Cortez

That night, I couldn't go to sleep. The betrayal was eating me alive and I couldn't endure it anymore. I looked at the time and saw it was one in the morning.

I threw on some jeans and a t-shirt and left out the house. I got in my car and drove over to Jennifer's house. I was about to knock on the door but it swung open.

"The fuck you doing here?" Melanie asked. Her brows were furrowed and her fists were clenched.

"I want to talk to Jennifer. "

"I don't care. You had my baby upset and shit so I had to be big daddy Cortez," she said in all seriousness.

"Can I come in to talk to her please? Damn."

She rolled hers eyes. "5 minutes."

I walked in the house and saw Jennifer with a baby laying on the sofa.

"Jennifer," I called out. Her head turned in my direction and she sighed. I knew I hurt my baby in ways more than one.

"What are you doing here?"

"We need to talk."

"Well, when I wanted to talk earlier you wouldn't listen so why should I listen to you?"

"Please?" I begged.

She got up from the sofa and walked down the hall to her bedroom. I walked behind her and shut the door as soon as I went in.

"Listen I d-," I tried to say before she cut me off.

"No, you listen to me. If all you're going to do is lead me on then leave me in the dirt, we can cut this shit off now. What did I do wrong?"

I wiped my hand over my face. "You didn't do anything Jenn. I was just in a predicament that had my mind fucked up."

"You just can't do that to me baby. I thought I really did something wrong," she said while caressing my cheek.

"I missed you baby," I told her.

"I miss your crazy self too," she said.

I leaned forward and kissed her lips. I bit her lip so I can have an enter to her mouth. Our tongues danced in the midst of our kissing. I let go of the kiss and started kissing her neck and leaving hickies in the process. She tugged at the hem of my shirt. I looked at her and she nodded. I took off my shirt while she took off hers. I gazed at her bra less chest. Her breasts were perky and just the right size.

I sucked on her left nipple while she moaned out in pleasure.

"Wait.. Stop, stop Cortez," she pleaded.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Not with Melanie and my child down there. Okay?"

I groaned. "Yeah."

"Don't be mad. I'll make it up to you," she said while putting back on her shirt.

I laid back on her head and she laid on my chest while wrapping her leg against mine.

"We're going shopping tomorrow. Okay?"

"Okay. I got to get Destiny something anyways."

"I can buy it."

She shook her head. " Baby I got it."

"Nah, I want to make up the shit I put you through today. Just let me do it. Okay?"

"I guess," she said before I heard light snoring. I chuckled and fell asleep also.

Jennifer

"Mhm, y'all ain't slick," Melanie said.

I laughed. " What you mean?"

"You down here smiling and shit. Y'all fucked?"

"No! That's all you think about. Your mouth has no type of filter."

"You already knoowwww." She said imitating Big Freedia's voice.

"Cortez treating us on a shopping spree. You coming?"

She sucked her teeth. " The only reason he buying shit is because he did something wrong. I don't really trust him Jenn."

"He probably didn't do nothing Mel. It's just he wants to treat me and Destiny."

"I guess but believe what you want to believe. I got to get home and clean up. Talk to you later," she said while leaving out the house.

I heard a horn blowing from outside and saw Cortez get out of his car. He came inside and greeted me with a kiss.

"Good afternoon baby," I said.

"Good afternoon. I'll get the car seat and meet you in the car."

I nodded and grabbed Destiny and my purse then I walked outside. I strapped Destiny in her car seat then got in the passenger seat.

He grabbed my hand and kissed it. "How sweet of you."

I heard Destiny stir in her sleep. I turned around and saw her smiling. "Uncle Tez!" She shrieked.

I looked at Cortez with a confused glare. " You know her?"

His body tensed up. "Yeah, but we'll talk about it later."

I sat back in my seat and watched the houses pass by us.

We arrived to the mall ten minutes later. We walked into the mall with people whizzing past us.

"Let's go get something from Chick-Fil-A first," I suggested.

He nodded so we walked over to the restaurant.

"Hello, welcome to Chick-Fil-A, what would you like?" The cashier asked without looking up.

"A chicken sandwich with waffle fries and a nuggets meal," I ordered for me and Destiny. The waiter finally looked up and saw who was standing before her. A smirked appeared on her face.

Not this bitch again.

"You know what. Cancel the order," I said.

"Are you sure about that?" Cee said while looking me up and down.

"Yes I'm sure. Let's go," I told Cortez.

"So you going to leave without speaking Cortez?" Cee asked.

I looked at Cortez and he nodded towards her.

"You know this broad Cortez?" I asked him. He didn't say nor move a single muscle.

"Of course he knows me baby girl. He comes see me everyday. Tell her Cortez."

I saw anger setting in Cortez's eyes and his fists clenched. The fuck going on?
