I go straight to the Spare room filled with her plants, it's usually the first place she goes to in the morning to take care of them, my frown is wider when i dont see her there.

I knock on her bedroom door that's shut in front of me,

"Ziana?" I say with my hand pressed against the door desperately wanting her to open it, I messed up yesterday. I messed up big time, I shouldn't have dared to ask her if she was telling the truth or not.

Yes it is procedure but regardless i let Paxton get in my head in the worst way possible. I dont plan on letting him go free for messing up what me and Ziana finally made it to but now isn't the time.

"Ziana please..." my body steps back when she opens the door, she zips past me banging against my body dressed in a Silk black blouse and Some black dressy bottoms. Her braids are in a high bun at the back of her head.

"Are we still going to the dinner?" I catch up with her as she stops at the shoe rack,

"I am." Her tone is sharp, like she built her walls back up towards me brick by brick.

"You don't want me to be there anymore?" She ignores me as she attempts to sit on the stairs to put them on her feet, her growing pregnancy belly makes her struggle so i help her down,

She grabs onto my hand reluctantly, knowing if she doesn't grab onto me she won't get them on at all. I get on a knee, propping her leg on mine as i help her put it on.

"I want to be there for you, Ziana." I say under my breath zipping up the long zipper on her high heel boots,

"If you want to be there for me then you wouldn't ask me if i made up something like being Sexually assaulted." She smites pursing her lips so tight they might just burst as her eyes shift away from me.

"You have to believe me when i say I didn't doubt what you went through Ziana, I never once did. I just wanted to propose a case for the court and i needed as much information as possible." I finish zipping up the other boot for her,

"Then the least that you could do is ask me for any more information i had on him but instead you went on and did what everyone else did. You doubted." Her voice cracked as she looked at me with a look that felt like a knife stabbing my heart,

"Just let me-"

"You know I seriously thought you were different. I was dumb enough to actually believe that someone could hear my story and be on my side for once, thats a mistake i wont make again." She exclaims in a harsh tone as she finds strength to rush to her feet and bang against my body,

I grab her elbow gently holding her back from escaping through the door,

"Fine. Fine i messed up, fine I shouldn't have asked you that question I should've known better ,Fine. I will take that, but I'm not having you run out of this House and come back hating me like you did to start with-"

"You don-"

"No, stop it. Its my turn to talk now." I say shutting her up as she zips her lips tight shut crossing her arms across her chest.
