I was having fun with lovely Jada but was interrupted by my ex wife. I was quick to act because of my daughter. That's all that matter. I'm never a person to be attached so soon but I was. Jada is an amazing woman. She made me happy again. I didn't want her to meet my ex wife or even know about her. Paige would threaten her. She was very against our divorce. She was not ready to let go before signing those papers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm not signing those fucking papers Elijah," Paige says racing around the room. I grip onto my hair, after hearing her say that for the 15th time.

"Paige, I'm done. You screwed up and it's time for this marriage to be done. You cheated and this is what you lost. You lost me." She wipes her cheeks and sits down.

"What about our baby?"

I rub my chin and unbutton my shirt halfway. "We'll figure that out later. But for now....it's over." She quickly gets up and walks into the room. She comes back with a pen and hands it over.

"Done." She walks away but pauses. "You can do anything you want. about getting into a relationship. You'll make the poor girl suffer. She will not be Miya's mother under my watch. I will raise hell whenever she comes." She walks towards the exit and turns towards me. "DEAL WITH THAT!" She screamed from across the room. She storms out and slams the door.

I sigh before walking into the room.

And that was the end of our seven year marriage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I opened that door, the rage radiated off of the mad woman.

"What happened to Miya?"

" Who is this?"

Is she really worried about Jada?

•{JADA}•

I pursed my lips as the woman looked at me up and down. Elijah put his arm around me, still looking at the woman. "Jada, this is Paige Anderson. Sh-"

The woman grows tired and interrupted Elijah. "I'm his ex wife." My eyes widen and I just stare at the woman in front of me.

"What-what happened to Miya?"

Paige pays attention to Elijah. "She won't stop crying. I think she's sick." Elijah rushes inside passing Paige. Paige gives me a death stare as I move inside. I wanted to shrivel up into a ball as I felt her eyes target my back.

I looked around the house, amazed at the sight. "You have a beautiful home." I turn to see Paige drinking smart water.

"I know." She slightly smiles and goes straight serious.

I walk into another room. Elijah picks up a small little girl. She cries into his arms. "Miya, it's ok daddy is here." She sniffles and continues to cry.

Paige rushes from my side with a toy. "Baby, you want your toy?" Miya nods and reached for the toy. She grabs it and hugs it for dear life.

Elijah sets her down and turns toward Paige. "Did you check her temperature?"

Paige nods. Elijah sighs before feeling Miya's head again. "She doesn't feel hot." He feels her chubby cheeks. She giggles causing Elijah to smile. "See, she's all good."

Miya reaches up to Elijah. "Dada!"

"My babygirl." He picks her and puts her up in the air. I smile widely, admiring how good of a father he is. He stares back at me and nods.

"This is Miya King, My daughter." She looks at me with her beautiful big brown eyes. I look at her in awe.

"Hi, Miya." She hides into the crook of Elijahs neck. I smile lightly and Elijah kisses the side of my head.

After a hours of slightly fighting and taking care of Miya. Elijah and I drive to my place. The car was completely quiet. It wasn't until Elijah started talking.

"Jada...I"

"I would expect you to tell me you were married," I say, looking out the window.

"I know. I should've said something." He rubs the wheel and his temple.

"What else don't I know?"

He sighs and fixes himself in his chair. "Umm, we got divorced four months ago." I breathe in deeply before letting air come out.

"Look, I'm sorry. I haven't encountered someone like you. You make me feel like myself again. Before I met Paige." I tremble a bit under his touch.

"Elijah, I don't wanna be a rebound." I remove his hand from my thigh.

"You're not, Jada. I promise you." He lightly kisses my hand causing butterflies in my stomach. Fuck, he knew how to move a woman.

"Jada, I like you."

I couldn't hide my smile. He was too charming. "I know you like me too." I shake my head and grin. When he finally reaches my home, he pulls me closer.

"Please, baby. Please." He says kissing my neck and cheek. Shit I felt like I was melting under his touch.

"Oh fuck it." I capture Elijahs lips. He kisses me back, caressing my curves. He chuckles in our kiss.

"I wish, I could go inside." He says, looking towards my door. I bite my lip, still looking at his plump luscious lips. He laughs showing off his beautiful pearls.

"What's stopping you?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"I'm a gentleman." We both laugh. I peck his lips one last time before walking towards my door.

He smirks at me. " One day!" He yells before turning on the ignition.

"Bye, baby!"

"Bye, Elijah." I wave at him as he drives away. I close my door, thinking about all the dirty things we could have done. Shit, I wanted to jump his bones. Even his kisses got me so heated up.
