"Okay spell it" Matthias instructed as he cut up the red potatoes.

"P-O-S-S-I-B.. umm" Kennedi stopped to think. "You got it, take your time" He coached.

She nodded, putting her finger on her lip to think "Okay, I'm ready" She said, he nodded "Possibility" He said.

"P-O-S-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y" She spelled it confidently, He smiled "That's right Mami, what's the definition?" He asked.

"Umm, something... that.. might happen right?" She said more in an asking way. He smiled and nodded while washing the potatoes off. "That's right, what numbers did I give you today?" He asked.

"20 times 7" She replied while doing her math homework. "Did you figure it out?" He asked, now seasoning the potatoes with garlic and Italian seasoning.

"Yes, it's 140" She put her pencil down, and he nodded "And why is that?" He asked.

"Because 2 times 7 equals 14 then you add the 0 and get 140," She said confidently. He held up his hand for a high five "Good job Mami, you catching on faster"

"Use possibility in a sentence," He said, putting the potatoes in the air fryer.

"There's a possibility you will give me $20" She smiled, he started laughing "There's a possibility that I won't give you $20"

Her smile dropped "Booo tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes. I'm throwing tomatoes daddy" She said in a hand motion as if she was actually throwing tomatoes.

He shook his head "You're around your TTs too much" He said, grabbing her match homework to check.

"Actually, I got that from Rayah and Lani" She sassed back, He shook his head "No more hanging with Lani and Rayah" He chuckled, giving her the paperback.

"The first one is wrong but everything else is right, just remember you have to write your whole name out and not just a W" He reminded her, and she nodded, grabbing her pencil to erase it.

"Daddy, can I get another baby mouse book? I finished my last one and I let Rayah take it to read it" She said, putting her homework up in her folders.

Kennedi loved to read, she's reading on a 3rd-grade level and hasn't even started 2nd grade yet. It was from Matthias always reading to her when she was a baby.

"Mhm, What book?"

"I have the first 4 soooo, the heartbreaker and camp one?" She asked, He nodded "I'll order it tonight," He told her while leaning on the counter.

"Daddy you know how Brook has a boyfriend?" Kennedi asked, sitting back on the stool at the island. "Mhm," He hummed, putting his phone down to give her his full attention.

"When are you going to get a girlfriend? I know you are lonely" She asked innocently while tilting her head to the side.

He looked at her in disbelief "Just because daddy doesn't have a girlfriend doesn't mean I'm lonely Mami" He chuckled.

"Okay, but when are you going to get one?" She rolled her neck.

"When I meet the right person Kennedi. Is that okay with you?" He chuckled, standing straight and going into the refrigerator. It was never a dull moment with her. She was a child full of emotions and sassiness.

"You know who you should make your girlfriend?" She asked as he put the Capri Sun in front of her. "Who?" He asked, opening the water bottle he got for himself.

"Lani" She beamed, making him choke on the water. "So dramatic," She giggled.

"Why do you say that Mami?" He asked. He and Lani already agreed they weren't going to tell the girls until they were serious with each other, as in when they made it official. Which they haven't yet.

"Because I like herrrr and she is really pretty and niceeee" She nodded with a smile.

"Oh wow," He chuckled.

"Rayah said that she is lonely just like you too" She smiled.

"I-" He busted out laughing "Got ta' bed" He laughed, pointing out the kitchen.

"I didn't get to eat yet" She frowned.

"Go to sleep hungry" He joked.

"Hello?" Lani answered the facetime call yawning.

He chuckled "Damn you in the bed already?" He said, seeing her headboard and the room was dark.

"I'm tired, it's been a long day" She shook her head, setting the phone up. "Anyways, Hiiii Matthias" She smiled sweetly.

"Hey mama" He chuckled, setting his phone up while he cleaned the kitchen. He just put Kennedi to sleep and was glad he didn't have any work to do later.

He can finally get his full hours of sleep tonight and he was happy about it.

"You miss meeeee" She cheesed in the camera. He curled his lip up "No" he joked while rinsing the cup.

Her jaw dropped "Cool" She said before hanging up making him crack up laughing. He dried his hands off before calling her back.

