A/N I wrote this chapter before the whole James Charles scandal that's going on now. I literally heard about it the two weeks ago on Snapchat and I was too lazy to change the whole interview.
Dinah POV
"Mommy! Mommy!" I open my eyes and see Kalia sitting up holding the remote to the tv. "Coco! Coco!" I look behind me and see Y/N still sleeping. I put my finger to my lips. "Shh baby. Mama is still sleeping." She peeks around me and puts her hand over mouth and nods her head. I smile at her and take the remote from her and turn on the tv putting on Cocomelon. I look at her to see if shes satisfied and see her bouncing on the bed clapping her hands then stopping. I turn and face Y/N and embrace her side profile.
I take my right index finger and softly run it down her sharp jawline. I move my hand over a little and I softly place my thumb on her bottom lip. I drag it softly across her lip and she scrunches up her face then relaxes again. I feel her kiss my thumb. "What you doing weirdo? Why are you watching me sleep?" She chuckles. "Because you're cute. And I'm just happy to have you with me. I missed you sleeping in the same bed as me." She tightens her grip around me and and kisses my forehead. "I missed this too, but I need to go home. I gotta get ready for our date tonight." She says as she unwraps her arm from around me and gets out of bed. I sit up and pout. "Lia, mama is trying to leave us." "Noooo mama. Mama stay wif us." I look over to Y/N and see her looking at Lia then pick her up. "Mama has to go get ready to take mommy on a date. Can mama do that?" "Was that mama?" "It's when mama takes mommy out and we go do some fun stuff." "Can I come mama? I go have fun." "Its up to mommy." They both look over at me. "You don't want to have fun with Auntie Mani and Lolo? Auntie Lolo came here for you." Lia starts bouncing up and down and whispers in Y/N's ear. "Mama I no go with you. Titi Lolo here." Y/N laughs and nods her head.
The door busts open and in comes Leo, Chey, Mani, and Lauren. "MAMA!!" Chey and Leo yells out and runs to her. Lauren and Mani comes and sits on the bed next to me. "You know we heard you yell this morning right?" Mani says. "You did?" "Did you forget that we was here? It sounded like y'all were talking everything out." I nod my head and look over to Y/N and see her playing with the kids. "Yeah we talked it out. We're actually going on a date tonight so I need you guys to watch the kids for us." "A date? Isn't she dating Dani?" Lauren asks. "Nope. Shorty cheated on me with Dababy. It's her lost honestly. I'm just glad we never got into something so serious." "You guys weren't dating?" "I mean yeah we were dating but it wasn't nothing official. She was just a boo. She wasn't my girlfriend. Plus Chey didn't like her. She wasn't going to be around for long." She says as she shrugs and goes back to playing with the kids. "So y'all was together for a whole year and not be official? That don't make no sense." "Why commit to somebody officially if I never seen myself being with long term? That don't make no sense. Dinah is different. Shorty gone have a title. That's my wife that ran away." She says then laughs. We all laugh. "You had to bring that up?" "Dinah you did run away though." Lauren says matter of factly.
"Mama? Are you and Mami back together?" Cheylise asks. We all look over at her. Y/N bends down and faces her with Lia in her lap. "You want me to be with Mami?" She nods her head. "Yeah. I don't want you to be sad anymore. Mami, mama used to cry a lot. You gotta be with mama so she can be happy again." Cheylise says. "Maybe me and Mami can work something out." Y/N says and goes to whisper in her ear. "I wanna be with mami too." I hear her say. "Well if Mama plays her cards right then maybe we can get back together." I mumble and Y/N looks at me and smiles. "Alright kiddos, Mama has to go get ready and go home so she can handle some business. You guys have to behave for your aunties or you won't be able go to the aquarium tomorrow." They start to jump up and down and scream. "Now go wake up Titi Yonni and Tio Benny."
They run out the room while Y/N goes into the bathroom. "So a date tonight? You think you're ready for that? After leaving him?" Mani asks as her and Lolo are looking at me. I shrug my shoulders.
