EPOV
I heard my alarm clock go off, but I'd been awake for hours. I got out of bed and trudged to the shower, prepared to start another long day. I went through the motions of my morning routine while my mind wandered to last week.
I had told my …. soon to be ex-girlfriend Tanya the truth – I'm bisexual. And I kind of lean more towards the guys. She didn't take it well and screamed some pretty horrible things at me... in front of our daughter. Luckily she was too young to realize just what we were saying, but she still didn't need to hear the yelling. Soon after, Tanya left and said she had never wanted Melody anyways.
Yes, that's right. I'm now a single father, but it doesn't bother me. I don't know what I was thinking when I moved in with her, I don't even think I ever loved her... but I would always be thankful that she gave me Melody.
On that thought, I headed down the hallway to my daughters bedroom. I could hear her beginning to stir, and I smiled softly to myself. I was blessed to have a 9 month old daughter who almost always slept through the night peacefully and didn't seem to cry loudly for no apparent reason.
I reached the door and a smile stretched across my face as I laid my eyes on the light of my life. Melody was the spitting image of me, with vivid green eyes and wild bronze hair that was uncontrollable. I felt sort of bad for giving her my hair, but it suited her.
I picked her up and started getting her ready for the day, changing her diaper (quite foul smelling) and putting her in an adorable little purple long-sleeve dress with leggings on underneath and adorable little booties. I prepared her daycare bag and set her in the swing I have in the kitchen since I spend a lot of time in there. What can I say, I like cooking.
~EJEJEJEJ~
I pulled up to the daycare center at 7:45, a little earlier than usual. I decided that I'd stay for a few minutes and play with Melody before I headed off to work.
I loved teaching music, but sometimes high school drama drove me insane. I didn't remember it being quite so dramatic from my days as a high school student 7 years ago. Well, I was known at the school as a fun-loving teacher but strict enough to have gained respect, so that made it a bit easier.
I greeted the wonderful woman, Angela, who ran the daycare center. She was the only woman here who didn't flirt outrageously with me and make me extremely uncomfortable, and I appreciated that.
I left the bag with Angela and headed into the room for babies who couldn't walk yet and set down Melody on the floor. She immediately crawled away to play with her cousin Jamie, my brothers 7 month old son. I swear I'm going to have to lock her in a tower and I might have to hurt my nephew if they get any closer.
"Eddie-boy! How's it going? Wait... why isn't Tanya dropping Melody off on her way to the spa? Hahaha!" Emmett shouted boisterously from the section of parents staying behind for a few minutes. I could see Jessica eying me and I shuddered.
"I thought I told you not to call me Eddie. And... Tanya... left on Friday. We got into a fight after I... told her... and she stormed out and said she never wanted Melody anyways." I replied, my voice cold and hard nearing the end. I couldn't believe someone would abandon their own child... but then, that's the Tanya I thought I knew but I obviously didn't.
"...Well dude, no one liked her! Now that she's gone you can fuck as many guys as you want!" he said, trying to be quiet, but it didn't come out that way. It's kind of impossible for Emmett to be quiet, so nearly all the moms standing in their little group heard and started tittering away, no doubt thinking I was no available from them to throw themselves at me. I cringed at the thought.
"Emmett! Try to be quiet and at least not swear in front of young ears! Rose is going to kill you if Jamie's first word is a swear." I reminded him, grinning evilly inside as he shuddered at the thought. "And besides, I can't just go around... doing that, I have a young daughter who doesn't need men parading in and out of her life. I would need a stable relationship." I told him.
"Jeez Eddie-boy, you sound like a mom that NO ONE would like to fuck!" Emmett loudly exclaimed, sending more glances our way. "Then I guess you wouldn't want to meet Alice's new gay friend, Jasper! Man if I was gay, I would be on him in seconds. By the way he's coming to drop off Taylor this morning, Alice needed to go into the shop early because of some ordering emergency and Seth got called on to a last minute business trip." Emmett explained. "Poor Jazzy, Taylor is quite a handful for being 11 months... we'll show him the way!"
"Uh... Emmett I think I should be heading to work soon, I have some... paper work to do." I lied, trying to get out of Emmett's obvious set up. A blind date at the daycare, I think I'll pass.
"Since when do Band teachers have paperwork? Terrible excuse Eddie! And you can't escape now, Jasper just arrived! Ha ha, my plan has worked! Well I'm off to work, see ya tonight for dinner!" Emmett threw over his shoulder as he rushed out, throwing a hey at a frazzled looking man holding my cousin Alice's daughter, Taylor.
Even though he looked stressed and out of place, I couldn't help but stare at him. He was beautiful, there was no other word. His wavy locks of dirty blonde hair stopped just past his ears, brushed out of his stunning face. He was tall, maybe 6ft 4in. He looked straight at me and I almost gasped as our eyes met. They were a bright blue, full of confusion and I felt the need to help him.
"Hi, I'm Edward. You look confused, is there anything I can help you with?" I asked him.
"Oh thank god, Alice said you'd be here and if I needed help you'd be the best person to ask. Where do I take Taylor?" The man asked me with a deep southern accent, which I shivered at. Get a hold of yourself Edward!
"Oh yeah, just in here. My daughter Melody is over there playing on the floor with Jamie, Emmett's kid. Taylor and Melody are best friends." I explained to him as I led him over to Melody and Jamie. I thought I saw a flash of pain cross his face when I mentioned I had a daughter, but I must have been mistaken "I'm going to have to lock her in a tower one of these days so no boys can get anywhere near her. Already Jamie's moving in on my little girl." I said with a teasing grin on my face.
"She looks just like you. What does your girlfriend say about Jamie and Melody?" Jasper inquired.
"She always used to hate the idea of Emmett's kid dating her kid but it's not like her opinion matters anymore." I said bitterly. At the questioning look on his face, I continued. "I told her that I'm bisexual... sort of leaning towards guys more...she left, said she never wanted Melody in the first place."
I had no idea why I was telling him this. I wanted him to know I was available, if he was interested. I really hoped he was gay, I couldn't remember ever being this attracted to someone before.
"I've only had positive reactions so far when I tell people I'm gay..." Jasper muttered uncertainly. He looked pretty nervous about this conversation. "So where do you work Edward?"
"I'm a High School music teacher... which reminds me, I think I need to head to work now. School starts in half an hour and all my students like to arrive early because I let them play with the piano. So... I'll see you soon?" I asked uncertainly.
"Yeah, I'm coming to dinner tonight at Alice and Seth's place. I'll see you then." Jasper replied.
I quickly kissed Melody on the forehead and rushed out the door, trying to prevent being late. I needed to do a couple things before class but I guessed they could wait.
I spent the entire drive to work thinking about seeing Jasper again, nearly forgetting where I was going. I couldn't wait until tonight... I might have to thank Alice and Emmett for setting this up.
AN/ So that's it, I definitely feel the need to continue this story. I hope I can come up with some ideas! I will take suggestions into account if you want, so review please! I promise to give you credit for any ideas I take.
I also wanted to know if I should do the next chapter as JPOV for this past chapter, or continue after they meet in JPOV or EPOV. Tell me what you think!
