Exchange (Sequel)

°Chapter 3

Well I've basically moved in with Lamia and Tyler. She wants me to stay in Phoenix with her.

So, they have this little guest house that's now me and Armani home. I told her I'll pay rent, but she said.

"Girl if I accept that I wouldn't be a good best friend. Let this be a gift of friendship."

All I could do was smile and hug her. Tyler was off this week he had no games. So, we sold my house and have moved majority of my things down.

He's just grabbing a few more things.

"Baby this is your new home," I told Armani. "And, I hope you enjoy every little bit of it Prince."

I always call him Prince because I'm still waiting on my King. But, this Queen might have to wait her look out for eternity.

"Tay," he left my side and went to play with his toys.

I'll never get tired of his baby talk, because sooner or later he'll be trying to "hang with friend's" or I'll be meeting his girlfriend.

Lord knows I'm not ready for my only baby to grow. Just not at this moment.

"Lia we have to find you a man." Her friend pleaded to her for the umpteenth time.

"I don't need a man Mia. My child is my man."

"Well, eww that's weird."

"Girl you know what I mean," they both shared a laugh.

"Yeah. But, seriously Lia these Phoenix guys are nothing like the guys back home or like the unknown person who shall not be named."

"Okay... Your point?"

"Live a little. Ty does not have to work this week. His team has no games. Did I mention he doesn't have to work?"

She shook her head in response letting out a giggle. "So, he can watch Tj, Tyla, and Mani while we find you a man. He will not mind at all."

Tyler came around the corner falling not to far behind messy kids. "He won't mind what? And who is he?"

"By he I'm talking about you bae. And, you won't mind if me and Lia go out and find us a bae."

"What you just say?"

"I meant her a new bae," she walked over to him and kissed his lips. "I was only playing."

Tyla came and stopped their lovey dovey fest. She does not like when people specifically women all upon her father.

"You know he was my daddy before he was yours," she told her young daughter who then started to cry.

"Awnn come here. Mommies sorry," Tyler soothed his daughter. "I won't be her daddy for a week I promise." He pinky sweared her.

She walked off and went to find Tj and Armani. "Now why you lie like that? You can not go a week without me calling you daddy."

"I know. And, stop bullying my baby before I kill you. Now to you Elia I will not mind watching the kids. Just make sure I won't have to kill that women when you guys come home."

"Will do sir." She smiled. Elia knew she wasn't up for a fling. Especially since she has a child that just turned one years old.

But, its been a year since she last had sex and even thought of a man more than just a friend. Why not? You only live once (YOLO)

"Oh--- what about him?" Lamia pointed to this freakishly tall guy.

"No, Lamia. We're trying to find someone good for me. He's not my taste." She told her friend.

"Well, excuse me for trying to be a good fairy godmother to you. How about we find you a one night stand. Sounds good?"

"Girl no," she laughed. "What do you think this is?"

"Well I believe you have cobwebs between your legs. Just find someone no strings attached and get laid."

"Lamia you're not helping your case. I rather sit at home then come to this club FYI."

"And, you're no fun. I'm going to the ladies room." She got up and walked away.

Elia sat and waited for her friend to return. When she did she was acting weird.

"I think I found a handsome gentleman for you."

He walked up and Elia did find him attractive. He was tall, nice hair, light and had beautiful eyes.

"Hi I'm Armin, but my friends call me Min." He kissed her hand.

"And, I'll leave now. That's my cue."

"Wait where are you going?"

"I'm going home to my man. You got this from here Elia."

She left her with the stranger.

"So-- your name is Elia?"

"Yeah that seems so."

"Well, can I get you a drink?"

"Yeah some Henny."

Elia knew this would be a long night. Would her and Armin hit it off? Or would it be like every relationship or fling that she's came across in her relationship