"I don't know. Im not going to rush this. I know Y/N isn't going to treat me the same way that he did. She's never thought of even putting her hands on me. I usually get nightmares about him putting his hands on me and the kids. Last night was the first time I haven't had a nightmare. I love Y/N, I do. It might take time for me to be able to want to do anything physical with her, but I know that I want her." "Dinah, did he... you know?" I fix myself so that my legs are crossed and look at both of them with tears threatening to leave my eyes. "Aww DJ." Mani says as her and Lauren both come to hug me. "He didn't, but he tried. I just always ended up finding a way out the situation and went into the twins room and locking the door so he couldn't get in." "D be ready by 8 I think I should be... why you crying D? Im coming back to come get you." I shake my head and look over at her and see her dressed in the same clothes from last night. Mani and Lauren get off of me and I get up and walk over to her wrapping my arms around her. "I'm not crying because of that. I'll talk to you about it later tonight. How do you want me to dress for tonight?" "Just dress however. Im going to set some stuff up at my house. It's too early for wanting paparazzi to be in our business. I just got asked to be in a YouTube video so I'm going to head home, get ready, go do that and then set up. I'll come pick you up after I'm done with everything. Sound good?" I nod my head and she smiles. Y/N wipes my face and hugs me and I return it back. "Whatever it is you're crying about is going to be okay. We gone get through it together." She kisses the side on my head and unravels from around me and I do the same. "Ill see you later?" I nod my head. "Get cute for me." She says and smiles as she walks over to Lauren and Mani giving them hugs.

Y/N POV
"Hey sisters! James Charles here and we are back with another video. As you can see we have a very special guest. She is one of the best rappers/singers/dancers out there. Hey sister Y/N " He says as he smiles at me. "Hey sisters. Thanks for having me here." "So as you guys know sister Y/N here is a fan of makeup, but she honestly doesn't need makeup because look at her fresh face." "James, I honestly started doing make up because of you. I wasn't always into make up, still not, but ever since I watched one of your videos I started to get more into it." "Awe thats sister sweet. I never would've thought that you would watch my videos. Today we are going to talk about your family, music, rumors, and maybe you're love life. So, let's get this started since I know your day is packed with different things." He says as he claps and fixes his set up.
"Okay so I had you bring your foundation and concealer since you obviously know your color shade unlike me. So first off we are going to start off with putting on your Fenty foundation here. I can see you're go to for make up is Fenty." "I honestly don't know nothing about makeup. When I first started I just used like eyeliner and stuff but when I started dating Dinah and I was around the girls, I started getting into it more. I was just always watching their makeup artists and then I started just doing full faces. as everyone knows my family is from the Caribbean. My dad is Jamaican and Dominican and my mom is black. I'm supporting another fellow Caribbean and I love Rihanna because who doesn't love Rihanna."
He nods his head. "I love Rihanna. Speaking of sister Dinah and sisters of Fifth Harmony. How do you feel about their hiatus and Camila's official split? You were there for both right? Now we are going to go in with the Fenty concealer." "I was there for Camila's split and kinda there for the hiatus. For Camila's split I feel like everyone seen it coming. I love all the girls and I support all of them and what they are doing. I just believe that in every music group that someone always wants or just breaks out the group to pursue their own music career. i personally seen the girls staying together just for the fact that I believed in the girls and I knew that they could've went far together if they had the right people behind them and in their corner helping them out more. As for the hiatus, I believe that it wont last long. I love all four girls, Dinah, Mani, Ally, and Lauren. I honestly wanted to work on a song with all of them. But if they don't get back together, I know that all of them will have successful music careers and that they will become everything they want to become." I say as he finishes up. Once he was done I looked at the camera and smiled. "This looks way better than when I do my own makeup. I should just book you as my makeup artist from now on. You wanna be my makeup artist for my next music video?" "Are you serious?" He asks surprised. "Im so sister serious." I say as I smile and smirk. "Oooou I like that." He says as he looks at the camera and claps his hands. "Okay. I understand where you're coming from. I love Fifth Harmony. I truly love what they stood for. I also seen Camila leaving soon too. Like honestly if you looked at all the music you can see they were trying to make Camila the star of the group. Going back to Sister Dinah, you have dated sister Dinah correct?" I nod my head as he grabs another makeup utensil. "You have two kids with her and an older daughter?" "So I have two baby mothers. Dinah being the mother of the twins Kalia and Kaleo, and my oldest daughter, Cheylise's mother." "What is it like balancing work with having three kids and a music career? I know having a music career and a family is different for everyone." He says as he starts to put powder on my face.
