"He's cute Tt.", I look over at Niya and her niece.

"I think he heard you Tiana.", Niya responds trying to whisper. They bust out laughing and I chuckle.

Her niece and nephew came back this morning and they coo little kids. Tiana been whispering to her all the time about me. I feel a little a tug on my leg and look down.

"My sister likes you.", Jr tells me.

"Really?", I ask him trying to seem interested. I like little kids.

"Yep! She say you cute. I'll beat you up.", he says putting his fist up. I laugh and Niya pulls him away from me.

"He coo why you pull him away? I like lil man." , I say pulling him back. Jr sticks his tongue out at Niya and sits by me.

"Do you like me?", Tiana asks me smiling. My face drops and her face drops to.

"No because you won't give me a hug. ", I tell her acting like I was gonna cry. I used to do this to Brianna all the time, Lord rest her soul. Tiana looks at Niya and gets off of her lap. She runs over to me and opens her arms. I lift her up and hug her. She start giggling and sits beside me.

Niya mom is real nice. I don't know how she acts with Aniya but lil mama told me that their relationship is getting better. Tre and her cousin Terrance was alright. I can tell Tre feel some type of way about his lil sister dating. I can kinda understand where he coming from even though I don't have a sister.

"Wanna play with me?", Jr asks me.

"Play what?", I ask looking at the time. Carmelo supposed to be picking me up in my car.

"This.", he holds up a connect four board and I nod my head. I set it up and start playing with him. Niya and Tiana was watching us play. I let him win a few games because lil kids seem to get sad when they lose.

I hear a horn and look out of the window. "I gotta go now. But I'm coming back some time to whoop you in another game.", I tell him. He laughs and hugs me. Tiana follows suit and so does Aniya.

"Bye Juno!", they both yell. I wave at them and say bye to her family. Niya walks me out and Carmelo waves like a lunatic. I check my car and walk back over to Aniya.

"Thanks for letting me stay over.", I thank her.

"No problem. I should be thanking you because I would of never had a good night last night. Thanks for taking up for me.", she says referring to Malik bitch ass.

"Don't worry about it Lil mama. He'll think twice before messing with you again. I'll call you later.. I want you to make me some food.", I say over my shoulder. She laughs and flags me off. She walks back in the house and Carmelo pulls off.

"Win the bet last night?", he asks rushing it out.

"I'm not worried about that bet even though the money is technically mine. No we fell to sleep.", I respond honestly. Carmelo leaves it alone and turns the music up. I bob my head to the beat and wonder what my life would be like with Aniya.

"Last night Regina was getting unknown numbers calling her phone.", He tells me.

"Any clue who it could be?", I ask him sitting up in my seat.
