Love you all❤️


Nicolla's POV:


"He is...my son. " I muttered and James's lips turn into this small smile as he sighed.


"Oh, I didn't know that your married. I'm..." he hesitated with an awkward smile.


"I'm not married. " I quickly cut him shortly even before he could continue speaking.


"Oh, really. I don't really know that your a single mother. " he gave this satisfying smile as he heard me and I giggled.


What do all of his emotions means anyway?


"I need to start being used to, actually. " I replied as Jordan laid on my side again while this time, with his eyes closed.


"What? You need to start to get used to? " James curiously questioned as his right hand tighten around his cane. His face scrunched in confusion.


Aww, why is he so good looking right now?


"Nicolla, are you still there? " James called out for me in nervous and his hand flew on the air to touch my presence.


"I'm here. I'm here. " I assured him as I quickly grabbed his hand and he unintentionally intertwine our fingers.


Thank God, for him being blind and to my chocolate skin. Otherwise, he would have notice this deep blush on my cheeks.


I would have embarrassed myself.


"Urmm...I'm sorry. " I shied as I slowly untangle our fingers.


"No need to sorry. I...was startled when I thought that you left me without saying anything, maybe because of what I'm asking you about. " he explained with a relief smile playing on his lips.


"Oh, no. That's rude. I would never do that. Plus, I was....just thinking about some stuff while your were asking. " I lied of course because how could I tell him that he looks so attractive until I even lost my self in those charm.


"Alright, I will take that. But, can I know about why do you said like that just now? You know, the 'I need to start being used to' ? " he softly uttered with a hint of humour and I giggled again.


I looked at Jordan to get a glance of him and my heart warms as I found the baby boy sleeping peacefully while his little body snuggled closer to me.


With a kiss on his little head, I peered myself back to this handsome hunk and explained the story. For once, he was so patience and soft while taking in my rambling without even peering around nor distracting himself.


He gave in his full attention to my words as he slightly lean in to me.


I trust him with every words I uttered and I don't know why it's strange today that I got to feel this weird bounds with this two guys who's each either my sides.


"You have a very good heart, Nicolla. This little guy deserves love and your the right one. I'm proud of you to have such a thought. " he encouraged and complimented with his sweetest smile but I froze.


Tears rambled on my eyes as I listened to him. None on my entire life had made this compliment on me. I would be like encouraging or complimenting on my own to motivate myself.


His words made me to cry and I guess, he heard my sobs because his hand slowly clasped mine. His black glasses searching mine as his palms reached for my face and he grabbed it firmly in between his palms. His thumbs feeling the liquids as he wiped it away.


Why is he keep on making me to froze?


"Please, don't cry. I-I just....said about what I wanted to say. I...I don't know that it will effect you this way. " he sadly explained as he continue wiping away my tears.


"No, it's not that. Having compliments isn't usual for me. I'm...I'm just..." I was struggling to explain but James stopped me with soothing words to calm me down. I assured him that it was fine and he let go of me.


I felt this little body stirring beside me and Jordan looks up at me with halfly parted eyes while he rubbed them with his little hands. He was looking at me and then, his face turn into worry as his fingers reach up to my face.


Aww, he worries about me. I took those tiny fingers and placed it on my lips to peck it a little. He smiles and climbs on my side, hugging me closer.


"Nicolla, are you okay now? " James asked and I replied a, yes.


"I...I think this is my...stop then. " he said as he slowly stood up while the train halted in this station. He got really nervous as the door was about to open. He got prepared with his cane and walks over to the door with heavy feet as I was left out in confusion.


To my surprise, he walks back to me again before the door could open and stood right infront me.


"Nicolla, can I get your number? You know, I...I needed a friend like you. " he nervously asked and I giggled.


"Of course, you can. And...I don't mind being your friend, James. Give me your phone so that I could key in my number. " I asked politely and he gave it right away. I typed in my number and saved it as Nicolla.


"I had already saved it under my name. You can call me anytime if you needed to talk. " I said with a wide grin because a hot handsome hunk, just asked for my number.


With a final adoring smile, he left the train. His feature mirrored happiness as he walks away.


Did he feel the same special feeling that I got for him when he get my number? Or, am I dreaming?


Finally, switched number so what would happen next?
