We were at breakfast and Zion was just looking around. She looked like she was in deep thought.

I grabbed her hand and she looked at me.

"What's wrong??" I asked her

She shook her head.

"Zion..." I said looking at her

"Where are you going now that they are put away? I know you want your own but are you sure you ready for that??" She asked looking in my eyes

"I wasn't tryna stay on my own right now. I was thinking maybe I can stay with you until I'm ready..." I said honestly

She looked at me and smiled.

"That's what I want..." she said

"I know you do..." I said making her laugh a lil

She took both of my hands in hers.

"I'm so glad that we are in a better space than we were..." she said looking in my eyes

"Me too..." I said smile

"I can't believe how stupid I was when it came to you. Like, how could I? But it will never happen again..." she said

"Who said I was giving you second chance??" I asked looking at her

"Are you??" She asked

I looked down and bit my bottom lip. I looked back at her and she was looking at our hand. I remove my hands from hers and grabbed her face. I moved her head up so she was looking at me.

"We can take things slow..." I said making her smile big

She lifted up, grabbed my face, and kissed me.

"Thank you baby..." she said against my lips

"You're welcome..." I said smiling

She kissed me again. She pulled away and sat back down. Just then the waiter brung our food out. We said a silent prayer and started eating.

" I was going by Lalani's house when we leave here. Cameron said she needed me for some..." she said

"Okay..." I said

We continued eating, talking, and laughing. I really really missed this.

We finally got done, I paid, and we left. I gave Zion the keys and we headed to Lani's house. We went in the garage, found a park, and got out. She grabbed my hand, we got on the elevator, and went up to Lani's floor. I knocked on the door, the door opened, and it was kind of dark.

"What the hell..." Zion said

She walked in first and I grabbed her hand. We walked in.

"SURPRISE!!" I heard and I jumped on Zion

She laughed at me. I seen everybody around smiling and laughing.

"Why y'all do that??" I asked laughing getting off Zion

"We happy you better..." Lani said coming to hug me

I hugged her. Crystal and Red came to hug me.

"That's why when I asked was y'all coming to breakfast y'all was hesitant..." I said

"Mmm yeah..." Red said cuz that's exactly what she said when I asked

I laughed and turned to Zion.

"You ain't told me nothing..." I said

"I'm sorry, I couldn't blow the surprise..." she smiling

I gave her a middle finger.

"Too late, you did already..." she said before walking off laughing

I rolled my eyes and turned back to Lani and Crystal.

"Is that why you got that glow again..." Lani said

"What are you talking about??" I asked laughing

"You fucked her..." Crystal said with her mouth open

"I did not..." I said

"Don't lie..." Crystal said as her and Lani looked at me

"Okay I did..." I said smiling

"When??" They asked at the same time

"Last night..." I said

"How was it??" Crystal said

"It was amazing as always..." I said smiling

"Are y'all getting back together??" Lani asked

"We're taking things slow for right now..." I said

"I'm so happy for y'all..." Lani said skipping around the counter to come hug me smiling

I hugged her back.

"I can't believe you and Zion was fucking at first. I swear I didn't see that coming..." Crystal said

"How could you not??" Lani asked
"It was pretty obvious. From the way they looked at each other and the way they acted with each other..."

"Your ass is just nosy..." I said and we laughed

"Y'all talking bout me??" Zion asked as her, Red, and Cam came from the patio

"No..." I said before hugging Cam

"Sure you wasn't..." she said sitting beside me

"So, what are we bout to do??" I asked

"Just hang for a little bit and later whatever you wanna do..." Lani said hugging Cam

"Well this one and I were going bowling, if y'all wanna join..." I said

"Drunk bowling sounds fun..." Red said

"Yeah, it does..." Zion said rubbing my thigh

"We got ice cream and cake..." Lani said going into the freezer

Cam slid the cake in front of us.

"Ooo ice cream..." Zion said

I looked at her.

"What??" She asked

"It's not dairy free..." I said and she pouted

"We got dairy free ice cream..." Cam said going to the freezer

She pulled it out and smiled at Zion.

"Here you go..." she said pushing it to Zion

"I don't want this..." she whined

"I'll eat it with you, come on..." I said grabbing a plastic spoon

I opened it up and ate some. It wasn't bad at all. I scooped more and held it up to her mouth. She just looked at me. I lifted my eyebrow and she took it into her mouth.

"See it's not bad..." I said looking at her

"But I don't want it..." she said

"But you need it..." I said

"I'm not eating it..." she said

I closed it back up and gave it to Cam.

"You can put it back up..." I told her

"You gone let her eat that non-dairy free ice cream??" Cam asked me

"Yes, that's her on the toilet all day. Cuz she gone be on the toilet while we bowling..." I said while grabbing the other ice cream
"Who cutting the cake??"

"I'll cut it..." Crystal said dancing her way to the cake
"Everybody getting some??"

We nodded, she started cutting the cake, and putting it on plates. I put the ice cream on them and they grabbed theirs. I put ice cream on a plate and sat it in front of Zion before fixing mine.

We talked and ate. After eating, Zion was ready to go. She had approximately 20 minutes to get home before a disaster occur. That's what her ass get.
