From the moment Paris pulled into Xavier's garage she heard the sound of "Sweet Lady" by Tyrese, serenading her as she got out of the car ..

There were pink and white rose petals on the ground, leading into the house ..

"X ?" She yelled, as she entered the door ..

She didn't see him anywhere but her focus was elsewhere, the entire living room was filled with bouquets of pink and white roses.. Pink and white balloons, white candles everywhere, music, and the scent of food was coming from the kitchen ..

Walking deeper into the house and into the kitchen, Paris peaked around the corner at Xavier as he stood over the stove ..

"What is all of this ?" She asked with a smirk ..

Looking over at her, He smiled..

"Just an act of appreciation .." He said, walking her way ..

He wrapped his arms around her waist .. Gently pulling her closer to him ..

"Oh really ?" She asked

"Really .." Kissing her cheek, he walked away and headed back to the stove ..

"You didn't have to cook anything, I just ate .." She said ..

"Well we can eat once we get back .." He said

"Cool .. I'm about to go change .." She said, turning around to head upstairs she was stopped by Xavier ..

"Paris.." He yelled

"What ?" She asked

"So how did that conversation go ?" He asked

"He said no .." Shrugging, Paris turned around to head back upstairs ..

"So that's it ?" He asked

Stopping again, Paris sighed ..

"Yeah .." She replied looking back at him

Chuckling, X turned back to the stove ..

"What ?" She asked, wanting to know what was funny ..

"It sound like he gave you the answer you wanted .." He said

"Excuse me ?" Paris frowned

"He said no, and that's that on that ? I can't meet your kids ?" He asked

"The fuck you wanna meet them so bad for ? Huh Xavier ?" Walking over to him, she looked up into his eyes .. "Why the fuck do you keep asking for them ?" She asked

"Because they're your kids Paris, DAMN !! I wanna know all of you, and that includes them .. but every time I take the time to make some nice fuckin gesture towards them you get defensive .." He said

Rolling her eyes, Paris started to walk away ..

"You so use to that toxic ass marriage, you don't know what it look like when somebody care about you .." He said

"First of all you don't know nothin about my marriage.. and second of all it has nothin to do with that !! I've seen this exact scenario play out with my sister in law, and guess what .. her boyfriend was apart of the plot of killing her daughter !! My niece, Xavier !! So you damn right I'm gonna ask questions .. I have kids to protect !!" She yelled

"You don't trust me ?" He asked

"I don't trust nobody .." She replied, then started to head upstairs .. But Xavier stopped her ..

Grabbing both of her hands, he looked her in her eyes ..

"Well, you can trust me .. I swear .. This ain't just a fling to me Paris .. I like you .. And that's what I'm tryin to show you .. but everytime I do somethin, you misconstrue it .." He said
