Hayden's Pov

In less than two minutes Michaela was back with our drinks. She gave me the two boxes of juice and sat beside me on the bench. "What did I miss?" She asked me and I shook my head.

"Nothing." I replied.

"Look, I thought something about what we were talking earlier."

I turned to look at her and raised my eyebrows. "Oh please, I'm curious to hear what you have to say."

"I thought that you don't have to go to a new house and you tell your grandmom to come and live with us. So as you say find a job and me too and someone can watch Valentino. I know and love your grandmom and so does she so why not?"

I stared at her thinking her advice. She had a point you know and that would be so good for me. I meant I would not spent my only money in a new house and I could save them for the future. Also, as Michaela said my grandma knowsew her and she would not have a problem to live with her, no she would be more than okay.

So, what I had to lose?

"I will concider it and answer you."

"Okay, I give you a minute to think about it." She said and we laughed." You know I will be happy if you all stay. I feel so lonely, especially now that I live on my own."

"Hey don't worry. You have us now and I believe that what you suggest is the best for me because I have to save money for Valentino. I don't like to lean on my mom or Ryan for money and if my grandma comes eventually I can find a job finally." I confessed and Michaela sighed nodding her head. I saw Valentino running towards us and his eyes immediately travel to the juice.

"Can i dink?" He asked me looking straight to my eyes.

"Yeah of course it's yours babe." I said and I opened the box and gave it to him and then run back but didn't play straight away since he was drinking.

"He's such a cutie."

"I know, right? Um, Michaela I want to ask for one more favor." I said and turned to look at her again. She smiled and leaned towards me.

"Anything, you know that."

"Okay, well on couple days it's Valentino's birthday and I want, if it's possible. to plan a party on your house. I want everyone to be there and this is an opportunity since my mom is here."

"Yeah of course. Do whatever you want. I don't care." She said." No! You know what? Leave it to me. I want to plan his birthday party. Since I'm his godmother and all."

"What? Are you sure? Come on Michaela, you don't have to. You already giving us your house." I protested but she shook her head.

"Our house!" She started and she put a hand in front of my mouth when she saw I was going to protest again. "Not a word, and yeah I'm sure. I want to do this and for your information I already know the concept of the party."

"Michaela, we're only you know us who are going to come. You know, us, Grayson's family, mine. That's all."

"And? I do not care love. Just leave me to do this without you on my head."

I put my hands in surrender. "Okay, do whatever you want."

"That's my nigga." She smiled and I rolled my eyes. We sat there in silence until Michaela's broke it. "Also, you need to make things right with Grayson. You can't just leave it like this and wait things themselves to be okay again."
