I woke up from the sound of thunder. "Great way to wake up." I said sarcasticly to my self. I got up and took a shower and did my hygienes. I walked in my closet and found some sweats and a tank top I left over. I put that on and walked downstairs. Eva was feeding the twins while Julian cooked. "Oh, goodmorning Zaya." Eva said surprised. "Hi." I said in a low tone. "Eat." Julian demanded. I sat at the table as he put my plate infront of me. I stared at my food then looked up at Eva and Julian who was just staring. Julian looked pissed. I started eating and they went back to what they was doing.. Once I was done eating I washed my dish and Julian stopped me and told me to meet him outside under the porch. I did as told.
"Explain why you here and not home." he said. I took a deep breath and looked away. "I'm listening." he said. "Oook, when Langston and I was having our differences. Gabby and I went out. I saw my boss Darien there and I got drunk and Gabby drove me home and all I remember is him kissing me and then everything was a blur from there." I said all under one breath. Julian sat there and stared at me again. God, I hate when he does this. "You need to get it together." he said. "Now, you need to apologize to him and explain fully what happened that night." "He won't listen to me, he didn't even let me explain at the club." I stated. "He was pissed, he wasn't going to wanna here that shit. It's call give em time to cool off then speak." I hate getting life lessons from Julian. The rain patters broke the silence between us. "Now, what do you have planned for today?" he asked. "Nothing, go get Austin from Langston moms house." I said. "Alright, go put on some shoes and a jacket, we'll go get him." he demanded. I did as told and waited for him. He kissed Eva and the twins, then we left.
We pulled up to Langston's moms house. Then he was there. "I don't wanna go in." I said. "Why?" Julian asked. "He's here..." I said fighting back my tears. Julian got out with made me get out to try to stop him. The rain was falling hard that it was blinding. He knocked on the door. "Why do he have to try to be superman in every situation? Langston mom opened the door. "Hello Julian what a pleasant surprise." He stepped to the side reviling me. She had a worried look on her face. "Y'all come on in and get out this weather. And baby don't worry he's still sleep." I sighed in relief. Austin was on his play mat having a blast, laughing and giggling. He smile made me feel good. I picked him up and kissed all over his face. "Langston told me what happened." she said. "How, when he don't even know the story." I spat. she gave me a look and I apologize. "Well, tell me what happened?" she asked. After I told her Langston came down the stairs. He stopped in his tracks and turned back around. "Unuh, bring your ass here boy!" She spat. He sucked his teeth and sat on the chair. "yes?" he said with a slight attiude. "Why you ain't let this girl explain?" she asked. "I was pissed bruh, I didn't wanna here shi-... I mean nothing from her. What she did was wrong fr ma." he said. "But how didn't you know if you didn't even get the full story." I felt the tears form in my eyes. "You gone let some petty ass nigga excuse my French ruin y'all relationship?" Julian asked. I shot a look at him. He put his hand up and I tended back to Austin. "This girl say she was drunk, she didn't know anything that was going on." His momma said. "So you kept this away from me cause you didn't wanna mess us up even though it want your fault?" he asked me. I nodded my head yes. He got up and took Austin from me and grabbed Austin's sack. "Come on let's go home." he said. We hopped up and I hugged his mom and we all left. I hugged Julian before he got in his car. The rain had lighten up. I guess Langston wanted me to drive cause after strapping Austin in he sat in the passenger side. I took the key from him and sped home.
Once we made it in he went upstairs with Austin. I sat on the couch and watched cartoons. The rain was making me sleepy so I went in the hall closet and got me a blanket. I laid down on the couch and watched cartoons til I fell asleep. I was sleep for almost 30 minutes and I woke up in the bed. I heard laugher downstairs. I put on my uggs and walked downstairs to see Langston, Chris, Eddie, and Zach. Austin was in his playpen making loud random baby noises over the boys laugher. "Hey baby." Langston said. "Hey." I said with a concerned look. "We hungry can you go cook for us?" he said. I looked at him as if he asked me to rob a bank. "Why didn't you just order pizza?" I asked. "We want a home cooked meal." Chris said not making anything better. "What makes you think I feel like cooking?" I asked. "You the wife, the wife cooks and cleans." Zach said. I shot a look at him. "Why y'all waited til I got up?" I asked. "None of can cook." Langston said. I don't know what stunt he pulling but I don't like it at all. "Well what y'all wanna eat since y'all so damn hungry?" I asked. "Pasta." Langston said. I shook my head in disbelief and walked to the kitchen.
In the middle of cooking Langston came in to get another beer. He stopped and looked at me while I stirred the pot. "What weirdo?" I asked. "Zaya. Your all mines, nobody else's. I don't give a damn what our problem is. I'm yours, you mines and we keeping that way." He said. I stopped cooking and looked at him. "Ok." I said. "Now bring that ass here girl." he said holding his hands out. I smiled and walked towards him. I wrapped my arms around him and he wrapped his around me. "I'm sorry." I said. "It's ok, I forgive you. Next time know better." he said. I nodded my head and let go. I finished cooking and let everyone fix their plate. "Thanks bae." Langston said with a mouth full of food. "Ummhm." I said dryly. I fixed my plate and went upstairs and ate.
