Allegedly Book 2

Toya

"Aww he looks so handsome." Onyx said when I showed her the picture Tony sent me of AJ. He had remnants left around his mouth of the ice cream Tony let him try.                                                  "Thank you! I bet he's all geeked up from the sugar though." I said and we both laughed.              "Definitely is. You get him back tonight?" she asked me.                                                                                    "Not tonight, I'll get him back tomorrow." I said as I put my phone back down.                                    "Aww at least they're respectful. A lot of people get the babies all sugared up and then pass them off to the other parent. Like tag, you're it!" We both laughed.                                                             "They never did me like that, thank God. But I think we're both considerate of the other person and we don't do stuff like that. At least not intentionally if we ever did." I told her.                                "That's good." she said as she looked over at me. "Soooooo...I gotta ask: You think Tony really serious about her?" she asked me and when I really thought about it, I knew.                                     "He is. He's different with her. I mean different in a good way. Almost like he seems happier than I had seen him in a while. And then she's cool as hell and good with AJ, so it's a win-win."              "Okay so here's my follow-up question would you ever date them?" she asked me.                              "Ummm...I don't know it's hard to answer that question when I don't know her personally."          "Interesting." she said with a smile and a slight giggle.                                                                                        "What?" I said intensely studying her face for what was on her mind.                                                           "So...you're bi-curious?" she asked me and I never really thought about it. "Or...unsure?"                "I guess unsure because I mean I've never gone after a woman or really lusted after one. Hell I think I barely even connect with females to be completely honest. But..."                                                  "But it's different when it comes to me and Dox?" she asked me.                                                                    "Sort of. Because I guess some of the things you and I do together are technically dates. But I'm not sure what this is." I told her in truth because we were just vibing honestly.                                       "It's whatever we decide it will be. I don't like to define things early on because it gets expectations a way to sneak themselves into play. To be transparent, I didn't expect to bond with you. How you seemed and how you are is so different. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that it is, but it's surprising. I think you give off energy that doesn't reflect in your actuality."                  "I'm glad that I'm a pleasant surprise then." I said with a smile.                                                                      "Also, you never struck me as curious but then again sometimes when we look in each others' eyes, you make me feel differently about that judgement as well." I think I may have blushed just a bit at that moment. "But you don't have to reply to that statement. It was just an observation." She said and instead of indulging in what I really wasn't sure of, I went back into business mode.  "So do you like the feel of these ones?" I asked her as we focused back on the pants I had made for her. Her and Dox were doing a maternity shoot and I wanted to make sure she felt as she should in what I had created or I'd make the necessary adjustments.                                                        "These are perfect as they are. I love how you listened when I said soft-girl." she said as I tried to embody what she wanted as a feel. I had made them these velour-like white pants and denim tops. I wanted to switch it up since most people wore the denim bottoms and white tops, this would be the reverse and make them standout more. I found a denim bucket hat for Dox and then denim accessories for her. They were gonna look so good in the optics.                                        "There goes my girls." Dox said as he walked into the room and came and planted a kiss on my lips and flashed me his million dollar smile. Then he walked over to her and placed a kiss on her forehead. "So...this me right here?" he asked as he picked up the clothes and looked over at me and I nodded. He began to take his clothes off and try on the pieces. "Good shit. I like this." he said as he took a look at himself in the mirror.                                                                                                       "That's everyday." She said to him and he looked over at her with them bedroom eyes.                 "I could say the same about the both of you." he said as I walked over and adjusted the hat on his head and took a step back to admire them together.                                                                                  "You two look spectacular! I cannot wait to see the pictures when they're done." I said as I looked them over and then started wrapping up the thread I had used earlier to adjust her waist a little bit. I be so excited to see all my work panning out the way I envisioned it.                                  "You coming to the shoot?" Onyx asked me.                                                                                                              "I can come if you guys want." I said and they both looked at me blankly.                                                  "We're all in this together, right?" Dox said as he walked over to me and we looked into each other's eyes. This was going a little differently than I imagined.                                                                  "Of course." I answered quickly. "However, I didn't know if this would be different." I said.              "Naw Cam is coming as well." Dox told me, which is Onyx's other man.                                                     "I figured we all should get comfortable with one another since we are the baby's village." Onyx said just as Cam walked into the room. I had only seen pictures of him before but damn was that man fine. I'm not mad at sis. Oddly enough he sort of reminded me of Tony, just a more ripped version. Looks to be slightly older as well, but I'm not mad.                                                                             "Hey y'all! Sorry I'm late, I stopped and grabbed us all some dessert." he said as he presented the cake he carried in. "You must be Toya." he said as he acknowledged me as he set the plate down and then extended his hand and we shook. "Pleasure to finally put a face to the name."       "Likewise." I said as he turned his attention to Onyx and they kissed.                                                       "You did a great job with the design of their fits." he said to me.                                                                 "Thanks, I try." I said to him.                                                                                                                                            "What? Don't be coy. You kill it every time you create." Dox said as he sung my praises.                     "Okay cuz you definitely accentuate everything I've ever needed you too. You're a beast." Onyx said.  Loved the feedback more than they know.
