Her feather like curls ticketed the side of my neck as I thought deeply. Her thumb secured in between her tanned pink lips. A bright colored cartoon played along the TV captivating her short attention.

The light sound of water rushing ripped me from my vigorous thought. I looked towards the bathroom door It slowly opened, revealing the choice I've made choice...Tammy. I rolled over placing Bianka on my other side.

I could feel the weight shift in the bed as she climbed in close. Draping her arm along my side I moved, coming from her grasps. "Either way, I knew you'd chose the right way." I rolled my eyes, combing through my daughters hair as she watched the tv.

    "I chose my daughter, not you." I began to close my eyes, resting into the pillow. "You chose us." She settled herself in the bed.

   I would've chosen her, but I'm not going to just run out on my own child. I couldn't even think twice on the option. How could I even explain my situation, a secret baby, and a secret side piece. No way to ease the sting of that.

   I'll just let it rest easy the way it is. I wonder if she's ok, if he's treating her right. If she's enjoying being away from me. If I'm even on her mind. If I hurt her too much.

  "Derek I swear you have a listing problem." She complained coming to my side of the bed, "I asked you to change her like thirty minutes ago, what do you have on your mind."

      Her. That's who, Mayanna. "Nothing, I'm just tired I probably forgot."

His heavy arm wrapped around my waist, his hand rubbing along the top of my thigh as we sat around the living room eating lunch. He held me protectively as I ate discreetly. "Soooo are you ok Mayanna?" Edwin smiles warmly. I nodded smiling back "yeah it's just been really crazy but I'm getting better."

    Nick had told me who was who previously, making me more comfortable with being here with them. As welcoming as they are, one of them sticks out from the rest.

   Brandon, we've caught each others eyes a couple of times, sending flirtatious gazes back and forth. "Okay well lets not talk each other's ear off guys." Lucie jokes finishing her meal, closing the container.

    "Well what is there to talk about?"  Austin slightly chuckles taking a sip from his cup. I looked around finely looking to nick whose eyes were kept on Brandon coldly. And Brandon looked to me. "Sorry if it's random, but you split...with him?" Brandon spoke up earning a glare from Lucie and Edwin.

     "Yeah I did." I answered shortly,closing the empty plastic container. Brandon nodded, his face held an expression that was hard to read as his eyes switched from mine to Nick's, which held a fiery gaze. "Well you two should have something in common, B just got dumped." Nick said almost insultingly, taking my trash and throwing it away.
