"Mommy" I heard a little voice whisper, I stirred in my sleep not wanting to get up. Then I felt a huge weight on me.... That's not Madi?
I opened my eyes to see Jake laying on top of me smiling like a wild man. "Geeet upppp" he whined I tried to roll over but didn't succeed.
"Nooooo, go away come back later" I groaned out shutting my eyes closed tight. The weight still on me I mentally rolled my eyes.

"You're not getting up until I do, right?" I could feel his smile plastered on his flawless face... wait what? "Yup pretty much, so get up beautiful" I felt the blush on my cheeks; opening my eyes to see his face like literally three centimeters away from my face. So what any logical person would do... I shoved his face away. Ha you probably thought I was going to kiss him didn't you? Well sucks to suck because I didn't.

I sat up making him roll off of me and looked down on him to see his cute puppy dog eyes he was making, while he puffed out his lower lip... Gosh can he get any hotter?? Wait..... I shook my head looking away from him and to my sweet Madi.

She was standing on the edge of my bed you could barely see her eyes. I smiled at her scooping her up into my arms making her giggle while I showered her with little kisses on her face. "Ew mommy stooop it" she giggled out I looked back on her "You don't like mommy's kisses?" I asked her with a fake hurt expression, her face fell "No mommy don't be sad I love them I- I was just kidding" she leaned into me giving me a hug, and I wrapped my arms around her.

When we broke the hug I saw Jake looking at us with love in his eyes. If only I could really love him. It's not that I don't it's just... I can't say I love him if I didn't really spend time with him, and I know what I said in that letter mostly was true but now that I think about it. I was young and dumb... I didn't really love him. It's hard to explain but that is how I feel now that I'm an adult.

Maybe someday I can fall in-love with Jake but for now, this is for Madi's sake... and my sanity.

"Hey! I got a big surprise for yah" Jake said while smiling at me showing me his 100watt smile that made me want to go weak in the knees... Stop it! I had Madi on my lap and Jake stood up really fast, wow made my head go light headed. He held out his arms and Madi jumped into them and he shifted her to his hip and then held his hand out to me and I reluctantly took it; he hurried and pulled me out of the room and down to the kitchen.

Let me stop this right here just to explain how good it smelt in this room.

IT.SMELT.LIKE.HEAVEN.

Eggs, bacon, pancakes, biscuits, and.... Is that chocolate gravy?! How the hect did he know?! I closed my eyes for a minute just to take it all in, he's trying really hard.... and the thing is.... I think it's working.

I opened my eyes to see Jake still holding my hand and looking at me adoringly; we locked eyes and his eyes... Oh my wow, they are literally so beautiful. They are a clear blue that is like on a clear summer day when there is no clouds in the sky, that's his eyes, but in the middle it also reminds me of the ocean how it's a dark blue that ripples out looking like a wave.

I licked my lips.... Oh my gosh! I looked away fast feeling a hot blush take its place on my once tanned skinned cheeks and bit my lip. I heard his chuckle at me, and I mentally rolled my eyes at him. His hand squeezed mine tighter and he pulled me to the table and sat me down. That's when I noticed Madi sitting across from me with her full plate, a little bit of everything. "What would you like?" I bit my lip and thought "Hmm a little bit of everything?" I more asked then just said. He smiled at me and hurried to fill my order.
