“Stop talking when I taaaaalk”

I rolled my eyes as I walked down the steps to hear the twins bickering. Walking into the foyer, I grabbed my purse and stood at the door waiting for them to notice me.

“But I wanna talk to”

Kanai responded. I chuckled shaking my head. Looking up they both ran towards the door, shoving past one another causing my security to chase after them. They were real bay bay kids.

“This is a beautiful home”

I spoke as Memphis took me through his home. Showing me where everything was and how to work everything.

“Eh. It’s home. I don’t mind sharing it. This is the kitchen. I don’t mind you cooking or anything, I have a chef but anytime you feel inclined to cook you can. The pool isn’t heated but I doubt you wanna use it in the winter because it gets really old here”

“I have to leave tonight. This is my only chance to make this move”

I spoke to my sister as I packed my blackened eye with makeup. Looked at myself in the mirror I exhaled and tried to hold back the tears, but was unsuccessful. What did become of me. How did I, a women with a bachelors degree in health in up not even working and being in a abusive relationship with my 3 year old son.

What kind of example was I to him. What kind of womggen was I. My sister stood up, fo sister the final touches on my eye and pushed the hair from my face.

“You know what, I can’t argue with that. At the end of the day, I just want you to be safe”

I looked at the time, rushing and shoving my son into the car. I was suppose to be meeting with April Tuckers. She use to be friends with my mom until she passed. And since she has passed she’s always checked in on me, made sure I was okay. Made it to all my sons birthdays, she’s a really phenomenal women.

Speeding down my New Orleans street, I pulled out phone and dialed Ms. April’s number. Placing it on Bluetooth, I waited until she finally answered.

Wednesday 8:20 pm

“Listen. I’m not playing we have to get up early and I don’t wanna hear shit about I’m sleepy or I can’t get up. Go get your ass in that bed and don’t get up. If i see you up again Ima beat your ass!!”

I hollered up the stairs to Trent. While Sanaa was already sleep, Trent ass was still up trying to get his ass whooped. Our flight was at 3:40 in the damn morning. Hell I was trying to get my own damn self to sleep, but been running around making sure the kids bags were packed and so was ours. King ran out to the store so Trent has been testing me. Usually King gets him in line, but when he’s not around he tries and test the waters.

I rolled my eyes and walked into the kitchen, I began cleaning up and putting the food from tonight. Turning around I jumped at the presence of Lourdes.

“What the fuck Lo?”

She laughed, shrugging her shoulders and sitting at the breakfast bar.

“Bitch what? Why you so jumpy?”

I smacked my teeth and continued with the task at hand. Afterwards, I grabbed my bowl of salad and glass of wine and sat at the bar beside her.

“You ready for your trip”.

I exhaled nodding my head.

“Yes I’m ready. Now this damn process and the hectic running around is what I’m not here for”.

She smiled, nodding her head and looking around the kitchen.

“Yo, I gotta tell you something?”.

I sat up straight, turning my whole body towards her.

“Girl spill the Tea”

She exhaled and nodded.

“Ok girl so.... Me and Terrence been fucking around”.

I began choking on my wine. Looking at her wide eye I covered my mouth with my fist and continued coughing. Out of all the shit I though she was gonna say. This definitely didn’t come to mind.

“What!!!? Nah you playing”.

She laughed and shook her head.

“How the fuck did that even occur “

She sat up straight, throwing her hair over her shoulder and clearing her throat.

“Well a few weeks ago he came to get his wallet. We got the kicking it. He asked me out to brunch then we came back. While we sitting BAM! nigga throws his lips at me. He was talking about it don’t matter, ain’t nobody got to know. So I was like, I mean ain’t no harm in fucking a nigga for fun and for free.... until this morning”.

I looked at her with wide eyes. I mean I was totally baffled that she done fucked a nigga in my house, but that’s neither here nor here, I’m trynna see what’s up with this hoe.

“This morning I been a little sick. Like I couldn’t move out the damn bed. So I took a test and I’m pregnant”.

I grabbed my mouth but not even that could muffle my loud ass scream.

“Momm-”

“Get yo ass in the bed Trent. Matter fact stay there. I’m coming up with my belt”.

I listened for his footsteps then looked back at Lourdes. I couldn’t believe my fucking ears. I was shocked as shit. 

“Wow Lourdes... Did you tell him?”.

She smacked her teeth and shook her head.

“No. I’m thinking I can just get a a-”

“Hol’ up Hol’ up. Just like that’s your child, that’s his too. And yes I’m pro choice. You don’t know how he’ll feel about this. Shit he might want it. Just talk to him before you jump out the window on some dumb shit”.

She nodded playing with her fingers. Pulling her into a hug I rubbed up and down her back.

“I got ya back no matter what bitch”.

King

9:18

I exhaled, running my hands over my face and taking my shirt off. A nigga was really tired, just ready to get in the bed. We gotta be up in 5 hours and I been running all day. I smiled at the view of Tiana already in the bed, kicking my joggers off I pulled the sheets back and climbed into the bed.

I allowed my dick to rest on her butt, pulling her closer and adding a little hump to it. I listened as she lowly snicked then turning around to face me. As she tried I shook my head, turning her back around. Pulling my member from my briefs, I lifted the large T-shirt that she had on. Running it on her back, small moans of pleasure left her lips.

I laughed, kissing her neck and lightly sucking on it.

“Stop playing”.

She mumbled. I smiled to myself, grabbing the base and allowing her to toot her ass up a little more. I slowly eased my dick into her opening. My mouth dropped as her warm insides gripped me nicely. As I pumped she let out moans in between. I felt as he juices begin to run down dick.

Holding my arm around her waist tightly I pumped harder and faster.

“Ah shit King!!”.

She screamed. I smiled, biting down on her ear, trying to focus on the good nut that was building up. We stayed in the same position the whole time. Reaching her arm back, she placed it around my neck, Leaning upward she kissed me deeply still moaning against my lips.

“Im about to nut”.

“Let it go baby”.

She mumbled sexily, throwing her ass back harder. I squeezed my eyes shut, pumping harder. The only sound heard was our skin clapping against each other and Tiana’s moans.

Sweat ran down my forehead. Slapping her thigh, I held tighter, finally busting, I kept stroking through my orgasm. My breathing began to slow down, laughing i turned her towards me and pecked her lips.

“I love you”.

She mumbled. I smiled resting my forehead on hers.

“I love you too baby”.

2:00 am

I yawn, gently getting Titan dressed in his sleep. After beat Tiana’s wall’s down, I went straight to sleep. It’s the perfect remedy for a good night sleep. I zipped up my own jacket, then placed Titan in his and picked him up. Grabbing his suitcase, I quietly walked downstairs and placed him on the couch.

“Baby Ya’ll ready”.

I called up the  stairs as quietly as possible.

“Yeah”.

I nodded, to myself grabbing Trent and Sanaa’s bag and walking out to the car. Starting it up, I placed the bags in the trunk and closed it. Running back in the house, I laughed as Trent rubbed his sleepy eyes. Holding his iPad tightly, I went and grabbed Titan. Picking them both up, I walked them out to the car ans strapped them in. Shit I was I could sleep through this whole damn process.

Running back in the house, I smiled as Tiana walked down the stairs with her luggage in hand. Letting her and Sanaa walk out, I then closed the door and armed the house. Exhaling, I left out the house and hopped in the whip.

“You ready baby?”.

She adjusted herself in the seat, putting her travel pillow around her neck and nodded. Nodding my head, I pulled off into the dark morning.

Lourdes

10 am 

I exhaled, sitting patiently and waiting for Terrence. I had texted him to come over and he told me he was on the way. I’m still so nervous about telling him. I feel I should have been smarter, I should have been on some form of birth control. Shit I should have been using protection. After waiting for another 20 minutes, I almost jumped out my skin when I heard the doorbell ring. My hands began to get clammy and my breathing picked up. Calming myself down, I got up from the couch and walked to the door. Opening it, he walked in smiling. Planting a kiss on my cheek he took his jacket off, throwing it on the back of the dinning room chair.

“Wassup baby?”.

I shrugged, following him into the kitchen. Watching him go into the fridge.

“Yo King and them leave yet”.

