A family of her own

Chapter 9

Chapter 9Marcus’ pov

I looked at Maddie she was so beautiful. I couldn’t believe how far we would have gone if Jaylah hadn’t of woken up. I really like Maddie, so I don’t want to rush into anything. I just didn’t want her to think that I am rejecting her.

“Hey sorry about.”

“Is everything okay?”

“Yes, she was just having a bad dream. She’s back to sleep now.”

“Ok Marcus about earlier. I think we need to slow it down a bit.”

“I agree. I really like you Maddie, and I want to take this slow.”

“I’d like that.”

I pulled her into me and just held her. I was scared moving on would feel weird, but it didn’t. Being with Maddie felt normal. She was an amazing woman. I was glad she came into my life. She took all the pain and emptiness in my heart away.

She won’t take the place of Jaylah’s mother, but I loved the fact that she wasn’t even trying. She just wanted to be a part of our lives.

“Maddie I am so glad you have come into our lives. I know this may be pushing it, but I would love to make whatever this is exclusive. I am a one-woman type of man, and I want that woman to be you.”

“I would like that, but what do you think Jaylah would say. I want her to be happy as well.”

“My daughter already loves you.”

“Okay then yes.”

I kissed her again. This time we laid by each other on the couch. It started to get hot and heavy again. I wanted her so dang bad. I was having a hard time pulling away. I started to think of a future with Maddie.

I heard from one of the mothers that Maddie couldn’t have children. That didn’t bother me. I had Jaylah and I knew Maddie would be good for her. She will make both of us happy.

“Marcus I better go before we go too far again.”

As much as I didn’t want her to go, I knew she was right.

“Your right.”

I walked her to the door and gave her a kiss good night. I asked her to come over for lunch tomorrow. I couldn’t wait to see her again. I felt alive again, and it was all because of my beautiful Maddie. She was healing me in a way I didn’t know was possible. I thought I would be lonely forever. She was like a breath of fresh air.

Having her in my arms felt right. Was it possible for a person to have two soul mates? I was already falling for her. I hoped she felt the same. From the way the kiss went I think she did, but I could be reading way to much into it. I felt like a school boy with his first crush. She made me nervous and question everything.

I used to think I was the s**t when I was younger. Now I didn’t know how to act. I was scared to make a move. I just needed to calm down and relax before I blew this before it even started.