"It's somewhat easy yet difficult. Easy because I do get help from both of the mothers of my kids and their families. Difficult in a way because I'm a full time musician as well as a full time mom, but being a mother comes first definitely. The moment I wake up I'm thinking about my kids and my career. Both of my baby mothers have full time careers so we all try to manage and work around each other's schedules. Sometimes I have to bring my kids into work. Like some people don't know along with a singing career I'm also running a label full time as well. So some meetings I have the twins, but they're so well behaved which I'm thankful for. I wouldn't trade them for the world though. My kids are my everything." "You should bring them so I could do Sister Cheylise and Kalia's faces." I shake my head vigorously. "They can wear makeup when they get out of my house. Not while they still living under it. I'm teaching them that they don't need to wear makeup. Chey already walking around talking about she wants lipstick. So while I'm in the house I wear a bare face to show her that nobody needs makeup to be pretty." "As you should. How old are your kids?" "Cheylise is four and the twins are two." He nods his head. "Me and Cheylise was watching your video last week actually and she said that she wanted to be a YouTube star like you. I told her she could start when she gets older." "Awe tell sister Chey I would love to help her out. Although, I think you should start a family channel. You and the kids could vlog everyday and show everybody the things that you go through. You could prank the kids and even do challenges." He says as he looks at me.
"I don't think I'm cut for the YouTube life. Like I respect everybody that does it, but it isn't for me. Im not into everybody knowing my every move. Im not trying to say that I'm like wanted or something like that, I'm just not into everybody knowing my business. It's bad enough that people already think that they know so much about me because of rumors and he said, she said stuff. Also, I respect my kids privacy. A lot of my fans wonder why the twins or Cheylise doesn't have an instagram pages and the reason being that they are their own people and I don't believe in letting them have sponsors or be an ambassador to a company unless its their own because they're kids and I want them to be kids while they're kids." "I understand. This lifestyle isn't for everyone. I can't lie and say that its easy because I have been in a few sister scandals. And I agree on what you were saying about your kids and I respect it. What if one of them said they want to pursue some field of entertainment?" He says as he starts to do my eyebrows. "If it came straight out their mouth like a full sentence with no stutters, I'll let them do it. I'm not going to lie. I do think Cheylise might consider doing acting in the future while also being an artist. That little girl can sing, I'll show you a video afterwards. For the twins I can't really say much about Kalia because she just acts like Dinah so much. I would say she would be more of a model or fashionista because she loves dressing up and changing her outfit three times a day. Kaleo is more sporty. He makes me play with his little basketball set and play football. But like I said I'm not going to push anything on them. Whenever they choose they want to commit to it then I'll push it more on them." He nods his head. "Speaking on fashionista, a little birdy is tweeting that you are starting your own clothing line. Is that true?" He asks as he raises an eyebrow. I smile and giggle nodding my head. "Yes I am. As you know I'm labeled as a stud, although I don't like labels. But I'm making a clothing line for our 'label' of types of lesbians. The only thing is for jeans I will be selling them as men sizes, since I don't want to confuse us by making us to revert back to women sizes. But when going out and expanding to other stores I do want to have a special area for my brand so they ain't gotta through and dig deep through all the other brands. The shirts aren't going to be tight fitting but loose like men's shirts." He stops what he's doing and claps his hands and screams. "I love that idea so much. I never thought you would get into fashion. Everyone knows you can dress I mean look at you. We definitely need to take some photos afterwards. But I definitely will be buying in support of you. And I hope my fans will support you too. So we are about to change topics real quick. How did you get into music and how did it land you where you are today?" James asks as he starts to work on my eyes.
