A few days later
I haven't talked to Layla in awhile. I miss her but she's trying to ruin my perfect relationship. I really like Curtis. I'm gonna stop thinking about this. My babies are waiting for their fruit. I'm just cutting up fruit for a snack. I froze some for Josh. So his teeth will feel better. "Mommy can I check the mail?"

"Sure baby." I started buying them things from Amazon like little girl accessories and stuff. I want them to grow up and be beautiful and smart woman. "It's for you mommy."

"Thanks baby close the door and here. You guys don't waste this on my couch." She grabbed the plates and I gave josh his teething pacifier. I look through it. What's this? I open it. Oh it's from Layla.

I know you haven't seen me as a best friend recently and I'm sorry for that, I shouldn't have looked into him, I just want you safe but I guess you're fine. I'll keep it to myself. I still wanna be friends though. I'll get out of your relationship cause it's not my problem or anything. I'm sorry bestie. I love you.

Aww. I miss my best friend. She's so sweet. As soon as I called her someone knocked on the door. "Mommy can I open it?"

"No." I open it. "Hey. You on the phone?"

"Hold on, hello?"

"Hey. You forgive me?"

"Yeah. But don't do it again."

"I won't. I have to go bye."

"Bye." I hang up. "Hi  Curtis."

"Who were you on the phone with?"

"I only know two people. You wanna come in?"

"Yeah."

"Hi Curtis!"

"Hey girls." I went to the kitchen and started cleaning up. "Hi little boy."

"So do you have a reason for coming here?"

"I can't just see you guys?"

"Yeah but you only come for a second and you're usually busy after. "

"Well I'm not busy right now.  Anyway when are we going on our little drinking date?"

"We could go Friday or Saturday. What day is best for you?"

"I'll see." He grabbed the letter. "What is this?"

"Layla sent it to me. She's sorry." He read it. I wipe down the counter. "Mommy can I get more?"

"Just a little cause I'm starting dinner."

"I'm gonna go."

"Okay."
~~~~~~~
"Have fun girl. Be safe."

"Thanks bye. I want my babies in bed on time tonight."

"Keep wanting." She closed the door. "I don't remember the last time I drank."

"Well you're twenty three so I would guess you wouldn't have too many memories.

"If I had a baby at sixteen what do you think I did before I had her?"

"Well she came out okay."

"Yeah."

"By the way, I don't think we should drive when we're done drinking so I got my driver to drive us to my place after cause we should be safe."

"Makes sense." He opened the door for me.
~~~~~~
"Wait do I need id?"

"Not with me." We got out of the car and he grabbed my hand. We walked straight in. "What's your favorite drink?"

"Hm. I can go for anything."

"Anything?"

"Mh." He whispered to the bartender. "What you get?"

"The strongest drink they have."

"Mm..I can't wait." He came back with the drinks. I grab the glass and took a sip. "How is it?"

"It's good." I drunk the rest in one go and he had a shocked face. "I want another one."

"You sure?"

"Give me another one and then we can dance." I drunk another one. "Come on."

"I'm not even drunk yet."

"I don't care." I pulled him to the dancefloor.
~~~~~~
"You're drunk."

"What? No you're drunk."

"I'm drunk, no you're drunk. I remember."

"What are you talking about?" He opened the door. "You wanna go back to my house?"

"Yeah." I laid down in the car. "What are you doing?"

"Get in here." I pulled him in and we kissed. "I think we should wait-."

"No."
''~~~~~~~~~~
"God..." I say waking up. I look around. Where's Curtis? He came in. "Good morning."

"Morning."

"I'm making breakfast, you can shower and I wash your clothes but I'm sure you'll be more comfortable in mine." I smile. "Okay."

"Here. There's Advil in the cabinet." He threw a water bottle on the bed.
~~~~~~~~
"You taking absolutely forever to make breakfast."

"Be patient."

"I need breakfast for my hangover."

"It's coming." Someone banged on the door. "Curtis!"

"Who is that?"

"Just ignore it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah ignore it."

"Curtis! Open this door!"

"What if they need help?"

"Curtis! I want my money Curtis!"

"It's fine. I'll get my guards to handle it." The door unlocked and a woman came in with a little boy. "I still have my key Curtis."

"Who is that?" She looked at me. "Who is she?"

"Uh."

"Curtis? I'm waiting."

"I'm his baby mama. I'm Keisha." I look at him. I think I'm gonna keep calm for this. I get up. "You supposed to be his girlfriend?"

"Yeah."

"Damn Curtis. That's fucked up. I'll come back later."

"No need to I'm leaving."

"Devine...I was gonna tell you."

"You had your chance and then you lied. I yelled at my best friend because I thought she was making shit up. But you're the one who fucking lied!"

"Devine remember last night?"

"Fuck last night cause it's the first and last time I'm in the bed with you." I walk out the house and text Layla. He's unbelievable. "Hey girl." I look back. "I'm so sorry. I swear if I knew he had a girlfriend I would've texted him first..."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

"Want me to take you home? I can buy you like some breakfast."

"Yeah..thank you."

"Yeah no problem girl." We get in her car. "How old are you?"

"Twenty three."

One thing I'm gonna tell you if you get him back, don't have a baby with him, that man will be a whole different person.x

"I don't plan on having anymore kids. I already have three. Especially not with that guy. My friend told me something was up with him."

"He's very mysterious. I wouldn't get into it."

"I won't definitely not." Layla started calling. "Hello?x

"Girl I told you."

"I know. I'm sorry I didn't believe you, you know why obviously cause I really liked him."

"Yeah. I understand."

"I'll be home soon."

"Okay." I hung up.
