I flip the pancake while dancing to a woman like me by little mix and Nicki Minaj playing from my phone.

"Today is going to be terrific, right? " a voice asks behind me.

I turn around to find Samantha with her back resting on the counter and a smirk on her lips " umm... yeah you could say that" I say mildly giving her a once overlook.

She is currently dressed in a black crop top and pants looking chic like a model "I must say you have a beautiful voice " she continues with a nod while taking an apple from the fruit bowl before taking a bite.

I stare at her speculating about saying something or ignoring her presence totally, I chose the latter putting my attention on the pancakes placing them on a serving plate then placing them on the dining table together with maple syrup, plates, and cutleries fully aware of the intense gaze on me.

"I remember informing you about the little talk we are to have this morning, " she says while sitting on the stool in the kitchen her eyes focused on me.

I took a seat opposite hers since I felt the need to rest my back "I am all ears so go on" I say with raised eyebrows urging her to continue.

"I know about you and what was once a relationship you had with Chance, " she says malignly.

I laugh knowing where this inane conservation between us is heading receiving a malicious glare from her.

"you don't have to be precarious because I am not taking him away from you and anyways we are both estranged " I shrug acting nonchalant.

"you must be crazy thinking I am insecure, come on anyone would choose me over you," she says giving me a once overlook " I know Chance will never return because you know, what? " she says her words vitriolic.

A smirk appears on her lips " He loves me with all his heart" she says firmly looking smug.

I gulp down the tears threatening to fall keeping my face indifferent" I understand " I say keeping my eyes locked with hers.

"I am glad you understand, so enjoy your stay in this house because immediately we get married you are moving out " she utters matter of fact "not every fiancee would allow her fiancé ex-girlfriend to stay together with her fiancé but since I am substantial I let you stay," she says complaisantly.

I take a deep breath calming the anger boiling in me down " I am very resilient so don't think you can control me or make me appall by telling me all this because from what I can see written all over you is a lady who is overly despondent " I said spitefully.

This conversation is getting on my nerves with her garish attitude" Chance loves me and we have plans together so don't be a distraction, whatever was between you and Chance was just an infatuation" she says standing up anger evident on her face mirroring my expression "and a mistake "

I ball my fist in anger while staring at her in antipathy " I would feel the same way If I were in your shoes but take my words, I won't interfere between you and Chance" I say calmly giving her my words.

"I am glad we cleared this up so you can continue your task," she says leaving the room.

I sigh loudly in anger my mind running over what she said " Shiloh hold it in. Shiloh hold it in " I say continuously running my hands through my hair before hearing the sound of footsteps and voices coming down the stairs making me stand to wipe the tears off my cheeks before opening the fridge " Shiloh, you are up early " I hear Damien says coming into the room.

I took the pack of strawberry juice with glasses before putting them on the dining table as Damien take a seat with Louis and Emma coming into the room " I can't be late again for church " I say before taking a seat beside Damien.

"Good morning, " Emma says kissing Damien on the cheek before taking a seat in front of him leaving Louis to take a seat opposite mine.

"pancake!," Louis says elatedly placing some on his plate before spreading maple syrup" I am so hungry and this is scrumptious," he says stuffing his mouth with a pancake.

I took my phone from the dining table stopping the music from repeating "when are you never hungry? " Emma asks sipping from a glass of strawberry juice.

Chance walked into the room with Samantha tailing behind him gaining our attention with their wonderful presence (I hope you notice the sarcasm there).

I take a bite from the pancake as Chance takes a seat at the head of the table while Samantha sits beside Louis with her usually warm smile in place.

We all ate in silence before Emma chose it's was convenient to say something "Shiloh, who was that handsome guy who dropped you off yesterday night ?" Emma asks before taking a bite from the pancake with a smirk evident on her lips.

I glance her way with a look of are you going there before smirking because I got the game she is playing at " yeah it was just Shane, he did ask about you when he dropped me off but you were asleep " I shrug sipping from my glass of juice " he was totally flirting with you yesterday and also very happy you gave him your number" I say concluding making her cough lightly while receiving a glare from Damien.

