Ray POV
"Deja my daughter finna come over you gotta leave"
Chase made it known that she didn't want Deja around our child. The only reason I'm listening is because imma need a favor soon.
"Wasn't she just here? I thought it was your babymamas turn"
Chase would have a field day about being called a babymama. I don't think she hates anything as much as she hates that
"Ain't no damn turns. If she needs me to get my child then imma do that" it's only right. "She just finna take her little Christian break resort bullshit and then she'll get Vaeh and you can come back"
"Okay baby" she peck my lips
She gathered all her things and left and not even twenty minutes after Chase was knocking on the door. I opened it and she was struggling "your child just had to bring all this stuff" she looked like a babymama. She had a crossbody purse on, fresh hair, and Nevaeh asleep on her shoulder.
I grabbed my child kissing her head and laying her on the couch "she's not going to play with any of that" I laugh
"Exactly" Chase laugh sitting it all down
"You going to Turks?"
"Yeah" Chase smile "but if you need anything let me know"
"Yeah you" she rolled her eyes "c'mon I'm in love with you so why we doing all this"
"What are we doing" Chase ask
"Not together" I wrap my arms around her waist "you know I would only marry you"
"Yeah that's not a flex. You would only cheat on me too, huh"
She smacked her lips "I was young. Everybody has cheated while being young"
"I haven't" Chase had a smug look on her face
"So we aren't together because something years ago" I frown
"Not even. Look at what you just did. My whole tour we were being intimate and you have a whole girlfriend. That makes me look bad"
"You could never look bad baby"
Chase reasoning for not being with me is invalid as fuck. "I don't want a relationship but I really don't want one with you. That book has been written, how come we can't just coparent"
"Because I don't want to do that! You keep saying you see growth in me but do you really because who wouldn't want to be with someone that's changing for the better" I ask
"I've been hurt plenty of times by you baby. I don't want it to get to a point we hate each other and can't raise our kid" I don't think I could ever hate Chase.
She called me baby. That means I still have a chance
"Just one more chance please? I'll marry you"
"You said that like I'm chasing marriage" Chase scrunch her face up "answer this"
"What" I ask
"If someone was to put Vaeh through everything you've put me through, would you want her with them"
"Chase I was young! You still hanging onto something that was years ago" I say "you think someone pose to be seventeen ready for marriage"
"I much rather you break up with me every time you want to be with another woman. Even if we put the cheating to the side you're disrespectful" Chase say. I didn't say anything "I'll always love and be your friend" she smiled "I'm also reaching Vaeh this acronym so I'll love it if she continues to learn it here"
