*Zion

Zaylin and I had a blast for the rest of the day. We had dairy-free ice cream. I fed him some mashed potatoes. We took a good ass nap. We woke up around 10 at night. I bathed him, fed him warm milk, and he went back to sleep around 12. After he went to sleep, I got in the shower. I got out dried off, moisturized myself, and put on my clothes. I sprayed on cologne that I knew Milan couldn't resist and waited on her.

Around 2, I heard her pull up. I went downstairs and opened the door. She was walking up with her keys in her hand.

"You got his stuff together??" She said coming in as I closed the door behind her

"You might as well stay until the morning..." I said

"Zion I told you I wasn't staying..." she said

"Milan that's almost an hour drive back across town and it's in the middle of the night. He's already comfortable so why wake him..." I said

"You knew what you were doing when you told me to come get him. I'm not staying so go get his stuff together..." she says

"Milan I'm not letting you drive all the way across town this damn late with our son so go take fucking a shower and lay your ass down..." I said looking at her

"Zion you don—..." she started

"GO!!" I pointed toward the stairs

"Uuhhhhh..." she groaned before going upstairs

I shook my head while locking the door. I headed upstairs and heard the shower running. I  went into the room and she had the bathroom door closed. I went to bed and he was still asleep.

She was in the shower for 30 minutes before getting out. She took another 15 minutes to come out of the bathroom. She stepped out in her robe. She headed out of the room and headed downstairs. I got up and went downstairs with her. I went into the kitchen and she was getting strawberries out. She rinsed them off and cut the top off. She turned around to throw it away and jumped once she saw me.

"What the fuck Zion..." she said before rolling her eyes

"Why you gotta be so mean??" I asked

She turned to me before biting her strawberry.

"Cuz I can..." she said

I walked towards her.

"Gimme a bite..." I said as she was chewing and  grabbing another one

I was just looking at her. She bit off that one while looking at me.

"Open your mouth..." she said

I opened my mouth. She slipped it into my mouth. She tried to push her finger deeper but I caught her fingers with my teeth. I raised my eyebrow while looking at her.

"Let my fingers go..." she said

I sucked on them as they slid out of my mouth. She looked at me before a few and shook her head.

"I bought something to go with those..." I said

"What??" She asked

I smiled before going into the fridge and grabbed the chocolate drizzle syrup. I showed her with a smile. She sat on the counter and looked at me.

"Hold out one of the strawberries..." I said

She grabbed one and held it up to me. I drizzle some of the chocolate syrup on top and she bit it.

"Mmmm..." she said looking at me nodding

"Good??" I asked

"Mmhmm..." she said
