41~Old frenemies

16 MONTHES LATER

Dylan's POV

"Repeat after me: my daddy is stupid and auntie Bex is smart," Rebecca says to the baby. I look up from the computer and shake my head. Rebecca sits criss-cross applesauce on the floor while holding one of Ben's hands. He laughs every time Rebecca says something shaking his sippy cup.

"Stop lying to the child," I tell Rebecca getting tired of her saying the same thing over and over again.

"I'm not, you know you're stupid," she says all knowingly.

"I know I am, but you're not smart," I joke.

"Shut up," she says sticking her tongue out. Ben giggles sticking his tongue out also. He drops his sippy cup on the floor reaching out his chubby hands pulling Rebecca's hair. "Ow," Rebecca says pulling away. I chuckle pretending I didn't see anything, lord knows I go through hell with him pulling my hair all the time. Rebecca gets off the floor picking him up, "I have to go," she says handing him to me. I take him putting him sit beside me. He sees my laptop and immediately starts playing with the keys. "You're watching him tonight?" Bex asks getting her stuff.

"No, his mom should be here any minute now," I say looking at the time on my phone.

"K, I'll see you tomorrow," she tells me, "bye Benny," she says waving him goodbye.

He looks up smilling doing the same thing with his little hands. He watches as Rebecca exits the room closing the door. He stares at the door for a few seconds then goes back to hitting the keys on the laptop. "Thank you," I say sarcastically taking the laptop from him and closing it. He stares at me, anger written all over his face. "Your mom gets mad when she doesn't have her way too," I tell him. He is so much like his mother, all the little flaws, and all the perfections.

He glares at me with the same light eyes as his mother, he then rests his head on my legs starting to make little noises.

I look at the time once again, "your mom's late," I say. I chuckle to myself, I am speaking to a nine-month-old baby like he understands what I am saying to him. I pass my hands through his light brown hair curly hair. Slowly, he stops making noises falling asleep.

My phone rings, I look at the caller ID to see that it is Veronica, I suck my teeth, I answer the phone regardless. If I do not, she will not stop calling me. "What's up?" I ask putting up the phone to my ear.

"Come to the club tonight," she says.

"I'm busy," I tell her.

"With what?"

"I have my son tonight, I'll try to come by later," I tell her. I've been home all the day and it would be nice to step out.

"K," she says hanging up the phone. Just when I am setting my phone down, the doorbell rings, finally. I take Ben from my legs and carry him on my shoulders walking to the door.

"I'm so sorry I'm late, there was just so much traffic," Marie-Anne says when I open the door. "Hey buddy," she says touching his hair and kissing his forehead. I stare at her looking up and down. She had let her hair grow out, her wild hair is down making her hair fall down all through her face. I immediately turned around when I realized I was staring at her.

She is still in her work clothes looking tired as usual. I nod my head not saying anything, she comes in taking Ben's toys and other things putting them in his diaper bag. I grab my keys deciding to step out also when she was done grabbing everything, I open the front door and we head out.

She opens the car door and I put him down in his baby car seat buckling him up. He stretches his body a little but still doesn't wake up. After making sure he was secure, I kiss him goodnight closing the car door. "Dylan, I know Saturdays are my days, but I have something important to do tomorrow, would you mind taking him?" She asks me.

"Sure, I'll pick him up in the morning," I say walking to my car.

"Thanks," she says. I open my door but do not get in. I watch as she gets inside her car driving away, I stand there by the door a few minutes passing my hand through my hair.

"Hey Argent," the guard says at the club as I pass through.

"Hey man," I say patting him on the back. I glide myself through the noisy crowd to the bar, "hey, where's Veronica?" I ask the bartender taking a seat on one of the stools.

"Ms. Veronica is in her office, the bartender, Joey, says in a joking manner. I chuckle, Veronica is his boss, but he's never called her Ms. before.

He slides me a drink, I look at it, I lift it up to drink it, but put it back. I sigh and slide it back to him.

"No thank you," I say. I have to pick up Ben in the morning and I know if I drink I won't be able to. Not only will I have a massive headache, but I'll basically be driving drunk. It's funny how being a parent forces you to be responsible. "I'll see you later," I tell Joey, I take the stairs to the office areas opening Veronica's office door.

She stares out the window looking at the people dancing and making bad life choices below. "Does them calling you Ms. Veronica make you feel in power?" I ask her in a whisper behind her ears.

She flinches at the sound of my voice, "maybe," she replies. Her blonde hair is in a bun, so I pull it apart, her long hair falls down her back. "Dylan," she whines turning to face me. I stare at her big blue eyes, a frown is on her face.

"You should smile more," I joke touching her cheeks to turn her frown upside down.

"Dylan, you never tell a woman to smile more," she says kicking my leg playfully.

"Not when she looks ugly when she doesn't," I say sarcastically. Of course, I am only playing around with her, she's actually really pretty. Her round baby face which makes no one respect her makes her look even prettier.

She puts up her middle finger near my eyes, I grab her finger, "oh," she says pulling them away. "I'm going to put your name in the bully box," she says doing a puppy face.

"You have a bully box?" I ask her.

"I do now," she says. She takes her hair again putting it up in a messy bun, I wait for her to finish and take it down. "Dylan," she whines once more.

I close the small space that is still between us, pressing her body against the glass. She has a button-up blouse on, I slowly undo the buttons one after the other...