“Yeah, they left earlier this morning. They won’t get there until tomorrow morning around 5 our time”.

He nodded grabbing a glass and filling it with water. Taking a deep breath I calmed my nerves once more and sat at the bar.

“Terrence... I gotta tell you something”.

He burped, grabbing his chest in the process and nodding his head.

“Wassup”.

I closed my eyes, reminding myself to not beat around the bush and just get straight to the point.

“I took a pregnancy test yesterday... It came back positive”.

He stood there starring at me. Laughing lowly he continued back to drinking his

Terrance

10:20 am

Knocking on the door of my boy King’s spot, I looked down at my watch and smacked my teeth. Leave it up to my dumb ass to leave my wallet here last night, and King stupid ass to forget to bring it this morning. Stepping back as the door opened, I expected Tiana to answer the door, but instead her cute ass cousin did.

“Oh hey.. Terrence right?”.

I nodded clearing my throat and taking my hands out my pocket.

“yeah. I left my wallet here yester-”

“Oh come in come in. I don’t know where it might be so you can grab it”.

I nodded with a smile and walked into the house. Hearing the door close, I walked over to the dining room and grabbed my wallet. Turning back around I looked around and nodded. Me and my boy done came up, from Bedstuy projects to New Orleans Mansions. I laughed to myself then headed back towards the door.

“So you and King been friends for a while?”.

Lourdes questioned. I nodded turning around.

“yeah, we been boys since like Middle school is. Funny thing is we beefed at first. Then we fought and ever since then we been best friends”.

She laughed, rubbing her arms from being cold then smiled.

“So you staying in New Orleans?”.

I questioned, she exhaled and shrugged.

“I guess so. Not here though. Im gonna get a job and get out on my own”.

I smiled with a nod. She was really beautiful. Besides the bruise on her cheek and her small but busted lip she was gorgeous. Young compared to me but cute. I looked down at my watch then back at her. I had 2 hours to spare since King was busy on his own today.

“You wanna catch breakfast”.

“I can’t my fa-”

“Trust me. It’s not that bad. I haven’t ate and I know you haven’t”.

She twisted back and forth at her waist then shrugged.

“Ok.... Let me go get dressed”.

I nodded, walking into the living room and plopping down on the couch.

Lourdes

11:30

“Oh please, I’m not letting you convince to me that you could have played football. You don’t look like you have an athletic bone in your little ass body”.

I laughed, taunting Terrence. We was headed back to Tiana’s house. Breakfast was good and he payed, but we only spent a hour there since he had to get back to work.

“Oh you trynna rib me. Listen I was the illest nigga when we was younger. If I hadn’t went to that square ass law school, I could have been the realest nigga playing for the Giants”.

I laughed, smacking my teeth and waving me off. He was totally the opposite of what I imagines. I thought he was Boogie and stuck up, but he’s far from it. Pulling up to the we sat in the front for a while just sitting in silence.

“Well thank you f-”

Before I could finish, Terrence’s lips smashed into mine.

Pushing his face away I looked ta him in disbelief.

“What was that?”.

He laughed, shrugging, still leaning over on my side of the car.

“I’m just acting on how I feel”.

I laughed and shook my head.

“Nah.. I don’t think it’s ri-”

“Ain’t nobody gotta know. Lets keep it between me and you”.

I thought to myself. I haven’t had sex in forever. I don’t even think I remember with penetration feels like. And besides what’s a little nookie on the side with no feelings attached. I smiled leaning over his leg and taking the keys out the ignition.

“Lets go”.

Tiana

1:20 pm

I sat and watched as Johan got his picture taken for his passport. I been running all morning trying to get everything situated for this trip. After all was finished, I picked the kids up early so we can go ahead and get this done and have it out of the way. Even though Sanaa already had one, Trent didn’t. But I didn’t feel it would be fair to just pick him up, so I grabbed her too.

I was really excited about this. I have never before had to take a business related trip but to say it now feels dope as shit.

“Do we already have clothes for the show... I don’t wanna wear one of my old dresses?”.

I laughed, nodding my head at Sanaa. Taking my phone out I took a few pictures of her and edited them. Afterward I put them on my Instagram.

“Ooooo do you think daddy will let me try out for Cheer at my new school. I already do gymnastics but I wanna do cheer too?”.

I shrugged my shoulders, placing Titan back in his stroller and strapping him in.

“I don’t know. How about we surprise him at the office with lunch and ask?”.

He eyes lit up and she nodded aggressively.

I grabbed my phone about to shoot him a text, but then just decided to surprise him with our presence.

1:40

I smiled as I approached Kings office door. Placing my phone in my purse, I then opened the door. My smile dropped and unwillingly jealously ran over me.

Trent and Sanaa ran over to Kingston while I stood at the door, still trying to figure out what was going on. He looked at me with a smile, then stood up quickly and walked over to me.

“Oh I’m sorry baby. Ummm Damn, Tiana this is my new assistant Porsche. And Porsche this is my Fiance and our dream team Sanaa, Trent, and Titan”.

I was so caught up in little miss thang up in here, then fact that he said fiance didn’t hit me until a few seconds later. I decided to bask in it and held my head high as she approached me with her hand out.

“It’s so nice to meet you. King has told me all about you?”.

I smiled returning the gesture.

“I’m sure Kingston has”

She cleared her through looking back at the kids and smiling. I watched as she slid out of the door, not forgetting to close it behind her.

“Baby?.... What was that?”.

King laughed. I shrugged my shoulders, taking Titan from his stroller and placing him on the floor. 

“Nothing. I greeted her as I was suppose to”.

Smacking his teeth, he pulled me close to him and picked my lips softly while holding my waist.

“I had no idea you needed a assistant. Why didn’t you get a guy, or a gay dude assistant”.

He laughed once more, taking the bag of food from my hand and placing it on the table. I watched as he portioned it out, giving the kids their food along with their drink.

“No need to be jealous. You’re all I need”.

I scoffed, throwing my head back and letting out a sarcastic laugh.

“Jealous? Me? No not at all. I’m just saying...I like how you threw that fiance thing in there”.

He smiled, shoving some food in his mouth and shrugging his shoulders.

“Just speaking the good into existence”.

“We need rice?”.

Trent voiced as he and Sanaa sat at the breakfast bar. I smacked my teeth turning around and pointing at the homework infront of him with my spoon.

“You need to be doing that homework. Nevermind what I’m doing over here”.

He gave me a stank look before returning back to his homework. I was still on a unbelievable high. Needless to say the shoot went great. Not only was I offered $4,000 on the spot for just 2 hours, They also asked to use me again and also would like to refer me for a few other positions.

“So since you’ll be working, does that mean you might travel a lot like daddy?”.

Sanaa asked. I shrugged my shoulders.

“I’m not sure baby, but if I do, I’ll make sure to take you guys as much as I can”.

She smiled, returning back to her homework. Walking over to Titan’s high chair, I kissed his little nose, placing more cheerios on his tray. I shook my head as he devoured the small snack. The sound of the front door chime brought me out of my stare down with him. 

Both the kids hopped down and ran out the kitchen. I listened as Kingston laughed. Smiling, I picked Titan up and walked towards the front.

“You not going to be-”

My sentence was cut short at the view of Lourdes. Not only was I surprised to see her, but she looked like she had been hurt. I ran over to her, hanging Titan to King and grabbing her on my arms. My eyes began to fill with tears and emotions flooded my mind. Finally letting go, I cupped her face and looked her in the eyes.

“What happene-”

She smiled shaking her head.

“I’ll talk to you later about it. I’m just glad to see you”.

I laughed, grabbing her into a tight hug once more.

“What ya’ll cook. Let a nigga join”

Terrence blurted out. I smacked my teeth and laugh.

“There’s enough so yeah”.

7: 20 pm

I walked Lourdes to the guest room and sat on the edge of the bed. I watched as she placed her large suitcase on the floor and fall back on the bed. I left the kids downstairs with the guys and decided to talk to Lourdes, No matter how how bad she’s trying to avoid it, I still wanna what happened.

“I like this. Feels French as shit”.

I laughed, laying back on the bed and looking over at her?

“What happened to you Lourdes?”.

She exhaled, sitting up and looking at me.

