"What happened to you comin over?" Gavin said, through the phone. We've been spending a lot of time together, mainly because he's been stressing about the kids & their mothers.

"I was cleaning up." I told him. "I had Dig clean Jetter's room, then Dominique came over."

"You actually went in?" He chuckled.

"Not a chance in hell!" I scuffed. "But surprisingly, Niq did..."

"Really....?" He said, hella surprised.

"I know. I was just as surprised as you are."

"Prolly cause Dig was in there."

"You already know!" I giggled, then I paused.

I've been thinking about us lately, me and Gavin. Us being together, him loving me like I love him, us getting married and having kids. The twins & Amandla could've been mine & Jetter could've been his, if he'd just see me for more than the little clumsy and babbling girl he met in Kindergarten. And I've been in love with him ever since.

"Do you hate me?" I asked, cutting him off to whatever he was saying. He kinda laughed.

"What?" He chuckled. "Vera, don't be ridiculous. You're my bestfriend."

"YoU'rE mY bEsTfRiEnD." I scuffed to myself. "Is that all you see me as?"

"C'mon Vera, please not today."

"I'm serious Gavin!" I sighed, trying to ignore the tear running down my cheek. "What do they have that I don't? You constantly complaining about all these hoes you hook up with & all your bitch ass baby mamas, but you steady fuckin them." I clenched my jaw. "Aren't I enough? I'm sure I have way more to offer you than any of them do."

"I'm not good for you Vera." He told me. "Even if I did wanna cross that line with you, I couldn't. I could never be the reason that you ain't happy. I'd settle with not being with you, then to corrupt you."

"I'm already unhappy. If you don't love me the same way, just say that." I spat. He sighed.

"I gotta go. Monica's dropping off the twins." He said, causing me to scuff. "You know how she feels about me being on the phone when I got 'em." Then he hung up. I screamed, throwing my phone across the room.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

"Liyah c'mon!" I sighed, looking all over the living room & kitchen for her. "If Niq find out I lost you, she gon kill my ass.." I heard her giggling. "Liyah please." I sighed, then my phone rang. "Yo?" I sighed into the phone.

"Sounds like you're having fun." Niq giggled.

"I made the mistake of playing hide-n-seek with your child!" I groaned. "Little monster is just as competitive as you are."

"I NOT A MONSTOR!!" Aaliyah squeaked, climbing out of the island cabinet. I smiled as she pouted up at me. Damn...looking like her mama & her cousin.

"Of course you are, just like ya mama." I smirked.

"I AM NOT!!" They both screamed at me. I chuckled.
