I hear voices downstairs, so I'm guessing Pattie is here. Yeal couldn't come because she has a doctors appointment. I'm nervous. She's acting weird, in text anyways. What does she have to talk about? Oh my. Maybe I'm over thinking? "Angle, Justin's mom is downstairs waiting for you. She brought a girl and boy for me to play with. But I'm scared" Skylynn says and I chuckle kissing her head. "Don't be scared they're sweet and like to play a lot" "okay" she giggles cutely. She's met them before? I grab my purse and phone walking downstairs. "Hey sweetie" "hey Pat" I say side hugging her. "Take care of my girl" Justin says winking to me. I playfully roll my eyes as Pattie smiles. "She'll be just fine" "I know" he laughs saying. "Hug?" He says and I lean into him hugging him back. He kissing my cheek saying "I'll be to pick you up" "okay" I mumble pulling back. I didn't like when he kisses on me in front of people. He frowns lightly and I smile letting him know I'm not mad or anything. "Bye" "bye baby" he mumbles. I smile walking out behind Pattie. "It's been a while since I've had a nice day to myself. Had my nails down and what not" "same here" I say smiling. "I have a hair appointment right after we do our nails or else I'd offer you dinner or something" "oh its fine" I say and she nods smiling.
*Two hours later*
Justin's pov:
Nash and Matthew stayed at the pool watching all the kids as I came to get Baylee. She loves getting her nailed done. I can't wait to see that beautiful smile of hers. As I pull into the nail salon I don't see moms car anywhere. She must have left already I text Baylee letting her know I was out her. She text back saying 'one sec' so I just turn the music on and wait on her. About five minutes later I decided to just walk into the nail shop. I done knew everyone where Baylee gets her nails down here so much. They don't freak out when I walk in, like other places. "Hey Justin" some greet me and I look around and don't see Baylee or Molly. Molly is the girl that always does her nails. "Hey ladies" I greet back. "Where's Bay?" "Uh" "oh" "she's um.." A few of them say. Awkward? "What?" I ask and they all look away. "She's in the back" Emily says and I nod. "Mind if I-" "go a head" she says and I nod walking back there although customers aren't suppose to be back there. "It'll be fine, I mean it's whatever you want though. Just-" Molly stops talking when she sees me. Baylee looks up at me with watery eyes. She's been crying. She is crying. "Baylee, baby.. W-what's wrong?" I ask walking towards her and she stands up jumping in my arms. She silently cries on my shoulder, soaking my shirt. Molly gets up patting her back and walking out. "You okay?" I whisper and she shakes her head no. She sniffles hugging my neck even tighter. I didn't like bending where she's so much shorter so I just picked her up. She wraps her legs around me burying her face in my neck. "W-we.. We have to t-talk" she hiccups through her cries, finally looking at me. I stand her on her feet nodding my head. I gently push her hair behind her ear. "We'll talk, it's okay" I say and she nods looking behind her at her purse. I lean behind her grabbing it. I didn't care how big of a fag I looked I'd carry her purse for her. I gently take her hand bringing her through the shop. "Bye Baylee baby" Molly shouts and everyone else says bye to her. "Bye girls" Baylee smiles waving. I help her in the car then walk around getting in myself. "Wanna talk about it?" I ask and she shakes her head. "Yeah, j-just not right now" she says chewing on the inside on her lip. She does that when she's nervous. "Did my mom.. Say something to you, or..?" "Uh.. C-can we just wait til, um, we get home?" "Yeah" I say shaking my head. It was aggravating me. I wanted to know why she was crying. I didn't understand at all. Surely my mother didn't upset her like that? She loves Baylee. She knows how I am with Baylee and how I feel. I don't think she'd say anything to hurt her feelings, would she? "Can-" "Justin!" She says, seeming aggravated. I stay silent then I hear her sniffle. She's crying again. Ugh! She expects me not to say anything. I take a deep breath laying my hand on her thigh. She lays her small hand over mine. "I'm sorry" I whisper and she nods. "Don't apologize though, I just.. Need to catch my breath" "okay baby" I say pulling into the house. "I'll tell the kids were back" "I'll be in my room" she mumbles getting out and walking into the house. Strange. I walk around back seeing Nash studying, shocker! While Jazzy, Skylynn, and Jaxo swam in the pool. "We're back, yell if you need anything okay?" "Yeah, alright man" Nash say and I nod walking through the back door and heading up the stairs to see what Baylee needs to talk about.
