Trauma Bonds (Mirrored Souls Book 2) Jenna Ortega Love Story

Chapter 4

Jenna POV

After Mama came and got Emmy, we all went back into the house to, I guess, talk. At the moment, we are sitting here having a three-way stare down in comfortable silence. I'm currently lying across their laps, just from one to the other, waiting on someone to break the silence.

"I love how we've all been sitting here staring at each other for 20 minutes," Isis finally said after another 2 minutes of silence.

"I was thinking the same thing, but yall are cute, so I didn't mind the staring contest." I said this and lifted myself into a sitting position, which placed me in China's lap.

"I mean, I think we all might be trying to avoid conversation," China said, and I looked at her, wondering why she was in my business like that.

"Excuse me, ma'am, stay out of my business." I joked and shifted in her lap.

"Girl, please, you are the main one laid across us with that short ass skirt on," China said, and I rolled my eyes.

"Naw, for real, Jenna, you might want to go put some pants on because we are really trying to be civilized children of God," Isis joked, but I think she was being serious.

"Ya'll are being absolutely ridiculous right now. I am not changing my clothes," I crossed my arms and started getting off China's lap. She grabbed my thighs, holding me there so I couldn't move, and I rolled my eyes.

"You aren't going anywhere." China said firmly, "You are going to stay your ass on this couch."

"Whatever." I said, rolling my eyes in annoyance. Isis chuckled as China loosened her grip on my thighs.

"Damn. So are we going to talk before I have to go to the studio?" Isis asked.

"Yeah, of course", I said, shifting on China's lap to face Isis. China started rubbing small circles on my lower back as I did.

"So I've already said my piece. So the floor is yours." Isis said, looking at both of us. Her gaze was full of calmness, and it was honestly very attractive.

"Ok, well, obviously China and I are married. So when it comes to that aspect, I guess it comes down to what we want." I started, and Isis nodded her head. "Emmy is the biggest influence on everything that I do now. I know you care for her a lot."

"And she loves the hell out of you." China added, and I nodded in agreement.

"I love her and her cute little face too." Isis cooed, and it's funny because Isis isn't a soft woman at all. I mean, I have to listen to any of her music. This woman is off the charts when it comes to being sexualized.

"But certain things do need to be discussed," I said, and China snaked her hand around my waist, making me jump a little.

"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to scare you," China said as I relaxed back into her embrace.

"It's ok." I said this and turned my attention to Isis, who appeared to be waiting for me to finish my conversation. "Okay, back to you, love bug. There are just a few things that need to be discussed before any type of decision is made here."

"What would that be?" Isis asked with eager eyes, waiting to finally get an answer to her question.

"One, we are parents; what's best for Emmy comes before any decision we make. Two, as a married couple, we are exactly that, a couple; hence, China is mine in the end if shit fucks up. Three, with you being a drill rapper and we being Disney stars, that is something to consider. Four, if you really want to do this, there is no turning back." I said, and Isis simply nodded.

"Those are very specific." Isis chuckled, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes playfully.

"Also, if it's three people, then it's three." Not just 2. China added, and I'm glad that she did because I meant what I said when I said China is mine.

"I understand and respect all of that. I'm not trying to jump into your relationship in any way; I'm not wanted. Isis said this with a smile on her face.

"Can I ask you a question, Isis? China said this and looked at Isis fully. I was still sitting in her lap with her arm wrapped around me.

"Of course, Isis said, smiling brightly.

"Why do you think we keep bringing you around? China asked immediately after, and with that, I decided to just stay quiet.

"Do you want a lie or the truth? Isis said, looking down and tilting her head slightly.

"How about both? I said that because I really want to know the answer to that question myself.

"Okay, the truth is, I think you guys like me, but you don't want to for many reasons. One is because you are married, and two is because I'm so much different than you," Isis said, and I was a little taken back by her response. "As for the lie, I think you two are just two very friendly people who invited a complete stranger to their home and around their kid.

Okay, that lie is like really out there," I giggled because, for some reason, that situation sounded funny as hell to me. " And honestly, none of those things actually matter because, as you are right, we aren't some weirdos that just have you around our child.

"Ice, you have become so important in Emmy's life already, and she is only 3 months old." China said, and Isis smiled brightly. "We would never take you away from her; we care about how much you love her.

"What China is trying to say is that we have already made a decision on the matter. The moment we brought you into Emmy's life," I said, finally moving off China's lap and placing myself on the other side of Isis.

"Neither of us wanted this; I promise you that. I never imagined letting anyone into my marriage," China chuckled, and I rolled my eyes.

"I know, and now I honestly feel bad," Isis said, poking her lip out.

"Girl, don't feel bad. You made me and China realize a lot about our relationship. I appreciate that. I said, grabbing her hand and holding it.

"As long as ya'll know, I'm not trying to jump into a relationship with y'all or anything. But can we take it from here and see what happens?" Isis said this with an adorable look on her face.

"I don't see why not; it would be weird to just stop now," I said, and China nodded in agreement.

"Why would it be weird?" Isis asked with a look of confusion on her face.

"Girl, you literally saw my vagina." I said I was face-palming myself.

"Mmm, trust me, I remember. I saw plenty; I almost reacted very inappropriately, but luckily Emmy was there." Isis said it with a smirk, causing China to chuckle loudly.

"Yeah, Emmy really did save your life. China agreed, and I rolled my eyes. " Because if she wasn't right there, your ass would have been in trouble.

"You'll make me sick," I said, rolling my eyes. "What time are we going to the studio, babes?"

"My session is in an hour, love," Isis said, and I nodded, standing up as I did so.

"I'm going to get ready," I said as I blew a kiss in their direction as I walked away.
