"No I don't like that" Miracle said eating and trying all flavors for her wedding.

"Alright" I said pushing it aside. "What about this one?" Jalen asked while feeding her a flavor.

She spit the cake out and I moved back to not get spit on. "Miracle that was dramatic as hell" Jalen said.

I lowly laughed to myself "And if you would've spit that on me. We would've had a problem." Jalen added.

"Just pick a damn cake flavor. I don't care what the hell we eat." Jalen said while standing up. "I'll be back" I nodded my head and he walked away.

"Miracle what is wrong with you?" I asked her. "I'm stressed out Liyah. I don't want anything to be wrong"

"Mir it's going to be perfect. Stop stressing. This is supposed to be a happy process. Your getting married to your Bestfriend"

She smiled "I am getting married aren't I?" She asked in disbelief. I shook my head "Sure are."

She laughed "Okay breath Miracle" she took a deep breath in and out. "Okay let's go with pink champagne" Miracle told the baker.

"Fantastic choice. I'll get that down for you." The baker smiled. "Thank you" Miracle smiled as he baker walked away.

"Pick one?" Jalen asked coming back. "Yes she finally made a choice." I responded to him.

"Great. Can we go?" Jalen asked. "Yup" me and Miracle both got up from our seats.

"What else do we need to do?" Miracle asked herself out loud. "We getting married in three months let's get it together" Jalen told her.

"You wanna plan this wedding Jalen?" Miracle asked him in a snappy tone. "No. I just put up the bread. You got the rest" he laughed.

Miracle rolled her eyes "Right. Shut up talking to me." She waved him off.

He laughed "Yes ma'am" he put his hands up ind defense. "I learned it's better to just listen" Jalen whispered to me.

"Happy wife. Happy life. My friend" I laughed and patted his back. He shook his head and got in the car.

I sat in the back seat on my phone, watching Miracle write down little notes in a journal. "You Okay Miracle?" I asked her.

"Yup." She took a deep breath. "Alright. I'm ready" Miracle said.

Jalen side eyed her and took her hand and his "Ready to be my wife" Jalen asked her.

"Unfortunately" she rolled her eyes. He laughed and kissed her hand. I smiled at there cute encounter.

I hope me and Darius can get married one day. We already have a child and getting married would just unite our family. Darius already talks about growing our family and I can't wait to make our family whole.

I was with my moms today hanging with her. She was going through chemotherapy and taking other meds so she looked a little weak and tired but still had her killing smile.

"I'm glad you've spent time with me Mel" my mom smiled at me.

"Of course mom." I smiled back. "Did you talk to Tre?" I asked her.

"Yes. He's going good. I miss his voice and everything about him." My mom smiled to her herself.

"Yea." I shook my head. "I'm sorry that I've forgot about you and Tre. I never wanted to put you guys to the side." She finally admitted.

"It's okay mom. I forgive you and I'm sure Tre does to" I hugged her, she smiled and hugged me back.

I dug my phone out my back pocket as I felt it ring.

🤫💖

Wolf ass is annoying me with this Ariana talk. Come over? 😩

I laughed to myself and shook my head.

🤫💖

I'm with my mom. I'll be over there soon. 😘

I texted him back and placed my phone back into my pocket.

"New boyfriend?" My mom asked me. I smirked "Something like that."

"I'm happy for you Melody." My mom smiled at me. "Thanks mom. Speaking of boyfriend I gotta go." I kissed her cheek.

"I'll be back soon. Promise" I smiled at her. "I'll be okay. Go live your life." She rubbed my hand.

I nodded my head and grabbed my stuff. After that I gave her final wave and walked out to my car.

Drake's song Nice For What blasted through my speakers on replay as I drove over to Christians house. I wasn't ready for this drama that was about to take off at Christians house. Ariana explained he whole situation to me and I understood where Wolf was coming from.

I went and picked Ariana up before going to Christian. We needed to fix whatever this was because my ears were tired of hearing both of them bitch about this situation.

"Did you apologize?" Melody asked me as we pulled up in Christians driveway.

"I mean yea at least I tried. He doesn't want to talk to me." I replied as I took my seat belt off.

Melody rolled her eyes "Come on." She said as she rang the doorbell.

Christian opened the door "Wassup Y'all" He said whole picking at he's chin hair with no shirt on.

Melody wrapped her arms around his neck and pecked his lips. "Wassup Ma" he smirked at her.

"Hey baby" she smiled up at him. He pecked her lips one more time before pulling away.

"Maybe put a shirt on" I rolled my eyes and brushed past him. "And stop all the mushy shit" I added before walking farther in the house.

They both laughed and walked behind me. When I walked into the living room I saw Wolf sitting on the couch with no shirt on.

He looked up at me and smacked his lips. "Hi to you too." I rolled my eyes. "Sit down Ari" Mel told me.

Christian sat on the bridge of the couch while me and Melody sat on the same couch. Wolf sat on the couch across from us.

"So Wolfy." Melody sat on smirking at Wolf. He looked up and smiled and sat up "So Baby Wolf" he smirked back at her.

"You gone talk?" She asked him. "What you mean? I'm talking right now."

"Stop playing. Talk to Ariana so y'all can go back to being Bonnie and Clyde" Christian butted in.

"Ariana already playing house with her ex. What she need me for?" Wolf asked.

