CHAPTER 21.

"Girl, what's wrong? Why are you limping?"

Yeah, that seems to be the highlight of today's question, everyone was concern about my difficulty in walking.

Yay..

My inner girl snickered at my annoyance.

"Just a result of her bad sleeping position." Fire said as he pop a chocolate drop cookie in his mouth.

Sveva quirk a brow as she stared at the man weirdly. "And you know this how?"

He smirked up at her and then pointed at finger over to me with a wink. "Long story short, I walked in on her drooling all over the floor, flat out sleeping in snores, you should have seen her."

I rolled my eyes at the idiot, Sveva laughed but then cut it short as Fire grip her by the hand and twist her body around quickly, he pulled me over to stand beside Sveva as he tried to hide his big ass frame behind us.

"Bruh what the fuck, who are you hiding from?" I asked as I scanned the slightly packed playground.

"Shh fuck, be quiet and just act normal."

Sveva throw her head back and laugh. "I swear not even Angel do shit like this."

I grinned as I tried to figure out who the man-child was hiding from and just within my reach, I spotted a older brown skin busty woman who was crouching to play with a little girl who looked to be four-years old, at the sand box.

I cleared my throat at Sveva who followed where my eyes were pointing and almost in sync we burst out laughing, tears welling up in our eyes as the chuckles rock our bodies.

"Keep it down, Jesus..." Fire huffed but we ignored him as we laughed which then eventually alerted the woman who stared over at us with a set of light green eyes. Her hair was snatched up into a large puff.

She narrowed her eyes as she spotted Fire and much to his surprise she avoided him and from the corner of my eyes I notice the seriousness that overtook his face.

Which was a first.

"I'll be back ladies." He stated and then he strolled over to her.

Fire took her by the arm and dragged her over to a tree which was out of ear-shot. I watched as they started arguing and then after a few minutes she clasp a hand to her mouth and broke down in tears which allowed Fire to pull her into a hug.

"You didn't answer my question, why were you limping?"

Sveva wiggled her eyebrows and said. "Is it because you did the nassttaayy." She shook her hand which was in a fist and then began dancing as we sat on the bench.

I grinned at her and gave her what she wanted to hear. "Yes mam."

She laughed. "Dayumn I wished I got some dick down myself."

"How is things of late?" I asked her then pop open the cork of the bottle water.

"I've been trying to get Angel into a school, he's becoming of age and I'm also looking for a second job, I won't lie the money at club Sin is stupid good but I need to live more comfortable."

I stared at her long and hard as the burning question that I wanted to asked her for a long time came to mind.

"Just say it girl, I know you want to ask with your stupid ass."

Kissing my teeth, I smiled and took a drink of the water. "What about the father?"

Sveva shrugged and then stared over towards her son who was playing with Xam on the slides. "Rafael and I have what you call a very complex relationship. I don't try to force his hand but he does step in every time for Angel. He asked me countless of time to support me personally but I refuse you know."

I nodded in understanding and after that we chatted some more.

"Aurora sorry to break it to you but Lorenzo called so I have to leave." Fire came over to us as he scratched behind his neck.

I frowned. "Alright let me just call Xam."

He shook his head no. "It's okay just hang out for the rest of the day, I'll send Cirano to pick you up alright."

I disagreed and began to pack up Xam's bag, I waved Sveva good bye and with a tired Xamuela, I walked towards the car.

Strapped in, I held Xam close as Fire drove off from the playground. We had a light convo until he pulled up to the estate. Pushing the car door open, I lift a sleeping Xam on my side and waved Fire a goodbye as he sped off.

I knew that Lorenzo had something planned but with my burning wound thigh still in effect, I decided to lay off until it's better.

Better to be safe than sorry.
