Me - dada wake up

He laid in nothing but his boxers on my fluffy sheets

I poked his little chest and laughed at how he acted like I didn't just tell his ass to get up .

Me - Harlem Brewster I warned as he pulled me close to his body

My son was now a big 3 and he was so smart

I moved my head out his tiny hands and kissed his face

Me - if you don't get up , I won't let you play in the bubbles with mommy

His eyes shot open and he smiled

I led him to the bathroom of my 2 bedroom apartment and ran his bubble bath .

Now a couple years later , I was 20 .
I had a job at the nursing home and did what I did on the side .

I was maintaining and kept to myself .

Harlem played in the bubbles and blabbered to me about cars .

We got dressed , ate and I had to take him to daycare while I worked

Harlem - mom I no want to go here to-day

Me - mommy has work I pouted Harlem you'll have fun with your friends

His face lit up and I smiled

Work flew by fast and I got off early around 3:15 pm

I found myself over my boo house .
We wasn't official because I didn't want a title . He knew what was up , just like I did .

I sat in the bathroom while he showered , watching him through the see through curtains .

When I came , his door was open for me and I found him in the shower .

I've been missing him so I decided to sit and talk to him .

John was my sweetheart

When I was with him nothing was wrong and everything was perfect .

He didn't know about my past or what I went through . He wasn't in the streets and had a real job .

He was just precious .

In a way he was an escape from my past .

My past wasn't a secret , I just don't bring it up .

He stood letting the water hit his neck and drip down his body

He looked at me and caught my eyes

John - join me ?

I shook my head no and he smiled

John - why pretty face ?

Me - my makeup

John - my makeup he mocked and I laughed
