After desert and Kah was put to bed Lola and Alicia watched tv I decided to take Tiana outside to talk to her. "Why you so guarded Te" she looked at me "Because I just don't trust people" I sat down and she next to me "So why you single Amereria" she said looking at me I laughed "Because the girl I want don't want me" she laughed "You agreed to be my friend" I nodded "That's true but I can't help the fact that talking to you all the time strengthened my feelings for you" she sighed "I'm being real tiana... why do you stay and he putting his hands on you" she sighed again I grabbed her chin "Tell me ma why" "Because he loves me ok he was there when I had no one else he was there when I miscarried our child he was there when my mom put me out soon as I hit 18 he was and nobody else" I wiped her tears "I bet Lola was" she nodded Yea "So why shut her out" she shrugged and said "Look I like you but I can't be with you I'm too much for you to handle I'm damaged goods Mere and you deserve better" I laughed and lifted her head "I know what I deserve and want and that's you" after I said that I planted a soft kiss on her lips she deepened it and I pulled away "Tell me you don't feel that tell me you don't feel me like I feel you" she shook her head "I do but I can't" I sighed "Its not that you cat it's that you won't Tiana just let me love you baby girl I don't give a fuck about ya man just let me in and I promise you won't regret it" she wiped her face and looked at me bring her face closer she gave me a soft kiss "Ok Mere" I smiled and pulled her closer. I meant everything I said I don't give a fuck about her man I know I can do her better. Her phone went off and she abruptly pulled it out looking at it she started to shake "Uh I gotta go I'll talk to you later" before I could stop her she was running in he house slipping on her she's while Lola did the same they left.

"So you and Tiana huh" I turned to see Kam smirking "She let me kiss her and said she would give me a chance I just hop she wasn't bull shiting" she nodded "I feel you but I'm bout to head up you staying" I nodded "Nah Imma gone get going bruh hit me up" she dapped me up let me out and closed the door. Hopping in my all white truck I peeled out making my way home unlike Kam I don't stay alone my gma stay with me she raised me and now that she's sick I'm taking care of her instead of having her in a hospital all uncomfortable I got her a live in nurse so she can be in the comfort of her own space. Pulling up to my two story home I parked in the driveway and got out walking up to the door and pulling out my keys I unlocked my door soon as I walked in I heard water from the kitchen walking in see the nurse "Good evening Rochelle how was she today" she turned smiling "Hey Amereria Ms. Rose was fine" I nodded "Alright well thanks for keeping an eye on her I'm going to check on her goodnight" "Goodnight" she said still smiling I might have to get a new nurse Rochelle is a young nurse who graduated top of her class but she flirts a lot. Going into grams room I sat on her bed beside kissing her cheek "Hey mama how you feeling" she coughed a little "Hey baby I'm fine how my other baby Alicia and Kah".

I smiled when mama met Alicia and Kah she fell in love with both of them "They good mama they coming to see you tomorrow" she smiled "Good cause I miss them did you have a good time" I nodded she smiled then started coughing again I handed her a cup of water "Well I just got in and I wanted to check on you go a head and get some rest mama" I kissed her forehead and walked out. Going to my room I stripped out my clothes and went to my bathroom to shower. After showering I came out in basketball shorts and a sports bra I was about to put on deodorant when my door opened "Oh my goodness I'm sorry I was knocking and you didn't answer I'm sorry I'll come back" Rochelle said rushing "You cool yu need something" she laughed "Um yea I was wondering if you or Ms. Rose needed anything else before I turned in" I thought for a minute "No were fine good night" she nodded closing my door and I just shook my head while mumbling girl know she ain't knock just trynna get a peek.
