“I promise if you let me in after Eli's gone to sleep that I won't keep you awake all night.”
I know I'm gonna give in, hot sex with a seriously hot guy when I haven't had sex for six years? I’d have to be mad to turn him down.
“Fine,” I sigh the word as though it’s a hardship to agree with him “but we need to sleep some, yeah?”
“I promise, now come here and kiss me again.” I like this playful affectionate Jack. I want him to stay. I do as he asks.

“Mummy, mummy, Jack is knocking at the door.”
I go to the door and see Jack and smile. It's only a few hours since he left and still my stomach flutters. It's early on Saturday and I'm taking Eli to the aquarium. When I mentioned it to Jack last night he said he wanted to come and spend the day with us, so we agreed if he turned up for breakfast, knowing how much Eli would love it, he would probably ask if he could come with us. This way, if he does mention it to mum and dad then it sounds like Eli asked him. Underhand I know, but if I get to spend the day with Eli and Jack it’s worth it.
I open the door and give him a big smile. “Jack, what are you doing here?”
He holds up a couple of paper bags. “MacDonald's breakfast, thought you guys might want feeding?”
I step back and motion for him to come in while speaking to Eli. “Sweetie, Jack’s brought MacDonald's breakfast, you want some?”
MacDonald's is Eli’s favourite, Jack said he would do this. so I held off on giving Eli breakfast and I told Jack what Eli likes.
“Yum!” Eli shouts “Did you get hash browns?”
Jack nods “Of course, they're my favourite, and I got sausage McMuffin.”
“Wow, that’s my favourite too.”
“Great minds think alike buddy. Come on let's eat.”
Jack makes his way through into the living room.
“Come into the kitchen and I’ll set you up with the plates.”
Eli hesitates “But mummy if we have breakfast with Jack, will we miss the aquarium?”
I shake my head, “No, there’s plenty of time sweetie, don't worry about that.”
We sit down and Jack dishes out the food. He looks at me “I got you a bagel with Philadelphia, was I right?”
I rolled my eyes because I’d told him last night what I wanted.
Eli looks at me and pulls me down to his level. “Do you think Jack could come with us to the aquarium?”
I smile at my little man. “If he wants to, why don't you ask him?”
Eli's face lights up - he can't believe I said yes. “Jack, mummy and me are going to the aquarium today, do you want to come with us?”
Jack winks at him. “I’d love to dude, as long as it’s OK with your mummy.”
“It's fine with me.” I smile and we sit down to eat.

I don't know who enjoys the aquarium more, Jack or Eli. They both stare at the big tanks in wonder at all the tropical fish, when we go through the tunnel of water they're both so excited. We go to the creature corner where you get to hold things like starfish and crabs, and they're both in awe. I love seeing them both together - things couldn't be going better.
I check my phone while they're busy and see that I have a text message from Bobby.
Hey, just wondering if you'd thought about coming over to meet Zara yet and see where I live?
