It is 6 am. Kye and I are in his car watching planes take off. He wraps his arm around me to comfort me after each plane takes off.

I am a little scared about planes taking off so close. What if one crashes in to us? I can't help but be paranoid at first, but he brings his arm around my shoulder and makes it fine.

We just enjoy eachother's silence.

"Laila."

He calls my name and I turn to look into his mesmerizing blue eyes.

"Your last job. Did you enjoy it?"

KYE POV

-----------

She naturally leans into me. I don't event think she realizes she does it when speaking to me.

"I loved my job. You can't tell by how late I stayed every night. I miss it all the time. It was at the perfect location. All the employees got along. It was clean. All our supplies were updated. Everyone fostered a relationship."

Her brown eyes show so much light when she speaks about this job. I feel so bad when I think about the fact that I'm the reason she quit.

"I'm sorry for-"

She puts her finger over my mouth and kisses me on the cheek.

"We but heads a lot. We dislike eachother more, but one thing I will say is I am completely grateful for what you have done for my kids and I. You've given us a life we have only heard about in fairytales."

I wipe her tears but more come down her precious face.

"I know I'm not the easiest to deal with, and for that don't apologize or blame yourself for my hard decisions. I'm completely grateful for you and all you have done."

My jaw almost drops with how sincere and humble Laila is right now.

I hug her tight with instinct to comfort her.

She snuggles into my chest and when she tries to let go I still hold her.

She looks at me confused when I won't let her go.

"Look at me in my eyes and tell me you don't love me."

She rolls her eyes but I see the unmasked fear for a few seconds.

I see the way she looks at me with admiration.

I know she loves me it's in her behavior. It's in her eyes, but her fear of me not returning that genuine love long term is what keeps her from admitting it, but I'm going to make her admit it to me, but most importantly herself.

"Why are you changing the mood?"

She says try to pull away but I pull her closer.

"You love me Laila."

She shakes her head in annoyance.

"I have love for you Kye. Of course I do."

I shake my head.

"No Laila. Admit that you are as much in love with me as I am with you."

She looks away but I grab her jaw and kiss her tenderly.

"I tell you what. If you can look me in my blue eyes and genuinely tell me you are not in love with me, I'll give you a break, but I'll tell you this: I will come back and bother you day after day after day till you admit, because I know your heart beats the same loud rhythm as mine when you hear my name, or feel me watching you."

She opens her mouth to say something but ends up turning away and blushing.

"I know you dream about me Lai. I hear you calling my name in your sleep."

Her jaw drops and I lean in to kiss her again.

It get a little heated and I back away before I start to take off her clothes.

"You don't even have to tell me why you love me. Just admit that you do."

She sighs.

"When I was going through my toughest times and felt like No one was there for me. I had you. Not my family. I cannot speak to them, especially when they hated my relationship so much with Diana. I was going out of my mind and I wanted to talk to to someone. I was at my breaking point when you were there for me yet I treat you unfairly and like crap, but you were still patient and tolerable -caring for me when I did not deserve it. If you cared for me and voluntarily, just because insticti that's who you are as a person. Kind of crazy for me to say this but I was happy when I found out that you would be tied to me for the rest of my life when I found out you Kyle was my child. I had my fair share of women but not once have I ever cheated or stepped out of a relationship. Yet I never wanted to cheat so badly as when I was with Diana. I fantasized raising our kids with you. I fantasized waking up in the morning watching you breast feed our baby. I fantasized call you my wife. I knew I loved you when it burned my soul that Henry told you he loved you and if you said you loved him back I would have cried."

I see her eyes tear up.

"Kye. Everything I love hurts me. I don't want you to hurt me if I love you."

I don't see the 24 year old Laila In those eyes. I see a vulnerable girl.

"Love me, and I'll protect you from everyone who hurts you including myself."

She exhales and nods her head.

"Just give me some time."

Her words cause me to smile.

"What?"

She asks.

"You didn't look me in my eyes and tell me you don't love me."

Her face reddens.

Lais POV

----------

Kye told me to dress up because we are taking pictures today.

He actually bought me an outfit.

I have on a long red sequin dress and gold shoes on.

My hair is in an updo.

He is wearing a black tux.

He looks so good.

Even the kids are dressed up too.

Kyle is in a tux and looks like this father's twin, and Khloe looks like mine with her red dress with sequin bow.

We get in the limo and I am excited because I have no idea what is going on.

After 40 mins we arrive.

We arrive at a beautiful venue and I am shocked as we enter.

Everyone I'm close with is here and then some.

Aunty Rachael, Haley, Her man, Kye's parents, my old boss, my coworkers, michelle, Christine, and even Anthony.

My jaw drops.

"This night is all about you."

I start to sob again.

" you put this together for me?"

He smiles and hugs me comforting me.

The whole night I am in awe of how fancy this place is.

Everyone is so dressed up. It is basically a gala.

I've never felt this loved before.

I party the whole night In immense gay joy and happiness.

After a couple of hours, Kye makes an announcement and it gets quiet.

"I'm grateful for everyone being here to celebrate my woman's 24th birthday. She's the mother of my kids, and is such a blessing to my life and you all's."

Everyone starts cheering and I can't stop the tears from flowing. There is so much people here. It amazing what Kye accomplished fore me. I've never felt this way for a man before. The way he spoils me and takes care of me. No wonder I'm still crying.

"I wanted to share with Laila and you all my last gift I got for her."

I shake my head at the way he is spoiling me.

"Laila has been working as a hairdresser for most of her life. Not only does she have a degree in cosmetology, she also has a degree in business. Laila has been working as a hairdresser in a place that adores for a couple months now. She quit mainly because of my crap, but what she does not know is she has always been the owner of that store. I bought it in her name, and decided on her birthday I would notify her.

.......

Kye's POV

I wait for her response, but all I hear is a thud as she hits the floor.

I rush to her as she passes out.

------------

"Give me your finger"

I tell Laila.

She does and I scan her finger print for my phone.

"What are you doing?"

She ask snuggle next to me on the couch with the kids.

"Watch."

I tell her as I lock my phone.

I hand her my iphone.

"Unlock it"

I say handing my phone to her and she smiles when she puts her finger and it unlocks.

my phone rings and she passes it to me. From the ringer I already know who it is.

"It says in laws"

Lai says with complete irritation.
