A few months have passed since angel told king she wasn't in love with him anymore. And a lot has changed..... angel has started dating her longtime friend aiden and things are going great. He treats her with respect and he t...
"Wow mommy you look like a princess" micah said. I smiled and kissed his forehead. After dropping micah to his dad's I was spending new years eve with odell. I was extremely nervous and didn't know what to wear.
So after trying on 10 different outfits I finally decided on a floral crop top with a white skirt and some black heels.

"Okay munchkin time to go"
A half hour later I was knocking on king's door with micah on my hip. It wasn't long before king opened the door. "Hey sorry I'm late. Traffic is crazy out there" I said.
King stared at me in shock. "Wow you look nice. You have plans tonight?" He asked licking his lips.
I roll my eyes and hand him micah. " that's really none of your business. Anyway I'll be back tomorrow afternoon to pick micah up" I said turning around.
Before I could make it all the way down the steps king grabbed my arm gently. I turned around and gave him a face." Your the mother of my child It is my business" he said softly.
As I looked into his eyes I saw jealousy and sadnesss swirling inside them. "How many times do we have to have this talk. I'm a free woman I can do as I please. Just because I had your baby doesn't make me your property" I said.
"Nobodys saying that angel. Its just hard seeing you dressed like this and knowing this is all for another guy. I remember when you couldnt even stand the thought of being with anyone but me. Now everythings so different and I hate it. It sucks being hopelessly in love with you and knowing I can never have you again" he said sadly.
I felt a twinge of guilt as I stared at the man I use to love with all my heart. I knew there was nothing I could say to take his pain away. " I have to go .." I said quietly.
I walked away quickly not waiting for a response.

"I was starting to think you wouldn't come" odell said giving me a hug.
"Sorry I had to drop my son to his dad's" I told him.
"Its cool micah comes first I understand" he said. It was so refreshing to have a guy understand that, aiden never did.
"So are you gonna give me a tour of your big ass house" I said jokingly. Odell chuckled and held his hand out.
One hour later...
"Wow your home is so beautiful" I said.
"Thank you. Maybe one day you can show me yours" he said.
I waved him off." Its nothing to fancy just a 2 bedroom condo" I said.
Odell smirked." So. I still wanna see it" he said licking his lips.
I blushed and turned away." So you still didn't tell me what we're doing tonight" I said nervously.
"Well I was thinking I could cook dinner and we could get to know each other over dinner" he said shyly.
"That sounds great. I just wish I would've dressed more casual now" I said feeling slightly embarrassed.
"I don't mind. You look absolutely stunning" he said.
" thanks" I said shyly.
Odel smiled and clapped his hands." So what do you like to eat?"

"Daddy tell bradley to stop cheating" quinn whined. Both the twins were currently playing on the brand new wii u I had got them for christmas.
"I'm not cheating. Your just a sore loser" bradley said sticking her tongue out.
"Don't call your sister a sore loser. And play fair bradley" I said sternly.
Bradley rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the game. Out of both my twins I knew bradley would be the one to give me grey hairs when she got older. She had so much sass and attitude for being only 2.
I looked over at micah who was super focused on the ipad mini I had gotten for him. It wasn't that hard to keep my son happy. He loved three things: the park, sweets and any electronic that had paw patrol on it.
As I continued to stare at my son I realized how much he acts just like angel. Micah may have my looks but he had his moms tempermant and calm nature hands down.
Thinking about angel left a bad taste in my mouth. I felt like a pathetic loser after being rejected by angel for the millionth time. Why did I continue to pursue her when she clearly didn't want to be pursued.
Maybe she's right. we're better off co parenting and seeing other people. I knew it wouldn't be too hard for me, girls flocked to me all the time I just always ignored them.
Perhaps its time for me to get back to living the life of a bachelor..
