Old Flames

Chapter 39

Aaliyah walked into the dance studio. It seems like forever since she's been here. She smiled at her close friend, Kaymen.

"Hey baby girl. Welcome back." Kaymen smiled. Aaliyah smirked as she walked to the elevator to get to her floor. She walked in and saw Lauren and Niko sitting down talking.

"Boo! I haven't seen you in like a week!" Lauren cooed. Aaliyah laughed as her cousin tackled her with hugs and kisses.

"Lauren move, I came here to see my real boo. My studio." Aaliyah laughed. Lauren rolled her eyes.

"I'm telling Jayce that he has been replaced."

"Girl bye, just as much as I care about my studio, he cares about basketball. Like right now him and JJ are out today doing a meet and greet." Aaliyah explained.

"Aww when is the wedding boo?" Niko asked.

"In 10 months. I'm so ready to be Mrs. Richards it's crazy." Niko smiled at his friend. He could see the love all in her face.

"Yall are goals. Like I want me and Tre to be like this, just the loving part. Not all the fighting you and Jayce be doing." Lauren laughed.

"We don't fight. We just have disagreements and sometimes he does stupid stuff and I have to get him back on track. But we don't argue, at all....anymore." Aaliyah admitted as she began stretching.

"That's good. But you need to bring my baby by to see me sometimes. As a matter of fact, bring him this weekend. This will give me some practice for when I'm ready and plus you and Jayce can have some alone time." Lauren offered.

Aaliyah smiled, "Sounds like a plan."

Meanwhile, Jayceon was at the meet and greet with the rest of the team and his son.

"Amber, wassup?" Jayce said as he grabbed her poster. He hasn't seen Amber since her little scene at the restraunt.

"Congrats on the kid. I always knew you and Liyah would make pretty babies." Amber cheesed. She waved at JJ as he babbled on and beat the table.

Jayceon smiled, "Thank you." He handed her the poster and she was on her way.

"She wants you." One of Jayce's teammates laughed. Jayceon looked back and saw Amber getting out of the line and walking off. He shook his head.

"She was a mistake and I'm not going back down that road. Imma be married in 10 months and I don't have time for the drama." Jayceon admitted.

"Yea, you better do my future baby mama right."

"Chill man." Jayceon laughed.

They stayed at the meet and greet for another two hours, but JJ was starting to get cranky so Jayceon decided that they should leave.

He walked outside getting ready to leave when he saw a white BMW roll up. He continued doing what he was doing. He placed JJ into the car seat and made sure he was strapped in. He handed him his toys as he stood up and closed the door.

He stopped in his tracks when he seen the woman that he held hatred in his heart for. Amanda looked up at Jayceon and could see the anger on his face. It was deep in his eyes and his body language.

She hated that things were this way, she thought Jayceon was the father, but she was probably just blinded because she wanted to be number one in his life.

"Before you yell or cuss me out..." Amanda started. Jayceon licked his lips as he watched her search for her words.

"I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry, for all the misery and hurt I have put you through. My scheming ways caught the best of me. I just wanted to be yours Jayce. I had you first and then she comes along, but through it all I ended up messing up our friendship. I'm so sorry." She cried. Jayceon's face softened a little.
