Rico's pov

I was laying on the couch with Mia on my shoulder. She was cuddled under the big grey fluffy blanket. We were watching some show that was playing re runs. Mia was actually asleep and I had the volume down low.

It was kind of weird to be living in ash's apartment when he wasn't here with his girlfriend but he told me to watch over her and that exactly what I've been doing. I haven't slept with her or anything yet I kinda learned my lesson with Jake. I don't wanna be that kinda guy who takes your boys girl cuz ash and I have gotten kinda close.

Their was a knock on the door that interrupted the tv. I looked at the clock not knowing who could be here at this hour. It was literally the middle of the night. I got off the couch and went over the door opening it carefully not to wake Mia.

"Hey" she smiled

I really couldn't believe my eyes. Grace was standing here in front of me pregnant as hell holding Nevaeh who was asleep. Why was she even here? How did she even know where to find me.

"What's up?" I asked awkwardly

Grace and I kinda ended on bad terms. We broke up after I cheated on her and she kinda ran away with Nevaeh and never came back until now. I was kinda concerned that baby inside her was mine.

"I need to talk to you" She said

"Alright come inside" I said

I walked her to my bedroom and closed the door. She laid Nevaeh on my bed and walked around clearly dazed and confused.

"What's wrong? Your kinda scaring me" I asked

"Did you know Jake has another wife and kid"

When she said that my head flashed back to when Jake drove us to Lillian's house. He explained the whole story to me when we went out their how Brooklyn was his baby and he was already married.

"Uh yeah" I admitted

It didn't matter now because Jake was dead and all these secrets were finally coming out.

"Why didn't you ever tell me?" She said her eyes glossed over

"Because it wasn't my shit to tell. You know how gang code is"

"Your not in a gang no more" She hissed

"I know Grace things are different now I live another life since you left"

"Since I left? Are you serious. Your the one who went and cheated on me"

"We did a bad thing Grace. We fucked over Jake and he will never get to know"

"I realize that too Rico. I just found all this shit out and I will never get to talk to him about him cheating on me"

"What does it matter now? You cheated on Jake with me what's your point?"

"My point is why do you feel so bad if he cheated on me?" She frowned

"Cuz I shoulda never done that to him!" I hissed

"Well you shoulda thought of that before you stuck your tongue down my throat"

"It wasn't all me" I smirked

"You know I didn't think you were gonna be so much of an asshole Rico"

"Well we didn't end on good terms"

"Because you cheated on me"

"And you walked away! I was falling in love with you. I really wanted to be with you and I didn't care about Jake and then he got sick and things got hard and now your standing here months later after his death telling me that what you were fucked over?"

"Yes I was because Jake cheated on me my husband did and then you did. I was leaning on your for support and I was trying to transition off of Jake into you I was scared"

"Well their was nothing to be scared about Grace. I wanted to have a family with you and be with you. I thought you wanted me but then you just vanished"

"Because you cheated on me! I don't play that"

"We played Jake like that though"

"Rico please. I'm still living at your aunts house. Did you know she died a couple months ago? I tried getting in touch with you"

"Shit she died" I said shocked

She nodded.

"Fuck. I don't know what to tell you Grace what do you want? A place to stay?" I asked

"I don't know what I want. I honestly am lost. This is so hard and I'm still grieving over Jake" she said her voice cracking

I felt bad I did. This girl was like family to me. She is family actually. Her kids are my cousins. I love them and I love Jake. I had a girl I was in a happy relationship I've been in for a couple months and she just comes back here thinking I'm still in love with her or something or that I'm gonna wait for her.

"Rico please don't kick me out. I miss you" She said quietly

Thoughts were running through my head. I didn't wanna mess up this relationship I had going on. She was standing in front of me basically begging me to be in her life so she's not alone. I thought about kissing those sweet lips and I got closer. Her baby bump was in the way of us getting any closer.

"Listen I wanna let you stay here but this isn't my house if you wanna stay here your gonna have to talk to Ash"

"I'm not here for ash" she said wrapping her arms around my neck

"C'mon grace" I groaned knowing it was hard to resist

"I miss you Rico"

"No you don't. You miss being in a relationship" I corrected

She rolled her eyes and got closer to me slowly going in to kiss me. I didn't know what I wanted to do so I let her do what she wanted and as soon as she touched my lips I kissed her back.
