"What do you say, love? Up for an ass whoopin?" Spencer asked while the boys grinned. He called her "love", cursed in front of the twins, but above all, they're boys, mini men who have said and heard much worse, and for that reason alone, she was able to let it go. The twins were fazed by this term of endearment, but this was the South so one way or another, everyone's being called or is somebody's, "love". Olivia's eyes traveled up and down his frame, tapping her chin with her finger.

"Well," she said dismissively.

"It's not that I'm up for it, it's on whether or not you're a worthy opponent, and you don't seem like it" Zayden laughed.

"I think he could take you Ma!"

"Oh, really now?" She probed.

"Did you know your mama is Dallas's most prized racer?" Jayden snorted.

"You mean the whole ten people who reside here? Half which happens to be our family and yours"

"Watch it, crumb snatcher" she says half joking. She found it enjoyable that they were poking fun at her like this, but she wasn't going to let them get it twisted either.

"My title's no joke"

"Oh, so you were homecoming queen too, Ma?" Zayden nudges Jayden as they sat watching her. Her children knew how to push her buttons. Jadyn used to make fun of her social status all the time. As if being pretty or attractive was a sin. Spencer walked over, throwing his arms around the twins.

"She sure was, I'm just amazed that she doesn't sleep with her tiara"

"Oh, you wanna play with me too" Olivia thought, shrugging her shoulders.

"If memory serves me correctly, you had a crown of your own too sir"

"I was the stud don't hate" Spencer said with no pause.

"Ladies loved me, I was King around these parts" he popped his collar. She clutched her hand over her heart with extra flare.

"Oh, King Spencer, however, will you royal subjects compare when it comes to you?" Jayden bust out laughing.

"You guys are soo extra"

"Keep that up and you're gonna find yourself grounded" she says, smirking.

"You're losin to Spencer, I bet 10 dollars" Jayden threw his arm around Spencer's shoulder.

"Exactly" Spence agreed.

"Jayden and I know the deal"

"Zay?" She asked as he deliberated.

"Both of you can't leave me for him!"

There was no chance both of her twins would fall to the dark side. There had to be some form of loyalty. She couldn't lie to herself about one thing. Just the notion of them bonding with Spencer, put a smile on her face. Spence had always been good with children and he and Zayden had grown close since the night in the woods. However, there was something holding Jayden and him back from connecting on that same level. Olivia's motherly instincts believed it may very well had something to do with his father. Zayden grumbled before relenting.

"I guess, I'll choose you, Ma" Olivia giggles.

"Okay, menace" Spencer clapped his hands.

"Alright, here are the rules. We ridin from here to the old fence and back. First one to make it back here is the winner. Ya remember your way, don't ya Olivia Nicole?" Olivia tilted her head, popping her hip.

"Oh I remember just fine, Spencer Alonzo"

"Alonzo!" Jayden yelled.

"Wait, your middle name is Alonzo?" He laughed uncontrollably. Spencer stepped closer, and Olivia knew she was in trouble.
