My Brothers Lover

Chapter 21

Zoe POV
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Veronicaaaaaaa! Happy birthday to you!" We all sung to Veronica. "Now blow out your candles." I said. Some kid ran up and blew them out for her. Veronica started to cry and the kids mom came up and grabbed him. "I'm so sorry! It's Charlie's birthday too and he just wants some cake." A lady said walking up to us. She and her son both had Vanilla skin. "It's ok." I admitted. She popped her sons hand and we lit the candles again. This time we made sure Veronica and only Veronica blew them out. "Yayyy!" Everybody said once she blew out the candles. I cut the cake so everybody got a piece. "Here comes baby daddy." Zariah whispered in my ear pointing over to Isaiah walking in the door. He had a huge gift bag. He saw us and walked over to us. "Hey everyone." He said. Everybody said their hellos except me. I looked down and kept eating my cake. "Hello Queen Zoe." He said. I looked at him and curled up my lips. "Why." I asked. "Why what?" He said. "Why are you here." I stated. He wiped his face. "Can I talk to you." He said grabbing my hand. I looked at Matthew and he said it was ok. Me and Isaiah walked outside and to his car. "I'm not getting in." I told him. "Why not?" He asked. "I'm just not." I demanded. He opened the back car door and got in. I got in behind him knowing he couldn't drive me anywhere from the back. Aaliyah and nobody else was in the car. "Baby look I'm sorry." He said. "I'm not baby." I mumbled. "Zoe why are you acting like this?" He asked. "Like what?" I responded. His leg started to shake. I got nervous because he was holding himself back from something. No telling what it could be. Him yelling, cursing me out, slapping me, nobody knows. I stared at him as he stared at me. The motion of his leg picked up. Then it slowed down. He forcefully grabbed me and passionately kissed me. I pulled back from the kiss. "What was that?" I asked. "I miss you and I'm going through things." He said. "Do you need to talk about your problems with someone?" I asked him. He nodded his head. I laid down and he laid down in between my legs. "What's wrong." I said running my fingers through his thick hair. "Aaliyah is the center of my problems. She's forcing me to do things and everything. She says I can't go to college so you know where I work? Burger King. I wanna be a lawyer. But no. I work at Burger King. She got pregnant before and we had an abortion. She just found out she's pregnant again and NOW she refuses to have an abortion. She's messing up my life to be honest Zoe. I wanna be back with you. Laying there in bed. Telling each other secrets. Watching TV. I wanna put myself inside you again. But no. I can't. I wanna leave Aaliyah but she's scary ya know. She even tagged me in a Instagram video about us breaking up. It was scary." He said. "She threatened to cut off my-" he began. "Ok Isaiah. That's a little too much." I said. "Sorry." He mumbled. I kissed his forehead. "It's gonna be okay though." I said rubbing his stomach. "Man I love you and I wanna make things right between us again." He said. He sat up and faced me. "I love you Zoe Powell." He said kissing me. "I love you too Isaiah Powell." I admitted. I opened the car door and we walked back inside.

Isaiah POV
We got out the car and walked back inside. Zoe sat back in her original seat and I sat next to Zoe. "So how we gonna explain to Veronica that I'm her biological father?" I asked Zoe. "We won't have to. I don't want you back right now Zay. You broke my heart more than once and all I did was love you." She answered. I stared at the ground realizing she was right. Our parents weren't in our lives so she got no love from them. Then she falls in love with me and after awhile I show no love for her. I guess she's just tired of being hurt so much.
