Honey's POV

Jay's phone rang.

Jason: hello?

He gave his phone to me.

Me: hello?

It was Kenan asking if he can celebrate my birthday with us. Jay said yes, and so did I.

When we got home, we quickly cleaned to everything... actually, shoved everything into a closet. And we waited for Kenan and Sean. Soon, they arrived.

Kenan: happy birthday, again, mommy!

I smiled and hugged him.

Me: thank you, Kenan.

Sean was smiling, but his smile changed when he saw me.

Me: what's wrong?

Sean: what happened to your cheek?

Oh crap.

Me: it's nothing.

Andy: nothing? I of all people should know how you look when you get slapped. What the hell happened, nie. Tell me, please.

I glanced at Jason, and he had his eyes closed and was shaking his head. I sighed.

Me: um... Jason and I were... in a small fight.

Jason: and I lost it.

I smiled, shyly at Sean. Kenan's jaw hung open.

Kenan: bad daddy!

Sean: today?

Me: it's nothing, Sean. Don't worry.

His eyes softened.

Sean: did you... umm... did I do this to you?

Worse, Sean, worse... but I just shrugged.

Kenan: happy birthday, mom!

Everyone burst out laughing. We had a pretty good time together, but both Sean and Jay kept glancing over at me.

When Sean and Kenan had left, Jason came over to me and hugged me.

Jason: I can't look at you.

Me: am I that ugly?

Jason: don't say that. You're perfect.

Me: then why not?

Jay: I've sinned today.

I sighed through my nose and pulled away. He didn't make eye contact with me. I pulled his chin up, so that he was looking at my eyes.

Me: it's okay, okay? I promise, Jay. There's been worse, and I'm stronger than you think, McCann.

He smiled. McCann meant business.

Jason: but I'll never be able to forgive myself.

Me: that's your job. I forgave you, Jay. You gotta forgive yourself now, okay?

I touched the M necklace.

Me: just do, Jay. Please.

His eyes softened and he smiled at me. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

Me: I love you, okay?

He nodded.

Jason: and I love you too...

His lips crashed onto mine, and his smile never left. He pulled away first.

Jason: you know, there's this one thing that makes Phillips feel familiar than he should.
