A Simple Kiss

Regrets

Chapter story: Love by Keshia Cole
Brittany P.O.V.

I yawn and stretch the next morning. I hear the boys downstairs playing with their toys.
I walk in the bathroom and fixed myself up.
I then walk downstairs and hear the boys laughing.
"No! Thats mines!"
"Mommy said to share!!" Raven complains.
I deeply sigh. "Boys, no fighting its too early."
"But mommy Aj-"
"No! Hush or time out!" I sternly say.
They looked down and say. "Yes mommy. We sorry."
I deeply sigh and walked over to them hugging them.
"I shouldn't have yelled like that. Im just tired."
They smile.
"We can fix you breakfast!"
I laugh.
"Uh no. Im good. Besides, you two are getting ready to spend the week with Uncle Si and Jean."

They jumped up excited.
"Yayy!" They run upstairs to pack their bags. The door bell rings and Alvin stands there.
"Uh hey. What do you want?"
"Actually-" He starts to say but was interrupted by a female voice 
"Alvin, baby, where are we going to get married..oh..hey." She says.

Married. They are getting married.
"Hey. Im Brittany."
She smiles.
"Courtney. Very nice to meet you. How do you know Alvin exactly?"
I was about to open my mouth when I hear.
"Dadddyyy!!!!!" Raven runs and hug Alvin. Aj lingers back due to seeing Courtney.
"Aj, come say hi to daddy." I say.
Aj shakes his head.
"I don't want to." He whispers, holding onto my leg.
"Oh, youre the mother of his kids?" She says surprised.
I deeply sigh. "Sadly yes." I muttered.
His eyes darts towards me. "What was that?"

I fakely smile. "Oh nothing."
"Come on Junior. Its me." Alvin begs.
Aj shakes his head. "No. Youre replacing mommy with her." He says pointing at Courtney

"Aj stop being mean!" Raven says.
"Its true!! I dont want her to be my new mommy!" Aj cries.

Courtney shifted uncomfortably and Alvin looked anywhere but at us.
I pick Aj up and take him inside. "You guys can come in if you want."
"Please daddy!" Raven whines.
Alvin shakes his head. "We better go. See you boys later." Alvin says smiling. I nod and close the door.
"Im sorry mommy." Aj says.
I kiss his head. "Its ok sweetie. Come on, your Uncle Simon will-"
The doorbell rings and Aj climbs out my arms and Raven runs downstairs. I giggled and opened the door.

"Uncle Si!!" Raven and Aj squeal. Simon chuckles.
"Hey boys. Are you ready?"
They rush upstairs to get their clothes.
Simon looked at me. "Spoke to Alvin?"
I deeply sigh and smile. "Hes getting married. Im happy for him." I play with my shorts and Simon eyes trailed down to my legs. He chuckles and averted his eyes to mines.
"The girls are going to club tonight."
My eyes light up. "They are!? Omg Simon thanks for telling me, I need to relax." I say hugging him.

He laughs and whispers. "Youre welcome Britt but right now, the boys are ready." I back off him and turn to see Aj and Raven smiling. I smile and lean down kissing their heads. "Have fun babies." They giggle and hug my legs. "We love you momma." They say and run over to Simon.

I turn to Simon. "Take care of my boys. 'Kay?" He smiles. "Always. Come on boys."
"Bye mommy!!!" They say leaving out the door.
They drive off and I deeply sigh. I pull out my phone and texted Jean.
'Hey Jeanny, when are you guys leaving?'
....
'At 8. Why? Wanna come?'
'😒 ofc.'
'lol cool! See you then!'

I smile. Spending time with my sisters is what I need

~7:30 p.m.~

I let my hair out its usual ponytail and boy did it get longer. I curl the ends of it leaving the rollers in. I apply some mascara and eye shadow with a light shade of pink and dark red. I give myself a smokey eye and afterwards I stepped into my black dress. It reaches my mid thigh and I zip the back up. I check my phone and its already 7:57.
I slip on my pink pumps and I undid the rollers from my hair, quickly but nicely. The curls fall down around my shoulders and my sisters honk the horn.
