~~Jasmine's POV~~

James and I have always been close. Like legit, really really close. We grew up together, became best friends, and we still are. We even live on the same street, he's just four houses down. In all honesty I never really thought of him other than a brother.

Anyway, I was on my way to his house to pick up Matthew, or Matt as I like to call him. Matt is my baby, he's seven months old, and he's adorable. I knocked on James' door. And a few moments later he answered. He was carrying a sleeping Matt. It was so cute how the two of them looked together.

"How was he?" I asked.

"Pretty good, we played, ate, and he fell asleep on me in the middle of watching Winnie the Pooh."

I smiled, of course Matt would be the one to fall asleep. James handed me Matt and went to get his diaper bag, and blanket. Since I usually leave James with Matt we thought it'd be easier if I just left a bag of toys over his house to avoid the hassle of bringing them back and forth. Don't get me wrong I love spending time with my baby, but whenever I need a babysitter, I can always count on James. And James doesn't mind, he likes babysitting Matt.

"Thanks for babysitting Matt." I said.

"Anytime." He smiled, I've always loved James' smile, it was perfect.

I left James' house and walked down the street towards my house. And as usual James watched me walk to my house just in case anything bad happened. He was a sweet, caring guy, always looking out for me.

I went inside my empty house. Yes empty. It was only me and Matt. My husband left me when Matt was born. So we're officially divorced. I was thankful for James though, helping me out whenever I needed it. He'd drive to the store if I ever needed something for Matt, or take Matt to the doctor's whenever I couldn't, and I really loved James for that. He was always there.

I set Matt down in his crib. He was still fast asleep. My poor babby must've been really tired. I kissed his forehead and went downstairs to the kitchen to get something to eat.

~~James' POV~~

After Jasmine left with Matt, I started picking up the toys we were playing with. That baby was the cutest little boy ever. jasmine must be greatful to have him. I don't have any kids, nor am I married. I king of think of Matt as a son. I know him pretty well, he doesn't cry around me as he probably would with a stranger. And I'm glad Jasmine lets me babysit him. I put all the toys in the bag, and sat down on the couch with my laptop. I started working on my book. Yes I was a writer. I almost had the whole book finished. I just needed a few more chapter. I've written at least five books, this one will be my sixth. And let me just say that being a writer is an amazing job, I get to use my imagination, and if the book is really good you get paid very very very well. Let me just say I get paid very very very well.

I looked to my right a noticed a stuffed animal. I picked it up and sure enough it was Matt's Winnie the Pooh. I had given it to Matt when he was born. I went to the hospital to visit the newborn baby and Jasmine. It was my welcome-to-the-world/ happy birthday gift. And ever since then, Matt and Winnie the Pooh have been inseparable. I got up and walked out of my house, and down the street. If Matt woke up and didn't see his Winnie the Pooh he'd start crying. So I went to Jasmine's house and knocked on her door. She answered.

"Hey James." she said sweetly. I rubbed the back of my neck, I was always a little shy around Jasmine, I don't know why though. We've known each other for a long time.

"Hey," I said, "I guess I forgot to give you Matt's Winnie the Pooh, I know he'd cry if he doesn't see it when he wakes up." I handed the stuffed animal to her.

"Thanks." She said taking it.

"Wanna come in for a bit?"

"Sure." I stepped inside her house. I know we're best friends and all, but I haven't been in her house in ages. It's still the same. I followed her into the kitchen.

"Matt still sleeping?" I asked.

"Yup, he's a heavy sleeper."

I sat at the island in the middle of her kitchen.

~~Jasmine's POV~~

I realized when James came in, that we haven't hung out in a while. Like we used to. I gave him a can of pepsi.

"You know what we should do?" I asked him.

He took a sip of his soda, "what?" he asked.

"We should go to the park tomorrow, and just hang out like we used to."

He smiled, that means its a yes.

"Sure, I'd like that. I haven't hung out with you in forever. You'll bring Matt right?"

"Of course." He took another sip, I went to the cabinet and got out a bag of popcorn. I put the bag in the microwave and hit the popcorn button.

"So how's your book coming along?" I asked.

He smiled, "great! book number six is almost done."

"What's this one about?"

"It's about these kids that go through some weird stuff, theres action, mystery, and some romance."

"What kind of weird stuff?"

"They keep waking up in different places, likat at the end of each day when they fall asleep the next day they're in someplace new."

The microwave beeped, I got the popcorn out and got a bowl. I dumped the popcorn in the bowl and brought it to the island.

"You're book sounds interesting, tell me more."

He pretended to zip up his lips and throw away the key.

"Why can't you tell me?"

He unzipped his lips, "You gotta buy it."

I sighed, "Okay, I'll buy it, just like I bought the other five books of yours."

He finished his pepsi. "You wanna watch a movie?" I asked.

"Sure."

We went into the living room, and sat down on the couch. I searched pay-per-view for a good movie.

"What movie sounds good?" I asked.

"How about we watch a comedy? I like a good laugh." He said. I searched until I found a good comedy. "The Hangover?" I asked.

"That's what I'm talking about." James smiled his millionaire smile. I clicked the 'watch' button.

~~James' POV~~

I was laughing really hard since the beginning of this movie. It really had me going, Jasmine was laughing really hard too. About half way through the movie we heard a cry from upstairs.

"We must've woken Matt up." Jasmine said.

"Whoops."

"I'll go get him." She said and took off upstairs. I paused the movie, while she came back down with Matt who was still crying.

"What is it Matt? You hungry? Do you need a diaper change?" Matt just kept on crying.

"Look who's in the living room Matt." Jasmine said.

When Matt saw me, he stopped crying. He was happy to see me. Matt smiled. Jasmine handed Matt to me. "He must really like you James."

"What can I say? I'm likable." I snuggled Matt, he seems to like it when I do that.

"I'll go get him a bottle." Jasmine said and went in the kitchen. Matt looked up at me smiling a toothless smile. He was so ADORABLE, I can't stress that enough. I kissed his forehead, he giggled. His curly brown hair made him even cuter!

"I wish you were my son."I said to Matt. He crawled on me and snuggled into my chest, I guess he was still tired. Jasmine came back with his bottle. "Aw you guys look adorable!" She cooed. She handed me the bottle and I gave it to Matt who greatly accepted it. Jasmine joined me on the couch once more, and we watched the rest of The Hangover while Matt fell asleep in my arms.

~~Jasmine's POV~~

By the time the movie was over, Matt and James were both asleep. It was fine with me if James spent the night. We've had sleepovers before, that was until we became teenagers, then my mom though we would do 'other stuff'. But we never thought of each other in 'that' way, we were best friends and still are. I carefully took Matt out of James' muscular arms. Wow, I never noticed his muscles before, they're very fine and toned. Damn. I brought Matt upstairs and put him in his crib, then I got an extra blanket from the closet and went downstairs. Apparently James had made himself comfortable on the couch already. He was laying down with his head on a pillow. I put the blanket over him, and made sure his whole body was covered. Then I just looked at him, he looked really, how do I say this?...Peaceful? Ah, who am I kidding, he looked so CUTE just sleeping there. I brushed his bangs out of his face and kissed his forehead.

"Goodnight James."
