Love Just Not Enough

 

 

 

 

 I woke up because of sounds coming from the kitchen, when I walk out of my bedroom down our little hallway and into the kitchen. There I saw the cutest sight to be seen. Jayden standing on his tippy toes on top of a chair trying to hold on to the gallon of milk and pouring it carefully into the bowl of cereal, with a very serious look on his face. I couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. " mom don't laugh, go sit at the table breakfast almost ready " how can a four year old act like he the parent, I went over and help him finish and brought the bowls over to the table and we both sat down to eat.

" Are you ready for your first day of school Jay" all I got in response was a nod, I knew he was nervous. He is rarely quite and would have so much energy all the time that it was hard to keep up with. " look baby, you'll be fine and make a lot of friends " I pulled him onto my lap and kiss every inch of his face till he giggle " mommy stop... I'm not a baby anymore, I'm a man now stop with your mushy stuff " I frown at him " you'll always be my baby " I gave him one last kiss on his cheek and we both finish our breakfast and got ready for the day.

As we got closer to his school, I was the one who got nervous instead and Jay seem to be the opposite he was pulling me to go faster. We reach the school and I went inside to met his teacher.

" Hi you must be Jayden's mother, nice to meet you I'm Dami and I'll be his teacher " I turn around to see the owner of that voice and stood there was a beautiful woman with long black hair and big dolls eyes. She pretty much would be the Korean version of Barbie. " Hi, yes I'm his mom. My name is Yolanda, nice to meet you too " she shook my hand and bend down to pat Jay on the head. She told Jayden where to put his belonging and go meet his classmate first. Before I could even say bye he ran off toward a group of girls. Tsk I smile and shake my head, the teacher lead me over to a seat and we sat down " he seem to not be shy at all " I turn back around to see the teacher smiling while looking at the children play. " I glad he back to his upbeat self, he had me worry this morning when he was so quite" I felt her hand pat my back " I know it can be scary being in a different country and have everything your so used to change, but he seem to be doing just fine adjusting ". " Well as long as he happy, I'm happy"  I stood up in front of the teacher and bow a 90 degree " please take care of him for me" " of course I will " she bow back.

" I know you guys are new to Korea and being such a young mom as well so if you need anything just let me know " I smile " thank you " feeling good that Jay has such a caring teacher to look after him, most people who see me and Jayden would give me one of their judgmental stare.

" Mommy " I heard Jay yell and when I saw him dragging a little girl with pig tail behind him as he ran over to me " look, she my girlfriend her name is Hana " he smile at me so proudly that he already got a friend. " Wow really, that great " I bend down and kiss him on his cheek, he groan and wipe my kiss with his small hand " not in front of Hana mom, so embarrassing " he mumble. I ignore him and turn to the little girl " Hi Hana, you look very pretty, are you sure you want to go out with my son " " MOM " I started laughing as Jay stomp his foot in protest " I'm just kidding, I hope you can be a good friend to him " I told the little girl. " Yes unni " than they ran off to play. " Guess we're going to be in law soon " I stood up and look at the teacher with a confuse look, she giggle " Hana that's my daughter " " Really, well I can see where she get her look from than " 

Class was starting so I had to leave, but before I did Jayden ran up to me a hug the life out of me. I got worried that he didn't want to stay, but was surprise when he kiss me on the cheek " I'll be good mommy, don't worry about me and have a good day at work, I'll be here when you pick me up " than he shove me out the door. Who was the parent again?

I was offer once in a life time job as a stylish for Vogue Korea, when I was working for Vogue in America as a assistant to the editor in chief there, she said she saw a lot of herself in me and recommended me for the position when it was open. I jump at the chance, who wouldn't. I would get to do what I love and getting paid a lot more, so me and Jay can live comfortably. It has been a week so far since we move from the States.  

When I reach the office, I had to go to a meeting right away. They were discussing about the next issue and who to be on the cover. Names were being thrown around but I haven't heard any of these celebrity that they name, so I was clueless when they decided on a guy name G-Dragon. Once they had chose him, the stylish was to put together ideas and concept for the shoots. 

The stylish team consist of 5 people me, Mina a Korean girl with a short black bob hairdo, Lexy a London native with long blonde hair 5' 10 tall, Suzy another Korean girl but with brown wavy hair, and Jin a Chinese man who in my eyes to pretty to be a guy. We all sat in the conference room discussing ideas, but none of us could come up with an idea that we all like. So we decided to take a break, Mina and Suzy was talking about how they can't wait to meet G-Dragon and was gushing over him like school girls. " He just another guy " they both snap their head in my direction and stare at me like I was an alien " he is not just a guy he is god, every girl in Korea dream guy " Mina grab both of my shoulder as she spoke. " Oh come on isn't that a bit much " I laugh " their exaggerating a bit, but he is one fine piece of " Jin commented from across the table, both Mina and Suzy nodded their head quickly agreeing. The day pass with us finally agreeing on a concept and the girls still going crazy over the fact that their going to meet G-Dragon.

