Leilani POV

After settling down in the room and taking a 3 hour nap it was now 12pm in the afternoon. Ace had went out earlier to go get the rental car so we could drive around Orlando. After our nap we also took a good shower and then let the girls play around in the room while us grownups talked.

"I see you and Ace getting serious." Essence smiled as I chuckled

"Yea that's my baby" I smiled

"My grandson loves your daughter and granddaughter" Mrs Smith said as I smiled

"You raised a great young man. I'm glad she found someone like him" My mama said

"How old are you Ms Essence?" My auntie asked

"I'm 21" She said

"Oh you grown. You should be very mature for her age then" my auntie said

"Yes ma'am I am" She said as she chuckled

I met Essence when she booked an appointment for me to do her nails. She had brought her daughter along which was fine. My and her baby ending up bonding together so we planned a play date. As they became close so did we. She was two years older than me and honestly I feel like I needed a more older friend so she can tell me the mistakes that I'm making in life and help me correct them. So far she was a decent friend and that's honestly what I needed at the moment.

"Well we gone let you girls talk. Ima go into the room and see if I can get a little shut eye" My mama said

"Okay" I said

They all left out the room leaving us and the kids. They were playing with their dolls wasn't paying us any attention.

"I'm glad you were able to bring Elle. My really wanted her to come" I said

"Elle was begging to come. I really feel like they are going to be the best of friends when they older" She smiled

"I hope so." I said

"So what's the plan for her birthday?" She asked

"Well today we were just going to relax but tomorrow starting 9am we going downstairs for breakfast. Axe planned pretty much everything for her so I don't know what he has planned." I said as she nodded

"Sounds good. " She smiled

"I have a question.. " I said as I crossed my legs

"Shoot it" She said

Before I could say anything the door opened and in walked Ace. He looked in here to make sure we were alright and then went into the room and closed the door.

"Go ahead I'll keep an eye on them" She said. I nodded and got up and went into the room. I walked in to see Ace sitting on the bed staring into deep thought.

"What's wrong baby?" I asked as I sat on the bed. He continued to stare into deep thought.

"Ace what's wrong?" I asked as he stared at me

"Nothing baby I'm good" He said

"You sure? I have a feeling you not and there's something you not telling me" I said. He continued to stare into my eyes as I talked. It was starting to make me nervous. But I didn't let him see that.