“Tiana you know what happened. Dominic rolled up on me, smashed my shit in cause he was looking for you. I wouldn’t tell him what was up so this its what happened?”.

I wiped the brim of my eye and shook my head. Looking up at the ceiling I tried not to cry. Dominic had the audacity to try to throw me under the bus then get mad when I defend myself. And he came for my family.

“But.....I’m not too worried about him anymore. For one King said I can stay here with ya’ll and for second I think he talked to Dominic”.

My head snapped back in her direction. Total confusion plastered on my face.

“What you mean?”.

“Like I said hoe. He asked do I know where he would be at and I told him. He met us at the airport a few hours later”.

I nodded, making a mental note to ask him about this.

“Anyway girl. tell me how Nola treating you so far?’

Kingston

9:20 pm

“Ya’ll suppose to been sleep. Goodnight”.

I stood in the hallway holding Titan and standing with Sanaa and Trent.

“Are you taking us to school?”.

Sanaa questioned. I smacked my teeth, kissing her forehead and shoving too her towards room.

“Yes. I’ll take ya’ll. Goodnight Sana-”

“Can you have lunch with us?”.

“Go to sleep Trent”.

I watched him blew air out his mouth and walk into his room. Turning off the hall light, I walked further down the hall through our sitting area and to the room. Smiling at Tiana, I placed Titan in the middle and climbed into the covers. I smiled looking around the room.

“You did a good job baby? I like this set up”.

She smiled, pulling Titan onto her chest and placing his pacifier in his mouth.I rested my head on my hand while watching ESPN. I began to drift off, until Tiana tapped my arm.

“Aye, I heard you went to see Dominic?”.

I smiled at the thought of him being finished and nodded my head.

“Yeah, I did. That shit he did to Lourdes wasn’t cool. And on top of that he was talking crazy. I had to... you know calm his ass down”.

She laughed, leaning down and kissing the top of my head.

“So baby. Remember I was telling you I volunteered to style a group of Kids for Gucci. Well needless to say, It went good. Now the dude was telling me he would get back in touch. And he did, and I’ve been offered to attend a show in Florence next in 4 weeks. I’ll get to meet a few designers and maybe hopefully get offered something. I might be thinking to far ahead but this is a big moment for me”.

I sat up smiling hard and looking at her in amazement.

“You’re not thinking to far ahead. Your just realizing you worth and talent.. You should be, and  I’m proud of you”.

She smiled brightly shrugging her shoulders.

“I got outfits for the kids and all. I want ya’ll to come”.

I smiled, pulled her close to me and kissing her lips.

“Best believe I wouldn’t miss it.”

The room was silent as I resumed back to the TV and Tiana focused on putting Titan to sleep and scrolling through her email.

“Baby?”.

I nodded, peeking  over at her still trying to look at the TV in the corner of my eye.

“Do you love me?”.

I sat up straight taking my shirt off and thinking. To be real I haven't said it to here since we been together for the past 4 months. We’ve moved pretty fast, but ones thing for sure, I am starting to love her genuinely.

I rested my hands behind my head and leaned on the headboard of the bed.

“Yeah. I do love you”.

Monday 7:20 am

“So, How you liking this new house baby?”.

I questioned Sanaa as I got her ready for her first day at her and Trent’s new school. She smiled brightly, still rubbing her sleepy eyes.

“I love it daddy. I’m ready for school too”.

I laughed, sitting on her bed and looking around. After I got all the stuff out here 2 days ago, the whole weekend was dedicated to getting Tiana and the kids settled in. Now it’s back to reality for me. I gotta fly back to NY in a hour for the day to handle some last minute shit, so I wont be able to see Sanaa and Trent off too school. But I’m sure Tiana will have it all under control. 

“I’m glad. Because daddy put his hard earned money into this house with his Princess in mind”.

She laughed, shaking her head and walking over to her dresser. Looking in the mirror she fixed her shirt then put lotion on her face. Walking back over, she handed me some oil for her hair. I looked at her with a confused expression.

“Put a little in the middle of your hand and rub it through my hair”.

I chuckled, doing as she said and moved my fingers through her coils.

“I met the 2 girls down the street. She was like how old are you and I said 8 and she said do you have a sister and I said no I have 2 brother-”

“You introduce Titan and Trent as your brothers.”.

She chuckled, getting up and closing the oil.

“Yes. I use to only say Titan because Trent is annoying, but I guess they are both my brothers now”.

I laughed and nodded. My head. 

“I guess so. Come on Baby”.

Grabbing her book bag, we walked out of her room and all the way down the hall to Trent’s. He smiled, jumping out of Tiana’s lap and grabbing his own book bag.

“Is she ready? I’m ready? My book bag is all together”.

Tiana smacked her teeth, putting his bush on the dresser and rubbing lotion on his face.

“Are w-:

“Downstairs Downstairs!”.

I cut Sanaa off from talking, following behind them as they spoke and talked while walking down the stairs.

“Do we take french classes, or we always talk french?”.

Sanaa questioned, sitting at the breakfast bar with a  bowl of cereal Pollie made in front of them. I shrugged, looking at my watch and adjusting it.

“It’s both baby, you’ll have a french class, but all your teachers are french, so basically you’ll be speaking and learning it everyday”.

Tiana interjected. Sanaa smiled and took a spoonful of golden grahams into her mouth.

“I think it’s cool. So i can talk to people here”.

I laughed at Trent and ruffled his head.

“Yeah you right. Cause they speak a lot of it here in Nola”.

Walking over to Tiana, I placed my hands on her waist turning her body towards me. Leaning down I pecked her lips and smiled, looking at her sleepy face. It was sexy actually, made me wanna dig in them guts like how I did last night, but I gotta go and catch this jet before I miss it.

“What time will you be back home?”.

“3 hour flight, 2 hour meeting, 1 hour lunch, 3 hour flight again... I’ll be back around 5 this afternoon”.

He smacked her teeth, pulling me into a hug and holding me tight. I smiled, kissing the crown of her head and hugging her a bit tighter.

“I know, but luckily these type of trips only occur once every 3 months. But I gotta go”.

I kissed her lips once more, before waving to the kids and heading out the door. Looking down at my phone, I cursed lowly to myself as another text came in from Terence.

From: Terrence

Where the fuck you at nigga. This shit is set to take off in 10 minutes

I laughed to myself, quickly hopping in my Bentley and pulling off.

To: Terrence

Nigga I can make that. I’m on the way now.

Throwing my phone on the passenger seat, I buckled my seat belt and sped down the Nola streets to the airport.

Tiana

11:20 am

Ever since I dropped the kids off this morning, I’ve been running around like crazy. Not only enjoying all Nola has to offer, but also picking up more stuff for the house. I decided to let Polly have the day to herself, I had Titan so it was just him and I.

I exhaled, enjoying the beautiful warm weather. Back in New York it would be freezing right now, but not here. The weather was just right. 

“Here Papi”. 

I handed him a small piece of shrimp from my gumbo. He frowned as he adjusted his taste buds to the new taste. I laughed, watching him finish then grab for my bowl.

“Aye no, sit back.Hold on”.

Sitting him back down in the high chair, I grabbed a bag from his bag and placed it around his neck. Pushing up his sleeves I then grabbing a small plate and placed some food on his plate. I laughed as he dived in and smiled. His fat ass.

I looked back to my phone. Scrolling through and looking for a University near by. I promised myself I was gonna go back to school, and that’s what I’m gonna do. No more making excuses, there’s no need to especially since King is offering to help me along the way. I’m really appreciative of him. I’m truly blessed and so glad God placed him in our lives. 

My train of thoughts were broken bu a man and women in the booth behind me talking loud as hell.

“Kimberly, we have these kids here and nobody to coordinate the outfits. This shoot has to be sent off to Gucci TOMORROW”

My mouth dropped a little. Gucci campaigning here in Nola. Wow, I wouldn’t have thought here. It’s kinda secluded and it’s own little world. I turned my head a little and continued to be nosey.

“Listen. I’m sure we can find someon-”

“The shoot is in 2 hours. We don’t have that much time”.

I began to think. I could do it, Lord knows I love fashion and design. I don’t wanna butt in but God has a funny way off doing things.

