Ch.11

Sorry for the late update guys I had to take a couple of days off since the new album release hit really close to home anyways enjoy!

"Amanda Is your room clean?"

"Yes mommy!"

Candace nods. She has been cleaning all morning getting ready for Amanda's play date and if she was lucky mommy would get to play a little too.

"I'm so excited!" Amanda says coming down the stairs. Candace smiles at the outfit she chose to wear. She has on denim overall dress that her grandparents got her with a rainbow shirt underneath and polka dot leggings. Candace chuckles. She definitely has personality. Candace however opted to wear jeans and pink spaghetti strapped shirt since it was a warm day. There is a knock on the door and Amanda squeals.

"I'll get it!" She says and runs to the door. Candace follows behind her.

"Hi Mr.Jeremy! Hi Xavier!" She says with a big smile which is adorable because she is missing a tooth.
Jeremy smiles brightly at the little girl.

"Hey gorgeous! Love the outfit"

"Thank you" She says twirling and showing off her outfit.

"We brought you a gift"

Amanda's eyes widened

"Really?! What is it?"

Xavier hands her what looks to be a homemade bracelet made out of beads.

"Wow thanks!" She says slipping it on.

"Come on Amanda we should let them in before they burn in the sun"

She steps aside and they come in.

"Thank you. And this..is for you"

Jeremy pulls out a box of chocolate and

Candace gasp. "You got me something? Why?"

"Just as a thank you for opening your home to us. Plus this chocolate goes great with cookies."

Candace rolls her eyes.

"Ohhh so this is also a gift for yourself"

He smirks. "Guilty"

"Cmon Xavier let's go play!" Amanda says grabbing Xavier's hand and pulling him to her toys that are set up in a corner of the living room.

"So.. Welcome to my home" Candace says sheepishly.

"It's not much but-"

"It's..homey. A lot like your parent's house actually."

Candace smiles. "Thanks."

"Growing up in boarding school you don't get much of the 'homey' vibe. Especially when your rooming with a bunch of other guys who can't even do their own laundry"

Candace chuckles. "That's actually pretty sad"

"Hey I think despite that I turned out pretty good don't you think?"

"More than good" She thought to herself.

"Eh you're alright I guess" she says shugging playfully and walking to the kitchen.

He scoffs and follows her.

"You know I can still fire you"

"You wouldn't" she says in a sing song voice.

"You're right I wouldn't but I can give you a crap load of casework"

She laughed. "Touché."

"Alright you ready?" Candace says putting on an apron.
