MUST BE LOVE

Chapter 32

Shaye's POV

I left Ashley & MaKaiah at my house to met Jay at this nice restaurant McCormick & Schmick's. Of course I've been there before even though Mike is a cheater he still took me places & did nice things surprisingly.

"Hello beautiful," Jay said pulling my chair out for me

"Hey & thanks," I said sitting down. " So this is really nice. I thought you needed reservations for here," I said crossing my legs cause my shirt was kind of short

"You do but I got connections so I don't need them," he said. If I had a dime for every time I heard that line lol

"Oh," I said then looked at the menu. We ordered food & he got a bottle of wine too. I hope he's not trying to get me drunk, but the food came about 15 minutes later

"So Shaye tell me about yourself," he said cutting his steak

"Well born & bread in Atlanta. I'm 22 my birthday is November 17. I have a 3 month old daughter & no I'm not with her father. I just graduated from CAU. I love to have a good time. Now tell me about yourself," I said eating my pasta

"Alright, I'm 24. My birthday is March 23. I have a 5 year old daughter named Kassidy who is my world. I was born in Memphis, raised in here in Atlanta. I too like to have a good time. If you don't mind me asking why did you & your baby father break-up cause your daughter is so young," he asked me off top

"No I don't mind, but he supposedly got another girl pregnant while I was. So I had to end it with him cause that wasn't the first time he did something like that," I said honestly

"Damn, I know I might not be all that, but I would never cheat on a beautiful woman like you," he said sipping his wine & I blushed

"He said the same thing, but did otherwise. But its all good. You're supposed to learn from your mistakes. I got my beautiful daughter out of the deal that I wouldn't trade for the world," I said proud of my baby

"True, that's what I live by. You gotta learn so you don't fuck up again," he said

We talked & ate. Then he paid the bill and we went to walk in the park

"Its beautiful out here tonight. I love nights in Atlanta," I said looking at the sky

"Me too, especially when you have a beautiful girl beside you," Jay said wrapping his arms around me

We were looking at each other for a minute. Until he leaned & kissed me. I fail for it cause once again I am very vulnerable. But he soon broke it

"I'm sorry, its just your lips looked very kissable," he said after he broke the kiss

"It's fine, but look I think its time for me to head back home cause I left my daughter with my little sister," I said

"Cool, I'll walk you back to your car. Maybe we can go out again sometime," he said

"Sure, you have my number, don't be scared to use it," I told him

He walked me back to my car & he stayed there until I pulled out the parking lot. I was smiling all the way home. I know its still early & I'm still vulnerable like I said from the breakup with Mike, but I think I'm going to like Jay. Once I looked at my phone to call Ashley to check on Kai. I seen a bunch of calls from Mike, but I wasn't even bought to call him back to kill my vibe

Mike's POV

Once everything was cool back with Chris fam we left back out & got back to Atlanta late as hell. I had him drop me off to my mama house to get my car, but I needed to go check up on Shaye cause she ain't answered my calls all night. So I went to her apartment
