"Oh, now why you gotta go and come climb on top of me, babe ?"

"Hey Zion....."

I walk inside Zion's room and he closes the door. I know I shouldn't be here in his room but I have to clear this up. I sit on his bed. "What's wrong ? Why'd you come in here ?", he asked me. "I gotta talk to you.", I tell him. "Is it about Elom ?", he asked me. I nod my head and start fiddling with my fingers. "You breaking up with him ?", he asked me. "Hell no.", I say calmly.

"I wanna talk to you about him. He thinks you still like me.", I say rolling my eyes. Zion chuckles and sits down next to me. "So this is what he's been going crazy about ?", Zion asked through his laughs. "PrettyMuch.", I say chuckling. "I just wanted you to know that. Cause we had another argument and he uhh....went crazy rude on me."

"What you mean ?", Zion asked me. I sigh. I didn't really want to talk about it, but I know I was going to. "He called me a hoe.", I say. Zion was quiet. I look up at him and he was just shaking his head. "He was just mad. You know he ain't mean it.", Zion reassures me. "I don't care if he meant it or not. It hurt.", I say getting up from the bed. Zion comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist.

Now I know what Elom meant by he couldn't trust Zion. "It'll be ok Jada.", Zion says softly in my ear. I turn around to face him. "Thanks Z. Just talk to him alright ? I don't want him to think you like me.", I say. Zion just stares at me. He started to lean in towards my lips. Before he could reach my lips, I pushed him away. "What are you doing ?", I ask him. "I'm sorry Jada, I got caught up. Forget it.", Zion said turning away. Damn it. I didn't want him to still be feeling me.

"Zion, you can't like me. I'm with your brother. I'm in love with your brother !", I say. "I know Jada I know and I'm sorry. Listen, I'll talk to Elom and hopefully we'll have an understanding.", Zion said giving me a small smile. I smile and nod back and walk towards me and Elom's room. I slowly open the door and close it once I'm in. I slowly get in bed next to him but I made sure I wasn't close to him.

I didn't want to be close to him. If I fell out of the bed then oh well. I lay down and try to fall asleep. Elom rolled over and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Elom please d–", I try to speak but he cuts me off. "Jada I love you.", he said softly. I closed my eyes, hoping he meant it. "I'm sorry for what I said. You know you not a hoe and I certainly don't think of you as one."

"Why would you say that to me Elom ?", I ask him softly. It honestly hurt. Guys are quick to label a girl something bad for anything they do and it's real shitty. "I was just angry babe. Listen, I heard you and Zion talking in the room. I'm sorry for being so over protective of you.", Elom said. I turned around to face him. "I forgive you.", I tell him. He pulls me closer and kisses my nose. "And I'm sorry for not letting you talk to Zion."

I smile and kiss his lips. I cuddle into his chest as he played in my hair. "I love you Jada.", he says. "I love you too.", I reply. I do love Elom, with all of my heart and that's not going to change for a while. This Christmas break is going to be popping !

"Put em in a coffin !", Zion yelled at my camera phone. We all were just playing around out in the backyard while my mom and Ms. Mandy went shopping. It's been some weeks of Christmas break and things have been fun. Tommy ran and tackled Zion to the ground and they wrestled while all of us cheered. I started to get a little hot so I went inside to get some water and rested on the couch.

I heard someone else come in and sit next to me. It was Elom. "You ok baby ?", he asked me while he laid his head on my lap. "Yea. I just got hot and needed a drink.", I told him. I took a sip of my water. "Jada if we have a son, can we name him Patrick ?", Elom asked. I almost choked on my water. "After your middle name ?", I say. He nods and smiles. I sip my water again and smile at him.

"Sure.", I say blushing. "I could see you walking around with a baby in yo tummy.", Elom said kissing my belly. "Oh stop it.", I say. Elom starts to tickle me so hard I drop my water. Everybody started to come back in the house. I pushed Elom off and he kissed my cheek. "Who made the mess man ?", Nick asked. I shrugged. "Are you gonna clean it up ?", Nick asked me. "I ain't make that mess.", I say laughing. Nick rolls his eyes and starts cleaning up the spilled water.

"Shit.", I hear Elom say under his breath as he checks his phone. Elom looks at Zion and winks at him. Zion gets up and grabs the car keys. Elom kisses my cheek. "I gotta go bae. I'll be back later.", he said. "Where you going ?", I asked him. "No where. I'll be back.", he said. I didn't want him to leave but I knew how to make him stay. I climb on top of him. "Now why you gotta do that Jada ?"

"Baby don't go.", I say softly. He hesitates for a minute. "Elom we gotta go !", Zion yells at the door. Elom throws me off and runs towards the door. "Wait ! If you not going no where then why y–", I try to say. "Byeeeee !", Zion and Elom yelled while running out the front door. I wonder what those two are up to.

After about three hours, Elom and Zion had finally came back. It was late so I was in the tub. Elom came in the bathroom where I was. He scared the shit out of me. "Bae I gotta a surprise for you !", he said happily. "Can it wait ? I'm in the tub.", I tell him. "Yea but hurry. Come in the living as soon as you get out.", he tells me. I nod my head and Elom leaves.

I hurry up and get out of the tub. I'm all clean and smelling nice. I put on my clothes and put a towel on my head. I walk downstairs and see everybody sitting around. "What's going on ?", I ask. "Elom recorded a song.", Jacob said. I looked at Elom who was smirking. There was a chair in front of him. Edwin came up behind me and picked me up. He placed me in the chair. Elom pressed play and the music started.

"Cause I'm a midnight rider. Flow away with me. And baby you can come through just don't play with me.", Elom sings with the music. I move my head to the music. The song is good so far. "Loving your lips that I'm kissing.", Elom sang while coming close to my face. I was blushing. Elom wrote a song about me. We all clapped and cheered when the song was over. I got up and wrapped my arms around Elom's neck.

"Did you like it ?", he asked me shyly. "Baby I loved it.", I tell him while kissing his lips. That long time he was gone, he was recording a song about me. Apparently Zion helped him. I'm glad those two made up. Thanks to Elom, this Christmas break has been the best it's ever been. The whole family is together and everyone is happy.
