"Is anyone home?!" I hear Mary call out. Oasis got up and ran inside. He's gonna bring her to me god I love dogs. "Hey baby momma." Mary says coming outside with Oasis. "Hey girl." I say locking my phone.  "What time are you meeting Logan?" She asked me. I rubbed my eyes and unlocked my phone and going to our messages. "One." I say putting my phone down. "Bryce still not cool with it?" She asked me. "No, and honestly its pissing me off because we just going to lunch and I have a feeling he's not gonna say what he has to say when Bryce is there." I say to her. "At the same time I think he would say it." Mary says with her hands up. "He's prepared for Bryce to come with me isn't he?" I asked her. She nodded. I covered my face. "But I still think you should just go." She says. "Oh I'm still gonna go." I say taking my hands off my face to look at her. "Yeah I figured you would." She says leaning back. "Did he say what he had "to talk to me" about?" I asked her. "I can't say that." She shakes her head. My jaw dropped. "Oh so you know?" I asked her. " Don't know what you're talking about." Mary says in a monotone voice. My face dropped. "I can't take you right now." I sighed while barley getting up. 

"Geez thanks for the help." I say looking at her. "You did it,  you got it. You put yo back into it." She smiled. I laughed and walked back into the house. Josh and Blake walked up to me. "What did you to Bryce?" Josh asked me. I don't know every time I hear his name I wanna punch him. "I didn't do shit. Im just going to fucking lunch." I say walking in between them. "Lunch with who?" Josh asked while him and Blake followed me. "Your father." I stopped and looked at him. "Bro that's not funny he's in town and im trying to avoid his a much as possible." Josh says. "What why?" I say turning the attention to him. "You really don't listen... We're going to my cousins wedding in Malibu..."He says. "When did yall tell me this?" I asked him. "Right after the baby shower." He says. "Yeah great timing." I say sarcastically. "Is there a color scheme and are we all going?" I asked him. "Lavender and just me you Bryce and Gianna... Sorry Blake." He says looking at him. "It's chill I get it... Just wont be invited to mines." He says walking away. I laughed and looked at the time. 12:25 I gotta leave without nobody holding me up. 

"Where's my child?" I say walking away from Josh without answering his question. "Gi?" I call out walking upstairs. "Mommy?" She yells from Myas room. "Hey boo." I say hugging her as she stood up on the bed. "Im finna go, you wanna go with me or stay with My and Vin?" I asked her. "Stay with My and Vin." She says. I wanted her to go with me. "Ugh okay, I'll be back later." I say fixing her hair. "Okay, stoppp" She says moving her head. "Okay im sorry." I say kissing her multiple times. "Call me if she gets outta hand. Matter fact tell her daddy." I point to Mya. "Got it." She says. I walked back downstairs and fucking Bryce was at the door. I stopped halfway down the stairs. "Leaving?" He asked me. "In a minute." I say to him. "Let's go." He says grabbing my keys and opening the door. "You're not fucking going!" I yelled. "Yes the fuck I am!" He yelled back. "Why do you have to go it's not that fucking serious!" I say walking down the stairs. "Yes it is. Would you want me to go to lunch with Addison?!" He asked. "Would you asked Addison your approval of a ring? Would you ask Addison how to propose to me? Would you fucking let Addison walk in the fucking house and sit at our baby shower? I DON'T FUCKING THINK SO!" I yelled back. "Mal, calm down..."Mary says behind me. "Please shut up." I snap my head back at her. "If you don't trust me Bryce just fucking say that." I say tell him. He looked like he wanted to say it. "Go." He says handing me my keys. "I'll be back." I say to him. " love you." He says. I ignored him because I can't stand him.

1:15PM

I already know Logan was seated because he's always on time. "Hi, I'm supposed to be meeting someone here, about a six five black man?" I asked the host. "Yes, this way." She guides me. "Here you are." She says. "Thank you." I say sitting down. "Hey kid." Logan says as I sat down. "Whats up." I say looking at the menu. "How are you?" He asked. I sighed. "What's going on?" He asked. "Me and Bryce got into it before coming here." I say. "About?" He says. "Me/You." We both say. He laughed. "He has every right to be a little upset but he's marrying you." He says. "Thank you." I say to them. "But what I originally invited you here for..." He starts as he put the menu down. "Is what your originally came out here for. Business." He says. Oh fuck me here we go. I rolled my eyes. "No, just listen. When you first came out here you unavailable, busy with work, at a meeting, a photoshoot something. Now what are you doing?" Hey asked me. "Um, taking care of my daughter and preparing for the newborns?" I say confused. "Sorry to interrupt but can I get you guys anything to drink?" Our server asked. "Water and a pink lemonade." He points at me. "Any appetizers?" She asked. "Chip Trio Dip?" He asked me. I shrugged sure. "Chip Trio Dip as well." He orders. "Awesome, I'll be right back with drinks." She says. "Thank you." We both say.
