“Are you okay?” Jim asks, pulling his hands away from me.“I just want to cuddle you, I’m not comfortable” I sayJim face turns into a frown but he quickly hides it… I knew I had just stopped an amazing pleasure but a part of me changed my mind and just wanted to have him lie beside me.“Okay, let’s go and have our bath princess” Jim says, smiling sadly.Jim and I share a silent understanding that a warm shower is exactly what we need. The bathroom becomes a sanctuary of shared intimacy, where the stresses of the day can be washed away. With a playful exchange of glances, we step into the inviting cascade of warm water.The steam envelops us, creating a cocoon of privacy and tranquility. Jim's hands gently explore the curve of my back as the water cascades over us. The sensation is soothing, a tactile connection that goes beyond words.

Jim tells me, leading me out of the house and into the car."Oh Nicholas" I say in excitement, surprised that I'm excited."The last time I was here, I thought we had a chance, but with that" he says, pointing to my stomach "I guess I'm single" Nicholas teases"I'll blow you Nicholas," Jim teases."Hey hey hey man! I was just kidding, thought you would be cool by now" Nicholas laughs.The engine roars to life as Nicholas drives us to the hospital.I can't help but feel a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. The rhythmic hum of the engine and the passing scenery provide a calming backdrop to the moment. Jim glances at me with a reassur
Nicholas drives into the compound, and I feel a sense of ease wash through me, the doctor's appointment that I feared was not so bad after all.Jim and I walk into the house, and the house is quiet.“Is your mum around?” I ask Jim“Yeah, she’s probably in her room, sleeping or doing something” Jim replies.Jim and I head upstairs, and I lay lazily on the bed.“I would have suggested we go out but I guess I’m just too lazy, so how about we watch a movie together, just you and I” Jim smiles at me“With popcorn?” I ask“No princess, you need to eat healthy and I’m going to be here to enforce that” Jim tells“Urghhh babe!! Fine, but if I don’t get to have popcorn, you don’t get to have it either” I say“Yeah, wasn’t craving it anyway” Jim tells me“So what movie?” I ask“Make a choice princess, you’re the one in charge”“Alright, it’s going to be a romance film, so don’t cringe too hard” I giggle, going through the Netflix selection.“I don’t mind, watching it with you is genuinely all th
“That’s my mom” I scream, walking towards the picture frame, placing it in my hands and tracing around the outline of my mother.My eyes fixate on the photograph, a captured moment of Mrs. Dan and her mother. The frame holds a history that begs to be unraveled, and curiosity compels me to seek for answers.Taking a breath, I turn toward Mrs. Dan, my voice is steady but filled with intrigue and laced with pain "Mrs. Dan, I noticed the picture of you and my mother. How did you two know each other?"A nostalgic smile graces Mrs. Dan's face as she gazes at the photograph.“Oh your mother, no wonder you mistook me for your mother, oh how I miss this beautiful soul” Mrs Dan cries“Please I want to know more about my mother” I say, there’s a sharp pain in my chest that is accompanied with a hint of happiness, that comes with Jim’s mom knowing about my mom"Your mother, she was an extraordinary woman. We met so many years ago, at a charity event. There was an instant connection. She had this
My footsteps echo on the staircase as I make my way back to Jim's room. My heart is still aflutter from the revelations shared with his mother. How could she have known my mom? It's a question that lingers in my mind.Pushing open the door, I find Jim sitting on the bed, a concerned look in his eyes. "Hey," he greets, patting the space next to him. "Everything okay?"I take a seat, and a deep breath escapes me. "Yeah, it's just... I had a conversation with your mom. She knew my mom, Jim. They were friends."Jim's eyebrows shoot up in surprise. "Really? That's... wow. Small world, huh?"A bittersweet smile plays on my lips. "Yeah. She even showed me pictures. I had no idea they were so close. It's kind of comforting, you know?"He reaches for my hand, offering silent support. "I'm here for you, Ana. Whatever you need.""Thanks, Jim," I reply, squeezing his hand gratefully.Before I leave the room, I decide to put my swirling emotions into something productive. And I place a soft kiss o
"Such a great meal mom, I sure missed your cooking" Jim smiles, wiping his hands and getting up from the table."Not so fast young lad, we're going to have an in house movie night. Okay?" Mrs Dan says and I try to not sigh at the thought of watching yet another movie without popcorn"I'm exempted, right mom?" I smile sheepishly“Hehe, nice try Ana, we’re all going to watch a movie together, something from my generation, not yours” she smiles back at me“But mom, that’s a bit unfair, don’t you think, what’s the fun if there’s no fun snacks involved” I say“She’s not wrong, I mean we both just watched movies with our mouths being as dry as fuck” Jim interjects.“Language young one” his mom says“But he’s right mom” I add“Well then, I’ll tell Vanessa to go pop some corn and give it to us” she says, signaling Vanessa, who is one of the helps and she quickly gets to work“Make some for yourself too” Mrs Dan tells Vanessa and she smiles“Thank you ma”I go over to the living room, waiting

Jim, Mrs. Dan, and I share our favorite moments, each of us recounting scenes with vivid detail and animated commentary.Mrs. Dan chuckles, "That Madea movie is always a riot, isn't it? Jim, did you see how Anastasia nearly fell off the couch laughing?"Jim grins, "Yeah, Madea never fails to crack us up.