Standing up a bit, I walked to the side of their booth and smiled.

“I couldn’t help but notice you needed a coordinator”.

They nodded and shrugged their shoulders.

“Ok? And?”

I kept my cool. Her ass was obviously getting smart. But I had to remember I ain’t the same women I use to be.

“I could coordinate”

“No thank you we-”

“No no. Actually I’m open to suggestions Kimberly”

I smiled as the man interrupted her and smiled at me nodding.

“I’m from New York. I know a a lot about design and fashion. I’d love to help”.

He looked at me hard, tapping his stand on the table. Finally he responded.

“Well I’m desperate. Please don’t make a fool of me”.

I nodded with a small, shaking his hand as he extended it.

“Are you avail-”

“Absolutely”. .

King

11: 30

“How’s it going man. New house, New lady, More Kids?”

Terrence questioned.

I laughed, sitting back in the chair and shrugging my shoulder. 

“I’s good man. I’m loving it so far. Only God knows the future. Nevermind me though. When you gonna get you a a Mrs?”.

I questioned. He smacked his teeth and shook his head. Terrence was one go my best friends. We came in this shit together, and been boys since Middle school. He’s never been the tie them down type. He just fuck them and kick em to the curb. I use to be the same way but that lifestyle gets old.

“Never nigga. You know me. I never love em. Bitches ain’t sh-”

Before he could finish his dumb ass statement, My old secretary opened the door to my old office.

“Someone name Lourdes is here to see you?”.

I stood up nodding. I remembered that was Tiana’s cousin. What the fuck was she doing here?.

I bond cringed as she walked in with a battered face. Running beside her, I helped her in the door then closed the door behind her.

“Yo, Lourdes what’s good?”.

“Dominic, He’s looking for Tiana. I wouldn’t tell him shit and he fucked my face up on the stoop”.

I shook my head then looked at Terrence. This nigga been overstepping his boundaries. I think it’s best that I go see him. Man to man about this shit.

“If I asked you were he be at could you tall me”

Terrence hopped up and stood beside me.

“Yo what you doin-”

I cut him off and raised my hand looking back at Lourdes. She paused for a moment then nodded slowly. I nodded, placing my hand on her shoulder and rubbing it.

“Ima uh. Ima get you up out of here. We leave for New Orleans around 5. I’ll have my boy here take you to get your stuff, then you can fly back with us. You can stay in the guest bed room. Find a job and get on your feet iight?”.

She nodded. I stood up from the chair. Grabbing my  jacket and keys.

“Ayo, Ima meet ya’ll at the airport. I got something to handle. Lourdes text me the spot. Now”.

Terrence began speaking but I ignored him, walking out the office an closing the door behind me.I looked down at my phone smiling at the text from Lourdes. I got his ass.

4:00 pm

I pulled up to the location that Lourdes had gave me. Placing the car in park, I blew some air out of my mouth before hopping out of the rental. Grabbing my .45 from my duffel bag,I put the silencer on it then placed it in the back of my pants and walked up the steps and through the building. I stepped off on the 7th floor and walked down the hall.

227 A. 226 B 225 C 226 D

I stopped, and knocked on the door. I listened as some rustling game from behind the door. Standing patiently, I watched as it swung open. His eyes widen and he laughed.

“What the fuck. Ain’t you the nigga that’s getting me time?”.

I laughed. I shrugged my shoulder and nodded.

“Yeah. Guilty”.

Not waiting for him to invite me in, I stepped passed him and stopped in the middle of the living room. I watched as he closed the door and held a stare off with me.

“What your tight suit. Feds ass doing up in Bedford Stuyvesant ”.

I laughed shaking my head.

“Nigga I grew up here. I paved the way for ya’ll little niggas. Little do you know. But I’m here to talk about Lourdes and Tiana. I seen what you did to Lourdes”.

He chucked and shrugged his shoulders. Grabbing a cigarette, he put it in his mouth and lit it up,

“And nigga. The fuck you here talking about some bitches for. Either way. Them bitches gonna die. And Ima see to that sh-”

Before he could finish, I quickly pulled the .45 from my back. Backing up, I shot him once in the stomach and once in the chest. I watched him drop down the floor, suffering. Stepped towards him, I smashed the cigarette with my shoes and bend down beside his ear.

“See that’s the problem... I don’t play behind Tiana. And I’ma die and kill for him”.

I smiled, watching as he chocked on his own blood. Backing out the apartment, I closed the door. Making sure nobody was around I walked down the hallway calmly and hopped on the elevator. 

Back to New Orleans

The next day

3:22 pm

I sat on the couch of my New York home. Tapping my floor, I held a sleeping Titan in my grip, waiting for my mother to come through the front door with the kids. I got back about 30 minutes ago. Pollie was tending to Titan and my mom had ran out to go get the kids. I was just ready to get them and hop back on this plan. Tiana was beyond worried and it was stressing both of us out. Exhaling I looked down at my watch, as soon as I was about to call my mom, the small voices of the kids echoed from inside the elevator. I took a sign of relief and smiled as they eyes might mine. I laughed as they ran towards me with open arms and hugging me tight on my arms.

“I thought you wasn’t coming back until Saturday?”.

I nodded.

“I know, but we’re leave tonight. We’re staying in New Orleans until the house is ready?”.

Trent jumped up and down with excitement but Sanaa stood still, trying to process what I just said.

“But daddy my friends, I didn’t get to tell them bye”.

I smacked my teeth, pulling her close to me and rubbing my hand over her curly head.

“Baby, we have to go ok... I know right now you’re upset, but you can keep in touch with your friends. I have your teacher’s email. She knows today was your last day. And they said they would make sure your classmates stayed in touch”.

She wiped her eye and stomped her foot.

“But daddy, what about Charisma and Stephanie... I didn-”

“I promise I’ll make sure you stay in touch. I have their dad’s numbers....ok? You trust daddy?”.

Sucking her teeth, she looked at my mother then back at me. It took her a minute, but she understood and finally nodded leaning her head on my shoulder.

I smiled, kissing her forehead and looking at my watch.

“We have to g-”

“What already?”.

My mother yelled. I exhaled, nodding my head and placing Titan’s jacket on him. I love my mom, but she can be overwhelming. She can stress me out then I already am, just with her negativity.

“oh, so I guess, I’m just gonna have to be okay with all this. Coming to get these kids because of h-”.

“Ma!”.

Standing to my feet, I walked towards my mother and shook my head.

“Ma. know that’s too far. You understand the circumstances and should respect them”.

She chuckled and shook her head. See what I mean.

“No, It’s not normal, I starting to see she’s t-”

“Pollie, take the kids down the car”.

Pollie nodded, grabbing titan and leading the kids and their bags down the elevator. I waited until the door closed before I finished what I said.

“She’s not trouble, she’s been through things as we both have. She’s beautiful inside and out. Please respect her as she respects you. She’s not going anywhere anytime soon, and these next moves I make will always be for them kids, and her better good. I’m happy again, don’t ruin that for me”.

I didn’t give her time to respond. Instead, I kissed her cheek and grabbed my other bag then hopped on the elevator and headed downstairs.

Tiana

8:22 pm

I sat on the edge of the hotel couch, waiting for the kids and King to walk in. I haven’t talked to him since he left and I was growing more and more worried. I literally been pacing back and forth like crazy, thinking all the worse possible things that could have happened.

I picked up my phone looking at the time, It was getting late. As soon as I was about to call him, I heard the door knob move and seen the door swing open. I smiled, jumping to my feet and grabbing Trent into my arms. Kissing him all over I then took Titan from King’s arms and hugged him tight.

“Damn, I missed ya’ll how was school? How was the flight? Are you hungry”.

Sanaa and Trent laughed, dropping their bags and hopping on the couch with their IPads in hand. Obviously I was the only one worried, they was as calm and collect as could be.

“It was good. And school was good. But we are hungry”

Sanaa spoke, not once looking up from her Ipad.

I nodded, looking at King and nodded. He smiled, turning on the TV for the kids and following me to first room. Closing the door, I let out a sigh of relief and fell back on the bed.

“I feel good, honestly my brain was racking. Why the hell didn’t you call me Kingston”.

