Chapter 15

“When are you going to say it, baby?”

“Say what?” I asked James.

Finally, I had let him meet Sierra, and we were in San Diego, at Sea World. James had got us a room out there. Sierra was snoring in the bed across from us, while James cuddled with me in the other bed. It felt good, oh, so good, to finally have a man that cared about me.

Three months had passed since the whole gun situation, and I was back in school, I had graduated from Long Beach City College and was starting my first semester at Cal State, Dominguez Hills. I was able to get a job in their child development center as well. James was so proud of me. He had kept his word and had been treating me like a princess. Now it was nine months and counting that we had been together! Sierra had grown to care for James. I hoped he didn’t disappoint her.

“Look, it’s something you gotta give me time on,” I added.

He chuckled. “You know damn well you love me, girl. But I’ll give you all the time you need.” He reached over me and turned out the lamp. Then he held one arm in the air so I could lay my head on his chest. Man, I loved doing that! There was just something about waking up in a man’s arms. It made me feel safe, protected. Like I could be soft, vulnerable. As a single parent, it seemed like I always had to be strong, rigid.

When I felt my eyes get heavy and my body relaxing, I whispered, “James.”

“Yes, baby?”

“I do love you.” Then I drifted off to sleep.
