"Let me hop in."

Chres said before jumping on the side of me in my selfie. We took about 5 pictures then laughed.

He said not to be all dressy so I had on something casual. I had on my adidas sweats, white Tru tee, and my black Red Bottom gymshoes. I had on light makeup, red lipstick, and my hair was in a ponytail. Me and Chres were matching, which was corny- but cute.

"Can you tell me where were going?" I whined.

He chuckled and his jacket. "Grab a jacket, might get cold."

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my white cardigan.

We walked downstairs and saw the kids eating wings at the table. Ariana was staring at Bahja while she was playing with her fingernails.

"Were leaving guys." I said grabbing the car key giving them to Chres.

Bahja jumped up from the sound of my voice and Ariana looked at me. "Can I talk to you guys for a sec?" She got up from the chair and motioned us in the living room.

"Could've sworn you was upset with us." Chres joked.

"Oh!" I said. "Me and daddy came to an agreement that you can date Kamren."

"Yeah whatever. Guys theres-" She stopped talking. "Wait, seriously?"

I nodded. "You guys like eachother, we understand, were supportive babygirl."

She smiled lightly then frowned. "Good but that's not important right now. There's something wrong with Bahja."

"What do you mean?" Chres asked.

She shrugged. "It's something sketchy about her."

"Look Ari we gotta go, call us if anything goes wrong." I said walking to the door.

She followed me. "Mom I'm serious! She's acting different."

Chres walked towards me. "See you later babygirl." He said before kissing her forehead as we left out the door.

20 minutes later we pulled up at a carnival.

"A carnival? Really?" I laughed.

"Well yeah." He said. "We always go out to eat, I wanted to try something different. Besides, I rented the whole place out for two hours. I even invited Ray and India."

He parked the car and we got out. We got our wristbands and immediatly spotted India & Ray along with two others.

"Who else did you invite?" I asked.

"Just them." He said. "I guess they invited the other two."

As we got closer we recgonized their faces. "Hi I'm Ayesha and this is my husband Steph."

I flashed a kool-aid smile. "It's nice to meet you guys."

"Woah, Steph Curry I'm a huge fan!" Chres said shaking his hand.

"So am I." Steph laughed.

"So, shall we?" India said before running to the ferris wheel as we followed her.

I stared at Bahja, she didn't make eye contact with me not once. She was watching tv.

"Bahja." I said.

"Hm?" She still didn't look at me.

I tapped my fingers on the table. "How are you?"

She nodded good then stared at the ground. "How about yourself?"

"Fine." I stood up and walked towards her. She quickly turned around in the other direction. "Why are you-"

"Bee!" Jacob yelled.

She shot her eyes at him and smiled. "Yes cutie?"

"Can me and Kam go to the playroom?"

"Sure."

We all stared at her. "Well." I said. "Arent you gonna walk them there?"

She looked confused. "They can't go themselves?"

"No and you know that." I sighed. "The house is too big, they'll get lost."

"Oh okay." She stood up and grabbed Jacob's hand. "Show me the playroom."

I scrunched my eyebrow. "The map is on the fridge."

She stared at the fridge for a moment. "Okay let's go guys."
"Bahja look at me." I said. She ignored me. "Bahja." She walked towards the elevator. "Bahja!" I turned her body towards me and looked into her eyes.

My mouth dropped to the floor, I couldn't believe it.
