Enough For Him

I locked my car and walked up to my mom’s house. she was taking care of Jason whilst I went to some important meetings about my book.

I just wanted to see my boy.

” is that you Lizzy” I heard moms voice from the lounge. I kicked off my shoes and placed my bag on the table before heading towards her voice.

I expected to see Jason babbling on, seeing him running around the house but it was like he wasn’t here.

Mom sat next to Jayson on the carpet as he stared at the Tv as a cartoon was playing.

” have you tired him out, is that why youre so quiet” I said jokingly as I bent down to kiss my moms cheek and then I bent further to reach jay but instead of him leaning into my touch he actually moved away.

I glanced at mom but she just sighed.

” He wont eat or play I haven’t had a word from him since your brother left” I glanced at jayson seeing him staring at the screen. His face wasn’t his usual adorable smile.

Is my baby already going through mood swings, is he maturing quickly or something.

I crawled over to him kneeling before him.

” Hey baby, whats wrong my little man” I said stroking his hair, hoping that I get some kind of interaction from him. He moved his eyes over to mine.

My eyes widened when I saw the faint movement of his lip before it shook. This was the most obvious sign that my baby was going to burst into tears.

” I don’t know” mom says just as confused as I am.

Jay finally broke letting his tears fall as he screamed. I instantly picked him up bringing him close. I gently rubbed his tiny back letting his head rest onto me.

” whats wrong buddy, tell mommy so I can make you better. Did you miss mommy sorry I couldn’t spend all day with you” I said hoping that the problem would be as easy as that and I wouldn’t have to worry.

But he just continued to cry.

I went back to what mom said earlier that he was like this when my brother left. Maybe he misses some boy time. Ive noticed that jayson loves to play with boys. Whether its boys his age, my brother or…

” is it daddy, do you miss daddy” I said leaning back and watching his eyes.

I wasn’t overly surprised when his cries suddenly stopped.

” that’s it isn’t baby, you miss daddy. You haven’t seen him in a longtime” I patted his back as he tried his best to calm down the sobs.

I sighed sparing a look at my mom who could only look at me sympathetically.

” okay buddy, we will go see daddy today. Will you calm down now” he didn’t give me a real answer he just placed his head on my shoulder.

I didn’t even know if he was back from travelling, but right now saying that is the only way to calm my baby down.

When I placed him back down he wasn’t back to his usual self but he was much better.

I joined mom on the sofa. ” if only I knew that I would’ve taken him to Leon or at least called him” mom said as we stared at jayson on the carpet. He was playing with one of his favourite toys.

I shook my head ” its hard to know what jayson feels. He’s reserved and doesn’t show his feelings” I told her. She stared at me.

“wonder where he gets that from” she commented giving me a sly look.

Shes right he defienetly gets that from me. the cheeky fun side was definitely from his father.

Flashback

“I’m studying Leonnnnn” I yelped as I was carried out of the library by Leon. We both had exams coming up but obviously I had to actually do work since Leon over here is a genius.

He jumped down the steps of school making my body hit against his not that I was complaining.

” you’ve been studying all week, I haven’t spent time with you at all” he sulked finally dropping me down back onto my two feet.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

I was kind of dizzy so he slipped his hand around my waist.

“Thats because nobody knows we’re a couple Leon, people are going to start talking now” I hit him. Only then did I start looking around praying that nobody saw Leon get real hansy with me.

He crashed his forehead to meet mine. ” let them talk lizzy, I’m not embrassed at all” he pinched at my sides making me scream. I had to slam my hand down on my mouth shutting me up.

Damon, who was walking out of the gym stared over. I pushed away from Leon. I watched Leon glare over at me but he just waved damon off as he grabbed my arm pulling me behind a wall.

It would conceal us from people outside but if anyone was the classroom next to us they would see us.

” cmon just one kiss. Do you know how frustrating it is to wait till after school for a simple kiss when I see you all day, you don’t know how much I would I love to kiss those rosy lips” I placed my finger on his lips stopping him from doing anything.

He smiled through my finger.

” you better stop otherwise you’ll be waiting much longer” I said turning my head.

He grabbed my neck bringing me close ” did Mrs Charlize just roll her eyes at me” he wagged his finger infornt of my face. “that’s not very nice at all”

I slapped his hand away. even though I was trying to stay mad at him I couldn’t help the smile that appeared. Leon saw it instantly.

” Fine, don’t kiss me” he instantly switched personalitites walking away towards the school.

I watched him from behind as he walked confidently. He even went as far as saying hello to some girls who swooned waving at him.

He saw a girl who we both knew from English. He angled his head towards her. Don’t you dare Leonardo.

He send her a flirty wink.

I rolled my lips into my mouth. The nerve of this guy.

I ran after him as he disappeared inside. Luckily the hallway was clear of students.

I heard him whistling as he leisurely walking through the halls.

Ii finally caught up to him, I grabbed his hood pulling him back. He spun on his converse heel.
