Five.

H A Z E L ' S P O V :

After a nice, ten minute shower, I got dressed in high waist capirs, a vintage sweater shirt and some doc martens. 

"Good morning again to everyone." I half smiled, taking my place at the table. I said grace and dug into my food. "Mmm, this is sooo good." 

"Obviously, you ain't even said nothing civil. Just been commenting 'bout the food the whole time." Layla smirked at me, and we both laughed. 

"It's really good. I haven't had a real home-cooked meal in a while." 

"Yeah, me too." She said quietly, and we all just ate our food in silence. Daniel came downstairs a few minutes later, dressed to impress. He was laughing and smiling with Azura, and she looked like she was having a lot of fun. I smiled to myself about that. She's never had a real father figure. Maybe grandfather, but never father. And maybe Daniel was exactly what I needed him to be. I'm determined to keep my feelings in a box for now though, I can't just go around catching feelings for everybody. I've got things to do and focus on, I can't just let 'love' or 'lust' get in the way of that. 

"Buenos dias mami." Azura said, smiling at me. 

"Good morning my baby. How are you?"

"I'm good. Mommy, Daniel got me dress, you like it?" She twirled around in a pretty little red sundress, with white sandals. She looks very cute in it. 

"Yes bebe, tu eres muy bonita." [Yes baby, you are very pretty."]

"Good morning beautiful." Daniel said to me, smiling and taking the seat next to me, putting Azura in his lap. 

"Morning." I smiled back. "So, uh. You wanna go or nah?" I mumbled. 

"Yeah, we can go. Don't you drop Zura off at a daycare or sum'in?" He asked. 

I nodded. 

"Cool. So uh, we'll drop her off and then I'll take ya pretty ass out." 

I laughed and nodded. "Okay."

"Where the hell y'all goin' ?" Layla asked, with a ghetto voice. 

"None of yo damn business my nigga." Daniel laughed. 

"A'ight bet. You gon' be mad when I beat yo ass though." 

"Whatever girl, but uh, if you don't mind, gotta take the wifey out." He said, throwing his arm around my shoulder. I rolled my eyes at him and pushed him off of me. Wifey after only two days?

"Layla, can you watch Zura while we go?" I asked, not wanting to have to drive over to Mrs. Tina's. I didn't want to spend his gas dropping off my daughter when I had someone fully capable of doing it for free here at his house. 

"Yeah girl. I luh my lil niecey wiecey." She smiled, putting her dish in the sink and grabbing Azura from her spot on Daniel's lap.

We rode around for about ten or fifthteen minutes before we stopped at an Amusement Park. It wasn't anything like six flags, it had different buildings and only had a few rollercoasters. We stepped out of the car and headed to the ticket place. We got the wrist bands and headed inside. 

"Oh my god Daniel can we go ice skating ?!" I yelled, yanking on his arm and pointing towards the Ice Skating building in amusement. 

"Damn ma, chill." He laughed. "Yeah, we can go." 

I was about to run over there and leave him here by himself when I felt him grab me by my waist and pull me into him. My hands landed on his chest and I looked into his eyes confused.
