Zuri POV 🙋🏾♀
7:00 am
My stomach hurts so bad. I don't even feel like getting up. Echo gives me a call. I decline and slam my phone on the table.
God! She won't leave me alone.
Anthony taps me. I turn around.
"Why'd you slam your phone?" Anthony asks me while putting on his shirt.
I don't respond. Anthony sighs.
"So I know you decided not to have a party for Myla but maybe it can just be a small gathering. Like my mom, dad, and maybe the twins?" Anthony asks me.
I completely forgot today was her birthday!
I sit up. I rub my eyes.
Hold on! Did he just say the twins? I know he lying.
"The twins?" I say while giving him a crazy look. Anthony sits on the bed.
Yes he assembled it.
Anthony puts his hand on my thigh.
"This is about Myla not you. It's not their fault about what happened. We grew up, Zuri. Besides, there siblings." Anthony says while looking disappointed.
"Half. Siblings actually." I say while nodding my head. "And maybe I haven't grown up. Do you know how stupid I would look if I invited the girl that I beat up!" I say breaking down.
Gosh! These hormones.
Anthony stares at me.
"I-I-I'm just scared. T-T-T-That she'll hurt me again. I wasn't ready." I say while putting my head on Anthony's neck. I sob.
Anthony doesn't do anything. I sit on his lap. I realize something.
Why is he so hard?
I lift my head up and look at him.
"What?" He says while scoffing.
"Wow! You really get hard when I'm sad?" I ask him laughing.
"Listen, you can't blame me. The way you cry is attractive." Anthony says while wiping the rest of my tears off my face.
"Stop! That's actually weird!" I say while smiling.
Anthony smiles at me and then kisses my temple. I sigh.
"So?" Anthony says.
"Ok, ok fine! Just invite them over." I say while getting my towel to take a shower.
1:00 pm
I fix Myla's edges and pull down her dress. I put on her sandals. I walk down the hall to the kitchen.
Her hair is so cute!
