says sarcastically. I just know he's smirking. I begin to feel my cheeks go rosé.
"Since you know about me being a mom and I haven't told my friends yet. I was wondering if you could come to my house tonight. I'm planning on telling them and I really need the support." I explain once again beginning to feel quite emotional.
"Yeah of course I think that's a great idea. Anything else?" He asks.
"Actually is there any chance your free or have time to take me to a store. I don't trust myself in a car driving with Gigi and I know you drive." I explain looking down at Gigi who is beginning to get quite unsettled.
"Sure I have to get some things for the house anyway. I'll pick you up around 12 and we can go to Costco. Maybe even get some lunch while we're there. See you soon jas." He says hanging up the phone and I lean back. 1 hour I have till I get picked up and Gigi isn't even dressed. I go upstairs and straight into my room. I take my jumper off and adjust my top so that I am able to feed Gigi because she is beginning to get fussy. I pick her out a white vest, blush purple pair of soft cotton leggings, a cream coloured white jumper topped with a white hat to keep her warm. I place them on my bed alongside a thick white blanket that will definitely keep her warm in her pram. I finish feeding her which doesn't take too long and quickly change her diaper before getting her dressed.5 minutes before Gianni is supposed to be here I hear a car horn outside. I check at the window and noticing it's him I quickly grab my bag and leave pushing out Gigi's pram. "Hey let me get that." He says coming up the few steps and takin her car seat and bag. "I'll get this set up if you put this in the trunk." He says handing me the wheels and her bag. I wave at Kate who's standing at her window. I told her we were leaving and that's when she woke up. I literally chuck the weeks in the back and get round to the front of his nice warm car.
After about one hour of shopping I bought countless amounts of chips, drinks and fruit for later on. We sit down to eat some lunch and relax before the journey home. We've had good conversation the whole time we've been together but now we're sitting down in front of each other it's a little awkward. "So about the other night" he says looking up from his burger to me.
"Honestly I don't know. I mean I don't regret it but I wouldn't normally do something like that... can we not talk about, Please." I almost beg.
"Sure it's fine." He reassures going back to his burger.
I look over at Gigi and she is being extremely fussy. She was fed almost 2 hours ago so I can see why. "I have to feed her." I explain.
"Oh sure um well I can go on a walk if it makes you more comfortable?" He offers taking a drink of his juice.
"No I don't mind."I smile.
"My family's Italian they all breast feed it's just natural." He smiles.
I just feel like that's one of the most mature things a guy his age has ever says to me.
I fix Gigi so she's basically in my jumper but still has plenty room so be safe and breathe okay when my phone begins to ring.-Luca.
"Um Hey Luca." I say. As I say 'Luca' Gianni's eyes shoot to mine and he makes a funny face.
"I got sent a picture of you and Gianni out for lunch. I never knew yous were that close." He sort of questions.
"Yeah em he's been great to me... anyway who sent you the picture?" I ask almost laughing. People thinking just because two friends are having lunch it's something serious.
"Uh Maxine. Okay I have to go. I'll see you around 4:30. Bye Jas." says Luca hanging up the phone.
I take a deep breathe. "Well someone called Maxine sent Luca a picture of us having lunch. I'm just glad she never got Gigi in it."
"Oh she's a bit obsessed. Anyway nothing to worry about. Once little Gigi's full we can get going. You'll have to right a speech for later on tonight." Laughs Gianni.
"That's not funny." I say reaching over the table and slapping his shoulder.
