DELANO POV

I brought these two to the park today. So far, so good. No arguing. No fighting. I remember when Salem was all about Harlow and now they can't stand to be around each other. It's like a war with these two.

Harlow is great with Ryan. She rather hang out with him than anyone else. I guess the same way Salem is with Kai. Strange.

Salem came running over to me "Daddy Harlow is bothering me".

"Weren't you two so close? What happened?" I asked.

"She started talking" Salem said. Shaking my head cause that couldn't be the real reason. "Go play!". She ran back over to the play equipment. Harlow came as Salem ran back "I'm thirsty". Handing her a box juice she sipped away. When she was done she handed me the juice and hugged me. "Thanks daddy".

Salem cleared her throat from afar. Harlow turned and smirked. Not realizing what's going on. She went to go play and I sat there. You know when you are having a nice day and the dark cloud comes without warning? Well that was the situation at hand.

A car with tinted windows slowly pulled up and sat there. Now usually I wouldn't care about a car just idolizing so close to me. But with Bria on the loose anything is possible. Not giving the person inside the car any inkling that I'm watching them.

Salem came to me wanting something to drink as well. She sipped her juice... that's when the person came out the car. I turned to see her old teacher smirking "you think you'll get away with beating people up?".

Salem turned to look at him.

I didn't respond. Not doing this in front of my two kids. "You heard me!" He yelled.

Again nothing.

"That's why you're a punk ass bitch! A coward!" He yelled. Salem put her drink down "what he say about my daddy?!". She tried to walk over there but I stopped her. "No one is going to talk about my daddy like that".

"You need to relax and go play" I said

"You need to relax and go play" I said. She looked up at me pointing to the man "but he's saying mean things about you!".

"Don't worry and go play!" She looked at the man one last time and ran to where Harlow was. I sighed cause this little girl is crazy. If she could do that with me I could only imagine if it was Kai.

"Are you proud of yourself? Cursing in front of young children?" I yelled back.

He looked around and saw all the other parents mean mugging him. Another big guy who's son was there started walking over to him. He got back into his car and sped off.

Dumbass.

Salem was on top of the jungle gym just staring at me. I smiled letting her know everything was fine. She jumped down and went to play on something else. Harlow was just on the slide... her eyes were down the street. Looking where she was eyeing was the same black tinted car.

A quick thought came to me our boys kill and our girls are plotters. Harlow was quiet this whole time. But she was sitting here just watching. Salem... well she tried to fight for me. "Daddy can we go?" Harlow asked.

I nodded "Salem come on". She came running over putting on her shoes. In the car, it was quiet and usually with these two the noise is always on a ten.

"You girls okay?" I asked.

"Why was that man yelling mean things to you?" Salem asked.

"Because he's crazy. He doesn't know me but he stopped to yell at me. Just a crazy man" I said.

"Oh" she said.

"That's Salem's teacher?" Harlow asked.

"Used to be" I said.

Harlow raised her brow but didn't say anything. Not wanting to tell the them the truth. They're too young for what's really going on. "How about we go and get some lunch?".

They both cheered knowing where we were going. God help me! "Chuckle cheese daddy?!" Salem asked.

I nodded "you know it". By the time we got to that place we weren't there that long before Harlow was on top of the mouse trying to bite him. Because he wouldn't give her a bead necklace. I was done. Salem was pissed off that Harlow did what she did.

When we got home Salem went to her room and Harlow didn't have any remorse for what she did. Gia looked up from her laptop "oh no! What happened?".

"Harlow took out the mouse at chuckie cheese. We got thrown out and Salem was pissed" I said.

"Harlow? Did that?" She asked.

"Yup, I was surprised myself but she did" I said. Gia sighed and looked at Harlow who was smirking. "It's not funny" she said. Harlow looked down "I'm sorry".

"Can't believe you did that! Go to your room" Gia said. Harlow slipped to her room. "These kids are a mess!".

"You telling me. I'm sure the person in that mouse get up was mean mugging me" I said. Gia tried not to laugh. "Then before that... Salem's old teacher was being a stalker and found me at the park and started yelling at me. But I refused to react with both our girls with me. But Harlow was on that car even when it left".

"Let me find out Harlow is the plotter" Gia joked. Taking a seat next to her and putting my legs up. "What are you doing?" I asked.

"Just a good old fashion look up online. And I found some stuff" she smiled.
