Merena's POV
3 months later ~December 23rd - 5:30pm
Me, Marco, and Rock were watching the kids play. He had brought Royalty and Rein with him since they wanted to come down for Christmas. Times like this I wish could stay forever. My shops were going good and I can say that I was bringing lots of money in. Marco and Rock got along as soon as they seen each other. I looked at my Christmas tree and it was beautiful. It was white, pink, and silver decorations on a green frosted tree
*ignore the decorations on the bottom*
I felt Marco's phone bus and he had picked it up and walked away. It seemed odd but I shrugged it off
"I'm glad the kids are getting along"
"Me too. They interact so well," Rock said
"Yea. You know, your mama will be down here tomorrow"
"Yea. I know," he said nonchalant
"Hey babe I gotta go something came up at work," Marco said
"Ok babe. Be safe"
He walked out and I continued to watch the kids play
"What sounds good for dinner?"
"Baked potatoes. The ones you used to make," Rock said smiling
"You loved those. I cook the food and you make sure the kids get showers?"
"Yea," he said
"Okay. Mikael and Mikayla have special soap and it should be in the bathroom"
"I knowwww. We've been through this," he said
"Yea yea," I said laughing
I went into the kitchen and pulled out the ingredients to cook. I was thinking about how Marco left so suddenly. Then I remembered he took off all week to spend time with me. Niggas ain't shit
3 hours later
The kids had already ate and headed to bed. Me and rock were sitting on the couch eating and watching a movie. I looked over and seen rock staring at me
"What?"
"What's wrong? You been so quiet," he said
"So you caught how Marco left to go see what was on his phone and he told me it was work?"
"Yea" he said
"Well just yesterday he told me he took the whole week off to spend time with me"
"Oh wow," he said
"Yea," I said getting up to throw my plate away
I went threw the plate in the trash and turned around. I bumped into Rock's chest and looked up at him
"I'm sorry," he said
"For?"
"Burning the shop, leaving, never treating you right, leaving you with two kids to take care of on your own, everything," he said
"It's okay"
He threw his plate in the trash and I went to my room. He followed me. I sat down on the bed and he laid down on the bed next to me
"Why are you following me everywhere?"
"Because I can," he said
I hope he wasn't going to try to kiss me because at this point I would kiss him back. Sound like a hoe but who cares
"Merena," he said
"What?"
"I love you," he said sitting up and looking at me
"I love you too Rock"
