Pretty.
That was the word spiralling around my head as I watched from a distance as Imani coloured the alphabet.
The way she looked when zoning out was amazing, it made me want to delve deep. Yet knowing the secrets that one can withhold, do I want to know?
"I think it's someone's nap time, hm baby?" She held Imani by her tiny hands, watching the frown appear on her face as her mother mentioned the dreaded- nap time.
Sighing dramatically, Imani held onto her hand walking together up the steep steps.
I never realized how steep they were as I normally take two steps at a time, yet Imani's little legs made me look differently.
Despite the adorably cute motherly moment, Angelo had to ruin it. "You good?"
Placing my mug down, I looked at the asshole grinning at my zoned-out state. "I am thanks. You're glaring at me because?" He held his hands up high, chuckling at whatever he found funny.
"Can't I see what my brother is obsessed with these days? What's the new craze?"
I took a last gulp from the cup of coffee turning my full attention to Angelo. "I don't obsess over small things, thanks."
Even if I did obsess over things. Ebony isn't a small thing, she's a huge thing that I drift towards as if she is the sun attracting me from lightyears away.
"You've had, a hot wheel craze, a dollhouse craze, resin craze, splattering paint craze, oh and not to forget the infamous gardening faze, let me continue or-"
Rolling my eyes I watched as he smirked knowing he was right, "You act like she's going to disappear."
She could. Some people can change overnight, and I'd rather reminisce over the person I once loved, than the bitchy asshat they've become.
"Shut up. Can you mind your own?"
Grabbing a protein bar he finally walked away, leaving me in my thoughts. She cared for me, the sleepless nights I've had scared for the safety of the estate.
Worrying about our lives after I take my rose-coloured glasses off, looking at the bigger picture of things.
Which school would Imani go to?
How do I keep Ebony from feeling isolated?
Do we have a beneficial future together? Or should we stay co-parents?
"Leonardo!" Looking up from the island, I saw a cheerful Ebony walking over her phone in hand. "Yes, beautiful?" I immediately felt my jaw drop, what the fuck-
"Oh, someone's a bit forward today." She chuckled, walking past me towards the sink. Not before tapping my now rosy cheeks, glaring into the fridge only to see my reflection, showed me how she made me feel.
