It's Always Been You

Twenty-Three

Jason's POV
Chelsea and I are sitting in the back porch, drinking our morning coffee. We have the baby monitor, sitting on the table next to the porch swing, just in case little man wakes up. "I've missed these quiet mornings." Chelsea says, taking a sip of her coffee. "I know, me too. But having little man is worth the loss." I look over at her with a smile and she leans up and places her los softly on mine. "I love for those." Chelsea says, as she pulls away. "Your lips taste just as sweet as they always did." I tell her with a smirk and a wink. "Jase, you kissed me like twice in high school. And they were only pecks. That's not enough to taste anything." She says, rolling her eye with a laugh. "Those were my two of the best pecks I ever had." I hear a cry through the baby monitor and smile. "Looks like quiet time is over." I say. "Chelsea sets her coffee down and walks inside to get the baby.

I make my way inside and put the coffee mugs in the sinks and head into the living room. Chelsea comes in with Memphis, and sets him down in his little pillow on the couch. "Good morning little man." I say to him before leaning down and kissing his head. I look up at Chelsea and she has the biggest smile on her face. "What?" I ask her confused. "Nothing. It's still just so unreal to me that we are parents. He is three months old now, and it still takes me a minute to realize that I'm not dreaming." She tells me, the smile never leaving her face.

Chelsea's POV
I'm on the couch feeding Memphis, when there is a knock on the door. "Jase, will you get the door please?!" I yell towards the kitchen, where Jason is cleaning up from lunch. I hear the door open and Jason mumble. "Uh......Chelsea, you may want to get in here." Jason calls to me from the door. I adjust Memphis in my arms and make my way to the front door. "What are you doing here?" I ask, when I see Cameron standing at the door. "Chelsea, I'm here to apologize. I know that it's a year too late but this needed to be done." Cameron says with a smile. "Look, I do appreciate the apology but I don't like that you just showed up at our house. I also think that you owe Jason and apology for making him feel uncomfortable and crossing a line." I say, handing Memphis over to Jason. "You're right. Jason, I'm sorry that I made you feel uncomfortable, and that I tried to make a move on you. I crossed a line." "Thanks Cameron. I think you need to leave though. I don't think it's ok you showed up uninvited." Jason says as he turns to walk away. "Jase, I'm going to talk to her outside for a minute." He nods his head and I lead Cameron back to her car.

"Listen, I don't know what your plan is, and what you think is going to happen. Just because you apologized, doesn't mean we are friends. I don't trust you, and I don't want you around my husband or my son. I'm sorry, but I just can't. Not yet." I tell Cameron as we stand next to her car. "I guess I understand. I think you are being a little over dramatic but I probably would be too. I don't have any plan, I honestly just missed my friend. I was hoping we could move on." Cameron says, wiping a tear. "I just need time to think ok. And I need to talk to Jason. You crushed me with what you did. If I decide to let you back in, it's going to take a long time to gain my trust." Cameron nods her head and gets in her car. I watch her drive off before going in the house.

Uh oh! Cameron is back! Should Chelsea let her back in? (Refer to chapter 9 if you need a reminder) Let me know what you think. Trust her or no?
