Saffire Pov

"What's wrong with you?" I ask Zander while he has his back turned to me. I can tell something is wrong with him.

"Didn't I tell you to leave my room?"

"Didn't I ask you what's wrong with you?"

"What do you care? Three weeks and you didn't check on me not once."

"Your right. I don't care, but I don't want Zion getting hurt."

He grab me by my hand and push me out of his room then slam the door shut in my face.

I kick the door then walk away, "Fuck you then nigga. I don't need you anyways."

I walk downstairs and Zion is eating his cereal and Mrs Celia is trying to get Talia to eat something.

Talia has not been the same vibrant teenager I met a while back. I want to help her but I don't even know where to start.

"Hi daddy." I hear Zion say with excitement in his voice while a pack uo his toys to take home.

I look towards the entrance to the kitchen and sure enough Zander just walked in.

My inner girl is doing back flips while this man walk towards me. His beard is dripping wet, his pants is just below his Adonis belt and I'm almost soaking wet from just my thoughts.

"Hey Zion, what you eating?" He asks Zion.

"I'm eating cereal. Do you like cereal too?"

"Ofcourse, it's my favourite thing to eat."

I smile watching the both of them bonding over cereal. Now seeing them together I hate how I kept them away from each other for so long.

I hate not being completely honest with Zander about why I left and I'm still lying to him about when I knew I was pregnant.

"Me need Zion fi stay over for a few days."

I look at him looking at me and the only thing going through my mind is who the fuck he thinks he is?

Well apart from the daddy.

"Yow! You a hear me?"

I ignore him and continue to pick up Zion's toys from the floor.

Zander walks past me to get a bowl and we barely touch but I can feel the electricity going through my body.

Keep strong Saffire, keep strong. Zander is a manipulator and a narcissist.

I'm not going to allow myself to get back into his hold. Lord knows this man is dangerous.

"Zander you have too much shit going on right now to keep Zion safe."

He looks at me immediately before putting down the milk in his hand.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asks looking at me and licking his lips.

Close your legs girl.

"The funeral home that has Zues body called earlier this morning and I placed what they need on the desk in your office. My son and I are going home."

"Zion's home is with me but you can leave."

"Not going to happen." I reply still holding the bags in my hand.

"I want to spend time with my son before I die Saffire. You owe me that much."

His voice sound weak and I know it's the Zues thing that has him thinking like this.

I move closer to him and place my hand on his, he tense up a bit but relaxes.

"I'm sorry you lost your friend. I wish it never happened but it is the life you chose and your not getting my son."
