Hope you like this one x
I walked out of my bedroom having just got dressed and ready for the day ahead of me. I was wearing dark blue skinny jean, black converse and a KISS T-shirt a had bought when I saw a gig of theirs last month. My hair really didn't need much work, has I had changed it from being long and wavy to shoulder length and straight as it was so much easier to manage. I didn't wear much make-up compared to some, just a little eye-liner and mascara. I never used to wear but I found it makes me feel a lot more confident and I am aware of how advertisement that sounds.
Jamie was sitting on the sofa watching the end of the DVD. I had insisted that he stop it half way through the movie to get dressed, and I can honestly say I have never seen him move so fast. I wondered over to the kitchen to clean up the dirty plates that we had just eaten strawberry pop tarts off.
We had decided not long ago that we were going to head to Central Park today and just have a general wonder round. I figured at some point then I would squeeze in the message from his Dad and see if he was ok with it. After all I still had no idea what Jamie's opinion on the woman was, but knowing him he would love her.
I was on the brink of disappearing into my own world again, when my little boy came bouncing into the kitchen. "Mama, the movie is over." he told me with a huge smile on his face.
"Ok baby, go grab your shoes and we will get going." He scampered off the way he had came to retrieve his shoes from behind the sofa.
The park was literally just across the road from my building and I could see it from out my windows. It was really something, a sea of green in the middle of a concrete labyrinth.
We hurried across the road with Jamie's hand in mine and Jake's dog lead in the other, weaving in between the many yellow cabs and rare other cars. When we made it across the road and into the park though I allowed Jamie to let go of my hand, because even though he was young it was still important to me to give him some independence. I hated the idea of smothering him and wrapping him in cotton wool, that's not how a childhood should be like in my opinion.
We had walked around for a while, Jamie talking animatedly the whole time. I listened intently has he described the movie this morning and why he loved it so much. When he had finished I was tempted to watch it myself. What can I say, the boy is destined to work in sales. We had also played fetch for around an hour as neither of them got bored of it. However after a while we found ourselves sitting on a bench overlooking the reservoir and I took my chance.
"Jamie, you remember your Daddy called me last night?" He nodded so I continued. "Well, he told me about getting married." I waited for a response now, hoping it would give me a clue into how the rest of this convostaion would go. But Jamie just sat there waiting for me to continue, with a deep breath I did. "He also said that him and this, Tanya are coming here to New York and they want to see both of us. What do you think?" Jamie looked up at me with wide eyes and let out a groan.
"Do we have to?" He asked me. So he didn't like them, it took everything I had not not to smile.
"Well why do you not want to then I will tell you if we have to or not."
"She is so annoying though! She is always spending all her time with Dad and making him send me to Grandma's house and she calls me James!" He said the end of his little rant like it was the worst thing in the world, so I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my lips.
"Listen sweetheart, it will only be one or two days and I will be with you every step of the way ok? Then we will do something really fun to make us feel better."
"Ok." He said still not sounding happy so I decided it was time to lighten up the mood.
"So, could I take her." I was right, he immediately started giggling.
"Defiantly mom."
"Good, because you know your mum is a real hard case. Just ask your Dad." I laughed, when all of a sudden I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I pulled it out and started at the screen. "Speak of the devil." I muttered before taking a deep breath and answering.
Sorry about the cliffhanger ending, so i am ot sure if the next chapter will be Edward and Bella face to face or just the phone convosation and heading toward that. What do you think?
Thanks so much for reading! x