I was running a little late to pick up Jay, hopefully he won't be mad at me. I was rushing and didn't look where I was running and ran right into something hard " ouch " I complain as I stood up and rub a head " are you okay " I just than realize I must of ran into his back. I didn't answer him as I was still rubbing my forehead. He grab my wrist to stop me and the moment his skin touch mine I immediately look at him and I saw the most beautiful human being ever, he had bleach blond almost white hair that was sticking out under his black beanie and he has a sharp jawline with very pretty pink lips. I couldn't see his eyes because they were hiding behind a pair of big black sunglass. 

" Your head look fine " I snap out of my trance and notice he was still holding my wrist while his other hand was rubbing my forehead. " sorry, I wasn't looking I was in a hurry " I was able to say a full sentence. " No problem " he let go of my wrist and step aside for me to pass. I bow a little and made it to Jay classroom. When I walk in the room I saw him and Hana at a desk drawing. I walk over to Jay and he look up and saw me " look... look at what I drew for you " showing me his drawing. " Wow what a cool drawing, I wish I could draw like that " a man voice cut in and I knew who that voice belong to but I didn't want to turn around and face him so instead I focus on Jay. " Uncle Ji, what are you doing here " I heard Hana asked the man. He pick her up and spun her around and kissing her cheeks " I miss you " the man put down Hana " you should come around more often if you miss her so much " the teacher appear from behind us, she than hug the man " sorry you know how it is " he release the teacher from the hug. 

I didn't want to intrude on their moment so I bend down to Jay and help him pack his stuff " what do you want to have for dinner tonight " "pizza " he answer without a second thought " no we had pizza yesterday already, how about we go to the store and we'll get stuff so I can cook for you " Jay look at me with are you serious face, I laugh and pinch his cheek " I'm not that bad of a cook, I think I'm getting better " " we both know half way through it you're going to give up and just order pizza " I sigh, knowing he most likely right " fine fine fine, pizza it is " he jump up and down in  joy that he got his way and hug Hana and the teacher goodbye and bow to the man, and drag me out the room as I was waving goodbye to the teacher. " Wait Yolanda " I stop when I heard the teacher call for me " since your new and I really think we will get along very well how about I invite you over for dinner as a welcome to Korea kind of thing " " umm I would love to but I don't want to intrude on your family time " she bend down and ask if Jayden would want to come over her place and have dinner, of course Jay wouldn't turn it down.

Now I'm sitting in this guy car driving to Dami place " my name is Jiyong by the way " I look up and saw him staring at me from the rearview mirror. " Oh how can I forget to introduce you too, she Yolanda and that is her son Jayden and this is my younger brother " she patted his shoulder " ah... hi " not knowing what else to say. The ride there was fill with chatter about how their day was mostly from Dami and the kids, while I stay quite and just listen.

When we reach Dami place. I unbuckle Jayden and was about to open the door but Jiyong already had it open for me. I step out of the car " thanks " he just smile at me showing his perfect white teeth and walk toward the front door I just follow behind him while Jay ran ahead and held onto Hana hand. 

Once inside the kids ran to go play, while Dami was already in the kitchen starting to cook. I insisted on helping her since I didn't want to be left alone with Jiyong, for some reason he just make me nervous and I didn't like that feeling. He was sitting on the breakfast bar and I was cutting up some veggie but I can feel him burning a hole in my face from staring at me. " I'm not doing heart surgery, there no need for you to stare so hard " I look up to find a fluster look on his face, he must of thought I didn't notice him staring. " I... I was not, just wanted to see if your doing the correct job " I rolled my eyes at his answer " I'm serious, look your not even cutting them all the same size " I glare at him, but he just glare back at me. " Enough, I thought there was only two kids in the house not four, and Jiyong she's doing fine stop being a perfectionist " I smile at him in victory and he just stick his tongue out in retaliation.

The dinner went on without either one of us saying anything else to each other. I meet Dami's husband, he was a lawyer at a big law firm. After dinner was over Dami insisted that Jiyong give me a ride home because it to late for me and Jay to be taking the bus home ourselves.