He laughed, climbing on top of me and kissing my neck.

“I was busy.. Had to make sure we got back to plane on time. Then we got on it and I fell asleep... Me and my mom fell out too”.

I moved my head from under his neck and furrowed my eyebrows.

“Why?”.

“Too much shit to talk about no-”

I shook my head. We had enough time, and I wan’t to know now.

“Ni, I wanna know. What happened?”.

He exhaled, looking away then shaking his head.

“She spoke out of pocket. Saying that you basically had issues with you and that I need to rethink everything”.

I looked him in the eye, Kind of hurt. I vented to her about a lot when we spoke, but I didn’t think she would use a lot of it against me, especially this.

“Do you fe-”

“If I felt that way, would I be here now?”.

There was a silence between the both of us.

“I don’t care what you’ve been through, what you’ve done or your past. I only care about the future. I wouldn’t be here right now if I didn’t think you was worth it baby”.

I nodded, causing him to smile and peck my lips softly.

He continued kissing my lips until a smile broke out on my face. Laughing he gave me one more passionate kiss before removing himself from on top of me and getting himself ready for us to go out and eat.

9:22 am

“I can share with Sanaa”

“No you can’t I don’t like having you in my room now”.

I laughed as Trent and Sanaa went back and forth.

“Trent you can have your own room “.

Tiana yelled as she came out the closet with a suitcase in tote. Her and I were leaving for New Orleans in a few hours to look for a school for the kids and a house. We only got a few days to look because we have to be there and moved in by Sunday

I’m glad she agreed. She is still nervous, but I told her there’s no reason to. I got her and I ain't trying to loose what we gained. We going strong and I’m ready to make this move. Besides I think it’s time to move, I love Regina, but It’s time for me to move on. And by move on I mean move out of this condo that her and I shared. It’s time to build something new with Tiana.

“Trent and Sanaa. I’m not going to say it again, go get your book bags so y'all can go out the door. Thank you”.

My mother scolded, walking into the room. I smiled at her, walking to her side and kissing her cheek.

“Ma, are you sure you don’t want us to take Titan?”.

She smacked her teeth and nodded taking him from my arms. The 2 of them plus Titan was gonna be a handle for my mom, so Pollie is gonna help. I gotta thank her as well, she’s making this move to New Orleans with us as well. I’m making her a full-time live in nanny which works perfectly for my work schedule and Tiana, who agreed to go back to school. I’m beyond proud of her.

“He’s good. I got Pollie so I’m not worried”.

I laughed, pulling her into a hug. Giving her one more kiss, I grabbed Tiana and my suitcase and headed to the front door.

“Alright you got both our numbers, so does Pollie. She said she’ll drop them off and pick them up from school which will be easier on you. The both read every night for 20 minutes. They always have homework, Pollie will help with all that too. Bedtime is 8:30 pm”.

She nodded, bouncing Titan on her hip.

“Alright. We gotta go. Bye Papitos, bye baby”.

Tiana gave Titan and Trent a kiss then pecked Sanaa’s cheek.

“Facetime Us tonight”.

Hopping on the elevator, we waved goodbye until the doors finally closed. Tiana exhaled,letting her head lean on the wall. 

"What's wrong?".

Stepping off the elevator we walked towards the car. My hands full with both our bags. 

"I've never left my babies alone for a long period of time". 

I smiled, throwing our bags in the trunk then kissing her cheek.

"They're gonna be OK. And so are you". 

She smiled with a nod then hopped in the passenger seat.

Lourdes

10:10 am

I pulled my jacket up on my shoulder and sat on the front stoop. Pulling a fresh blunt from my pocket, I grabbed the lighter and sparked it up. I always do this shit, every morning. Cops go by and don’t say shit, I guess they ain’t got time to deal with anything in the morning.

I smiled to myself taking a pull and looked at the blunt. I need this to start my morning off. Every damn day, dealing with those crazy ass people at the call center. Taking another pull, I let the smoke fill my lungs then blew it out. Scrolling through my Instagram, I tapped on many pictures and shaking my head at a few. As soon as I was about to get up a shadow was casted over me. Looking up and shading my eyes from the winter sun, I gasped.

“Surprise surprise”

Dominic spoke, sitting beside me and taking the blunt from my hands I watched as his 4 friends sat in a car and the other 2 stood infront of us. How the fuck did he get out.

“Wondering how I got out, with a lawyer as good as mine, anything is fucking possible.... where the fuck is Tiana?”.

I shook my head, obvious lying but he don’t know that shit for certain.

He chuckled darkly and grabbed my neck, looking around the block with ease then leaning in towards me ear.

“I’m looking at 50 in the cage, I ain’t got shit to loose. So let her know, he head is mine”.

I said nothing, only looking at his cold dark eyes. Getting up, he dusted his pants and took another hit from the blunt before handing it back to me. I watched as they all left my street. Making sure they was all out of site, I pulled out my phone and texted Tiana.

Tiana

2:22 pm

We was on the 4th house of the day. I was worn out, but this one was beyond gorgeous. The whole New Orleans vibe was amazing. Beautiful people, amazing culture. I can’t wait to bring the kids and settle. We agreed to enroll the kids into a Private French school, Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans. Can you believe Trent is gonna be learning and speaking French, I’m excited for him. This is gonna be such a fresh start for the boys. 

I held King’s hand as we walked through the house with the realtor. It really was a amazing house, Lot’s of space. I can see my decorating skills being put to work.

“And this is how many bedrooms?”.

“It’s 6 bedroom and 8 bathroom 5,955 sqft home.. Definitely fit for a big family. The pool as you can see is that way. It includes a formal den, dining and living room, game and exercise room, a office and it also includes a media room”.

King smiled, turning around while looking up at the ceiling.

“Do you like it?”.

He questioned. I chuckled shrugging my shoulders.

“I like anything that got a roof on it”.

He smacked his teeth and put his arm over my shoulder.

“How much are we talking again?”.

“$949,000... It’s in the center of a lot of rich history, awesome schools. This neighborhood is one of the best. The crime rate is very low. I have sold at least 8 homes in this area”.

The women spoke. I smiled nodding my head. It was big, but it was beautiful.  I could see us being here. As soon as I was about to say something, my phone began to go off. Smiling at King and the realtor, I raised my finger and removed myself from the conversation.

Stepping back a little, I answered the phone with a smile.

Tiana: Wassup Lol-

Lourdes: Tiana, get the fuck up of of New York asap my nigga

My smile dropped and my heart began to race.

Tiana: What you talking about, what’d going on.

Lourdes: Yo, I was smoking my usual J this morning and Fucking Dominic and his niggas rolled up on me. Talking about he out on bond and he aint got shit to loose. Nigga said if he see you it’s over.

My mind was racing, my thoughts were everywhere. Why was this nigga out on bail, nothing was told to me at all.

Tiana: Ima call you back.

Hanging up quickly, I immediately called Pollie.

5:22 pm

“So you had no Idea he would get out on bo-”

“Baby I already told you I didn’t know shit. They didn’t tell me shit. With all them charges I didn’t even fathom the thought of him getting out of there.

I paced the hotel room. I told Pollie to pick the kids up immediately and head home. I’m not comfortable with the thought of him being out and the kids back in New York in his plain sight.

King approached me and grabbed my waist. I shook my head trying to push away only to have him hold tighter.

“Aye, I told you I’ll go get the kids tonight. We move in a week anyway. We can stay in the hotel for the rest of the week, Friday I get our shit moved, and Sunday we settled in. I put that on my life, I ain’t gonna let shit happen to you and I’ll kill a nigga before I loose you...You trust me”.

I nodded, letting a tear roll down my cheek. Pulling him into a hug I held on tight. Not wanting to let go at all.

Tiana

9:22 am

“Well then you put him up there cause I can’t cause he’s heavy”.

My eyes fluttered open at the sound of Trent fussing at Sanaa.

“What’s wrong?”.

I grumbled, adjusting my eyes to the morning light.

“Umm Titan keeps pulling the game out my hand”.

I smiled, taking the baby from Sanaa’s grip and pulling him on the bed.

“I’ll make breakfast in a minute”.