"Growing up was difficult. Getting bullied about my condition and getting thrown out of my house I never found a way on how to cope with it besides music. Music is my coping mechanism. I've always knew I could sing. It was never anything new. The first person that I could find out I could sing was my grandfather on my moms side. When I used to live in Texas, majority of the time I was living out there I was at his house. As you guys may know Normani is my cousin, so growing up me and Normani would sing together a lot when we had sleepovers. When he found out that we both could sing he got us into everything that he could get us into, church choir, music groups, and one time he even got me to sing at bingo night. He was one of my biggest influences on getting into music. Living on the streets after I got kicked out I used to sing on corners or even train stations trying to generate money which is how I got the job at the diner where I got discovered at. When I started working at the diner, every break that I had I was working on different songs. I was always writing music. I have so much unreleased music that I have recorded that I don't think I'll ever release. Music is something that just always been around me. If I didn't have music I wouldn't be myself." I say as I open my eye that he stopped working on. "So music is something that you just believe was in you?" I nod my head. "Funny story my parents met through music. My father, before I was born, he was a DJ. He was spinning at a club where my mother just so happened to be at and they met and from there that's when they got together." "Wow that's crazy. So you're from Boston? How is it out there? Because I'm from New York and as you know New Yorkers and Bostonians don't really like each other." I laugh. "Boston is honestly like and not like every other city. Yes, we have the dangerous part of the city where there's poverty and gangs and violence, but honestly Boston isn't that bad. We have good schools and it's historical. Boston is also a mixing pot of different cultures and races. I grew up in Elgeston. It's one of the more poverty cities in Boston where a lot of Spanish people live. Then I lived in Chinatown where there was mainly Asian culture and then I moved to Brockton which is just a mixing pot of everything. Boston is a beautiful city honestly. Most people sleep on it, but you should go visit and I can give you a personal tour if you." He smiles a nods. "I most definitely will take you upon that offer. Now to your relationships. It's out that you are dating sister DaniLeigh." He says as wiggles his eyebrows and I laugh. "Um... how do I put this without saying so much. Me and Dani are not together no more. I wish nothing but the best for her and her career. I hope she goes far and gets the recognition that she deserves. The time that I had with her I learned more about her as a person and it showed a true light on her character." I say as I nod my head to myself and look at James. "Im sorry to hear that. I thought that you guys looked good with each other. My favorite relationship of yours is with sister Dinah Jane. So now that you're single is there ever going to be a chance that you two will get back together? Because I thought you guys were end game." I giggle and close my eyes so he can finish the other one.
"Dinah is in a whole relationship with Odell, so I don't see that happening. But given that I was given another chance with her or even the opportunity to be with her again I would take it. I honestly and truly love Dinah. Regardless with what happened between us, I'll always have love for her. She's everything to me and will continue to be. When I proposed to her I planned to have her in my life forever. She means more to me than anybody would ever to believe. If I was given another chance I wouldn't mess it up. She'd be mine forever." I respond back getting too much into my head. "Awe that is so sister sweet. I hope for the sake of both of you that you guys get back together." I open my eyes and look into the camera to see the finish look. "James this looks sooooo good. I'm definitely booking you for my next video shoot. I love it. I don't want to take it off." I say as look back at him. "I would love to be a part of that. You know that it would be the first music video I've ever did make up for? Its going to be so much fun." He says as he smiles and claps. "What video is it going to be for?" "Oh just some unreleased music." I say with a smirk. "Ouuu sneaky I love it. But we've run out of time. I hope I get to get you back here and do another look on you. Okays that's the end of this video and ill be back with more videos." "Bye Sisters!" We say together. "Omg I can't believe I just shot a video with you. I can't wait to do your makeup for your video." "Its nothing I've been waiting to do this video since I started watching them. But I have to go I have some errands to run. Ill send you the video of Cheylise singing and the details of the video shoot." I say as I give him a hug. "Okay bye sister."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay Jared you got the house set up for me right? The video ran longer than I thought-" "Yes, Y/N the backyard is set up exactly how you want it to be. The chef is cooking and all you have to do is get here and get ready then go get Dinah and come back and start your date." He says in an annoyed tone. "Okay thank so much. I can't mess this up." "I know, I know. Don't stress yourself. You're going to get her back. Y'all are made for each other. Just don't say nothing stupid." "Okay okay. Im pulling up now." I say as I pull into the driveway once the gates open. I put the car in park and turn it off. I get out and head into the house locking the doors to the car. I go inside and the smell of food hits my nose. "It smells good." I mumble to myself and look down at my watch 7:06. I run upstairs and get in the shower without even looking at the backyard. Fifteen minutes later I get out the shower and get started on my hair. It takes me 25 minutes to blow dry and straighten my hair. I get dressed and put my hat on. I take a final look in the mirror pleased with my outfit.
