Zayden's POV I pulled up at Zy's house and got out quickly. She had called me fifteen minutes ago and let me know that she was home. I came as soon as I got her call. I want to get this over quickly because no matter what I will still go back to Shaun. I unlocked the door and looked up when I heard the twins giggling. What surprised me the most was who they were laughing at. He was sitting here in this house like it was his. "What the hell are you doing here?" I asked when he looked and the twins stopped laughing. "Don't talk to daddy like that." Mya said before jumping in his lap. He kissed her forehead then looked back at me. "I'm spending time with my kids that I just met that's what I'm doing here. You came here to talk to Zy and she's in the kitchen." "Well maybe had you not have been a b***h and manned up to your responsibilities you would have been by Zy's side when they were born. Instead you thought it was best to kill--" He hopped up off the couch and launched towards me and punched me in the mouth. I staggered back caught off guard. "You not finna talk to me any kind of way in front of my babies. I don't care if you don't like me but You gone respect me especially in front of them. They are all that I care about besides their mother now do yourself a favor and step up out my face and run back to Shaun." My heart dropped and my eyes widened. By this time Zy had walked out of the kitchen and she was holding the twins hands as they had little tears streaming down their face. "JaMarion," she called to him. He closed his eyes then opened them again. The blackness was gone and replaced with his hazel eyes. He turned away from me and walked towards her. The twins reached for him and he picked them up then they laid their heads on his shoulders as he walked off with them. Zy looked at me and folded her arms then she walked up to me and raised her hand and slapped me. My head snapped to the side but I didn't say anything. I knew better especially when it came to Zy. "That was for talking like that in front of my kids. You know how I feel about that and before we go any further with this conversation I just want to know why you felt like you couldn't come to me with this. I was once your best friend before all of this happened. I'm still your best friend before anything. We made this promise when we were kids Zayden." There was a lump in my throat when she finished. I cleared my throat before I started. "Zy I didn't know how to tell you. It took me so long to come to terms with myself. Back when I first came here I thought my love for you as a best friend would help me fall in love with you because let's face it our family expected it us to grow old together. At Damien's birthday party that day something clicked with me when I saw Shaun. I can't even explain how it got to where it did. I wanted to tell you plenty of time but I didn't know how to bring it up. I didn't want you to be disgusted with me or look at me differently. Your reaction to the situation is what scared me the most honestly. Your opinion of me has been all that mattered to me since we were kids. If you thought of me in any type of bad way it would have crushed me." She pulled me into her and hugged me tight. I hesitated for only a second before I hugged her back. "Zayden you will always be my best friend no matter what as long as you're happy I’m happy as long as you aren't being stupid. " She sniffled. Then a voice from in the kitchen interrupted us. "Zy I swear to god if you're crying I’ll shoot him." She laughed. "They're happy tears JaMarion damn." I pulled away. "Well he still has his overprotective side I see." I said chuckling. She rolled her eyes. "Zy if you rolling your eyes Imma eat your Oreo's" Her eyes widened and she ran towards the kitchen. "I'll talk to you later Zayden and also say hi to Shaun for me." She said as she paused at the kitchen door. I chuckled again and walked outside to my car. Well that went better than expected. Zyaria's POV I walked in the kitchen to see JaMarion giggling with the twins. I'm glad they think my obsession with Oreo's is amusing. I walked past thing and continued to make my Oreo casserole that I saw on a video. I felt someone coming up behind me and grabbed my spatula. "Mommy," the twins called so I turned to them and the JaMarion snatched a cookie. The twins started laughing like they had just watched the best comedy ever. I pouted and stomped my foot. I turned to JaMarion. "How could you turn my own babies against me?" I punched him lightly. He just chuckled and walked back over to them. "Who wants to go on a road trip?" "Usss!!!!" the twins yelled excitedly. He picked them up off the counter. "Tell mommy that she has to put on some better clothes or I will be a bad man to other people on this road trip." "Mommy put on clothes. We go with daddy." I rolled my eyes and went upstairs to change. By the time I got downstairs everyone was dressed and ready to go. We locked up and piled in the truck. Turns out we were going grocery shopping. Apparently I have no good food in the house according to JaMarion. I walked to the sweets aisle. I need to restock on my treats. I saw two packs but they were on the top shelf. I frowned. They really don't think about us short people when they stock this stuff. I stood on my tippy toes and almost had it they were too far back. I was about to give up when someone pressed up behind me and got them down. I tried to turn around but the person held me in place. I used a little more force and pushed whoever it was back and turned around. It was some light skinned dude and he was biting his lips. I was about to be rude but then I realized he was still holding my treats. "Excuse me sir, can I have the Oreo's in your hand please." He eyed me then smirked. "I'll give you them on one condition." I folded my arms and rolled my eyes. "Feisty. I like it but I'll give them to you if I can have your number and show you a good time." "No thanks. I just want the Oreo's." "And I just want you so I guess we're both stuck." I just rolled my eyes again then turned and started walking off. There was a grip on my arm and it wasn't a loose grip either. "Aye, you ain't got to act like that. You got a nice ass back here you might as well put it to use." I turned around before I knew it and slapped the s**t out of his b***h ass. He went up to hold his cheek and I snatched away and walked past him then I was snatched by my hair. "b***h do you know who I am? I will not be disrespected by some hoe like you." "And she won't be manhandled by a piece of s**t like you." I let go of the breath I was holding because I thought I was gone have to shoot this nigga. The man grinned at JaMarion's words. "Am I suppose to be scared of you or something mister...." "JaMarion Jackson but you can't call me either one." The man's eyes widened and he backed away slowly. "There's no need to run now. You didn't want to run when you were putting your hands on my woman." If it were possible it seemed like his eyes grew to the size of plates. "I-I-I’m--" JaMarion raised his hand. "I'm not the one you should start your apology to because she would be the only person to stop me from killing you." He turned to me quickly and apologized so sincerely I would have never thought he manhandled me. He then scurried away like a mouse. JaMarion's eyes were still pitch black so I walked up to him and put my arms around his waist. His closed his eyes and reopened them back to their normal color. I paused. "JaMarion." "What Zy." "Where are my babies?" He sighed. "On the other side of the store with Damien and Cass. We were waiting on you." "Oh..Oops." He looked down at me and smirked. I frowned the f**k he smirking at. "What nigga?" He thumped my forehead. "You so short Zy. My pit bull at the trap taller than you." I stepped on his foot and walked away. I can't help that I'm fun sized.
