Chris.
As Zonnique continued trying to wherever, I just starred out the window in deep thought. I couldn't help but occasionally glance her. She's the whole package honestly but I don't know if I'm one hundred percent ready. A part of me still wants to give Meghan another chance though she crossed the line. I can't tell Zonnique because she'll get all upset and shut me out her life once again. I can't risk losing my baby again. I sighed and unlocked my black iphone going to the notifications. I had countless messages from some floppies, then there was a new one from Meg. I hesitantly opened it up and began to read.
From Baby♥ - I'm sorry Chris, I was scared you'd leave me for her. I was wrong for touching your mail. I've done some thinking over the past month. I realized I can't live without you. Please come back home... ;/
Shit. I bit my lip nervously, thinking of a response. I don't even know what to say to her. Maybe I'll just stop by the house later or something. I slid my phone in my pocket looking back up. Zonnique parked the car in front of the zoo? No one was there though. I'm guessing she rented it out for a few hours or whatever.
"Ew why are we at the zoo?" Ariana asked scrunching up her nose. She's had an attitude ever since I got in the car. It's really bugging me. I didn't do anything to her.
"You used to love coming here!" Zonnique replied, confusion evident on her face.
"Key word, used to. I'm about to be eight years old mom! This is for little babies" she huffed.
"Why are you acting like such a brat right! Everything isn't always going to go your way dammit! Get your ass out the car and take five!" Zonnique scolded. My mouth dropped in utter shock.
Ariana's lip began to quiver and quickly scurried out the car, slamming it roughly. She ran down to the small lake and sat in the grass. Part of me felt some sympathy for her but she was acting kind of bratty.
"What does take five mean?"
"She needs to take five minutes by herself. I'm trying to break her out of this spoiled rich kid shit, it's not cute. August doesn't discipline her so she's a bit stuck up sometimes" Zonnique explained before getting out of the car. I nodded in understandment and hopped out as well.
I couldn't help but look over at Ariana. She's going down the wrong path already. Zonnique is hot tempered therefore she can't communicate without using profanity or losing her cool.
"Aye I'ma go check on Ariana if that's cool-"
"Go ahead" she waved me off before sighing.
I jogged down to the lake, and saw her playing with two dandelions. I sat next to her causing her to look up. Her eyes drooped back down realizing it was only me.
"Ari.."
"Chris"
"Ariana"
"Christopher"
I sighed and shook my head in disbelief. She acts exactly like her mother which is creepy.
"Why you mad at me though?"
"Because you hurt my mommy, and she cried all the time and she did bad things. I wanted her to be with my daddy but that's not gonna happen. Now she's with you" Ariana scoffed and rolled her eyes in frustration. I stayed quiet for a moment. A eight year old just hoed me though- okay.
Although I hurt Zonnique, it wasn't intentionally. I can't help that I'm torn between two women. I love Nique more than anything in this world literally. But I fell in love with Meghan in the process so I'm stuck right now.
"I didn't mean to hurt your mommy"
She huffed. "Boys are jerks"
"You're right they are babygirl" I replied with a suppressed laugh.

Zonnique
I watched from afar, Chris talking to my daughter. At first she looked frustrated until he began tickling her. I smiled hearing her laugh and giggle uncontrollably. He's such a good parent though that's not his child. It kind of reminds when Kaden was still here. Gosh I miss my kid. He doesn't come see me anymore but I know he's watching. Sometimes at night i'd pray for him to come but he never shows up. I think that's a sign. He told me Chris and I had to be together so hopefully it lasts. Ten minutes later Ariana was on Chris' bed while he ran up the hill. Suddenly my phone buzzed indicating that I had text message. It was August.
Aug♥× Lol Ari told you huh? :)
To Aug♥× you already know man. thanks for the song, I really love it Auggieeeee ;*
Aug♥× np beautiful. talk to you later, I'm working.
I smiled and locked my phone as Chris approached me. He allowed her to get off his back.
"Mom can I go to the playground?" Ariana asked.
"Yes but don't wander off anywhere girl"
"I know!" she said before running off.
That left Chris and I alone. He grabbed my hand lacing out fingers together. I blushed unintentionally and moved some of my curls away from my eyes. We began walking near the panda exhibit which was always my fave. I watched the mother panda cuddle her baby. It reminded me of myself and Ariana. She's my biggest headache but that's my baby.
"You're cute" Chris said out of nowhere causing me to bust out laughing.
"Where'd that come from?"
"I don't know, I wasn't gonna tell you because you're too cocky" he teased.
I gasped and playfully slapped his chest. He's definitely the cocky one of anything. "I'm just confident that's the difference boo!"
"Yeah whatever" he rolled his eyes and leaned down to kiss me but I turned my head away. His eyebrows furrowed up in confusion. "I can't kiss you now?"
"No we're starting out slow Christopher. No sex, no kisses, and no touching" I quipped with a grin over my lips. Although I'm going through terrible dick withdrawal, we have to set boundaries.
Chris sucked his teeth. "Aw hell naw! I am a man Zonnique, what you except me to do?"
"Better go buy a supply of lotion" I laughed hysterically covering my mouth.
"Nah I got a couple hoes in the contacts anyways" he said nonchalantly with a chuckle.
I starred at him blankly, blinking a couple times.
"I'm just playing-"
"You always do this to me! Go away" I screamed and snatched away from him. I began fake crying, covering my face. Chris is so gullible man.
He hurried over to me and wrapped his arms around my body completely. Sucker. "Baby I'm so sorry.." he whispered in my ear. It took everything in me not to laugh. I think I'll keep this joke going for awhile.
