Chapter 7 (Jayson's POV)

(I just added in this picture above cause I just think they're so cute 💓) 

I felt a familiar figure slide into bed with me cuddling up to me. He always did this in the morning when I was still here. I smiled as I lifted up the cover and saw a small face with a mess of hair looking up at me. "Good Morning Duce" Good Morning daddy"

"Did you sleep alright " I asked

"Yeah I did I had a dream that I was flying on a giant cookie that never ran out no matter how much I ate"

"Duce is all you think about is food? I swear you are so silly" I said as I tickled him slightly, us playing around for a bit until last night popped in my head and I realized Indi was still here.

"Duce I think Ms. Teressa is cooking breakfast why don't you go see if she is done and imma go get Ms. Quint okay?"

"Alright daddy" He hopped off the bed and headed downstairs. I slipped on a pair of grey sweats and a shirt before I went down the hall to the guest bedroom. I didn't know what I was going to say to Indi but I knew I should at least start with an apology. I rubbed the back of my neck ,stressed knowing this wouldn't be an easy conversation. I knocked softly on the door and called for Indi but I got no answer. "Is she still asleep? '' I thought to myself. I knocked again a lil louder and called for her again and still got no answer. The door was unlocked and I opened it slowly to see if Indi was still asleep. As I went in I saw the bed was neatly made and the clothes I left for her last night to sleep in were folded on the bed. "Indi where are you at?" I called but I got no answer from the bedroom. I went into the bathroom but she wasn't there either. I went and looked out the window towards the driveway, the rain had cleared and the sun was slightly shining but her car wasn't there. She had left just like that, I didn't even hear her go this morning. She had everything put away like she wasn't ever here. I went and sat on the bed in frustration and confusion. Like I knew I had messed up a lil by making a move on her so fast but I didn't fuck up that bad that she just had to leave like that I thought. As I moved to get my phone out of my pocket and text her, I saw a note fall to the floor with my name on it. Must have not noticed when I first walked in. I picked up the note and it was Indi's handwriting for sure I noticed from the various forms we had signed together. But what I read on the note made my breath hitch in my throat.

Jayson-

Thank you for having me over to wait out the storm. I appreciate your hospitality, but last night in the kitchen was a mistake. I would appreciate it if we keep our relationship professional and forget it happened. And for future reference it would be better when I have my lessons with Duce, we are left alone and you only interact when necessary. It would make me feel more comfortable about the situation. But if it's an issue, it's not a problem to remove myself from the in-home instruction program all together. I hope you can understand. -Indigo Quint

"What the hell!" I slightly shouted. So nothing last night mattered to her like that. I flopped back on the bed not believing what I just read.
