When I walked inside the house I saw Lexi standing in some 5 inch heels.

"Girl what the hell." I said.

She laughed and tried to take off running but fell down.

"That's what you get." I pulled the heels off her feet and took them upstairs to Lauren.

She was mopping up the floor in the hallway.

"Why you mopping?" I asked tossing the heels in our room.

"Because your daughter peed on the floor. She needs to be potty trained!" Lauren yelled.

"She will. Give her some time."

She sighed and mopped harder.

"Anyways. I'm taking you out to dinner tonight."

"Not tonight Ace. I start my new job tomorrow."

"Baby come on. We won't be out that late."

"I'll think about it."

"Ain't no thinking. Your going." I told her.

Lauren

After mopping up the pee I went to call Pepper.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Can you watch Alexis and Luke tonight? Ace wants to go to dinner for some reason."

"Yea. You know I will."

"Thanks." I said and hung up.

"Here. Go buy something nice." Ace handed me some cash.

"What's wrong with the clothes I got in the closet? It's just dinner Ace."

He ran his hand down his face. "Stop being complicated and take the money."

"I will not." I pushed his hand away. "It's dinner. I will wear whatever's in my closet."

"Okay fine." He through his hands up in surrender.

I was laying in bed watching Orange Is The New Black on Netflix when Ace walked in the room.

"Why aren't you getting dressed!" He yelled.

"Nigga who are you yelling at? And it's 6pm."
