"Mya you didn't tell me you hired him too ! Dammit.I have to see that boy everyday." I fussed at Mya. "I'm sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry. I-I-I am sorry. I thought you liked him ! " Mya said laughing. "Bryce is actually a nice guy. You two should go on a date. " Mya smiled big , " I Can set it upppppp. " I sighed, " No thank you. I'll pass. That boy is a dick and he's completely full of himself and he's---"

" Right. Here . Ha , by the looks of it , you can't get enough of me." Bryce laughed , walking into Mya's house. I rolled my eyes and nudged Mya. "What is he doing here?" I whispered. "Mark must have invited him . " Mya whispered back . "WESSUP NIGGAAAA!" Mark ran downstairs and gave Bryce dap. "Wessup Foolie. Y'all ready?" Bryce laughed . " Yeah , Come on Tori . " I grabbed Mya's hand and made her come into the bathroom , "You made plans again ?" I asked her . " I told you yesterday we were going to the amusement park , God have mercy , Tori. You don't be listening to me . " She sighed , " Come on, we'll have fun." I looked at her evilly and walked out the bathroom . " Are we driving together or ? What?"

"Bet I could beat you right now in this basketball mini game." Bryce laughed , I looked at him and put down my milkshake. "Whatever , pretty boy . Game on. " We played the mini game for at least an hour or two and he won all of them . "Okay , look. If I win this one last round , you're going to have dinner with me , right here. Right now. " He smiled big , " Fine ! " I really didn't want to have diner with him. I wasn't interested in his games. Especially because of what I seen, he has a girlfriend and yet is trying to get with me. We played the game and it was 5 seconds left, we were tied and he was shooting so many shots at once , and once the timer went off I looked up at the score and he beat me. 23-21. "Fuck ," I whispered and rolled my eyes. We walked over to the small restaurant and sat at a small booth and ordered loads of seafood. "You must like seafood , eh?" He smiled. " I love it . Especially crab legs. " I told him , " You know you a pretty cool chick . " I smiled at him and continued to eat my shrimp.

" O M G , I Made you smile ! SCOOOREEE!" He cheered. I laughed at him , "You're dumb. "He kept smiling at me the entire night and his smile was gorgeous. I'll admit he was fine but I'm not dumb enough to fall into his arms and get my heart broken all over again. That would be dumb. "Tori , when Ima meet your son?" He asked. "Not anytime soon , we're just friends Bryce. " I told him . "Yeah , I know. That's my point. Can't I still meet him? Even if I'm not yo man?"

I sighed ," His birthday is tomorrow. I actually have to go to Toys R Us to get his presents. Do you want to come?" I asked him . "Yeah , man. That'd be cool . I'd really like that . You gonna throw him a little party?" He asked . I nodded and continued to eat , " A Monsters Ink Party. " He smiled , "That's cool . You know , I never would've knew you were a mom. " I looked at him weird ,"Why not?" I scoffed , "Chill Ma, " He laughed , "But a body like that. You look like a super model. You on some India Love type shit. " I laughed at him , " Like .. girl .. That as--"

"I'd appreciate if you didn't look at it, Bryce. " I told him . He changed his heart eyed face into a serious face and apologized. "We better get going. " I told him. He nodded , paid for the bill and we left. I texted Mya , and told her we were leaving . Once I got in my car , I looked and Bryce , "Race you to Toys R Us. "

"I beat you. " Bryce said , opening the door. I stuck my tongue out at him and walked into Toys R Us giggling my keys. Reminding myself what did JoJo want for his birthday. "Bryce , I need you to find the coolest little toy cars you can find. Some monsters ink decorations and hurry up we gotta go to the jewelry store before they close. Bryce got everything I asked for with no hesitation and he even paid for everything. "You know you didn't have to pay for all that , Bryce. I got it." I told him , He laughed at me "It's good , Tori. It's for lil man anyway." We went to the Jewelry store and picked up my son's necklace that I ordered special for him . I drove back to my place which was right next to Mya's so he could go inside and tell them bye but they had the doors locked , windows shut and curtains closed and music bumping loud. " I wouldn't go in there if I was you. They working on baby #2." Bryce laughed. I laughed and opened my door inviting Bryce in to put Jordan's stuff in my room. He was in awe when he put everything down , "Damn girl . This a nice house. " I laughed , "All for my baby boy. " I told him .

Bryce smiled at me as i escorted him to the door, "You not gon' let me get no coffee or nothing?" I laughed and shook my head , "Not his time . " He smiled big , "So another time?" I laughed again and shook my head , "Goodnight , B. " Before I could close the door he opened and asked for a hug. I put my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist. That hug was good as hell ... And it got a little too intense. He looked down at me grabbed my chin and kissed me . I broke it quickly but he kissed me again and I was up against the wall with his tongue connecting with mine. I started to grab his shirt and he gripped on my butt but then reality hit.

He has a damn girlfriend.

I broke the kiss and pushed him hard. "We can't . You need to leave. "

"What? Come on , T--"

"NOW Bryce. Go home to your girl. " I told him crossing my arms. He looked up at me and walked out , closing the door.

I knew I was dumb for this.