Damn I look good. I look down at my watch to look at the time. 7:46. I grab my phone and my keys and rush out the door back into my car turning it on and zooming to the house. It takes 20 minutes for me to get to the house. Once I get past the gates I park the car in the driveway and getting out leaving the car running.
I fix my clothes and walk to the door. I ring the doorbell three times and I hear the patter of footsteps coming to the door. I hear the door unlock and open and I look down and see all three of my kids. "What did mama say about opening the door by yourself with out an adult?" "Don't open the door because somebody can take us because we cute." I smirk and nod my head. "Where's mami and your aunts and uncle?" "Titis upstairs. Uncle is sleep on the couch." Cheylise answers. I nod my head walking into the house picking up Kalia and she rests her head on my shoulder. "You tired baby?" She nods her head and sticks her thumb in her mouth. I walk into the living room seeing Benny knocked out on the couch. I laugh once I see fake lashes and lipstick on him. "Ayo bruh." I say as I tap him waking him up. "Hmm?" He says as he wakes and sits up and daps me up. "I like what you did to your face. You a bad bih now huh?" I say as I chuckle after my last sentence. "Ayo Yonni I ain't know we was both dating bad bihs?" I yell from the living room. I hear four sets of footsteps. The sounds of heels clicking down the stairs put a smile onto my face. "Lia mommy looks pretty tonight?" I ask as I look at her and then back at the stairs and my jaw drops.
"Do I look bad? Should I change into something else?" I shake my head fast. "N-nah y-you loo-ok just- damn." Was all I could get out. I guess they were right when they say things get better over time. Don't get me wrong, Dinah was always fine. But damn two years did good on her. It don't even look like she had twins to be honest. I hear Dinah giggle. "So is the date here or are we leaving?" She asks. "Um nah I-it's at my- Matter of fact come on." I say as I mumble the last sentence. "She got her speechless. We did our job girls." I hear Yonni say. I give her a look. "Mommy pwetty." I hear Kaleo say. Dinah smiles and picks him up and kisses his cheek. "Thank you baby boy. I'll be back later okay?" He nods his head and she puts him down and kisses the girls foreheads and I do the same.
