Jayda's POV 💜•

It was the next morning and I woke up a little earlier so that I have time to shower, since I didn't have time last night. I went in my bathroom and looked in the mirror. My eyes were puffy from crying and I had dark circles. "Welp I guess Im wearing makeup today." I told myself. I turned on the shower and let it heat up. While it heated up I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I stripped my clothes and got in the shower.

I quickly washed my body, rinsed the gel out my hair and put more conditioner in it. I got out the shower and saw that it was only 6:30. I got 15 minutes until I wake up Jayden and Xela. I put on my outfit and slipped some fluffy socks on. Its cold as hell today.

I went in Xela's room and put her clothes on while she was still asleep so she wont take forever. Jaydens alarm went off not much after and I heard him go in the bathroom. I went laid Xela back down and slipped her shoes on. Yes, I can do all of this while she sleep, this girl sleeps through everything.

I went in my room and sat at my vanity and started to do my makeup. I only did a natural beat. I sprayed my face with setting spray and went to go wake up Xela so she can brush her teeth.

I brushed her teeth, washed her face, and touched up her hair. She was basically ready so we went in the kitchen to get some breakfast. We had only 15 minutes before we had to leave, so I put some 4 waffles in the toaster 1 for Xela and 3 for Jayden. I decided to eat a bagel. I spread butter on it and put it in the airfryer.

It was 7:20 and time to leave. Neither Zela or Jayden like syrup so I put their things in napkins. I handed it to Jayden and we walked out the door.

I made it to Jayden's school in 5 minutes. "Bye bubs. Have a god day!" I kissed his cheek. "Bye JJ!" Xela told him. "Bye yall." He closed the door and walked away. I drove off and went to Xela's preschool. "Hi Ms. Xela! Happy to see you again." The teacher told her. "Hi Ms. Rosie." She hugged her. "I gotta go so I wont be late to work. I'll be here to pick up Xela at around 4:30." She nodded. "See you later Ms.London." She waved. "Bye mommy!" "Bye baby." I walked out and drove to the place I dreaded the most today.

I made it to work at 8:00 and I dont start work til 8:30. I got my shoes out the backseat and switched them. I put on my long sweater and got out the car so that I could get a cup of coffee. I walked in the building. "Good morning Jayda!" the security guard greeted me. "Good morning Khalil." I smiled at him and he didnt smile back.

I smile and greet this man everyday and he is a stone cold rock. Never smiles, he just started saying good morning recently. I got in the elevator to go upstairs and I went straight to my office.

I bought my own Keurig for my office because nobody cleans the ones in the break room. Just nasty. I made myself a cup of coffee and sat at my desk and waited until it was time to clock in. I was bored like 2 minutes in so I started working. I started checking emails when I got notified by the front desk that somebody was here to speak to David.

"Hi, do you have an appointment today?" I said without looking up. "Im Bernice, Im here to see Dave." I heard her name and looked up and felt a pain in my chest. "Im sorry, you aren't on the schedule today.." She sighed heavily. "Im his and Im bringing him breakfast.Can you just let me in." excuse me? girlfriend? She didnt even have food in her hand. "Umm... I need to notify Mr. Brewster before I let you in." Im being petty and giving her a hard time but oh well.

I called Dave's office through my intercom. "Mr. Brewster there is a woman, Bernice, here to see you claiming that she is your girlfriend." I said with a slighttttt attitude. "Uhh, Jayda? I didnt know you were here." I ignored him. "Is she allowed in?" "Uh, yea bring her in."

I hung up on the intercom and stood up. "You can follow me Miss.." I acted like I didnt remember her name. "Ms. Brewster." I ignored what she said. I opened the door to his office and he was sitting at his desk with his face in his hands. "Hi babe." She walked over to him and sat in his lap. "Jayda wai-." He made eye contact with me and I felt myself tear up so I walked out and closed the door behind me.

Dave's POV 💙•

I was at work hoping that I could talk to Jayda today. It was already 8:45 and she didn't come in my office all happy, saying good morning and shit. I couldn't even focus on my work today. I texted her this morning multiple times, no answer. I get it I fucked up but damn.

I was in the middle of signing papers when I heard Jayda on my intercom. "Mr. Brewster there is a woman, Bernice, here to see you claiming to be your girlfriend." I heard the hurt in her voice. "Uh, yea bring her in."

Why the fuck is she here? Im digging myself into an even deeper hole with Jayda. I saw Jayda open the door and she held it open for Bernice. "Hi babe." She came in sat in my lap trying to kiss me. "Jayda wai-." I made eye contact with her and saw tears forming in her eyes. She closed the door and walked away.

I pushed her off me. She got down on her knees and started messing with my pants. I heard the door open and it was Jayda. "Mr. Brewster I forgot to-." She looked at us. She dropped the papers and walked away. "Jayda wait please." I went after her. "Babe?" Bernice grabbed my arm. I snatched my arm away and she fell. I didnt care and I kept walking.

I went to Jayda's office and tried to open the door. It was locked. I knocked on the door. "Jayda, please." I knocked again. "Leave me alone please, Im on break." I heard her suppressing her cries. "Fuck!" I punched the wall.

I went back into my office and saw that Bernice was sitting there with her clothes off. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" I threw her clothes at her. "Put your shit back on and get the fuck out." She started crying and put her clothes back on. She ran out and I saw Jayda leaving and I went out.

I grabbed her arm. "Jayda wait." She looked at me with tears in her eyes. "Please let me go now or I will scream." I kept holding on to her. "Jayda please.." She snatched her arm away from me. "Jayda let me explain!" I raised my voice a little bit. "Please, just 5 minutes." She rolled her eyes and went in my office. I sat down at my desk and she sat across from me.

"Speak." I sighed. "First, I went to the club to help my brother. He's the manager at the strip club I was at. He needed some help, and after he convinced me to drink. I was drunk and he wouldn't let me drive, so I sat and watched dancers. Then, Bernice came and sat next to me. I was already drunk and she was all up on me." She sat there just listening. "When I'm drunk Im kinda horny, she started kissing in my neck and I kissed her. I guess somebody caught it and the shade room somehow got to it."

"Then, my homeboy dropped me off at home and I knocked out. So, I genuinely apologize for not coming last night. I am sorry, it was a dumb mistake." She just nodded. "Umm, and today, I don't know why she came here or how she even knew about this place, but I met her just last night. I wasn't really listening to what you were saying when you told me that she was here. I just wanted to talk to you." I stopped and she was biting the inside of her cheek.

"Well why would you let her by your dick?" She asked me. "I pushed her off my lap and it just looked wrong when you came in. I promise." I stood up and walked next to her. I stood her up, grabbed her hands, and looked into her eyes. "I promise Jayda, it was never my intention to hurt you or Xela. I have really strong feelings for you. I want you." I told her never breaking eye contact. She backed away from me and let my hands go.

"Honestly David, I don't think we could be together. You really hurt me. I thought I finally found somebody that made me and my daughter happy, but the same day, you broke me. So, I honestly dont know about " She walked out my office.

What do you think about this one?