Shane, I am so sorry "we both know he was into you not me and the number I gave him was yours, not mine," she says nonchalantly with a smirk.

I gave her a fierce stare but before I could give her a witty comeback Chance beat me to it " enough of this inane argument " he orders angrily.

"geez...we are only joking no need to get your pant in a twist" Emma retorted.

"it better be a joke," Damien says glaring at me and Emma.

We both smile warmly hoping it melts his anger while Louis smile amused.

"I am pretty sure the part about a guy dropping her off wasn't a joke," Samantha said with a shrug.

"just like the part where I shove your words back into your mouth," Emma says nastily.

"See I don't know why you hate me for no just reason but I know as much that it is not my fault he chose me," Samantha says with a bit of an attitude.

Emma holds onto her fork tightly making her knuckles white glaring intensely at Samantha who just sits across from her looking unfazed.

I cough lightly " Emmalynn" I call in a warning tune gaining her attention before shaking my head in a no gesture for her to put her anger aside.

She nodded in reply picking up her plate before placing it in the dishwasher while Damien does the same leaving the room towards the stairs together.

After they both left the silence overwhelming us was awkward and tense with Chance looking angry and deep in taught while Louis looked like he rather is anywhere but here and Samantha still looking unfazed.

I decided to leave the awkwardness behind after clearing up my mess in the kitchen making my way towards my room.

Passing by Emma's room I heard her and Damien talking since my room is at the ending of the hallway while hers was just opposite Damian's room.

I wasn't able to make out what they were discussing just a bit connecting to what happened just a few minutes ago.

I plug my phone getting into my room before taking a relaxing shower, I change into a blue gown reaching a few inches above my knees, pairing it up with a red thin belt and red flats.

I did light makeup applying lips gloss and a little bit of mascara and blush, losing my wavy hair from the bun letting it rest on my back.

Satisfied with my look I unplug my phone before putting it into my purse leaving the room.

"I am leaving for church! " I announce walking past Emma's room receiving an okay.

I left the house walking a short distance towards the bus stop.

After the end of the service, I walk towards the altar for a short prayer before leaving.

I kneel before the altar with my head bowed and eyes closed " O Lord I need your help more than ever right now, please guide and protect my loved ones, also please guide my steps and decisions, I pry." I say concluding with an amen before raising to my feet walking towards the seat I left my purse " Shiloh are you leaving already? " Kate questions walking towards me.

Since she attends this church we always see and she has been a great support to me when I needed advice.

She made a promise to never let my parents know about us seeing each other for which I am grateful.

I grin widely " yeah I will be on my way," I say picking up my purse.

"okay dear take good care of yourself and the baby, " she says warmly before pulling me into a hug.

"I will do just that, " I assert pulling from the hug before waving her goodbye.

I decided to do some exercise by walking towards the park which isn't far from here.

Reaching there I took a sit on a bench with my hand resting on the arm of the bench and the other resting on my belly making myself comfortable while watching the usual happenings in the park.

"Hey there," an unfamiliar voice says beside me startling me a little " you brought your kids here? "

I stare at the handsome young man sitting beside me with beautiful light brown eyes (picture above).

Dressed in a black T-shirt and brown slacks looking lazily handsome if that could be called a word" Uh... no, just here to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere " I say snapping myself from staring too long.

"Sorry for not introducing myself, " he says a blush creeping onto his cheeks making him look more handsome if not cute " I am William," he says with a smile.

I return his smile "Shiloh" he laughs lightly testing my name on his lips" so you brought your kids? "I ask trying to keep the conversation going because he looks like someone I would ask to be friends with.

"no I brought my niece and nephew, " he says point towards two kids playing happily before waving making them laugh happily, they look not more than eleven " married? " he asked with a hand gesture.

"no uh... " I say contemplating the right word to say" this is unexpected, " I reply avoiding his eyes.

"Oh," he says awkwardly " I was scared that I had to fight a possessive husband to be friends with you," he says trying to lighten up the mood which indeed worked.

I laugh making his cheek flush "then we are officially friends " I say making my voice a bit deep.

We both chat for a little while before he decides to leave with his niece and nephew who were twins and ten years old.

I left a few minutes later taking a bus home.