I grab Dinah's hand and lead her outside to the car. Once we reach the passenger side, I open the door for her and she kisses my cheek before she gets in. Once she's inside I close the door and jog over to the drivers side and get in buckling up and opening up the gate. I back up out of the driveway when the gates open and head towards my house. "You look gorgeous by the way. I mean damn. You just... too damn fine." She blushes and reaches over and kisses my cheek. "Thank you. You look good yourself." "Thank you DJ." I say as I come to a red light. I look over at her and smile. "So what are we doing tonight?" "You'll just have to wait and see. You're going to love it though." "Is it something that we've done before?" I give her a stale look as I start to drive again. "Now, why would I do something that we've already done? This is basically another first date. I gotta impress you if I wanna keep you." "You want to keep me?" "Dinah, if I didn't I wouldn't be doing all of this. Matter of fact I wouldn't have bothered of even spending time with you. You're not going anywhere this time around let me start with that. If you got a problem with something I did, tell me so I can fix it. I said something to you that you didn't like, I'll apologize. I make a mistake? I'll fix it. I'd rather us communicate about how we feel about things than just let shit slide until we can't take it anymore and we just want to up and leave. You leaving me on our wedding day taught me that yeah I need to change and prioritize better. I kept putting you on a back burner when it's not supposed to be like that. I know before when I was younger I didn't know what I want, but now I know for a fact what I want. I want you. And only you. Not Dani, not Queen, not Ally, nobody but you, Dinah Jane Hansen. If its gone take 10 years for me to prove it then I guess I going to be around for 10 years. Either way you're mine forever. You can't leave this time." I look over at her once I hit another red light and I see her smiling. "Even if it was to take 10 years, you're in my life for forever. We have two kids together. I can see that you've changed Y/N and I like it." "You know I thought about what you said about talking to someone too. I had Yonni setup an appointment with a therapist for next week. I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for me. Im tired of comparing myself to him. I want to let it go, I do. I think if I let it go I'd be more happy. Im not saying that I'm not happy now because I am, but I'd be more happy with myself. I just feel like then I would probably won't be as on guard with my feelings when it comes to you. Like I won't be as less confident about myself and who I am if I do." I say as I turn onto my street. I turn to look over at her and see her nod her head. "I'm glad that you're doing this. I think that it's long over due. I know you talk to everybody a little bit about what you went through but at the same time you need to get it off your chest. You just need to let it go." I nod my head agreeing with her as I pull up in front of the gates and put the code in. I wait for the gate to open and drive into the driveway and put the car in park turning it off. I get out of the car and walk around the passenger side opening the door for Dinah and helping her out. She mutters a thank you and holds my hand.
We walk to the door and I open it letting her inside first. Once I'm inside I close the door behind me and lock it. I lead her through the house to the backyard. I slide the back door open and I hear a small gasp leave Dinah's mouth. "Y/N! You did this all for me?" Jared and them did better than I thought. I gotta pay him some extra money.
"This is so cute." "Come on, we cant let the food get cold." I grab her hand and lead her to the table. Once we get to the table I pull her chair out and turn around to her camera recording. "D what are you doing?" I say with a smile. "Documenting today." "Make sure you don't post that you already know it's going to be out that homeboy got arrested." She nods her head as she finishes recording and walks towards me and kisses my cheek before sitting down. I push her chair in and take the covers off of the trays of food.
"Y/N!" "What? I know this isn't the ideal food for a date but I know that its what you like I didn't want to be typical and have steak or something. Plus this is for you and if you like it, I'll try it." she stares at me with a pout and wipes her eyes. I walk over to her and hug her. She hugs back and looks up at me. "I'm not gonna lie, this is the most thoughtful thing you have ever done besides coming up with the twins name. But Y/N you don't eat this stuff and there's two bowls of it. You tryna call me fat?" I let out a chuckle and shake my head. "I just said that I'm going to try it D. I eat sushi, it can't be much different than that. And the only thing that is fat on you is that ass." I say as I let go of her and sit down in my seat. "Y/N/N, you only eat cooked sushi. This is raw like fresh out the ocean." "So you mean to tell me that this ain't cooked?" She shakes her head with a giggle. "Imma kill Jared." "But I thought you made this?" "Nope I hired somebody to make it. Listen we gone risk it all today. If I get sick its your fault." She laughs. "How is it my fault? Did you hire a person that knows how to make it?" "I believe so. I know it wasn't your mother, in which I should've asked." I say mumbling the last part.
