Zayden's POV
Something was up with that phone call with Uncle Hakeem.
Its like he knows something I don't.
I walked in Shaun's house to see him cooking and dancing around it one of my shirts.
I leaned against the door frame and watched him for a couple of minutes then eased up behind.
I wrapped my arms around his waist and he just about jumped a foot in the air.
I chuckled in his ear then kissed his cheeked.
"Dammit Zayden I’ve told you about sneaking up on me. Don't be an ass."
I popped his thigh lightly but he still jumped.
"I’ve told you about cussing at me and I couldn't help it you were just in your own little world."
He rolled his eyes and continued to cook what looked like stir fry.
"Why are you here anyway?"
I frowned.
"You're not happy to see me?" I said turning him around.
He sighed. "Its not that but shouldn't you be at home with your wife." He said with jealousy seeping through his words.
I pulled him close to me and kissed his forehead.
"Lets not have this conversation right now."
He pulled back quickly. " What do you mean lets not have this conversation! I tired of this. Every time I bring it up you brush it off like its nothing. I’m tired of being on the side while everyone thinks you're just the happy married couple. If you don't tell her soon there is no reason for us to continue this relationship." He snatched away turning off the food.
"I'm going to tell her Shaun but she has so much on her plate right now with the twins father being out of jail after he nearly killed us both. I don't think she could handle that."
"What about me huh? You don't think I feel some type of way about this? I have to hide the fact that I’m in love with you because you want to wait. I understand you're considering her feelings but what about my feelings. I’m suppose to be your one and only." I saw tears gather in his eyes and knew this conversation had taken a turn for the worst.
"Baby I know and I promise that I will tell her as soon as these calm down and then we'll be together. I promise."
He shook his head slowly.
"You've been saying that for a year now. I don't think I can hold out any longer."
"What are you saying?"
He looked at me with tears streaming down his face.
"I don't want to see your face again unless you tell her." My heart shattered.
I reached for him. "Shaun you don't mean that."
He stepped away from me.
"I think its best that you leave."
"Shaun--"
"GET OUT!" I nodded my head.
"Fine I'll go but don't act like this doesn't hurt you as much as it hurts me." I say before walking out the door.
I sat in my car outside his house and laid my head on the steering wheel.
My heart sat in this house. I knew he was crying his eyes out and I hate that it's because of me.
It's time to man up and let the world know before I lose him.
I picked up my phone and dialed a number.
"Hello?"
I took a deep breath.
"Can we talk...Uncle Hakeem?"
Zyaria's POV
I walked inside of JaMarion's office to see him on the computer with his eyebrow raised.
I've been here all night. He cooked me dinner we played a few games on his Xbox one and then watched a couple movies.
We didn't bring up the past I think he wanted to wait to actually talk about it which was fine with me. I fell asleep while we were watching the last movie and I guess he snuck off to his office.
Now here we are.
I giggled because he looked funny.
He looked up finally realizing I had walked in.
"What's funny Zy?"
"That thing you do with your eyebrow. It makes you look funny now I see where JaMar and JaMya get it from."
"They raise their eyebrow." He asked clearly amused that they act like him.
I sat in the chair in front of his desk and nodded.
"Yes they do. JaMar does it to Uncle Hakeem when he tells him he gone smack some sense into him. JaMya does it when people tell her to do something. "
He chuckled.
"Yep those are daddy's babies." I rolled my eyes again.
"What I tell you about them eyes girl? I hope you aint teach my daughter that."
I looked at this nigga sideways. I just don't know who he think he talking to.
"And don't be talking s**t in your head either."
"I wasn't even talking shit." I mumbled folding my arms.
"Yeah right. You always talking s**t Zy. "
"Anyways what you doing on the computer nigga?"
He frowned.
"Looking at a b***h nigga."
I laughed but when I looked up I realized he was serious so I shut up.
"What b***h nigga?"
He leaned back in his chair and studied me.
"First you have to promise you wont get mad at me."
I furrowed my eyebrows confused.
"Why would I get mad at you?"
"Just promise Zy."
"Okay I promise now what's going on?"
"Come here."