The ride home was a silent one since Jayden fell asleep. " So... your new to Korea? " " yea"  reply trying to keep it short. " So you don't know who I am? " does he think I'm stupid " your Dami's brother Jiyong " he turn and look at me and raise one of his eyebrow and than he laugh " yeah... that me " " weirdo " I mumble. When we got to my apartment I thank him and got out and got my sleeping son from the backseat of the car. When I turn around he grab Jay from me and started walking inside the building. I ran after him " what are you doing, I can take it from here, you can go home now thank you " I attempt to grab Jay back but he dodged it and walk into the lift " what floor " he asked I glare at him a press the 10th floor.

When I open my apartment door he just walk in like he live here. He lucky he holding Jayden or else I would of trip him. He turn to me and I lead him to Jayden room. He put Jay down on the bed and I took off his shoes and tuck him in and kiss him goodnight. I turn around to find Jiyong not in the room. I closed the door quietly and went to look for him so I can kick him out. I find him looking at the picture of me and Jay hanging on the wall " he really cute " he turn to me and smile " thanks and thank you for taking us back, it late you should get going " I try not to come off rude " I only get a thank you " he tilt his head to one side and pout " what do you want " I got to the point, so he can leave and I could take a hot bath and sleep. " Well... coffee would do " I sigh and went into the kitchen and I could hear him following right behind me, I started making the coffee and went to get the mug on the top self but was having trouble reaching it. I don't even know why I put these thing so high, I stretch up on my tippy toes when I felt his chest press against my back and one of his hand place on my waist. I froze still in my spot, he grab the mug I was reaching for " here " I can feel his hot breath on my neck as he spoke and he place the mug in front of me. I turn around and he was still close to me, I place my hand on his chest a push him a little so we can have space between us. 

I gave him his coffee " you didn't get one for yourself " he asked as he sat down on the sofa and patted the space next to him telling me to sit down. I reluctantly sat down but giving us a lot of space in between us " it's late " that all I said, he nodded his head took a sip of his drink and lean his head on the sofa closing his eyes. I took this time to study his profile, he look so beautiful with his flawless skin, even if he has dark circle under his eyes a little stubble under his chin, he is still breath taking perfect. I just realize that I have been staring at him for some time now " hey are you sleeping... earth to Jiyong " I shook his shoulder but no response so I shook him harder. " Hmmm... sorry did I fall asleep " he rub his eyes, I felt bad for him, he seem really like he haven't got any sleep in awhile. " You can sleep here, I don't want you to fall asleep while your driving "

I got up and went into the closet and grab a couple of blanket and pillow for him. When I return I saw him taking off his jacket and placing it on the other sofa. " Would you like something to change into " he smile at me and I left to go grab a pair of sweat pant and the biggest shirt I own, he pretty skinny so he should be able to fit these. I gave him the cloths and show him the bathroom, while he was changing, I started to set up the blanket and pillow for him on the couch. " Thanks for the cloths " I turn around to find him rubbing the back of his neck looking at the floor. He sat down on the sofa and I said goodnight and turn around to leave to my room when he grab my wrist. " What now " I said annoyed and just wanted to go to bed " I'm not really sleepy anymore, how about you stay up with me and talk " " just watch tv if you can't sleep " I try to pull away but his grip just got tighter. We just stare at each other to see who would give in first and of course I didn't want to loose, but when he pout those god damn lips of his. I had already lost, I sat down in defeat and he smile at me showing all his gums, I couldn't help but laugh and threw a pillow in his face. We spent the next couple hours talking about pretty much anything under the sun but we didn't really get into detail about our personal lives. I didn't even notice that we were sitting so close, both of us were sitting Indian style on the sofa facing each other knees touching.

The sunlight the came through window started to wake me, but I didn't want to get up so I snuggle my face closer to my pillow trying to get away from the light, but today my pillow seem harder than usual and it had this weird but addictive scent to it, it make you want to breath more of it in. "Stop moving... I'm still sleepy " I nearly had a heart attack and jump up at the sound of a men.

" WHAT THE  " I yell as I landed on the floor hitting my head again. Than it all came back to me I let Jiyong stay the night and we stay up talking and we must of fell asleep on the couch. Jiyong lifted himself on his elbow and rub his eyes with one hand " you don't have to be so loud in the morning you know " he said in a teasing tone. " Shut up it your fault I fell " he was about to say something but than we heard someone clearing their throat. We both look in the direction of the sound to find my son standing there tapping his foot with his arms folding over his chest, eyebrows knotted together " do you want to explain... or do I have to ask " he said in his serious voice. Me and Jiyong look at each other and than back at Jayden.