I look to see Dinah already eating. "Just because you're not sure doesn't mean that I wasn't hungry. You should try it though. It's really good and fresh." I watch as she puts more in her mouth and I look down at my bowl and grab the fork. "I don't know why you're so scared. The kids eat this stuff all the time. All three of them actually." She says with a shrug. "They all do?" She nods her head and takes another forkful into her mouth. "You feed this to the babies? They're only two years old." "They were eating it at one and half. Chey was eating it at two and a half too. It's really good for you. Can you just try it?" I let out a deep breath and scoop some up on my fork and put it to my mouth looking up at Dinah first to see her recording me. "Come on just eat it." I open my mouth and taking a bite of the food. I close my eyes and I can still see the light of the flash on my eyelids. I start to chew the food. "So what do you think?" I swallow it and open my eyes smiling after taking in the taste. "It's not that bad it's pretty good." I say with a smile before taking another forkful. She squeals and stops recording. "I'm glad you like it. I've started to learn to cook so maybe I can make it for you sometime." I widen my eyes and stop chewing and swallow. "You're cooking now? Since when? I remember always having to cook." She lets out a giggle and her smile starts to fade away.
"I had to learn how to cook when I lived by myself. And then Odell told me that I had to learn how to cook because he couldn't be with someone that doesn't know how to cook. So I learned from my mom and Aunt Drea when she's out here sometimes." She puts her head down and I shake my head and lift her head up with my thumb and index finger. "Hey, it's gonna be alright. I got you now and I won't let anyone hurt the kids or you anymore. I promise. Okay?" A tear falls from her eye and I get up and make my way over to her and squat in front of her and she throws her body on top of me and starts to sob. "I called out for you... and you never came." She sobs into my neck. I rub her back and hold her tighter. "I'm sorry Dinah. If I had known I would've came to save you. If I had known that he was doing that to you I would've been came and saved you. I'm so sorry babes." I let her cry for about 10 minutes before she stops.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't be crying about him when I'm on a date with you." She says as she sits up. "Hey, don't be sorry. I'd rather you cry to me than someone else. You can trust me. I promise to you Dinah that I would never put my hands on you and you know this. I promise to make you forget about him ever doing that to you guys by treating you exactly how you're supposed to be treated." She nods her head and wipes her eyes. "I just know my makeup is messed up." I chuckle and shake my head. "It might be messed up but it doesn't take away how beautiful you are." She blushes and smiles. "What did you do today?" She asks as she starts to eat her food again taking a sip of her wine. "I got my face beat by James Charles." I say with a smirk and her mouth opens wide. "That's not fair! That's why your make up looks so much better than mine." I laugh loudly. "So you're saying my make up never looks good?" She shakes her head fast. "No. I'm saying it just looks like it was beat to the gods. That's who you had an interview with?" I nod my head as I eat more of the food.
"Yeah it was pretty good. He wasn't so invasive I guess you can say. He told me that I should start a YouTube channel with the kids. I said no because honesty after the whole break up I've been good with not being in the blogs and them not knowing my life. It feels good to be honest. Like yeah there's occasional paparazzi everywhere I go, but at the same time it's not like there's a new story up about me or people really watching my movements since. The most they know is that I was dating Dani." "I know we shouldn't get into our exes but what made you even date her?" I lift an eyebrow and sigh. "She kinda talked me into it. She told me that I needed a distraction from you." I say with a shrug. I hear her giggle and I look at her with an eyebrow raised. "What?" "You needed a distraction from me?"
"I mean I did wait for you for two years and didn't date anybody. My mind was stuck on you. And you was with someone else. Having Dani around did kinda help me distract myself from you. But then every time you come around to drop the kids off it's like it would always hit me. You're not mine no more. Like you'd come around looking so damn good. Even when you came in just sweats and a hoodie with a messy bun. You just looked absolutely stunning and it was like I got deeper in love with you without knowing. Like just sitting here now I know that I love you way more now than I did before." I said honestly looking into her eyes.
I grab her hands from across the table. "I'm mad at myself that it took all this for me to truly understand how much you mean to me. You mean so much to Dinah that I can't really explain it because then we would be sitting here forever. I'm truly in love with you, Dinah Jane. I couldn't see myself being with anyone else." I feel the pad of her thumb wiping away tears I didn't know was falling. She leans forward and brings me into a short love filled kiss. "I love you too, Y/N. So much." She says as she leans her forehead on mine smiling at me. I smile back and peck her lips.
