Cake - Ep•13•

Jayda Cheaves pov

I sing to myself in silence, as I twirl around the kitchen baking a cake for vons daughter birthday party .. which is today .

After a lot of debating with myself ? and forgiving Von for our fight two days ago , I decided I should be a good sport and bake a cake for her even though I'm not even invited to her party .

I thought a lot about what happened , and I realized I may have overreacted a tad bit . Just because I'm messing around and falling for her dad doesn't mean I have to be involved in baby girls life or birthday . Plus I'm taking away most of her dads time anyways , I might as well make her a cake .

It eats me up to even admit these things but it's the truth . No matter how great he makes me feel it will always be a border between me and his real life . At this point I feel like I'm just apart of the job ? but I guess it doesn't matter . we're partners .. right .?

"Goodmorning jay !" I hear a loud chirpy ass voice that I wouldn't believe was vons if I wasn't watching him skip down the steps .

He has a bright ass smile on his face , with a full fit on , and freshly styled dreads .

"Uhm Goodmorning " I greet awkwardly as he slides in the kitchen, and places a kiss on my cheek making m furrow my eyebrows at how happy he is . He's usually not a morning person at all ! I guess this birthday is a bigger deal than I thought .

"The cake won't be ready for another hour "I remind him being that it looks like he's on his way to the party now .

"That's cool , I'm finna start setting shit up " he nods

"Here ?" I question

"Yeah , the parties here " he informs me of this new information

"Oh " I mumble "what time should I leave ?" I ask so I don't run into his house guest and create an awkward ass environment on my way out

"Why would you leave ? " he questions as a small smile creeps on my face realizing what he's hinting at "i thought you wanted to meet her " he smirks as I grin as wide as my cheeks let me , jumping up into his arms for a hug

"Aweee Von " I chirp kissing him all over his face

"Aight Aight don't drag the shit "he chuckles putting me down "I just realized how much it bothered you so I wanted to make it right " he tells me while I just stare at him in awe "I promised to let you teach me how to do better "

I can't help but to hug him again as tight as I can to show my appreciation for this small gesture .

Although I haven't been pushing on the subject of meeting his daughter to much since the other day , the fact that he's making the adjustment just proves that he's willing to get out of his comfort zone for this relationship.

He's willing to try different things and he obviously listens to me when I scream at him . I'm honestly in shock . No man has ever actually listened to me like he does , not even my father . I've always been over looked and over talked . He just doesn't understand how much I appreciate him hearing me . Actually hearing me .

"Thank you Von " I say pulling away as he smirks placing a kiss on my lips

"Ain nun luh foe nem , can't have you round this hoe stomping all mad and shit " he chuckles and I join him . I have been throwing little fits lately . "Plus you prolly would've fucked up the cake on purpose "

"Oh my god I would never "I play fake shocked as he shakes his head at me then looks at me for a second before caressing my back

"I'm glad you happy " he says and I smile
