We spent the rest of the evening talking. Aaliyah and Caine left since they could only keep the kids with her mom for so long, and Jericka took Meka home. Kiva had fallen asleep so I took her back upstairs and that left just me and the couple.

Angelica didn't want to be here and I could sense that easily. She glared at everything in the room as me and Trae talked.

"Trae, my mom just texted, she said she needed us to come get our baby back. She says he's going wild on her furniture." She said and looked at me. She pulled him up and walked over to the door. He yanked away from her and walked over to me.

"It was nice to see you again, Mace. We should catch up sometime, eh?" He asked. I nodded and he embraced me hesitantly. I hugged him back and he squeezed tighter. It was as if all of the hugs he'd missed out on were combined into one simple embrace. When we pulled away he looked as if he were about to say something, but Angelica pulled him out of the house.

I was alone now.

9 pm...and I felt alone.

I usually would've been fine, but now something in my head is just ticking away. I couldn't stop thinking about our conversation, his face when he found out Kiva was his, and mostly, his hug. His arms wrapped around me, making me feel safe and secure. I didn't like that. I didn't want him to think that after one hug and an explaining session, that I'd except what he did. And they may or may not have a child. A boy too!! Trae always wanted a son and I bared him a girl. I went to my room and plopped onto my bed. Kicking my moccasins off, I laid down and let my mind finally rest.

I woke up on Monday morning to take Kiva to school. She was in Kindergarten and was in a class with Lisa and the boys. I quickly bathed her, put her on lotion and deodorant, dressed her in her uniform which was black pants and a white shirt with the black vest over it. Lastly I put her in her white converses and pulled her hair up into a puff ball with a white bow and got my keys.

"C'mon baby girl." I said.

"Coming mommy." She said and hopped into her booster seat. I strapped her in and got in the front seat. On the way to her school I felt myself waking up more and sighed. I wouldn't be going back to sleep at all.

I escorted her to the kindergarten chaperone who took the kids to class. I looked out the corner of my eye and saw Trae with a little boy. My eyes stung.

I guess he did have a son. I kissed Kiva on the forehead before going back to my car.

"Mace?" I heard someone ask.

Crap. "Hey, Trae."

He let the little boy go to his teacher and walked over to me. I looked down. Why did I feel shy all of a sudden?

"Taking Kiva to school I see." He said. I nodded. He looked over at where I had just been and spotted Kiva. He smiled a little and looked back at me.

"Macy, I feel that we didn't get the proper time yesterday to talk...so..um... Do you mind going to get some breakfast with me, so maybe we could talk?" He asked shyly. Hold up....shyly....shy-ly?

"Um, yeah." I replied. Hmph. Short, simple, to the point.... I love it.

"Cool, just follow me." He said and we headed to our cars. He got into a sleek misty gray 2016 Camaro and the sound of the engine was like music to my ears. His car was my dream car, and gray was my favorite color.....Hmmm.
