I woke up the next morning and found eli cuddled in next to me, He has done this before but I never actually felt him climb into my bed. I got up to go to the bathroom and wash my face, my eyes puffy and bloodshot red from crying at the sight of that text last night.
I walked back to peep in my room and Elijah was still sound asleep. He must've been up late, I thought to myself. I walked over to grab my towel and shower before he awoke, there was a sudden knock at the door. I looked through the peep hole and it was Jackson looking nervous.
"Who is it?" I say playfully because I knew who it was. "Its Jackson" he said happily. I opened the door and he pulled roses and a bag with food in it from behind him. I smiled and thanked him for the roses and gestured for him to come in.
"These smell great Jackson, Thank you again" I smiled. He looked at my towel and blushed. "Did I interrupt something?" He asked with a sorry look in his eye. "Oh no I was going to shower before Elijah woke up, but I answered the door, its no big deal." I said with a sincere smile. "Mama" said a sleepy Elijah walking into the livingroom. "Jaaaaasooon!!!" He said suddenly not so tired anymore. Elijah called 'Jackson', Jasson because he couldn't say his name properly. "Hey, Elijah" Jackson said giving Elijah a high five. "I brought breakfast" he said as he pulled the take out boxes out of the bag.
We all walked into the kitchen and I grab plates. And we eat. By the time we were done, I let Elijah play and watch cartoons. "Lijah its going to be nap time soon ok papi" I said smiling at him. "Yes Mama" he said rubbing his tired eyes. I know my boy, by noon he was out. I went to lay him down in his bed and I went back to talk to Jackson.
"So where's his father?" He asked quietly. "Somewhere, he was never around, Elijah never ever seen him before and he texted me last night randomly asking to see him before he leaves?" I said as a tear rolled down my cheek. This was an emotional topic, I'm trying to be strong for the sake of my child and I, I can't just break down, Eli needs me. "I'm sorry" Jackson says looking guilty and stood me up and embraced me in his nice build. "Thank you" I whispered. " Here how about you go shower and I'll clean this mess up" he said with a genuine smile. "Are you sure?" I asked hesitantly. "Positive" he answered with a smile. "Now go, stinky" he laughed with a cheesy grin. I nudged his arm and laughed along, and with that I wisped off to the shower.
After I was done I walked out totally forgetting I had company and he seen me dripping wet in my towel, hair dripping, everything. He looked at me deep, but sudd wiped his face and turned around and apologized. "Jackson" I said and as he turned around I purposely slipped my wet bare thigh out of the towel, bit my lip sexually, smiled naughtly and blew him a kiss. "Oh dear heavens" he said turning around walking towards the couch.
After I finished getting dressed I started down on the couch next to him and we talked.
"How about I take you and Elijah out to Apple bee's tonight?" He said stroking my hair behind my ear gazing into my eyes. "Are you sure?" I said reassuring. He nodded and smiled as he stroked my cheek and gave be a kiss on the lips. We both sat there watching TV until I stood up grabbed his hand and led him to my bedroom, where we napped and cuddled silently, until it was time to go out and eat.