I grumbled. They both nodded, running out the bedroom and back down to the room. I looked at Titan as he laid calmly looking at the ceiling. Peeking behind me, I smiled at King who was soundly sleeping. Last night was amazing,  can’t tell you the last time I had sex. It’s been literally forever, and he made it all worth wild. He held me close afterwards and just rubbed my back, I feel so lucky to have him.

“Papi... why are you up so early”.

Titan turned his head and smiled at me, pulling his socks off his feet and throwing them to the ground. I smacked my teeth, grabbing my phone from the night stand and opening Instagram

Throwing my phone back on the night stand, I pulled him close and nuzzled my head into his neck causing him to laugh. I felt the right side of the bed shift and a light kiss on my shoulder. Slightly turning over, I pecked his lips and smiled.

“Good morning”.

He spoke, nuzzling his face in my neck and kissing it softly. I rubbed the hand that he tossed around my waist, still smiling at Titan.

“What you doing in here boy?”.

King questioned. Titan smiled turning his head away causing the both of us o laugh.

“Did you think about what we talked about yesterday?”.

He questioned, I laid on my back, rolling my eyes to the ceiling. I just don’t think I’m fit to be a stay at home parent. Like not working doesn’t seem normal to me.

“I don’t know baby, It’s just I wanna work...”

“I know but you gotta have a good education to have a real jo-”

“Yeah and that cost money”.

I shot back. I rubbed head and sat up, resting his body on his elbow.

“I  know and I said I got you. Can you just trust me please...please”.

I smirked, trying to hid my grinning face. 

“Ok, I’ll look into some schools today... Happy?”.

He nodded, pulling my close to him and kissing my lips.

“Hey uh Sanaa has Gymnastic’s and Trent has boxing thing is toda-”

“Oh shit!”.

Hopping up quickly from the bed, I grabbed my underwear that were balled up beside the bed and pulled them on. Grabbing Titan, I rushed out the bedroom and to the kitchen to prepare the kids food and Titan a bottle.

King

10:30 am

I stood in my closet, looking at clothes and going through my phone. I was thinking about the night with Tiana. I can’t explain it, I never thought I could really feel for  another women like I felt for my wife. My thoughts were cut short at the sound of my business phone ringing. I reached onto the shelf and slid the green bar over.

King: Kingston Emmanuel

Scott: Hey Kingston, It’s Scott Richards.

King: Oh, Hey wassup man

Scott: Nothing much, I did however want to go over this new firm that you’re financing in New Orleans

King: I’ve got time

Scott: Well sir, It’s time to make the move. I know you tried to stay in New York for as long as possible. 2 of our 4 high authority’s need to go to New Orleans and keep things running smoothly. Being that you’re the Chief Executive Officer and your CFO is Terrance Walsh, you are the two that have to be moved to New Orleans.

I exhaled, running my hands over my eyes. I wasn’t expecting to hear this for another year or two.

King: Ummm, alright. I’ll hold a closing meeting Monday and from their we will choose a president.

Scott: Ok. Good day Mr. Emmanuel 

I exhaled placing my phone down and thinking about how all this was going to play out. I’ve got decisions to make and little time to make them. I wiped over my mouth and nodded to myself. I got this

“Daddy, we’re ready”.

I turned around, looking at Sanaa with a smile. I nodded, grabbing my jacket and following her out my closet. Walking to the front. I smiled at Trent as he slowly but surely laced up his sneakers. Grabbing Titan, I placed his jacket and hat on him and looked down at my watch.

“Baby we gotta g-”

“I’m right here I’m right here”.

I smiled, licking my lips at her nicely sculpted body.

“Baby I gotta talk to you about something”.

I spoke to Tiana as we hopped on the elevator and headed down to the garage.

“about what.. is it bad”.

I shrugged, then rethought and shook my head.

“No not at all if you’re willing to be open minded”.

She starred at me as she got into the passenger seat of my car. I don’t know how she’ll take all this, but if she takes it well then we can move forward.

Tiana

1:42 pm 

“So what did you have to talk about?”.

I questioned King. The whole conversation has been burning me. I really wanna know whats so important. I held Titan on my hip and Sanaa and Trent ran ahead exploring the Modern Museam of art.

“Baby I w-”

“No King, I want to know now. I’ve been waiting all day. So wassup”.

He exhaled, watching a group of people walk by then shoving his hands in his pocket.

“About a year ago, I started another firm in New Orleans. It’s been running smoothly but the President I had left in charge was charged wih embezzlement so he had to be removed from chair. Long story short, It can’t be ran without anyone in charge, and since no one else is qualified and I am Chief Executive Official... I have to move to New Orleans”.

I stopped in my tracks and my heart dropped. The room seemed to get smaller and the small chatter became nonexistent. Finding a bench close near, I quickly sat down, collecting myself and thoughts. I watched as he sat down beside me and caressed  my back.

“Where does that leave us?”.

I questioned, trying not to explode in anger.

“We’ve come this far and I’m not trying to loose you... would you be willing to come with me”.

My mouth dropped. Turning my head, I quickly wiped a single tear that was on my cheek.

“How? I have no mo-”

“But I told you I got you. I meant everything I said Tiana. I don’t want all this time I invested in you to go to waste”.

My thoughts were everywhere. I didn’t know what to say. I was flattered that I was in his plans, but I don’t know how to feel about picking up and moving to another state.

“This is all just happening so fast. I’ve never felt this way before...I’ve never been so happy with someone and so well appreciated......I’m scared to get hurt”.

Placing his arm around my shoulder, he pulled me to him and kissed me forehead.

“You don’t have to be...I got you. Just tell me I won’t have to go to New Orleans alone”.

2 month Later 

Thanksgiving Day 6:22 pm

“I really never even wore these before”.

Trent spoke out holding his shoes towards me. It’s been a few weeks and Tiana and the boys have been spending nights here with me. I don’t mind it at all, I love waking up beside Tiana and it kinda got me thinking. Anyway, my mother was having Thanksgiving dinner at her house. This would be my first time Introducing her to my mother. She was nervous as hell, I guess she thinks my mother would be the judgmental type but she’s far from that. My mom is actually excited.

“That’s because I bought them the other day. Put them on”.

He nodded, sitting on the floor of my room and putting his shoes on his feet. I know it’s corny as well but when it comes to kids matching, I be down for it. I got Trent and Titan matching outfits. Maybe it’s the Law school in my that likes certain things perfect. They look good though.

I picked Titan off the floor and placed his shoes on his feet. I looked up when I seen Sanaa in the corner of my eye run towards me with a smile.

“You look nice baby”.

She smiled doing a small twirl then playing with Titan’s hands. After I finished, I placed the baby on the floor then walked into my bathroom. Smiling I eased behind Tiana and kissed her neck.

“Why you look nervous?”.

“I am, just a little. Haven’t met a dudes mom or family before”.

I smiled, turning her around towards me and pecking her lips.

“Don’t overthink it or sweat it. Everybody is going to love you”.

She turned around and placed her arms around my neck.

“I’m just nervous you know. This is new to me”.

“If you begin to feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed we can step out and leave for a second or something”.

She smiled a little and nodded her head.

“Ok, just don’t leave me alone”.

“You know better then that”.

I smiled, giving her a hug. This past month hasn’t been anything short of great. We had a argument a few weeks ago, but it was over some petty shit and on top of that it only lasted a couple minutes. She’s special to me, and I think she deserves to be introduced, especially if she’s gonna be around for a while.

“Alright... Lets go”.

We all scrambled around, grabbing our coats then heading out the door and the car. After everybody was in, I pulled off and out the garage.

“Daddy?”.

Sanaa’s small voice squeaked from the back seat.

“Wassup baby?”.

“Are we still going on our trip?”.

I looked at her and shrugged. I had forgot all about our little vacation. To be honest it was the last thing on my mind but I guess the perfect time to bring it up would be now. Leaning back in the seat a little, I got comfortable then looked over at Tiana.

“So babe, at the end of this month we suppose to be doing this little trip to Puerto Rico we do every year. It’s for a week. Do you want to come, you and the boys?”.

She smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

“Oh I have to check my schedule”.

I smacked my teeth and nudged her arm a little. Her ass is coming, I’ma make sure of it. Getting back comfortable, I turned up Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt Album and we enjoyed the rest of the ride.

