24. Happy
James Dayton's P.O.V
With a smile on my face, I stretch like a cat and start opening my eyes slowly, getting used to the light.
I know that today is Saturday, and all I want to do is stay and sleep all day. Still, the smile from my face isn't just due to the fact that I am waking up late today.
It's for another reason.
Getting up and staring at the floor a few seconds, a thing I always do when I wake up but I don't know why, I then go towards the bathroom to take a short shower and brush my teeth.
After finishing, a wide smile appears again and I am sure I look like a loser smiling at nothing, and almost doing a happy dance in my room, but I don't care.
Opening my door, hearing my sister's voice makes me already feel even better, if that's possible.
"Good morning." I almost scream and run towards the kitchen, where the smell of bacon and eggs come from.
Ignoring the surprised faces, I just kiss my mom's cheek and my sister's, and take a seat where a plate is situated just for me.
"Thanks for the food." I feel the need to say, I feel bad that I didn't help her make it today but I slept too much and I stayed awake this night till three a.m.
Speaking with a person.
One of my favorite persons.
"You seem very happy today." My mom starts raising her eyebrows and I gulp, knowing that she'll ask a lot of questions and I don't know if I can lie to her. And I really can't.
"Yeah... So?" I respond and try to act casual but I know that she sees through my act.
When people say moms know everything, they don't lie. She can read me like an open book.
"So? Is it a girl? I know that 'I am in love look.'" She raises her fork towards my face, making her point.
I gulp again and raise my shoulders, starting to eat but not before being startled by her half-scream.
"Mom, you'll wake all the neighbors." I try to make her stop when I realize that even my sister has her palms up to her ears, trying to stop the noise made by mom.
Zara, being only seven years old, has a confused look on her face and I pinch her cheeks, almost 'awwing' out loud at how cute she looks pouting like this.
"So it's true? My baby is finally in a relation? I thought I'll die until this happens."
I roll my eyes and shake my head, watching her face drop in disappointment.
"I am still single mom."
"But-"
She gets cut off by my phone, I take it out from my pocket wanting to see who is calling and I get surprised when I see her number.
