Heavenly's POV

Two weeks later

"So how is he?" Logan asked as we were sitting on Jordan's porch with Jada watching the guys talk and play with Chase. "Parent wise, he's great." I said watching them.

"And personally? How is he other than being a parent." Jada asked. "He's fine, I'm not really worried about his personal life. I'm only worried about him being a good father to Chase." I said knowing where they're going with this.

"Uhhhhhh! You're killing us Heavenly! How are you and him doing....together?" Logan asked with wide eyes. "As parents fine, great actually." I said holding in my laugh. "Oh my goodness, you still don't understand?" Jada asked as irritated as Logan.

I laughed, "I know what you were asking since the first question. You want me to tell you if there's going to be an us again, and or if there is an us. I'm not going down that road again, there won't be an us ever again unless someone asks who are Chase's parents." I said smiling.

"So you don't have feelings for him?" Logan asked staring at me surprised. "Nope, Nada. Not one bit of it, other than him being the father of my child." I said with my hands under my legs to stop the craving for rubbing them together, because unfortunately everybody knows about my weird habit I do with my hands.

I saw all the boys holding their noses as Deandre ran to me with Chase in his arms. "I guess this means he has a smelly diaper you want me to change?" I asked taking Chase from Deandre.

I walked into the house and changed his diaper then tied it in a small Safeway bag and took out to the dumpster. I washed my hands and walked back outside holding Chase.

The first thing I see is this girl name Mena flirting with Deandre as he just felt all on her. He was grabbing her ass making her laugh like that's cute to be doing in public. She looked up at me with a smile on her face.

She knows that this is Deandre's baby, but she's one of the girls who kept telling me it wasn't, calling me a liar, a bitch, a hoe, and more. She kept trying to fight me right along with Candace.

I walked to my seat as soon as Chase started making noises catching Deandre's attention. He looked up at me as I sat down with Chase on my lap. He walked away from her and up on the porch to me.

"Why didn't you bring him back down?" He asked leaning on the railing. "Because you seem a little busy with your girlfriend. I don't want her around my son, we have a bad history if that's what you want to call it. You should really hurry and get back to her, she looks impatient waiting for you." I said trying to sound fine.

He walked away, back down to her. I knew he hadn't changed one bit. She kissed his cheek then mugged me and walked away with the stink face.

I leaned back not liking any of it one bit. "No feelings huh?" Logan said as her and Jada were watching me the whole time. I gave them a fake smile before going back to jealous and upset.

"Uh oh, Heavenly your boyfriend is coming!" Jayson, Jordan's twin brother said laughing. I know exactly who he is talking about.

He's talking about Kyle, some guy who plays on the school football team that I had to tutor. He ended up liking me, and we kissed once but I told him that we could only be friends and that the kiss didn't mean anything it was just a in the moment thing, which it was. Now when we see each other we say hi, and sometimes he drops by Jordan's house like now to say hi and talk.

I handed  Chase to Logan before walking down to where the guys were. I waited for Kyle to arrive. "Don't say anything stupid, any of you." I warned them as Kyle finally reached us.

"Hey Heavenly," Kyle said smiling. "Hey Kyle, I haven't seen you in forever." I said hugging him. "Do you have time to talk?" He asked still smiling. "Sure, I guess." I said walking out the gate and closed it giving Jayson who was saying "Kyle and Heavenly sitting in the tree K I S S I N G." I stopped him when I gave him a deadly glare making everyone including the girls to laugh except Deandre.

"Oh Deandre, Wassup man? When did you get out?" Kyle asked with his hand out for dap. "Yesterday," Deandre said plainly as he stared straight not even acknowledging Kyle's presence.

Later that day

I am at home finally, laying in bed with a sleeping Chase. Deandre had been quiet ever since Kyle and I went on our walk as we talked. But he said he was coming over. He for some reason only comes over when GG and Poppop are leaving. They're going to book club.

Deandre came into my room closing the door as it was before he opened it and walked in. He walked over to me as I was laying down on my back. He crawled up on the bed and laid between my legs as his head rested on my stomach.

"Why are you so quiet?" I asked use to him laying on me and jumping on my bed while I'm sleep. "Since when did you and Kyle become a thing?" He asked not looking up at me.

"So this is why you have been so quiet? Well if you must know, we aren't a thing. I only tutored him for like a month and we kissed then we just remained friends like I asked. I mean it's nothing really. I'm guessing the guys turned it into something it's not. They probably said you have been gone for a while and me and Kyle are talking." I said.

"Yea, something like that." He said calmly. People expect Deandre to be wild since he's quiet around people he don't talk to, but he's just calm and collective....when he's not drunk or high. "I don't think you should be laying on me like this." I said playing in his soft curly hair with one of my hands.

"Why not? I do it all the time." He asked sounding confused. "I don't want you to get in trouble by your girlfriend." I said still a little jealous. "Who is this girlfriend?" He asked playing games knowing who I am talking about.

"Mena, she gave me the stink face before she walked off today." I said calmly as I continued to play in his hair. "She's not my girl, just some girl I use to smash every now and then." He said as he sat up.

I removed my hand from his hair as he sat up. He looked down at me then laid back down. I could tell he wanted to do something, but decided against it. I just placed my hand back in his hair and continued to play in it, like nothing happened.
