Aries Parker.

" Hey Stranger! you coming to my bridal shower this weekend ?" Keyana said handing me my strawberry milkshake . She had a tendency of buying two of these so she can give me one every morning before we open the shop .

" It's this weekend! ? " i asked she stale faced me .

" Don't play with me girl" she said pointing at me. i laughed as i flipped her the bird .

" I'm playing , why would i not come ? Oh and i been meaning to ask you , can i come with Kai and Lex , you know nobody takes care of them besides me " i said , she sighed .

" It's okay , i thought you would have a nanny by now " she walked around the counter .

" what nanny ? You know i can't even afford to buy myself clothes because already i got bills to pay and two kids to feed and put clothing on their backs . A nanny is just too much , i can't afford that " i shook my head as i took a sip from the milkshake , the sweetness opened my appetite .

" You can bring them , they'll play with my brothers kids " she said tidying up her side of the counter .

" Thank you . How was your day off yesterday ?" I asked , she shrugged .

" didn't do much , i went to the gym with Marvin and we bumped into his ex it got me mad so i stayed almost the whole day in bed seeking for attention " she shrugged .

" You got the attention ?"

" yeah eventually did , i got good sex as well " she said sticking her tongue out sexually . I laughed " Girl bye . " i said grabbing the keys as i went to change the closed board sign to Open and i unlocked the doors just in time for my boss to walk in .

" It's almost 8 and yall haven't set up the tables yet " he dramatically said .

" we didn't have a theme today but i was waiting on you to send me the new themes " Keyana said picking up her note pad and pen .

" well come on then , i got clients this morning " My boss said disappearing into his office as Keyana followed behind him . I took the last few minutes i had to finnish the delicious ass milkshake as my mind kept on drifting to Tall idiot. He's not as bad as i thought, i could use a little help from a hot Psychologist right ? I'm not looking for anything though , i just enjoy his company, he's funny and quite a great guy . I misjudged him. I noticed I've always had this wall around me , blocking people . I needed to let loose , the universe doesn't bring people to you for no reason and Don , Don is too much in my space but he's fine ! I guess this is how crushing on someone feels like ? Never got to like someone from a distance and now that it's happening it just brings butterflies in my stomach thinking of him though it hurts feeling like I'll be neglecting my love for August , watching from up above how would he feel knowing this is how i use the love i promised to love him with ? But that very same love that i couldn't give him , I'm giving it to my kids that should count.

We got to talk more yesterday while we watched the kids play , he told me about his previous relationship but he didn't really tell me why he eventually settled for a divorce, his ex wife sounds like a great woman and Don is sure damn a great man as well . So what might have pushed them to the edge ?

I admired the way he respects women , his way of caring is effortless , like he doesn't have to try hard when it comes to his gentleness, I'm starting to think he was born gentle .

Surprisingly we exchanged numbers, as shocked as i was i actually didn't regret doing so as well . He told me he would come around again when he's not caught up with too much work . Honestly , these little feelings i have developed for Don are exactly the same feelings i developed for August back then . This is exactly how i felt for August and it hurts because i only shared this feeling with him and him only . Now here i am , sharing the feeling i shared with him with someone else i barely knew .  Shame on you Aries.
