Maria POV

"DADDY!" I yelled from downstairs. I am going to ask him something very important and I don't know what he is going to say. I heard his room door open then close. He came downstairs and stopped in front of me.

"Yes baby girl?" He asked. I smiled at him and gave him a hug.

"I was wondering if I can sort of...kind of.....move..." I said. He frowned then walked in to the kitchen. I grumbled and followed him. He grabbed the orange juice form the fridge.

"To where?" He asked plainly. I took a deep breath.

"Back to Atlanta.." I said. He drank his juice then looked at me. I sat down and prepared myself for the speech I am about to get. He put his glass in the dishwasher then put the juice away.

"Well... under some conditions. You are going to get a job. I will buy you a condo and be paying half each month but your going to be paying the other half. You got to finish college and no damn babies." He said. I screamed and squeezed him. I am so excited. I miss Atlanta. California is fun and all but I wanna go HOME!

"Daddy." I heard Miah say walking in to the house from the backyard. Miah is Carin and my dad's little child. She looks just like Carin but also like my daddy.

"Yes baby girl?" He asked bending down to her height.

"Mommy said she wants to have a big wedding with flowers and a big dress and ME!" She said. I chuckled and walked out the kitchen. That little girl is to cute.

I grabbed my keys and phone and left the house. I got in to my car and made my way to my boyfriends house. Yah I actually got a boyfriend. We have been dating for 2 years now. My dad doesn't know only because my boyfriend, Mike, is in the drug game and my dad said he would kill me and him if I ever dated someone like that, my dad is crazy so I know he would do it.

I pulled up to Mikes place and locked my car. I don't know how he is going to take me moving. I knocked on the front door and one of his workers opened the door.

"Oh, hey Maria." He said. I waved and walked in. I started coughing because it smelt like straight weed and alcohol. I peeked in to the living room and it was just niggas everywhere. I probably should have called. I felt someone wrap their arms around me. I jumped and turned around. I calmed down once I noticed it was Mike.

"Hey baby. Wassup?" He asked giving me a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck an gave him a hug.

"I got to tell you something." I said. He looked at me sideways.

"You pregnant?" He asked making a funny face. I started laughing.

"Oh yes baby. Twins." I said rubbing my flat stomach. We both started laughing and he kissed me again. See, we just joke about shit like this and almost everything.

"Na but forreal. What you need to tell me?" He asked. I looked at my feet and shifted from one foot to the other. I am so scared to tell him.

"I am moving to Atlanta." I said lowly. He grabbed on to my waist and brought me closer to him. He led me to his office. He sat on the couch and I sat on his lap facing him. I put my head on to his chest and he stroked my hair.

"Why you leaving babe?" He asked. I shrugged and sighed heavily.

"I just want a change. I need to become more independent. My school already approved the tranfer and my dad agreed." I said. He sighed and held on to me.

"So you want to leave me?" He asked. I could hear the hurt in to his voice. I think I am going to cry. I lifted my head off his chest.

"No. I want to be with you more than anything. It's just that I am all the way in Atlanta and Your in Cali and I don't know Mike." I said. He sat me next to him on the couch then got up. He paced his office for a little. He stopped then punched the wall. I jumped because I was surprised.

"Shit Maria. The hell am I suppose to do? I can't be with out your ass. You keep me sane and shit." He said. I stood up and walked over to him. I pulled him in to a hug.

"I am sorry Mike. Ima be visiting alot and we can facetime and talk all the time. I am willing to do anything to make it work as long as your willing." I said. He smiled and kissed my forehead. I smiled and buried my face in to his chest. He smells so good.

"I am willing babe. I got to give you something though. I was going to give this to you next month but I don't have next month now." He said. He reached in to his jeans pocket and got on to one knee. He pulled out a small red box. I covered my mouth with my hand. Omg I can't believe this. Me heart is racing. I think I am going to die. This can't be real. Tears strated pouring out.

"Maria, we have been together for as long as I can remember. Ever since we met I felt change in myslef. You made me a better me and i am so grateful for that. I want you to be mine forver and to have my little bad ass children. Maria I love you more than anything in the world. Will you please do me the honor in marrying me?" He said. I gasped and held my heart. I was full on bawling now. I am so happy and surprised. I can't even talk. I can see his face fill with worry the longer I take.

"Oh Mike. Of course. YES!" I said. He smiled and put the ring on my finger. Oh god. The ring was beautiful. It was heart shaped diamond with diamonds going all around it. I smiled and he hugged me picking me off my feet. I am so happy right now. i don't know if I am going to tell my dad just yet but Ima tell Carin.

"You don't know how happy you just made me." He said. I chuckled and let go. I wiped my face of my tears. Thank god I have no make up on right now.

"Alright. I got to go babe. But we are facetiming tonight." I said. He nodded and led me out his office. I waved goodbye to everyone and left.

Marcus POV

"I don't know what to do about Jaleny. She is not acting like herself and she didn't even eat today." I said while watching a movie with Ariela.

"I know. I know that if we ask she wouldn't tell us. She only tells shit to Jerome and I know he won't tell us so we got to find out by ourselves." She said. I sighed and rubbed my face. This is so damn difficult.

"Are you staying the night?" She asked. I shrugged and ate some of the popcorn. Y'all don't know how bad I want to be with Ariela again and actually marry her. It's just that we are so much alike and our relationship is like poison. We are honestly better off as friends. We are happier I guess. I still love her but I have also lost trust in her so.

"Mommy!" Rachelle yelled coming down the stairs. Rachelle is me and Ariela's little girl. I feel bad that she didn't get to grow up with both her parents together at all. We make it work though.

"Yes baby?" She said. Rachelle hopped on to the couch in between us.

"Mommy, I can not find my pillow pet." She said. I sighed and smiled. I know she is going to ask for another one.

"Which one? You have 5." Ariela said. Rachelle shrugged her shoulders. She started pouting. Thats how you know.

"Nope. nope. Nope. Not gonna happen little girl. We are not getting any new stuffed animals. You better take you little behind back upstairs and find it." i said. She huffed and stomped upstairs with her little attitude. I blame Ariela for spoiling her to much. I heard the door open and in walked Jerome. I don't even know where this boy went.

"Where were you?" I asked. He dropped his keys on the table near the door and took his shoes off.

"I went to go and chill with a girl that I know." He said. I nodded and looked back to the movie.

"Jerome, I know you aint no virgin but as long as you don't give me any grand children yet then do you. Just wrap up because these thots these days be carrying all types of diseases." Ariela said. I laughed a little at that. She was so serious to.

"Yes ma'am." He said. He jogged upstairs and I heard his door close. I stretched and stood up.

"Alright. I got to go ma." I said. She turned the tv off and wrapped herself in the blanket. We hugged and I left.
