"You need help?" I asked Sydney.

"No but thanks for asking" she said not even looking my way. I walked back into the living room to see Jayceon in his bouncer, sleeping.

I picked him up and sat down on the couch, laying him on my chest.

I can't believe Sydney gave me another chance to be with her. I honestly thought it was going to be world war 3 up in here.

I know I said this before but I'm going to do right by her and my son. The decisions I make now don't just affect us but my son also.

"D can u get that please?" Sydney yelled when the doorbell rang. I got up and opened the door to see Hakeem and a girl with him. She was about 5'7, brown hair just below her shoulders, and a nose piercing. She looks mixed with something.

"Wassup Damian, this Stephanie, my girlfriend" Hakeem said. I dapped Hakeem and kind of hugged Stephanie.

"Oh he's so cute. Can I hold him please?"

I nodded and passed Jayceon to her then led them to the dining room where Sydney was just finished setting up the table.

Hakeem hugged Sydney "Syd this Stephanie, my girlfriend. Stephanie, this Sydney, my best friend"

"It's nice to meet you" Stephanie said putting her hand out. Sydney smiled and shook it. I took Jayceon and put him upstairs then we all sat down at the table.

It was quiet for awhile then Sydney spoke up "Ok Stephanie, Hakeem is my nigga ok? If I come across as a bitch, I aplogize but I'm making sure you right for him"

"I understand"

"Ok so where did y'all meet?" Sydney asked, starting her interrogation. Hakeem and I locked eyes and both shook our heads.

"I was walking past him while he was playing basketball with his friends and I guess he saw me. So he followed me to my car and asked for my number"

"How old are you?"

"20" Stephanie answered.

"What's your nationality? "

"Fully black"

"Forreal? Girl you got some good hair" Sydney smiled.

"Thank u. Everyone can have hair like this for 189.99" she said. Sydney and Stephanie bust out laughing while Hakeem and I just watched.

"You got a job?" Sydney asked. Stephanie nodded. "Where?"

"I work in 2 different salons and go to school. I want to become C.E.O of a company on day" Stephanie smiled.

"I like you" Sydney said. The girls smiled at each other. "So how do you feel about Keemy?"

"He's a really sweet guy. He's funny as hell and he's sexy too." they laughed "But um, he knows how to treat me good . He ain't like these other niggas out here. He's different"

"Aww that's so sweet" Sydney cooed. "Ok now speed round. Tell me everything you know about him in 30 seconds"

Stephanie nodded, setting her fork down and folding her hands in her lap.

"Go"

"His favorite color is green, he has a pitbull named teddy, he is in love with all things Jordan's, he used to work in the drug game, his birthday is April 7, he wants 3 kids, he loves chocolate, he learned to cook from his mom, he is in school on a full basketball scholarship, and he isn't the type to tell you things. He likes when you figure them out"