I laughed sarcastically "That was almost funny." He smirked at me "Wolf I already told you that I don't wanna be with my ex"

He sat back in his seat "Ariana I know what you said. But do I look dumb to you. You don't go from loving a nigga for years to just forgetting about him."

I crossed my arms "Well I can. I don't know why you can't just believe that."

"Cause I heard you rant about y'all relationship for hours. I know how you feel about him, you told me remember" he said gettin loud.

"Well I was hurt at the time. But I'm over that and him." I said matching his volume.

"Yea sure" he waved me off. "You don't want me Ariana. You want him" he said calmly.

I walked and stood over him "Stop telling me what I want."

He stood up immediately "What you standing over me for?" He question looking down on me.

"Get over yourself Marshawn. I'm old enough to know what I want. And if you want to continue to be a pussy boy go ahead" I turned away from him.

Wolf grabbed my arm and backed me into a wall. "Wolf" Melody yelled. I saw Christian push her back "Give them a sec" he told her.

"Give him a sec to do what Christian? Kill her." Melody said. "He ain't gonna kill her. Watch"

She nodded her head and calmed down.

He held my wrist down "Stop playing with me yo. Foreal" He said sternly. "You stop playing with me."

He stared down at me. "Let go of me." I tried to get out of his grip. "Don't squirm. It's going to be worse for you. I promise."

I rolled my eyes "What Wolf. What?" I asked him. I looked up at him "What you want from me?"

"To keep it hot with me." I took a deep breath "I am. I'm tellin you I don't want him. I promise" I said honestly.

"Aight" He said letting me go. "Now you guys kiss and makeup" Melody said laughing.

"Melody shut-" I was interrupted by Wolf crashing his lips into mine. I deepened the kiss.

"We're one big happy family." Christian song sarcastically.

Wolf released himself from the kiss. "Ariana. I don't play games. Just so you know" he whispered.

I stared at him for awhile before nodding my head. I took wolf seriously of course, I just didn't know exactly what he wanted from me. A relationship? A good fuck? A friendship? He's never clear.

At this point we're just playing games with eachother. It is what it is.

"Thank god that's over" Christian huffed. "It lasted like two days. Y'all can stop the dramatics" I rolled my eyes.

"Nah foreal" Wolf said while looking down on his phone. I laughed and grabbed my phone out my pocket.

"Yo mama really decided not to do your hair today huh Mooch?" I asked Kamryn as she laid on my chest.

She shook her head on my chest and I felt her curly hair wave across my chest. "You talking shit Darius?" Aaliyah asked as she walked in the living room.

I laughed "Yea. You letting my daughter go out so sad." I played in her big Afro hair.

"Look at all this hair. She don't need it done. Huh kami" Aaliyah asked Kamryn.

"Nah she still need it done." I laughed. "Mommy I'm hungry" Kamryn said while sucking her thumb.

"Stop that" I smacked her hand out her mouth. "Why?" Aaliyah asked me as Kamryn poked her lip out.

"Cause she ain't a baby. She don't need to be sucking on her thumb" I scuffed at her.

Aaliyah rolled her eyes "What you wanna eat baby?" Aaliyah asked her.

"Uhh ghetti" she smiled. "Okay baby" Aaliyah said about to watch in the kitchen.

"Get me some of that ghetti while you at it" I yelled. I heard her laugh "Mhmm" She came to my other side and kissed my cheek.

Aaliyah walked in the kitchen and I could hear her make some food. "Mooch?" I said to Kamryn as she stared at the tv.

"Daddy" She said while still watching the tv. "Gimme some suga." I poked my lips out.

She turned around and pecked my lips. "Love you" she smiled "Love you too" she said before turning around and watching the tv again.

After awhile Aaliyah finished making some food and came back with the plates. "Kamryn you got too much hair maybe I should cut it off" I said while grabbing her hair in my hands.

"No" she turned her head and acted like she was about to start crying. "Why the hell would you tell her that" Aaliyah smacked me in the side of my head.

I started laughing "No one gonna cut your hair baby. Come here. " Aaliyah held her hands out for Kamryn and she went to her.

"Y'all some baby's damn. I was playing" I said while continuing laughing.

"No one laughed but you" Aaliyah said rolling her eyes.

I shrugged my shoulders and slurped up my spaghetti. "Darius?" Aaliyah said grabbing my attention.

"Aaliyah." I responded. "I wanna get married" she blurted out, I nearly choked on my spaghetti.

"To who?" I asked while my eyes got wide. "Who else idiot" she said in a duh tone. "Me?" I asked pointing at myself.

"You play too much. I'm being serious" she rolled her eyes. I cleared my throat "Okay okay. Why do you wanna get married?"

"Because I feel like we should. Jalen and Miracles getting married and they don't even have a kid yet. They live together. I feel like we're being passed up."

"Aaliyah. We shouldn't get married just because someone else is doing it. They took steps just like we have too."

She stayed quiet and didn't respond. "Aaliyah" I called her name out. "What?" She said snappy.

"Why are you upset. I'm keeping it real" she shrugged her shoulders "Okay" she said dryly.

I laughed to myself and shook my head. I don't know why Aaliyah was having wedding fever but we shouldn't be getting married just for the fun of it. We need to take those steps and grow together.
