Falling (Sequel To Losing My Balance)

Part 2

Ari P.o.v. Heat Game. 8:00pm

I held Rory and Ari hand as we walked along the side trying to find our seats. We were all major Heat fans so we all wore our heat jerseys and some jeans.

I took a seat. Before Ariel could ever sit down she jumpped up screaming Dwayne Wade name. I laughed.

Rory put his hand on her shoulder "Be cool baby sister" he scolded. I laughed as the game went on.

"10 seconds on the clock and Heat is down 2 points. Will they make it?!" Its been 2 hours and im getting tires of the sports reporters rhetorical questions.

"OH! Whats this? Lopez steals the ball. He shoots? HE SCORES" The buzzer sounded and the crowd went wild, including me.

Wait, did he say Lopez? I look up and see Rayan staring at me as his team crowed around him. They picked him up. He looks like he is in a daze. Hell, I was too!

I picked up my stuff and took Ari and Rory by the hand and led them out the gym. We finally made it to the parking lot, which was fairly empty bec I had to take the kids to the rest room.

Rory was already half asleep by half time, so when he got in the car he was K.O. Im strapping Ari in when I felt a hand on my waist. I jumpped back to see a smiling Rayan with his hands up.

"Woah. Sorry." I stared at him blankly.

"So how u been." He rocked back and forth on his feet.

"Good" I crossed my arms.

He tried to peek into the car but I blocked him.

"So u have kids?" And I just nodded. He looked disappointed.

He opened his mouth to say somthing but I cut him off. "Look, I would love to stay amd chat but my kids have school tmrrw"

"Tmrrw is Saturday, Ali"

"Bye, Rayan" I got in my car and drove off.

Zendaya P.o.v. Law firm. 9:02pm

I closed my filing cabinet and locked it as I grabbed my purse and walked out the building. Ugh. Long hours of work is not for me. I just wanted to go home and cuddle with my daughter. I drove the 5 minute drive to Chres house to pick up Bella.

I knocked on the door. Chres opened the door shirtless. Usually I would be drooling all over him, but I was too exhausted to react. He noticed bec the smirk on his face fell off.

"Wassup Zen."

"Im tired." He nodded.

"Bella, ur mom here!" He called for her.

"Coming, daddy!" She called from her room.

Seconds later, my little curly haired bundle of joy came running out and into my arms.

"Mommyy!" She hugged me tight and kissed my cheek.

"Hey, Isa. U had fun with ur dad today?" I asked.

"Yeesss. He took me for ice cream after school" she was talking a mile a minute abt her day. After I got her strapped into her seat and took her home.

After bathing her and myself, we laid in bed and watched the Princess and the Frog until she fell asleep.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I looked on the night stand and see my phone ringing. Usually I would ignore it bec it was just Chresanto calling to bug me. I answered bec it was Ali.

"Hello" I answered.

"Hey, Zen. Wassup."

"Nothing just laying here with Isabella" she laughed. "Whats so funny" I couldnt help but laugh with my best friend.

"When was the last time u been out Zendaya"

Shidd, idk the answer to that question. It has been a while. When Bella was born, I barely had time for myself after that. Idk how Ali does it. Maybe her hours arent as crazy as mine.

"Girl, I dont need to be out when I have Isabella to keep me company" she laughed.

"Boo. Just stop u have no life " I laughed.

"Why u called me then, Fissshh" she laughed.

"Guess who I saw at the basketball game"

"who" I asked fully interested.

"Rayan" my eyes nearly fell out of my head as I got out the bed to go talk in the living room.

"Really?! Well what happened?" I interigated.

"Well he said hi. He saw Ari and Rory. Aske if they were mine I said yes then said they have school tmrrw then left." I snickered.

"Tmrrw is Saturday, Als." She groaned in fustration

"I know I couldve came up with a better lie, but I was shocked. I aint kno what else to say." She sighed.

"So are u going to let him be in Rory life" I asked bow stuffing my face with a bag of chips.

"U are so fat, Zen. But idk. I dont kno if he got that txt I sent him the night of Rory birth and if he did I think he would demand to be on his life. I dont think he got it tho bec he aint ask if they were his." She paused. "Gosh, I talk so much! Dont u get tired of hearing me?" She asked playfully.

"Only always" we started to laugh. "But I think u should tell Ray abt Rory. I mean" I paused to swallow the contents in my mouth. "Rory does kno that Craige isnt his father right." Her silence let me kno that she hasnt. "You havent  told him?!"

"I tried to, but Rory insist on calling him daddy. I seriously thought I would never see Ray again and I am marrying Craige, so I just didnt push it anymore" I sighed.

"Ali, I think u should tell him"

"Why, what good has he done for me?" She protested.

"He gave u Rory, right?" She sighed.

"I thought u hated him." She whined when she realized that I wasnt taking her side.

"I forgive and forget. U must not have noticed by now." She sighed and agreed to tell him.

After another few minutes on the phone, we said bye and got off the phone.

I got back in bed with Bella and went to sleep.

Rayan p.o.v. Home. 10:23pm

I layed in bed with Zonnique and Zuri laying on my chest. I cant believe I saw Ali today. She is still as beautiful as I remember. Hair still very long, skin still clear. Ofcourse she looked older but she was still very pretty. I was even more shocked when I saw 2 kids nxt to her. I heard she was with Craige now so I assume that their his. I laughed to myself. Her I am laying with the most perfect girl and her daughter, thinking about another woman. I shock my head and slowly drifted to sleep. But ofcourse, not before asking my manager to find out some things for me. Like her number, maybe? ;)

A.n) oooooooooo! Sorry for the very long wait. But here is another chapter :) Ok, I might forgot to mention that everyone lives in Tampa, Florida except Ali parents. And the start of this is in January. I will also try to do everyone p.o.v.

I'll put a pic up of Isabella later :)
