Chapter 21

Milyon was excited to have someone else around Shy other than the same people. She felt that Shy may respond if she saw different faces. Understanding that Kai and her brother had a connection in a way, she wasn't trying to make them close. Milyon's intentions were pure and in no way did she believe this introduction would cause drama.

"Who are you introducing me to, Milyon?" Kai asked unaware that she was being introduced to the woman Mace had given his heart to, the reason why he wouldn't give her the time of day.

"My friend, she's not very talkative right now and I'm really scared for her. I just want to see how she reacts to a new face. I just... I'm worried. I don't know why she won't talk," Milyon explained to Kai just before they reached the family room.

Instantly, Kai knew it was the girl she and Milyon found at the doorstep. Her heart rate increased, she grew nervous. There was no turning back at this point.

Once they were in the family room, the room was at its capacity with silence, the movie that had been on was off and the tv showed a blank screen. Not able to tell whether Shy was asleep or not, the ladies crept around the sofa, Milyon in lead.

Still, Shy was staring aimlessly into thin air. Where is her head at? Milyon thought.

"Shy? We have company, she's nice," Milyon said casually, sitting on the sofa not too far from Shy.

Timidly, Kai stepped into Shy's line of vision. She waved, "Hey, I'm Kai," she sat.

Shy's eyes followed her for only a moment before she continued staring into what it seems others could not see.

Kai looked at Milyon with much question. Shaking her head, Milyon indicated she didn't know what the problem was. 

"You look nice," Kai complimented Milyon. She wore a jogging suit with very expensive looking fabric and the stitching design was expertly executed. Milyon's hair was naturally curly and was all over her head from her washing it that morning. She even looked glamorous when she wasn't trying.

Scoffing, Milyon didn't even bother to look at what she had on. She slid the zipper of her hoodie up, feeling as though her bra less breast were too exposed, "Girl, I look a mess. I really wish we could leave the house, I have a dire urge to shop."

Kai chuckled, Milyon was obviously used to having expensive items. Kai was not. She actually felt like she looked a mess in a t-shirt and shorts labeled with the name of community college she attended.

"You are too much. You have nice taste, though. This house is amazing," Kai looked around.

"Thanks but this is Carti's house. He had it before we were even together. He picked out everything or maybe had an interior designer hired. I forget. I picked everything in my baby's room, though."

"Where is he?" Kai asked.

Milyon pointed upstairs, "The nanny is playing with him."

"How long have you had a nanny?" Kai didn't remember a nanny being present the last time she was there.

"Two days, girl. Carti has been going wild with everything. I'm just sitting back and watching because according to him and Mace, I don't have a choice," Milyon stated sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

"Oh, right. Their men, though and they can be protective of what's theirs."

"Yea, I guess," Milyon shrugged, looking over Kai's shoulder and at Shy who seemed to be falling asleep. She would prefer that she was in a bed because it would possibly be more comfortable. Kai looked also.
