The Unexpected

Leahs pov

Jennifer just mentioned me in her story. I opened it and see that it's of my dog and Veronica playing.

"Love" I replied. She leaves it on read. Why'd she tag me? For my dog? For her cute daughter? Who knows. She didn't have to tag me and could've left everyone wondering whose dog that was. She's so extra.

My guests are taking up my whole place and theirs little crazy kids also who I don't want their booger hands all over my puppy. So I'm kind of glad I came up with that thought right away to have jen keep my dog for the weekend.

"Is it normal for her to be this jumpy after she eats?" Jennifer texts me. "Well yeah. It's means she's energized"

"Okay. No need for sarcasm"

"I'm not being sarcastic hun"

"K"

"Lol Jen stop being so butt hurt"

"I'm not"

"Well stop acting the way you are. I'm trying to be your friend"

She leaves me on read. I'm just trying my best to make things right. To make things clean and not messy. For the sake of her daughter. I love her daughter and Jennifer knows the bond me and Veronica has so she's obviously just doing whatever she can just to make her happy. It's sweet though. She really meant it when she said she's all about her daughter. She told me about how close they were even though she's adopted. I mean of course. The fact that she's adopted shouldn't stop her from that anyways.

After the whole weekend passed and another school day over, Jennifer comes to pick up Veronica. I see her holding Biscuit in her arms as she walks towards me.

"Biscuit!" Veronica yells.

Jen places her down on the floor and biscuit comes to me but Veronica also follows.

"All her things are in my car. Well I just brought her bed. I'll just keep the extra dog food you gave me because that shits heavy" she giggles. Sounding more nicer to me.

"Okay I'll go get the bed right now. Thank you again for watching her. I owe you" I said. "You're fine" She says and forces a closed mouth smile.

"Okay lemme just close everything down because I'm leaving too. Then I'll go get the bed from your car."

"Mmkay" She says and sits at one of the kid chairs. Well attempts too.

"Okay this won't work out" she giggles. I giggle too. We both know her ass is big for the chairs. "Go sit at mine" I said and walked away from my desk to finish up cleaning. So she does. For some reason it feels like she's being super nice now instead of acting like a bitch and I love it. She's cute and annoying when she acts like a bitch but I only liked it when she was with me. Now that we aren't together, I like seeing her nice side a lot more.

A few minutes later after cleaning, I got my bag and phone getting prepared to leave.

"Okay lets go" I said. So they all followed me out. Veronica was carrying biscuit.

"Go ahead" I said letting them pass going out of the room so I can close it.

"No babe! Don't let her eat the flowers!" I hear behind me. I closed the door then turned around but I flinched and accidentally placed my hand on Jens ass because I didn't expect Jen to be bent over and I almost pushed her down.

"Shit- sorry" I said. She just stands up straight and ignores the fact that my hand was fully placed there. "She was eating those purple flowers. But I got it out of her mouth." She tells me. "Oh wow thank you" I said.

We walked over to the parking lot to her car. She opens the back door and of course.. that scent of hers that's more stronger in the car lingered through my nose. It was one of the most satisfying scents.

"Thank you again for watching her last minute. I know you're a busy person" I said.

"Anytime. I did say I'll always be here for you" She says softly. Being the sweet person she is to everyone. I let out a soft smile and looked away.

"Now you're making me feel like a horrible person." I said.

"Why?" She giggles. "Cause! You know.."

"It's above me..kind of. I'm just trying to be a good person and like you said, we can just be friends. Even if you still wanna touch my ass"

"That was on accident!" I giggle. She laughs along too and shakes her head. "I'm messing with you"

"Mm. Well I'll see you guys tomorrow." I said. She smiles and surprisingly I just end up in her arms. She gave me a light hug. Just with one arm. "See ya" she says. I leave, shocked. Jen is probably one of the sweetest person I've ever met. How can I just dump her through text like that and she still has my back when I need her. Ugh.

Jens pov

Over the past weekend when I had Biscuit, Vanessa came over and pretty much lectured me. Reminding me that it's better to be friendly instead of being such a bitch to someone whose hurt you. She reminded me to just be a forgiving person like I've always been. She hadn't seen me so mean to someone before because of a mistake they did because she knows I usually just let it go. But then she also realized it's because I still really like Leah, even if I get over her the slightest bit, so she knows inside I'm still a bit hurt because I did see us moving farther into a relationship. Leah was making me a happy girl and satisfying me the way I needed to be satisfied. She treated me so right, I don't even have to expect things from her because she just does it. But ever since she found out I had a daughter, she was still sweet but also fucked up big time. Now she knows my daughter and things are confusing because my daughter loves Leah.. so it's best for us to just be friends if she can't have a relationship with me but wants to keep a happy relationship with Veronica.

I'm up and ready for work and so is Veronica, ready for school. She looks extra cute today. She has half of her hair up then the rest of it down. She has the cutest light washed ripped jeans on and a black fashionable tank top, paired off with checkered slip on vans.

"Do you want a vanilla bean from Starbucks?" I ask her as we gather our things. "Yeah!" "Okay" I said.

We left and it didn't take us to long to get to Starbucks. We're sitting at the drive thru in a long ass line but we're early for work and school so it's fine. I went on my phone as we sat and waited, scrolling through Instagram and liking posts.

"Good morning! Texting u to let you know that I'm leaving class early today because there's a little teacher meeting I gotta be at. It's not all the teachers, just a few lol. So I won't be there when you pick her up. There will be a sub" Leah texts me. So polite.. how annoying.

"Lol okay thanks for letting me know"

"No problem :)"

"I'm at Starbucks rn. Did u want something?" I hesitated to text her that. But I'm just being friendly. I'm a new woman today.

"Sure! Do u know what I want?" She asks.

"If it's the same order..then yes lol"

"Cool. Yeah it is. Thank you!"

"Of course" I replied.

See? I'm nice..

We later get to school. I did the usual and walked Veronica to class. Leah was at her desk talking to a parent so I just walked behind her chair and slid the cup on her desk so I wouldn't interrupt them. But even though I tried my best to be quiet and just planned to leave right away, she pauses and looks.

"Oh thank you so much!" She says. "You're welcome. I'll see you tomorrow" I said. "Okay! See ya. Have a great day" she says in a friendly way. "Ha..You too" I said sweetly. Then I said bye to my daughter and left.

What? I'm just being nice.
