34.

"Ximora.." Jaelen groaned as he laid back on the bed.

"Just answer the question okay please don't play with me right now" she said.

He shook his head "Yes Ximora.."

"Okay next question.. this one's a little tricky. would you still be with me if I was a toad?"

He blew out a breath "Yes"

"Even if I gave you warts?"

"Ximora, you gon go cook?"

She laughed as she got up.

"This is not the fifties"

"You offered to coo- okay Mora" he chuckled.

"Am I annoying you?" She asked getting out the bed.

"Nah where you going?" He scrunched up his face.

"You seem bothered.." she said feeling herself about to cry.

He sighed and pulled her to him. Since Ximora's doctors appointment, she'd been more emotional and easily cried about everything.

"I'm not baby, you wanna just order food?"

She shook her head and wiped her face. "No, I'm gonna cook"

Before she could get up, he pulled her back.

"Wait I wanted to ask if you wanted to go outta town wimme.." he said.

She nodded "Yea, like Atlanta? Ouu or Miami?"

"Nah baby, St. Lucia" he said.

"When?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows.

"Tomorrow" he told her.

"For my birthday?" She smiled, causing him to nod.

"I would love to but I don't have a passport, and what about KJ?"

"I got you a passport.. and Jade agreed to watch KJ while we're gone" he smiled.

"How you get me one? I didn't apply-"

"Just know you have one now" he chuckled.

"I have to get things to wear Jae, I don't have-"

"Jade bought you hella shit, she bringing it by in a few for you to pick through" he told her.

She playfully rolled her eyes "Oh you just got everything figure out"

"And do" he said rolling his neck.

"You having fun?" Jaelen asked as Ximora got out the pool.

She nodded and took a towel from him.
