"Y/N, I need you to know that I love you. More than anyone in this world, I promise," he said, taking your hands in his, trying to meet your eyes.
"That might be true, Daveed, but your supposed to love your child more than you love me. So, I don't think I can do this anymore. I'm sorry."
The next day.
Knock, knock.
You slowly rose from your bed and glanced over at the clock. 4:17am. Who could possibly be at your door this early in the morning.
After rubbing your eyes, you stare at the ceiling and the things surrounding you that aren't as familiar as they used to be because its been so long. You take soft steps toward the door to answer it.
Suddenly, a pair of arms embrace you before you can even blink. "Y/N! I've missed you!" It was Amberlyn and Tiffany.
"Shh. Lyn, keep you're voice down. Do you know what time it is?", Tiffany scolded.
"Sorry," she whispered.
"What are you doing here?", you asked, continuing to rubs your eyes.
"I was reading your text about all that happened with Daveed and Lyn was looking over my shoulder and forced to get on the next weekend flight out," she explained.
"You shouldn't be alone right now. This is big news," Amber added. "So...are you going to let us in?"
"Oh, right," you replied, opening the door for you're guests.
The three of you make your way to the kitchen and you grab two mugs from the cabinet. "Coffee, Tiff?"
"Yes please," she replied with a grin.
"Can I have coffee, t-"
"No!" You both clapped back at your little sister, immediately. You all knew how she would act with caffeine in her system, especially at this hour.
"So, what are you going to do?"
You shrugged your shoulders with a thoughtless expression on your face in response.
"What do you mean?", Amber chimed in. "You're going to see him again, right ? Because I think you should."
You look over at Tiffany expecting her to back you up but she didn't give the effort you were looking for. "I'm with the 15-year-old love doctor on this one. You can't end everything. I've never seen you so happy," Tiff claimed.
"What do you expect me to do?! I can't just tell him i want to get back together when he's still legally married and has a baby!"
"Why not?", Tiff asked, annoyed.
"Because it's wrong. What if he-"
Knock, knock.
"Who could possibly be at my house right now?! I should be in bed,"you say, running you hands through your hair.
"Don't worry, I got it. Stop complaining," Tiff said, setting her cup of coffee on the side farthest from Amberlyn.
"Hey, you should go to bed soon," you tell your sister.
Instead of responding, she just looks at you in disbelief. "What? Go, right now."
"Fine. I'm going. I'm going," Amber answers, grabbing an apple on her way out.
As she leaves, Tiffany lets in who was at the door. "Look who's here!"
You take a quick sip from you cup before looking up. "Daveed, What are you doing here? It's-"
"Y/N, before you say anything, just hear me out, please," he pleads as he moves closer to you.
"I really don't want to talk to you right now." He tries to take your hand but you pull away, trying not to make eye contact.
"I know. That's why I'm saying just listen." He was trying to meet your eyes, but you were relentless.
"I'm getting slightly tired, too. I think I'm going to join Lyn. Okay?"
You dismissed Tiffany with specific eyebrow movements and she took her coffee with her.
"I love you, Y/N. With all of my heart. I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted to keep you as far away from who I used to be as possible. I didn't think-"
"What?" You finally spoke. "You didnt think that I would find out?! You didn't think I would be upset?!"
"I didn't think Vanessa would come back..", he confessed.
"Well, I'm sorry that she was tired of being a single parent," you said, crossing your arms.
"Why do you care so much about her-"
"I don't care about her, Daveed! I care about you," you yelled. "This entire time, everything I've done, I've done for you. Because I love you. And then you go and pull something like this?!"
"You're right. I should've told you. But would you have dated me if I told you I'm still married?"
"No! Thats the point! You're supposed to be married. To Vanessa! Not waisting your time with me." Daveed followed after you as you stormed out of the kitchen into the living room because you couldn't let him see you cry.
"Hey," he called, turning you around to face him, "I'm not waisting my time. Every moment with you has been amazing. I want to make this right. Whatever it takes to be with you, I want to do it."
You finally looked into his eyes. "Really?"
"Yes. I can talk to Vanessa and we can get everything sorted out. I can get a divorce and talk the court about custody and I can-
Your sealed his lips with a kiss, interrupting his sentence. When he realized what was happening he kissed you even harder. He cupped your cheeks and wiped your tears with his thumb.
"You had me at "I love you",you laughed, "Come on. Let's go." You take his hand in yours and start to lead him up the stairs.
As you are about to turn the corner, you see Tiffany with a cheesy smile painted on her face and Amberlyn with her hands over eyes.
"Please tell me you two weren't eavesdropping..." you say, rubbing your temple.
Tiff immediately bolted up the staircase leaving Lyn to explain. "Um, we were just-"
"Bed."
"Okay," she replied hanging her head as you all made your way to your rooms.
A/N: More soon🌹
