Isabelle's pov
**next day**
Bo and I just left the spa. I feel so relaxed, I don't know why I didn't do this since. I need to speak with my baby girl. I pull out my phone
Bo:"who are you calling?"
I:"Ray. I need to speak with Adey"
Bo:she laughs "I thought you said you'll not call, something about not disturbing their bond time"
She says in her thick accent. Sometimes it's hard to understand what she's saying. I roll my eyes and dial Ray
**phone rings**
Ade:"hello mama"
I:"my baby! How're you?"
Ade:"I'm fine mama, how're you?"
I:"I'm fine too baby girl. Have you eaten? What did you eat?"
Ade:"yes mama. Mashed potatoes and steak mama. It was yummy!"
I laugh at her over enthusiasm when talking about food.
I:"sorry I didn't talk to you before bed baby. I lost track of time."
Ade:"its okay mama, I'm not mad."
I:"thank you sweetie. Where's your dad?"
I hear her calling Ray. She hands him the phone
R:"hello"
I:"hey Good day"
R:"how're you?"
I:"I'm good. Just wanted to erm say hi. How's it going with Adey? Did she give you any trouble?"
R:"oh thanks. Very well. Oh no she's been a complete angel."
I:"oh okay then. See you tomorrow then. Bye.
R:" yeah. Bye"
I hang up. What is with the palpitations? It was just a normal conversation between two people co-parenting,Nothing more right?
Bo:"whats got you thinking?"
I:"it's nothing. Let's go, you're helping me get ready. What am I supposed to do on a date, it's been a while."
Bo:"breathe in, breathe out"
I do as I'm told. Bo has this obsession with yoga. But this isn't helping, but I dare not voice my thoughts out else we'll have a full yoga session on the curb.
Bo:"good! Now. It's not a big deal. You just be yourself, okay?"
I:"oh just tell me who the person is already!"
Bo:"not a chance! Don't ruin the fun. Come on mate, we need to get you ready"
I roll my eyes. We uber to my house.
It's just past 4 in the evening and we're still debating on what I should wear.
I'm supposed to be at the restaurant by 7, so there's still enough time.
**few hours later**
I'm finally ready. We finally decided on a pink body con long sleeved dress. I decided to wear a wig. No natural makeup today, I go all out a gold cut crease, nude lips,contour and highlight. You know the full package. I'm not desperate or anything, I just had a lot of time to get ready and I didn't have anything else to do, so while Bo and I were catching up on each others life I just went with the full package. I wear gold heel sandals,and a gold clutch.
Bo walks me to the front porch where my uber awaits. She gives me a hug and walks back inside. She's staying over, something about wanting to be here to hear all the juicy details while it's still fresh.I get to the restaurant and outside the restaurant I see Jordan, he's one of Bo's friends, we all hang out together for lunch and sometimes dinner. Omg! It's Jordan he's the date. No way!
Jo:"hey isa"
I:"Jordan. Hey"
Jo:"let's go in."
He opens the door for me and we get our reservation and walk to our table. In no time we order our food.
I:"wow... I can't believe this, why didn't you just say something, to me?"
Jo:"I'm sorry. I just get so nervous around you. I've had a crush on you for a while now. I didn't think you'll want to be with me"
I:"Omg Jordan I didn't know. You know I have a kid, are you okay with that?"
Jo:"you know I love Adeya! I'm more than okay with that."
We laugh and our food is finally here. We dig in.
**phone rings**
Why is Ray calling.
I:"hello"
R:"hey Isabelle, its Adeya. She was burning up, I'm at the hospital with her"
I:"what?! How? What hospital? I'm on my way"
Omg Omg Omg... My phone beeps and its a text from Ray, the name and address of the hospital.
Jo:"what's wrong?"
I:"I'm sorry Jordan we'll have to do this another time. I don't know what's wrong with Adeya, her dad just called he said they're at the hospital. I have to go"
Jo:"let me take you"
I:"you don't have to..."
Jo:"I want to, come on let's go"If you enjoyed this chapter, please don't forget to vote and leave a comment. Thank you... XOXO
