Caliena's POV

So we were at the park together now since JayJay going away for business tomorrow. I admire this man a lot and I realized as I watch him and Aliyah that I'd never trade anything in the world for them. They complete my life and I made me whole. They were like words of encouragement that you can hold on to for a lifetime and that's how I knew even when shit and tribulations starts you have family that will fight along with you. This was my family.

"You ok Cal? asked JayJay walking towards me.

"Yeah couldn't be better. I'm just grateful for both of y'all"

"I'm never going lose you again. You know that right? "

"Yeah I do know JayJay"

"So how's stuff with her father?"

I sighed and start fidgeting. Life had a way of bringing people in your life but just like fruit or food item after a while there is expiration date or a time when it was no longer of best quality. Just like Aliyah's father.

"Caliena? Talk to me"

"It's the same old. One minute he cool then the next he is snapping and all. The stuff he does now is slowly affecting us and he doesn't even realize it. Its only a matter of time before he'll reap what he us sowing. He doesn't ask about her or even seen to care about how we survive. Just taking it a day at a time."

"He hits you still Caliena?"

I looked away and he sighed.

"Man what's wrong with you? Why you have him stomping you under man? Can't you see you have to let go before its too late for you? You have a daughter to live for now Cal and you know damn well I'm here for you. I don't know why you put up with the things he does?"

"JayJay before we found each other he was the only one I had. I was raised in the ducking streets. I don't know what happen to mama why she left man she did and I ain't even know bout you then. I did what I had to then to make cash but it ain't easy to get outta stuff like that easily. "

"Caliena don't tell me bullshit. I told you times and times again that I got you. I knew we were lost to each other back then but focus on now and the future. Ma is gone and so is Pa so we gotta do what we gotta do. I ain't even hear bout you can't pull out when you know I can make you with just a snap of my fingers. Get your act together and I mean it."

"I will JayJay"

"You better do. You always have a place to stay and car to drive if we stick together. I love you and Aliyah both and you know that so please make the right choice cause I don't want to lose either of you."

I could feel the tears and the waterfalls started and he embraced me assuring that this is just a phase and it'll be over soon.

Jasmine's POV

So while I was at the cafe having coconut macaroons and caupocinno I received a call from Mr. Leanardo himself.

"Hello"

"Jasmine you don't have to return to work today because I'll be out with my family and there is nothing much to do."

"Oh I see. Is that all?"

"Well I will love if you start packing as we will leave tomorrow at noon."

"Yeah ok then."

"Bye" he said and disconnected the call.

I sighed and took another bite of my cookie. I really don't know what to think at the moment. That lady and that Lil girl and how he relates to them, the way she calls his name and the way they react with each other was playing over in my mind. Could I be jealous? Well of course not I mean it has been 16 years so I couldn't blame him for moving on with his life. But why when he had move on is he being casting spells on me so I'll be attached to him for support and intimacy?
