TREVANTE POV
"What is it? I smell paint" Janet said as I had her eyes covered with my hands, walking her into the house I wanna buy for us.
I wanna move and give us a fresh start especially since we're having another kid in a month.
"Okay, open yo eyes" I said moving my hands. She opened her eyes and looked around.
"It's got four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a big backyard, we could put a swing back yard for Ivory and our baby boy on the way, and the living room and dining room is big enough for-"
"Wait wait- Trevante we have alot of things to work out before we even think about buying a new house" Janet said.
"I know we have a lot of stuff to work out but it doesn't mean we have to stop living before we do. I want us to have a house of our own, the house were in is YOUR house. If we buy this together, it'd be OUR house." I said. "Between you and me, we can cover the mortgage payments easily" I added.
She looked around again and smiled, before saying "Well it is nice.."
"Say you'll at least think about it baby.." I said.
"I will, I'll think about it" She said and I smiled.
"Now come on, you gotta see the kitchen" I said grabbing her hand.
"Wait wait- Just like you had this surprise for me, I got a surprise for you" Janet said.
"Really?" I said.
"Mhm" She said.
"What is it?" I asked.
She dug in her back pocket and pulled out the envelope, handing it to me.
I opened the envelope and pulled out two tickets to this club we've been wanting to go to called Groove Theory.
"Oh shit- two tickets to Groove Theory?" I said.
"Mhm, tonight for 6. So don't be late coming home" She said with a smile.
"Ayeeee I'm wit that, I'm down baby." I said giving her a kiss.
"I knew you would" She said.
"Thank you.. And thank you for giving another chance. Seriously." I said.
She nodded her head before giving me another kiss. "Alright let's look at the rest of this house" She said and I grabbed her hand before leading her to the kitchen.

JANET POV
"You know... When my uncle Lari died my father sent me roses and a note that I haven't even read yet" I told Trevante as we were at Groove Theory sitting at the table, eating first.
"For real?" Trevante said raising his eyebrows.
"Mhm, I haven't seen that man since I was 14 years old. What could he possibly want from me at this point? And my thing was, how the fuck he knew my uncle Lari died" I said.
"Did you tell your mom that he sent roses?" Trevante asked.
"No. I don't think I will either, I don't know" I said.
"Why not?" He asked.
"Because she was so hurt when he left. What if me telling her that brings back that pain back, you know? I'm just confused about it but I don't wanna think or worry about him right now. That's why I didn't open the note yet." I said.
