Chapter 3| ᴘʀᴏᴍɪsᴇs

Y/N's POV.

"Daddy! Noah won't stop stomping on my dolls!"

My human alarm clocks woke me up, on the dot like every weekend day.

This is usually how I woke up on a Saturday morning. I didn't get in until around 4:30 in this morning, both Janice and I stayed working all night just trying to play catch up.

"Nu uh! Not me daddy!"

I sat up running my hands through my hair before going into the bathroom and doing my full morning routine.

"You are so handsome baby. I missed this." I heard a whisper as I felt small hands caress my back and then my chest.

I turned around quickly. "Umm you gotta go."

She frowned up and me as she took a step back. "What, why now all of a sudden?"

"Because the kids. I don't want them asking questions ya know."

She stared at me for a moment before letting me go slipping on her clothes and grabbing her things. I couldn't understand what she was saying, but she was definitely mumbling things underneath her breath.

"Babe, you ok?" I asked as I stood back and watched her.

She completely ignored my question as she continued to move around the room. But I stopped her before she could walk out.

"What- don't you need me to leave!"

"Come on Court-"

"No. Don't come one Courtney me Y/N, how long have we been seeing each other on and off and you still treat me like some forbidden secret." She snapped. And I could tell she was pissed because her face was slightly turning red. "I've been there for you, I've been supportive and doing everything that I can to show you I'm here. But what else can I do to show you?"

But I didn't mean to make her upset, I'm just being cautious.

"Look, I understand why you're mad and you have a right to be. But I'm just trying to protect my children. The last time Bria got super attached to someone and-"

"And what, you think I'm just gonna leave you for someone else like Ariana did?"

I let my head hang low to the side as I looked at her. In a way, I felt bad for the words I said but then I didn't. Because I was only being honest. Which is what she's always asked of me, and what I've asked of her.

I honestly don't know what we've been doing here. Yeah we have sex and yeah she tells me she loves me from time to time. But I don't know, things feel right, I just don't know if this is what either of us really want.

She grabbed my face in her hands making me look into her eyes. "Y/N I need for you to trust me. The last thing I would do is up and leave you with no explanation at all. I want to potentially work and have something real. And we can't have that if we don't have trust."

I sighed shaking my head. "I know and you're right. It's just hard for me at times-but I'm gonna work on that for you. Trusting, you trust me and I need to be able to trust you the same."

Courtney smiled as she wrapped her arms around my neck. "You promise me?" As she spoke her lips slowly met with mine.

I nodded slowly as I let myself fall into the kiss. "I promise."

"Alright darling, it's time." I sighed looking down at my daughter.