Tiana

7:02 pm

I blew air out my mouth as we sat in the front of his mothers house. Cars were parked up and down the street and in her driveway. I know the shit was packed. Looking over at King he leaned over and rubbed my hand. Getting out the car he then closed the door and opened the backseat grabbing Titan and his bag.

Getting over my fear, I stepped out the car and cleared my head of all negative thoughts. I watched as the kids dashed to the front door. Including Trent as if he been here before. At least he felt right at home. Approach the front door, King then opened the door and all heads turned our way. My mouth instantly started to feel like cotton and my stomach tightened. 

King held my hand and guided me through the house as he talked to family members.

“Mama!”.

He hollered over the loud music. She snapped around from the stove and ran over to him with her arms wide. He smiled, gently letting my hand go and embracing her. Finally letting her go, he then back up beside me and put his free arm around my waist.

“Mama this is Tiana. And he boys Titan and Trent. Tiana this is my mother Roe”.

His mom smiled, looking at the boys and taking Titan from his arms. Rubbing her hands through his red hair she then looked at me and smiled. As I extended my hand, she moved it and pulled me into a warm hug. I smiled, feeling instant relief of the nervousness.

“It’s nice to finally meet you guys. Now, I’ve seen the boys on face time when Sanaa blows me up, but it is a pleasure to finally meet you. You’re beautiful”.

My heart fluttered and my cheeks grew warm.

“Thank you. The feeling is mutual, I admire you as a women and mother”.

Her and King both smiled at me, she moved King and wrapped her arm around my shoulder.

“Well how about you stick around in the family so we can become closer”.

I nodded looking up at King with a smile.

“Go play Sanaa and Trent”.

King ordered. They nodded, taking off out the kitchen and upstairs with the other kids.

“Can you cook baby?”.

His Mother asked. I nodded looking at Kingston as he walked into the living with Titan in his arms. I began to help his mother with basic things in the kitchen, talking as we went along.

“So, how do you feel about Kingston”.

I exhaled, chuckling to myself a little and looking as he interacted with Titan.

“He’s amazing. Nothing I’ve ever experienced to be honest. The thing that attracted me to him most was of course his respect, but how he was with my kids”.

She laughed wiping her hands and looking at me.

“Funny. He said the same thing about you. Sanaa talks about you all day. He said ‘I like her as a mother first’”

I smiled, because this was the first time I was actually complimented on my mothering skills.

“Well I’ll tell you this, about a month ago he came in here and told me, about you. Said how much he liked you and felt he was moving fast but couldn’t help it. I told him to just go with it, if it means a lot it will stay around and won’t linger away.... needless to say not only is he happy you didn’t wonder away but so am I. I love seeing him smile”.

I smiled, making eye contact with him. His smile was warm and assuring of all I needed to know.

“Well, I tell you what. I feel blessed to have met him. His molding me into a new women”.

She nodded and let out a laugh.

“Which is what a good man should do”.

King

1:55 am

To say the night went well was an understatement. The kids had fun, Tiana loosened up and my family loved her. As soon as we got in the house, we laid the kids in the bed and laid up in my bed just watching TV.

I was beyond tired, but seems like at the late hour we had much to talk about. Finally turning out the light, I pulled her small body close to mines and began kissing her neck.

“You know you suppose to start the job as my assistant next Monday”.

He head nodded under my chin. It was a good idea at first, but now I think I’m having a change of heart about it.

“Well I don’t think you can anymore. Since we doing this”.

She smacked her teeth turning towards me and wrapping her arm over my rib cage.

“So what, I need to work”.

“I’ll take care of yo-”.

“No Kingston.... You’ve really done enough”.

I smacked my teeth giving her back a tap.

“That’s what a real nigga, a real man is suppose to do baby. And I don’t mind doing that”.

The room was quiet. The only thing heard was the rain against the window.

“So what am I suppose to do. Sit home and knit”.

I laughed, moving my head back then shaking my head.

“How about you go back to design school. I really think you can be a dope ass designer. Even as far as a personal stylist”.

She smacked her teeth. She didn’t see it yet, but I sure as hell do. 

“I’m serious. I see it”.

I pulled her closer and pecked her lips. As the kiss deepened my hands roamed up her shirt then down her thigh. As soon as I felt HIM getting bigger, she gently pushed my chest.

“I’ll stop baby. I know it’s too soon. I’m sorry”.

She nodded lightly, but then pulled me in for another kiss. This time i climbed on top of her with her small frame in between my legs. Once again he got hard and she stopped kissing. I chuckled lightly.

“Damn you can’t make up your mi-”

“No it’s not that. It’s been forever. I only been with one person and... I’m scared to getting hurt. And it’s soon, I don’t wanna feel like a hoe”

I shook my head, kissing the crook of her neck. 

“I don’t see you as a hoe. If you mine you mine. And I’m not gonna hurt you baby. On my daughter. I don’t know what you been through and how you was treated, but Ima give you the world. You are a queen”.

She smiled, pulling me into a kiss. This time I grew larger, and she didn’t stop.  

I decided to pleasure her. Let her be the one to enjoy this first, moving my head down I kissed down to her naval then looked up at her. Pulling up the oversize T-Shirt she wore, I coming face to face with her paradise. I licked my lips, putting her legs on my shoulders and feasting. Wrapping my lips around her, I stuck my tongue in as far as it would go, causing her warm juices to slowly pour out. She was sweet. She let out a scream throwing her head back and gripping the sheets. 

I pressing down hard on her clit watching her try to contain her screams. Finally moving away from between her legs, I returned to her face. Giving her another deep kiss. Grabbing the waistband of my briefs, I pushed them down my legs causing my member to spring into action. 

“Are you sure baby. I don’t mind waiting?”.

She nodded, placing her arms on my shoulders. 

I hooked my arms under her legs and pulled her closer to me slowly sliding into her. She let a long and overdue gasp. 

“Shitt….. wait baby”.

Securing her arms tightly around my neck, she held on for support and leaned in as I pumped in and out of her pussy. I could feel her tensing up. I looked down at her and kissed her forehead.

“Relax Baby” 

I mumbled in a husky voice. She nodded pulling me down and burying her face in my neck. I bit down hard on my bottom lip a her pussy sucking me in. I could have nut right then and there, but I was gonna dance in this shit. The harder I pumped, the more I felt  her juices flow down my shaft. 

“Mmmmmmhmmmmmm Papi no se detienen”. 

She moaned in my ear, It was music for my dick. Let me find out I got me a freaky ass Latina. After I realized she had adjusted, I trusted harder and began demolishing her pussy, it took me no time to make her cum for the third time tonight.

 I continued working my hips and rotating inside of her, my sweat drip down to her forehead. I pulled out the rammed back into her, doing deep but slow strokes. She threw he head back with her eyes closed moving her hips with mine. She screamed as her pussy gripped my dick. It was going to be a long night.

Tiana

7:20 am

I held both boys in my arms, struggling to hold them up. Kicking the door lightly I stood there, holding onto the boys for dear life. As soon as I felt my grip slipping, a sleepy Kingston answered the door. He rubbed his eyes lightly before smiling and grabbing Trent from my arms.

“You got me over here early and you still sleep?”.

I whispered, closing the door behind me and dropping a bag at the door. He smiled shaking his head and walking down the hall.

“You late anyway”.

I shrugged, laughing a little. I watched as he opened the door to Sanaa’s room. Placing Trent on one side, he took Titan and placed him on the other side of Sanaa then walked out the door with me behind him. 

I bit my bottom lip as he flexed his back a little. This was the first time I’ve seen him topless and I’m just seeing a few of his tattoos. I didn’t take him as the type to have any but I like it. 

“You can go sleep. I’ma about to coo-”

“I can help”.

I urged. I mean I was tired, but I’ve never had male cook for me. Matter fact I was taught to always cook for a man.

“It’s straight. I got this. My room is that first turn on the left... go Tiana”.

I smacked my lips but did as I was asked. This was new. Walking into his room I looked at his bed. I really don’t know how to feel about laying in a bed him and his wife shared. Exhaling I quickly got over it and walked to the side that already looked as if he was sleeping in.