She answered on the second ring, mugging him "What?" She asked blankly. "Fix yo' attitude Ailani, I was jus' playin" He chuckled, putting the phone back down.

"No, I don't like you" She rolled her eyes, putting her phone back up.

"Oh you'n like me now but we kissin' on me earlier?" He smirked, she started blushing and tryna hide her face.

Earlier today Matthias was close to her job and he thought why not take her lunch. Since their date, they rarely saw each other unless it was pick-up time and even that was only for 10 maybe 15 minutes.

She had been saying she wanted popeyes so he brought it to her along with himself.

They spent the whole hour they both had together. Lani didn't forget to keep kissing him either but he didn't mind at all.

"I don't recall," She said, watching him now clean the sink.

"Oh, you don't? If I remember correctly 'Gimme another one' or 'Your lips are so soft' or when— Okay! I get it" She cut him off giggling.

He shook his head, folding the dishrag. She just loved to play like she didn't like him for real or try to act hard but she was definitely a softie when it came to him.

"You kno' our kids out here tell folks we're lonely?" He asked, leaving the kitchen. He didn't need to make Kennedi's lunch since he already made it while he was making dinner.

She started laughing "What?"

He nodded, going into his room "Ken was like I'm single cause I'm lonely. Then she said rayah said you were lonely too" He chuckled.

"It be your own kids I swea' " She laughed, he nodded agreeing before looking down at his phone, seeing he had a message.

Hey Matt! I was wondering if we could talk tomorrow, maybe Lunch?

Matthias stared at the message before leaving it on read. Annika has been texting him non stop asking if they could talk. He honestly did feel bad the way he just ended things with her without explaining first.

He was just trying to get Ailani to see that he was serious about her. Annika was actually really nice.

He did want to explain himself, his mothers didn't raise him not to care for others' feelings when they didn't do anything wrong.

He didn't want Lani to find out and think the worst. He was already trying to gain her trust and getting her to slowly let her walk down. Anything could mess that up, even the smallest thing.

"Mattthhiiiaaasss" He heard, he snapped out his thoughts "Huh?" He asked.

"You okay?" She asked, "Yeah, my fault mama. What did you say?" He asked, shaking off the idea of telling Anikka yes.

"I asked how was your day?" She said.

"Easy, block her," Keith shrugged as he, Ruben and Matthias were all sitting in the diner on their lunch breaks.

"She didn't do anything wrong tho" Matthias reasoned.

"Understandable but what do you need to explain yourself to someone you barely know?" Keith explained.

"You already said it yo' self. Lani has bad trust issues and will drop you at a dime. Why let that happen just to explain yourself to someone you don't need to explain to?" Ru sipping his coke.

Matthias nodded, listening, they were right. Texting Annika back could cause problems between him and Lani in the long run. He just didn't want to be seen as that ain't shit nigga who would drop you with no explanation.

"What's crazy is I'm still working on the home for her parents. I just know next time I see her momma she is going to bring it up" He shook his head.

He knew from his first interaction with her mother that she was going to be all in their business when she didn't need to be.

"Why it's takin' so long?" Keith asked.

"Dawg she is indecisive as hell. One day she wants marble, the next she wants wood. One day she doesn't want the plan of the house to look different." He ranted, getting annoyed.

Matthias was a quick business worker, he couldn't stand clients that changed their minds every 5 seconds. It always pushed him back further than he needed.

This was probably the longest process he ever had to go through with someone.

"I haven't even got to show her what I came up with because she changed her mind so much. It's been a month too"

"Yeah you're not going to start until July sounds like it," Ru said, nodding in agreement.

"Bari told you he found a place this year? He talkin' 'bout going to Panama beach" Ru said, Matthias nodded "Yeah, he said he still lookin' for a house instead of doing condos"

"I ain' been to the beach in so long dawg, I need this break" Keith shook his head.

"F— Matt!" He heard someone calling his name. He looked up seeing Annika making her walk over to the booth.

"Bruh" He mumbled, making Keith and Ru turn around to see who it was.

"Hey Matt, did you get my message last night?" Annika smiled as Ru mugged her and Keith just looked in between the two.