I got up and walked around his desk and looked at the computer.
"What the f**k?"
I looked at JaMarion who wouldn't even look towards me.
"Did you do this?" I asked angrily.
His head snapped to me faster than I had time to comprehend.
"What you mean did I do this? How the f**k am I gone do something like this?"
"Simple you could have photo shopped it."
He rolled his eyes at me.
"You are so naïve Zy. If I photoshopped it why would I have the original." He said pulling out a folding and taking out the same photos I was seeing on the computer.
There were over hundreds of pictures of Zayden and some man.
He looks very familiar. I would have thought this was just his friend if I didn't some of them kissing and holding hands.
"How did you get these?" I said not realizing JaMarion had pulled me down on his lap.
"I may or may have not broken into your house."
I turned to him quickly.
"What the hell JaMarion?'
"Now before you spazz out I was only looking out for you. Damien told me Zayden was sleeping with his cousin and I know I would need proof before I came to you about it so I went snooping."
I put my head in my hands.
"I knew he was cheating on me but I never would have guessed it was with a man. This is not something I want to deal with right now."
Wait a minute.
"Did you say Damien's cousin?"
He hesitated.
"Yeah."
"So Damien knew this whole time and didn't bother to tell me and now I remember him. We met at one of Damien's birthday parties. This cant be happening."
I shook my head and sighed.
"I got cheated on with a man. I cant even lie like this doesn't hurt my pride."
"Zy at least you know the truth now."
"I know but he wasn't even man enough to tell me."
He nodded in agreement.
"I could have some things happen to him."
"No leave him alone JaMarion I really don't want you to get involved in this but thank you for telling me."
I tried to get out of his lap.
"Where you going, I like you right here." I rolled my eyes and looked at him.
"I need food nigga move."
He chuckled.
"Your lil short ass always eating but don't ever grow."
I smacked my lips.
"So nigga now let me go to your wonderful kitchen."
He didn't let me up but he got up though.
I wrapped my legs around him instantly.
"Its a damn shame how I can carry yo ass like a baby."
"You could always put me down."
"Nah you can stay right here."
I rolled my eyes and immediately regretted it.
He pretended to drop me lord.
I almost had a heart attack.
He laughed loudly and continued walking.
"That is not funny JaMarion I could have died I’m already afraid of heights and you want to be an asshole."
He just chuckled then said, "You should a never rolled them eyes."
He better be lucky he holding me I should cut him.
"Don't be talking s**t in your head again."
I mean mugged the side of his face.
Cant stand his ass.
"I got yo lil mean ass." He said and then took off down the stairs with me.
Why he trying to kill me lord. I’m sorry for whatever I did.
I was a crying mess when we got to the bottom.
"Zy you really crying over that lil run down the stairs."
Nigga that wasn't no lil run them stairs go up and around.
I ignored him and tried to get down but he wouldn't let me.
"You could have dropped me and then I would have rolled down the stairs and be hurt then it would have been all your fault. " I sobbed out. "Stupid ass."
He moved my hands away from my face while I was rubbing my eyes.
"I bet you still want some food though witcha crybaby ass."
I nodded sniffling and he just started laughing again and walked towards the kitchen.
Ole stupid ass I should poison him in his sleep.
Uncle Hakeem's POV
I was trying to take a nap before Zayden showed up but my phone started ringing.
Without looking at the caller ID I picked up.
"Hakeem speaking."
"Well if it isn't my dear old brother that forgot about me? How's my daughter?"
I looked at my phone in disbelief.
It read Unknown Caller.
"Who is this?"
"What do you mean its me Hakeem. You don't recognize the voice of your own brother?"
I shook my head.
"My brother died years ago."
"I don't recall there ever being a body."
"The rivals took his body and burned it. I saw the ashes myself."
"You saw some ashes not mine."
"How do I know that this is for real?"
"Because only I know about Jada and Puerto Rico."
I gasped.
"But how? We thought you were dead."
"I thought I was too but I want to know is how is my baby girl?'
"Welllllllllll........You’re a grandfather."
There was a pause on the line.
"Say what!"
Ohhhhhh s**t.