Curling up in his cover I smiled to myself, taking in his body wash aroma what was in his sheets. Before I knew it I was out cold.

8:19 am

Peeking my head into Sanaa room, I shook my head at the sight of them all still sleep. I yawned carrying the tray full of food carefully, to my room and smiled at  Tiana who was sitting up straight with her feet crossed. 

Easing my way in the room, she perked up at bit trying to peek at the tray. Now I was a little rusty at all this but I’m sure she’ll appreciate the gesture. Walking beside her, I sat the tray on her lap and moved the glass of orange juice to the nightstand. She smiled brightly, then looked up at me with wide eyes.

“Thank you king”.

I bent down, kissing her cheek and falling back at the bottom of the bed.

“It’s nothing. Try it though, tell me how I did”.

Nodding, she grabbed her fork and stabbed into the scrambled eggs. Shoving some in her mouth she slowly chewed. Her eyes brighten up and she nodded.

“It’s good, I love it”.

I smiled, laying back with my hands behind my head. The silence was golden, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Her presence placed a permanent smile on my face.

“You know I never had a guy, cook for me?”.

I scoffed and shook my head with my eyes clothes.

“Well you ain’t been fucking with the right niggas...you worth a lot. More then you think”.

I sat up, smiling at her and stealing a piece of turkey bacon off her plate.

“Oh yeah, well what do you see when you see me?”.

I let air out my nose and thought a little about what to say next.

“Well I see Character, Respect, Confidence, Strength, Ambition, You’re an amazing mother, I can see that you have a beautiful heart. Humility, you’re an all around amazing girl. Something I haven’t seen in a women since my last wife”.

She smiled, dropping her head and looking down at me.

“I don’t know, I don’t feel like I’d be good enough for y-”

“You’re right....you’re more then enough”.

Scooting closer up the bed, I leaned over the tray starring at her lips. I slowly moved in, smiling as her breathing picked up a little. I wasn’t moving in anymore. I didn’t want her too feel pressured. Her face moved closer to mine, finally pressing my lips against hers, I held the kiss for a bit before adding a bit of tongue. She grabbed the side of my face, pecking my lips once more then leaning her forehead on mine and smiling.

“I know you been waiting to do that?”.

She mumbled against my lips. I laughed, throwing my head back then returning to her lips.

“I have, I have no doubt”.

6:22 pm

"So to whom do I owe this surprise visit to. I thought coming to Mt Vernon was too much a hassle for my baby boy?".

My mother quested with a smile as she placed a plate upfront of me and Sanaa before taking a seat herself. I smiled, shaking my head and diving into the plate.

"Nobody mama. We missed you and had to come check on you".

She chuckled a bit, stabbing a carrot with her fork then placing it in her mouth.

"Well I guess I can't argue with that. How is school Sanaa".

Sanaa smiled, placing her drink on the table and biting into her chicken. 

"Good. It's good. I'm in the spelling bee".

My mother's eyes opened sigh excitement. My baby was a little me. From staying up all night doing puzzles to entering in spelling bees. 

"Nana is gonna have to come see her baby then huh? How about you Kingston, how's work been?".

I smiled, it was a involuntary action but it happened. The small thought of Tiana had me smiling these days.

"Good. Just finished up a trail hearing today. It's been extended to next month, but I got my point across and in the end was satisfied".

My mom nodded, crossing her fingers. 

"So whose the girl".

I chocked a bit looking at my mom in confusion. 

"Baby go watch TV for a second".

I ordered Sanaa. I waited until she was fully out of kitchen  before continuing the conversation. 

"What you m-".

"Oh boy I know. I'm ya mama. I can always tell when something new is occurring in your life. So again who is she".

I smiled, wiping my mouth and taking a sip of my Hennessy and Coke and engaged back. 

"A female I met while working on this case. I don't know, I feel I shouldn't be feeling like this because Regina passing wasn't too long ago, but I do".

She nodded and continued listening.

"It's a tricky situation ma. She been through shit, I been through shit. But when we together and don't even matter". 

My mother was the best listener. I might be the lawyer in the family, but she damn sure is the problem solver and mediator for all problems. 

"I'm gonna tell you something I know Bout God. In everything he does, He makes no mistakes. Everything in our life is like a puzzle, it comes together how he wants it to. I want you to think about your feelings and really process them..." 

She took a sip of water and continued. 

"Weight out your outcome. Think about the cons and pros. If the pros outweigh everything else that could be a wall preventing you from taking the next step, then baby make that step. Whatever you choose, I'm your support and welcome all with open arms.... Pain is inevitable, that's true. But you work upward from that pain. It's OK to plan on being happy again Kingston".

Tiana

7:02 pm

I sat in the living room of Lourdes apartment. I decided after the first hearing and being how successful it was to come visit her and share the good news. I haven’t seen her in a little minute and I missed her.

“So he’s not getting the choice of bond?”.

I smiled, shaking my head and taking a sip of my wine. I wasn’t amused at his suffrage, but at my freedom. I was finally free, this trail was definitely going in the right way. Even though I was at first nervous about testifying, I got over it and did what I had to do.

“Good, because he deserves it. That must be a good ass lawyer”.

My heart fluttered at the thought of him. I do owe much of this happiness to him. He dedicated time and care. Ever since he said he’d do his job he’s done beyond that. And hearing him say ‘trust me’ made my stomach tighten.

“What? Why you look all like that when I mentioned him?”.

I laughed, shrugging her off.

“What are you talking about. He’s just the lawyer”.

“Yeah the lawyer you like. It;s ok baby, I see it all in your grill?”.

I exhaled, shrugging my shoulders. It was hard to deny. He had me feeling sometime of way explainable.

“I mean, I don’t know. I just feel new with him. Like it don’t matter my past and all the shit I’m in now. He sees past all that. Like my flaws don’t bother him. I can’t explain this feeling enough. It’s unfathomable”.

Lourdes smiled, scooting closer to me and wrapping her arm over my shoulder. As soon as she was about to say something. My phone began going off. Scrambling for it, I quickly grabbed it from under me and smiling. Sliding the bar to the side I took a deep breath before speaking.

Tiana: Hello

King: Hey wassup? What you up to.

Tiana: Having a drink with Lourdes. What about yourself.

King: Just finished dinner with my mom. But you know the kids don’t have school tomorrow. So I .. I mean Sanaa was wondering if you wanted to do something tomorrow

I smiled to myself as he finished his stampeding and nodded to myself.

Tiana: I’d love to.. What time should I mee-”

King: Just uh, just be to my house around 6 in the morning.

I laughed to myself. That’s early as shit for a weekend. But I was for it.

Tiana: Ok. I’ll see you then

Ending the call  I smiled at Lourdes and bounced on the couch a little. This might seem weird to some to be falling for my lawyer. But shit if it’s wrong I don’t want to be right.

7:39 pm

“What else we need for breakfast Sanaa?”.

I questioned as we walked down the isle of our local grocery store. I haven’t cooked breakfast in a while, I usually ask Polly to handle it, but tomorrow I’m cooking. Last person I cooked breakfast for was Regina but I decided to take my moms advice and weigh out the pros and cons. And from my understanding the pros outweighed substantially. 

“Umm Chocolate Chips. I want Chocolate chip pancakes”.

She spoke in her small voice. I nodded, watching her throw the chips into the basket. We continued walking and grabbing all the things we needed for tomorrow. Making our way to check out, I pulled Sanaa close to me.

“So, how do you feel about Tiana joining us for a day?”.

She shrugged and began hanging in the handle bar of the cart.

“I don;t know. I;m excited. I know you think I’m upset because she’s not mommy, but it’s ok. She’s a friend right?”.

I nodded, but what would be the point of lying to my child. I want to be upfront with her and process her feelings along the way.

“Baby, what if daddy liked her more then a friend?”.

She stopped playing, then turned around to me and looked me in the face.

“Like how you liked mommy”.

I exhaled and nodded.

“Well. I guess that’s ok. It’s ok, cause I like her like I liked mommy”.

I laughed leaning down and kissing her check. If she accepts and agrees then aint shit anybody can say. I’m gonna plan to be happy again. Taking it slow of course but I am determined to love again.
