No Letting Go [Completed]

Twenty-Seven

[Couple Months Later]

{Aaliyah's POV}

The past couple months have been good. Started my job about a week after moving to New York and it's been a smooth ride ever since. The pay is good and even though I make that good money, Quinton insists on paying for any and everything Riley and I require. I tried to tell him that I got it, but he won't let me. So I have I opened a new bank account and I'm just saving it all up. Only thing I am paying for are my student loans. Something he doesn't know about and doesn't need to. I at least wanna pay for something.

Over the 2 months we've been gone, Colin has only seen Riley once. He's been busy and training his ass off. They talk every single day though. He at least makes time to do that. He's always sending her stuff though. Stuff that goes to my office because Quinton didn't want Colin knowing where we live. I didn't bother to even ask why due tot he fact I wanna keep any kind of drama at a minimum. Matter of fact, I don't want any drama at all.

"Mommy are you done packing?"

"Almost baby girl."

"Hurry mommy!! Daddy's waiting."

"He's gonna be waiting for a while Ry. Our plane doesn't leave for another hour and thirty minutes..and it's a long flight."

"Sorry. I'm just excited to see him."

"I know you are."

"Aren't you?"

"Baby go get your backpack...and don't forget your pillow." Giving her a pat on the butt before she walks out.

"I see someone's excited." Quinton says as Riley rushes passed him.

"Yeah. Well you know how she gets when it comes to her dad."

"Yeah I do....and I know how you get when it comes to him too." He wasn't too fond of the idea of me being in San Francisco for a week. We actually debated....no debated is too much of a cover up....we had arguments. But he's gotten over, I think. If not. Oh well. I'm not worrying about Colin, and haven't been in months. Him taking me to court was just the icing in the cake for me.

"What is that suppose to mean."

"It means that you act like you can't....control yourself around him. Like he got some type of hold on you."

"Really?" The last time I had more than a 5 minute conversation with him was when we were in court. Stop the madness. Please."

"Whatever."

"Why are you being so insecure?"

"Insecure? Never."

"Yeah well you sure are acting like it....I'm yours, so there's nothing to worry about." I say putting my arms around his neck.

"I know....and I love you....you know that right."

"Yeah. I know....I love you too."

"Mommyyy...I'm ready to go. Mr. Quinton stop kissing mommy so we can leave." We both laugh.

******************************

We finally land in San Francisco around 11 am, after a long ass flight. Colin said to call when we got here, he'd come and pick her up from the hotel.

"Mommy, why isn't daddy here?"

"He's gonna pick you up from the hotel."

"Can we just go to his house?" She whines.

"Baby, he's coming to get you."

"Pleaaaase. I just wanna see him already. I can't wait." I sigh.
