Struggling Love
Chapter 1: No Regrets
Amber was putting her son down to bed and touched his soft cheek with a smile. She sighed as she walked out of the room after turning the lights out and closing the door.
As she leaned up against the door, her thoughts went back to the former Techno Leader who captured her heart. Even though her heart snapped right in two when she learned that he was with Trudy. She learned about Jay and Trudy's breakup. She couldn't help but feel that it was somewhat her fault. "Maybe I was in the way even if I stepped aside," she pondered. She then thought about Jay when he would take care of her son. When he would hold him and play with him. The look in his eye was unmistakable. Jay loved her boy just as much as she loved baby Bray. However, the thought of losing Jay again scared her. She needed to speak to him before it was too late.
Jay was in his room getting ready for bed when there was a knock on the door. He pulled his tank-top on and walked over to the door. He opened it and saw that it was Amber standing there. Immediately he thought something was wrong with baby Bray. "Amber, is something wrong? Is Bray okay?" He asked.
"He's fine, Jay. I need to talk to you," she replied.
He held the door open for her. "Come in," he stated. She walked in and sat down on his bed as he sat in the chair. "What's going on?" He asked.
"Jay, I just came to tell you that I'm sorry about what happened between you and Trudy. I feel like I was in the way," she murmured.
"Amber, my breakup with Trudy wasn't your fault. What's really going on, Amber?" He asked.
She sighed as she leaned back against her hands. "Jay, I know that you love my son. I see it in your eyes. Whenever you hold him or play with him you get that look in your eye that I get every time I hold him or play with him," she explained. Jay let out a sigh as he listened to her. He did love that boy. He loved that baby more than anything just as much as he loved that baby's mother. That was one of the reasons why his relationship with Trudy fell apart, his heart was set on Amber still. "My son needs a father, Jay," she added. Jay looked at her with a slight grin.
"Are you proposing?" He asked.
Amber chuckled and shook her head. She then got down on her knees in front of him and took his hands in hers. She laced her fingers through his and looked up into his eyes. "Jay, Bray needs you," she replied. She then let one of his hands go and touched his cheek. "I need you," she confessed. Jay smiled and touched her hand before leaning forward and placing a kiss on her lips. Amber kissed him back before pulling at the hem of his shirt. He pulled back from the kiss only to remove his shirt, then he kissed her again. Before she could react, he placed her on his bed with him on top of her.
The next morning, Amber woke up and looked over at Jay to see that he was still asleep. She ran her fingers up and down his arm. A smile came across her lips as she remembered the night before. She loved ever touch and every kiss. She placed her head on his chest and sighed. She then felt his hand running circles on her back. "How long have you been awake?" He asked.
"Long enough," she replied.
She looked up to see him smiling at her. Amber then laced her fingers through his as she held his hand. "Do you have any regrets about last night?" He asked. She pulled herself up to his eye level and looked at him seriously.
"No, no regrets whatsoever," she replied.
They were quiet again. "Do you?" She asked. He stroked her cheek before answering.
"No regrets," he replied.
Amber smiled before Jay pulled her into another kiss.
Later that morning, Amber went to check on Bray with Jay right behind her. As she held her son in her arms, Jay was leaning against the wall. He was hoping that he'd have that with her. He dreamed of having that with her. All he wanted was Amber and Bray and he had both sitting right in front of him. Jay gave her a smile as she looked up at him with a gentle smile. He knew that everything was going to be just fine.