"I just have one question though and please don't lie to me." She says as she sits up straight. I nod my head signaling for her to go on. "Did you guys ever have sex?" My eyes widen but I relax them taken back on what she asked me. "To be honest, I've only ever given her head. And that's was honestly a mistake. If you want to know if it happened recently, the answer to that is no. That happened about four to five months ago." I said truthfully. She raises an eyebrow and relaxes it. "How did it happen accidentally?" "We went to her parents house for a cookout and I was drunk off my ass because her uncles kept making me take shots and then yeah it just happened when we got back to the crib." I say with a shrug. "Buy a new mattress." She says with a serious face. "What?" "Get a new mattress. I want to take this very slow this time. That means I will live in the house that I'm at and you live here. We can occasionally sleepover each other's houses. The one thing though is that I'm not sleeping on the same mattress that you ate her out on. That's a no." I nod my head because I kind of understand her point. "Aight I will. You wanna pick it out?" I say with a smirk. She giggles and shakes her head. "No you can pick it." I nod my head.
"You ready to go back home?" I ask her and she nods her head. "I miss our babies. And I know Kalia is annoying the hell out of Lauren. Leo is probably all over Normani." "Yeah he has an unhealthy obsession with her." I say as I get up and walk to Dinah to help her up. I grab and intertwine our fingers. "I love you Bebe." "I love you too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mama!" "Mami!" We both feel bodies connect with our lower half. "I pick Cheylise up as Dinah picks up Leo. "Where's Kalia?" "Shes sleep with Titi Lolo." Cheylise answers. I look over at Dinah and see Kaleo laying his head on Dinah's chest with his eyes closed as she's swaying her body humming. I smile and look back at Cheylise. "Is titi Yonni still here?" She shakes her head. "She left after she cook." I nod my head as me and Dinah walk into the living room. I look at the couch and see Lauren laid on her back while holding Kalia as they both sleep on the couch.
"They had a long day?" As Dinah let's out a chuckle. Normani nods her head. "Yeah. Your daughter didn't want to bathe or sit down. She was mostly running around the house as much as she could before we ate and decided to watch a movie. She fell asleep before we got halfway through. And you know Lauren was the one chasing her around because Kaleo was just on me the whole entire time." I chuckle and nod my head. I put Cheylise down and walk towards Lauren and take Kalia out of her arms and give her to Dinah so she could put the twins down in their bed.
After Dinah leaves with Cheylise following behind her I look over at Lauren. I shake my head and sit down on the chair next to Normani. "How was the date?" "It was good. I tried poke bowls. They're actually pretty good you know." She laughs and shakes her head. "I know they are. So are you and Dinah gonna be end game now?" I look at her and give her a say smile. "I hope so. I confessed to her my feelings. I just hope she stays, you know?" "Well if you keep doing what you're doing now, she's definitely not going to go nowhere." I nod my head. "I think you got it this time Y/N. Just don't do anything to mess it up." I shake my head. "I'm not going to. I don't want to lose her. I can't lose her. Come on because I'm tired and I'm ready to cuddle with my baby." I get up and go to Lauren and pick her up bridal style. Normani turns off the lights, locks all the doors and turn the security system on as I walk upstairs. I lay Lauren in her and Normani's bed for the moment before walking out and hugging Normani and telling her goodnight.
Once I reach the master bedroom I see the light in the bathroom on. I walk to the bathroom and see Dinah brushing her teeth. I start to do the same. Once we're both done, I turn off the light as Dinah is already in the bed. I get In the bed and lay down on my back and Dinah automatically moves over and lays her head on my chest. I kiss the top of her head. "I love you Dinah Jane." I feel her place a kiss where my heart is. "I love you too Y/N." She wraps her arm around me. "Goodnight Bebe." "Goodnight my love."
