Chapter 28

Gem

My head felt like it was going to explode at any microsecond but I had a huge smile on my face. Sunglasses would hide the dark circles under my eyes, but nothing could hide my euphoric mood.

Ah, love. I had forgotten what it could do to a girl. Wait! What? Love?

What was I talking about?

This wasn’t love after three dates. Was it?

No.

Lust.

That’s what it was. Lust.

Was it?

Crap.

Elle and I had finally arrived home, tired, sore and worse for wear. We had left Abi with Jamie. Her flirtatious looks to him meant he wasn’t going to get much sleep either but I’m sure he wouldn’t complain. I covered Linda with a blanket after she had fallen asleep on the sofa and left Elle at her side.

After approximately two hours of sleep, I woke Theo, bathed him and left the house for his first official training session with Josh. I couldn't help but laugh at the parallels of my life. Last night I had lost the responsibilities that had been my priority for years. Not just my children—although knowing they were in Linda's care helped me to relax—but also the chains of the mundane.

Everyday routines.

Everyday roles.

The expectations of how a mum should act all lost for one night but with the knowledge that I would willingly pick them up again in the morning. Josh had given me many things over the last couple of months, but a few hours of pure freedom and a strong feeling of being worthy had been his biggest gifts.

Theo had talked incessantly about Josh’s football club since the taster session. After much backwards and forwards debate that left me wanting to wax Jay’s eyebrow off in one clean swoop, he finally agreed to pay for Theo to attend the weekly football sessions.

We enrolled along with most of the boys from Theo’s class. Josh was proving to be an extremely popular member of the school community, and I didn’t mean from just the kids in his class. I couldn’t fail to notice as we walked towards the football pitch that there were quite a few mums sitting on the sidelines watching a certain handsome teacher.

Linda and Elle had agreed to watch Brandon for me this morning. We had treated the morning as some precious ‘Mummy and Theo' time. It didn't happen often. Brandon was like a cling-on most of the time, which made it hard to get any one-on-one time with Theo. We went to the shops beforehand, where he chose a chocolate bar and bottle of water. He was proudly wearing his new football boots, and as I listened to them clack against the pavement as we got closer to the pitch, I saw him.

Josh.

The vision in grey jogging shorts.

He was playing keepy-uppy with a group of kids who were absolutely enthralled. Not even a YouTube video of a child unboxing toys would drag them away. Their mums were just as captivated. Fuck, even a few dads were too. It was understandable when I saw what he was wearing.
