After school me, Kylie, and Justin decided to go to the mall and grab something to eat. I also had made plans with Zaire to study later for Friday's photography test, and since he just moved here invited him along to the food court. We were currently sitting in my car waiting for them to come out. The day had given very much basic bitch. Same niggas. Same bitches. Different day.

Currently me and Zaire were just making light small talk. I didn't trust him, so I was calculated and careful with my answers but I did trust his energy. He seemed genuine as hell.

"You smoke?" He asked while reaching for his bookbag and looking at me.

"You swipe or transfer?" I retorted.

He looked at me and laughed like he was watching a Kevin Hart show bitch. I'm glad he could take a joke, but a part of me was serious. The back seat opens and Kylie and Justin hop in. I was lowkey irritated with they ass at the moment. I hate waiting for people.

We drove to Lenox, made our way in and tried to decide what to eat. The guys opted for chick fil a, while me and Kylie decided we wanted sushi.

"So what were you two talking about?" she questioned giving me a look. Y'all know the look. The "bitch spill it all before we get to the table, so I can be up on game" look your friends give you.

"Nothing really. It was just small talk." I answered truthfully. That's really all it was. I found out he was 18 and a senior taking photography as an elective. He's from New York and just moved to Georgia with his older brother at the beginning of the summer. He didn't mention his family other than his brother and I left it at that.

We got back to the table at the same time as the boys. Conversation was light and the vibe was chill. I was really in my own world as usual until it was time to go and we headed back to my car.

As we were walking out I could see Kartel walking with some random girl. She was cute, but he could do better.

"How was school?"

"It was chill ya know. Nothing new." I answered my older brother. He was more of a father than my actual sperm donor.

"Hey Ky. J, wassup? Yo King who this?" His face fell straight as he saw Zaire.

"This is my classmate Zaire. He just transferred from New York. Zaire this is my oldest brother Kartel" I introduced and they dapped.

We said our goodbyes and made our way to the car. It was only about 4 now and Kartel picks the twins up from daycare at 7, but I missed my babies.

"Yo brother so damn fine! He needs to get with the swirl so I can be his girl!" Kylie shouted once the doors closed. We all burst out laughing. She's had a crush on him forever. I laughed her off and shot him a text letting him know I'd get the kids.

After about 30 minutes I pulled up to the daycare and hopped out. I could feel Zaire looking at me the entire way to the entrance. Poor boy was probably lost as hell. After checking my kids out and checking them to make sure they were going home how I sent them here, we headed outside.

"Unc! Tee Tee!" the kids scream in excitement as we approached the car. I passed them to Justin and Kylie who showered them with hugs and kisses.

"Zaire those are my twins Bronx and Brooklyn. Kids this is my classmate Zaire." He turned to look at them smiling and waving. Brooklyn hid her face into her brother acting shy and Bronx simply said "No."

Zaire looked so hurt, but this shit was so funny. I didn;t have my kids around anyone, so they weren't used to people and they were far from friendly kids. I told Zaire they'd warm up to him and we drove to my house.

After getting through the gate and then the house security we got to my house and as usual my parents were nowhere to be found. We got to my room and Zaire let a quick "Damn," slip out his mouth. My room was big as hell. I had a blackand gold king size bed, white plush carpet, a black couch, my tv was mounted on my wall over the fireplace. I had a walk in closet with a builtin vanity and my bathroom was plain and simple, but it was in my room.

We studied or tried to at least for hours. The kids were so energetic. They warmed up to Zaire after bonding with him over chocolate he gave them without telling me. I left Zaire, Kylie, and Justin to finish studying while I went to wash the kids. After bath time I fed them some leftover spaghetti. I took them to their room and got on my knees to say prayers with them. After that I sang to them for about 5 minutes until I knew they were sleep.

I walked back into my room picking up my phone seeing it was now about 8. I went to the dresser and pulled out my optimos and weed tossing it to Zaire. "What's this for?" he questioned me.

"Roll that shit duh nigga. You asked if I smoked." he wasted no time getting started.

I went and took a quick shower then changed into some sweat pants and a white t shirt. I had pulled my hair up out my face into a sloppy bun.

I walked into my room to see Ky and Justin on the couch. Zaire was sitting on the floor nearby with 2 blunts rolled already. I opened my window then propped down beside him on the floor.

Zaire D'Amour

"Spark that shit nigga." I ain't know who shawty thought he was giving orders too, but I been waiting to smoke all day so fuck it.

I sparked the blunt and inhaled it a few times before passing it to him. I ain't finna lie, at first in class I wasn't fucking with buddy.

His mouth was smart as hell too early in the morning and I be chilling fr. But then he loosened up. He had a nice smile, cute laugh, and deep dimples to match.

He was short for a guy and had a nice body. I could tell he works out cause that ass is sitting lord.

Coming through the house, I noticed a lot of track trophies with his name but none were recent. Seeing him with his kids was intriguing tho. I could tell he was watching my interactions with them extremely closely. Can't do anything, but respect that.

We passed the blunt around a couple more times and then Kylie and Justin were knocked on the couch. He was basically sitting leaned back with his mouth open, while she laid with her legs across his lap snoring. I laughed and snapped a quick pic for snapchat.

"Light the other?" his eyes were piercing through me. I couldn't even do anything but nod my head. I didn't know if I did something to make him upset or if he was one of those people who get high and tweak out.

I lit the second blunt then inhaled it about 3 times before passing it to Zaire. I looked at my phone reading the text my surrogate had sent 'Hey, I wanted to let you know I'd be in town in 2 weeks to see the kids. Love you!' I had a lot on my mind. Honestly, I didn't want her around them. She signed over her rights after 6 weeks. Since then I've been doing this shit myself so fuck how she feels.

"You ever been in love?" I ask Zaire as he passed the blunt my way.

"Yeah, shit was overrated. You?"

I inhaled before answering, but before I could say anything my mind took over. My palms were sweaty and my throat felt tighter than my hole bitch. I felt one tear fall and then ten. Ten more. My head was pounding.

My mind flashed back to the day she left. The day she walked out. The day I grew up and stopped believing in fairytales. My head was pounding now. I looked at Zaire then everything went black.

A/N: Thank you guys for being patient with me. I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue writing. I've lost a lot of people close to me. It's been a lot to deal with especially when real life comes. Leave comments, opinions, and let's see some predictions too. I'll try to update every 2 days with this story and they'll be longer or I might decide to do shorter chapters but a long story. This was just to get my feet wet.
