Chim- I'll teach you to love again

Chapter 31

I wake up to the smell of fresh coffee I get out of bed and look at the picture on my bedside table it is one of me and Cheryl before we told each other how we feel we are in the garden when we had a barbeque few months ago we are standing up she has an arm around my shoulders and I have my arm around her waist and with the lights from the garden they make Cheryl’s chocolate eyes shine beautifully we've been seeing each other for 2 months and I've never been happier , I smile at the picture and make my way down stairs were Nadine is sitting at the table with Justin
“morning Nadine, morning baby” I say kissing them both on the head I go to the kettle and turn it on when I see my phone on the table I pick it up and see I have two messages both from Cheryl
Message one
Hey baby I just got home hope you have sweet dreams . <3
Second message
Hey sweets how did you sleep, just wondering if you wanted to come round ? let me know I finish work at 12 today so text me after then <3
I smile at both texts I was tempted to text her saying I slept well because she was in my dreams but I decided against that I grabbed my cup of coffee and sit at the table
“Kimba is it alright if I take Justin with me when I go out with me mammy she wants to see him again” Nadine says
“yeah, yeah that’s fine babes I was going to go to Cheryl’s anyway so I was going to ask you if you wouldn’t mind looking after him for me” I smile
“okay then babes we are going to have fun today mister” Nadine says in her baby voice and I have a feeling she will be using it a lot when the baby is born
“okay” he smiles
“guess who’s birthday It is in 3 days?” I say holding my little boys hand he smiles wildly
“oh I don’t know do you Justin?” Nadine says
“its mine! It Justin’s” he says
“yeah” we both say and he continues to smile while eating his toast.

I get to Cheryl’s flat at just gone 1 just before I knock on the door it swings open and I see Cheryl wearing jogging pants and a tight vest top which shows off her cleavage and she is holding a rubbish bag
“hey baby just got to take this down and I will be back make yourself at home” she says kisses me on the lips and makes her way down the stairs I walk into the flat and sit on the sofa I look around the room and then I see the other room the one Nadine is talking about I wonder what is in there I think to myself I’m snapped out of my thought as I feel Cheryl sit on the sofa next to me I turn my head to look at her and I smile and I hug her
“hello you” she says I kiss her on the lips and smile
“hello to you too” I laugh
We sit and chat for a little while when I say
“you know I’ve never been with a woman before”
“well its not that much different from being with a man apart from the obvious” she laughs I laugh too
“I’ve never met anyone like you, you always make me smile, always make me laugh I wake up and your on my mind and your still on my mind when I go to sleep and then it starts again the next day, I love the feeling of being in lo……” she stops suddenly and I look at her and she is staring back at me with fear and panic in her eyes and my heart is pounding in my chest at what she was saying and what she was going to say
“why did you stop speaking?” I say quietly
“what was you going to say?” I say bringing a hand up to cup her cheek she closes her eyes and breaths in deep and breaths out and looks me In the eye
“I love the feeling of being in love with you, and it scares me because I’ve never felt this feeling before” she says I smile at her words but I cant find my voice to say anything I don’t know what to say
“I know it is scaring being in a relationship with a woman so I want to know are you scared?” she says and shake my head and she says
“I know I’m terrified because I’ve just opened my chest and showed you my heart”.
