James stood outside Aja's hotel room waiting to walk to the set. He looked down at his watch as she came flying out like a bat out of hell. His eye widened at her attire, her pink sundress made his mouth water.

Damn. She's really trying to get a brother's attention today. He thought.

"Earth to James." Aja waved in front of his face as the elevator doors opened. "You okay?" She asked typing on her phone.

"Yeah. I'm good just trying to figure out why the hell was taking you so long to get ready and all you did was put on a dress." James said still checking her out.

"James keep your eyes up here, and women take a long time getting ready but you wouldn't know that since it's been years that you've had one." Aja joked.

"Ouch. Okay, I'll remember that when you want to go to get something to eat tonight." She smacked her lips and proceeded to text.

"Okay, Mr. Lonely. I misplaced my wallet yesterday so, you don't have to worry about paying for my food today." James licked his lips and smiled at her comment.

"Nah, you know I got you." Aja waved him off.

The sun beamed down on Kyrie as he watched the kids playing with Zeek in the back yard, He took a picture and sent it to Aja. He knew that she wanted to know everything that they'd be doing throughout the day. His mother came out with a pitcher of lemonade and lunch for the kids.

"Momma, I could've done that and you know you shouldn't be walking around especially with your hip replacement."

"Baby, I'm fine that surgery was over six months ago," Joanne placed the food and beverage down. "Kids come and eat!" She kissed Kyrie's cheek. " Stop worrying about me and this hip of mine, I'll be fine...besides shouldn't you be calling a certain someone." He chuckled. "Go on, get."

"I'll be back," Kyrie said as the kids raced over to Joanne.

He jogged up the stairs for a little more privacy and went walked into his office, Kyrie scrolled through his call log and clicked on the number he desired.

"Hey, Ms. Willis, it's Joanne's son Kyrie," He informed. "I wanted to send some flowers out to my wife, a little something that says 'I love you and I'm sorry.' and a bottle of your finest champagne." Smiling widely Kyrie listened to the beautiful words she spoke into his ear while writing them down. "Could you also include something about them kids as well?"

"Thank you so much she'll love that." They ended the call mutually leaving Kyrie with other plans in mind. He sat behind his desk and tapped on IG immediately going to Aja's page.

She posted pictures of herself and castmates on set working hard but the thing that stood out to him was that James was in every last picture and video. Kyrie clenched his jaws continuing to scroll through the catalog of sexy photos Aja previously posted at the beach.

QueenAjaIrving: When he acting up show him, that you still that bitch.💅

The buzz from that very image got Kyrie's attention, he knew people were going to mention him. If Aja kept it up they'd be a hot topic on the Wendy Willaims show that was something that he nor Aja needed right now.

"I need to make this shit right for the sake of our marriage." Kyrie dialed up one of his close friends. "Hey, Chris, can you do me a favor? I need to know what room Aja's in, she forgot to let me know this morning." He nodded writing down the room number. 225. "Thanks, man, I appreciate it."

Water dripped from Aja's body as she came up from the pool, James motioned for her to join him as he sat on the edge. She swam to him in the sexiest manner that made him bit his bottom lip.

"You're not coming in with me," Aja asked after wiping the water from her eyes. "It'll be a lot more fun if you joined me, plus we're all alone." Sliding her hands to the band of his swimming trunks.

He grinned.

"I would love more than to fuck you snseless but we don't have time to play when money needs to be made, baby. Come on, and dry off."

Helping her from the pool, Aja took the towel and rolled her eyes.

"You never want to have fun, it's always the same bullshit Pharaoh! If it's about getting money or how many hoes I have to deal with because of your trifling ass then it doesn't matter, huh?" She snapped.

"Cocoa, I highly suggest you recognize who the fuck you talking to before I throw your goofy ass in that pool." He said placing on his shades.

Aja sucked her teeth and stared at James for a moment, she visualized that he was Kyrie and began attacking him. "You think I asked to live this lifestyle because I wanted to be draped in diamond and designer clothes, well guess what you can kiss my sweet ass goodbye!" The cameras captured each blowing she threw at him until they heard a clap of thunder.

"CUT! BEAUTIFUL JOB!" Chris shouted as everyone applauded. Aja took a breath with tears rolling down her face. Her emotions were all over the place lately.

As James looked up he saw Kyrie holding a bouquet of flowers, he waved for him to come over. Aja smelled the scent of Kyrie's cologne before he even reached her. She felt her emotions getting the best of her again. He grabbed her hand attempting to speak privately.

"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!" Aja snatched the flowers throwing them in the pool.

"Get this vulnerable moment between these two, this could be oscar worthy," Chris instructed as everyone hushed.

"Aja, I didn't fly all this way to fight and not in front of everyone that's unprofessional."

"Fuck this job and fuck you." He grabbed her waist as she tried to walk by him.

"Stop running away from me, the further you and I go the more miserable we both will be, we need to talk about this shit."

"Fine, I really hate myself for falling in love with you and it's a shame because I-I can't function knowing that our marriage is hanging by a thread. Yes, I admit, I aborted his baby because I know for a fact that for the rest of my life you would have been filled with resentment towards me and that baby. Yes, I kept in contact with him over the last two year because he's dying from colon cancer and Honestly, I just needed closure."

Kyrie wiped her falling tears and kissed her forehead. God, please don't let this woman kill me after I tell her this. He thought while wrapping his arms around her.

"When Kendall was born, I knew he was mine but there was still a little curiosity in the back of my mind," Aja stood back from his embrace.

"Kyrie, you tested my fucking son even after you knew he was yours!" Her blood boiled and heart pounded.

He continued though she was hurt. "I needed to know the truth and the possibility of him being Cam's kid scared me."

"Shut the fuck up, Kyrie! Because all of this is bullshit, you felt the need to go out of the way to get that DNA test because you thought I was cheating on you. I can't even look at you without wanting to slap you." Kyrie saw the heartbreak in her eyes crushing him to a million pieces.

"Is there anything else I need to know before you get back on that plane?" He shook his head quietly watching her collect her things.

"When I get to the house do me a favor and stay the fuck away from me," Aja added before storming off the set.
