Leah's POV
Saturday
1:10 pm
I walk into the living room to see Zaidan and Ivy asleep on the sofa.
I walk over to the sofa and look down at them.
Zaidan eyes open then he buckles my stare.
"I...I was just getting the remote to turn down the tv because it's too loud" I lie.
I turn to walk away and I feel him touch my hand.
"Come here" his voice low. The sound of his voice sends a shiver up my spine.
I stop in my tracks and turn to look at him.
"I was about to make you something to eat" I tell him looking away from his stare. Even tho we're going over to his aunt because they're having a little welcome home party for him and food is gonna definitely be there.
Why am I nervous right now ?
Breathe Aaliyah.
"I'm talking to you..." he says. His eyes low.
I look at him and stay silent.
He fixes Ivy on the sofa then gets up after.
"I don't want anything to eat" he says looking at me.
"Okay"
He moves my hair from my face then closes the space between us.
"Look at me" he says and I finally meet his stare.
He looks me dead in the eyes and trails his finger down my lower lip then tilts my chin up as he leans in to kiss me.
"Oh I'm very sorry I was...just letting you guys that I'm about to leave now" the keeper says sounding nervous.
Zaidan facial expression changes then he sits back down on the sofa.
"Yeah see you tomorrow" I tell her with a smile then she leaves.
I look down at Ivy to see her eyes now wide open.
"Hey mama" I say before picking her up from the sofa.
"I'm going to get her ready so we can so we can leave soon" I tell Zaidan and he nods.
I get up to the bedroom and pick out something for her to wear.
"Your so pretty" I say to her poking her stomach while she lays on her back.
She picks up my phone from beside her and puts it in her mouth.
"No...Ivy'
I take it from her hands and she starts crying.
Oh lord.
I finish getting her dressed then make my way down to the living room to see Zaidan laughing with his aunt.
"Oh my god...I can't handle this much level of sweetness anymore" she says as she spots me and Ivy.
I walk over to her and hand Ivy to her.
"Hey beautiful" she says now looking at me.
"Such a beautiful family and I can tell you guys are really in love the way you guys spoke about each other"
"He just needs to propose now even though he told me once he didn't want to ever get married before you guys started dating...I know you must have changed your mind" she adds looking at Zaidan smiling.
This is news to me.
"Easy nuh aunty" he says chuckling.
"All you used to say is women are wicked and you never ever want to get married"
She doesn't hold back anything.
That's definitely something Zaidan would say out of his mouth.
"That was just my mentality back then" he says.
"Well I can tell you have grown and changed alot" she says.
"Are you ready ?" she asks me.
"Yeah are you taking us ?" I ask.
"Yes I'll take you since Zaidan isn't ready as yet"
"Okay let me just strap her into her car seat"
I take Ivy from her hands and walk over to the car seat with her.
As I put her down into the car seat she starts fussing.
She literally hates the car seat.
"You have to go in there mama" I say to her.
I try to strap her in again then she starts to cry.
"I'll carry her" Zaidan says walking up to me.
He picks her up from the car seat and she immediately stops crying.
I can tell he's gonna spoil her already.
I kiss her on her cheek and she turns her head and lays on Zaidan's shoulder.
Wow.
"Oh so that's how it is Ivy" I say and Zaidan's aunt gets in a fit of laughter.
We leave the house minutes after and get into the car.
I tried to put Ivy in her car seat again but she still wouldn't let me.
"So how did you and my nephew meet ?"
"I first saw him at Gina's salon then she invited me to her party and that's where we actually met"
"Oh"
I wasn't even gonna talk to him after I realized that he was well known on social media because I felt like it was gonna cause too much drama in my life.
I felt like he was one of those types that just only wants me for sex.
But here I am and now we have a whole child together.
The car comes to a stop then we get out and make our way up to the front door.
Once the door opens I see Gina , Zaidans mom and some other people that I don't know.
"Hey Leah" Gina says walking over to me and we hug.
"Where is my son and my grandchild ?" Zaidan's mom asks me.
"She didn't want me to strap her into the car seat so he will be coming with her" I tell her.
I spot a tall dark skin man walking over to us.
"Hey , I'm Zaidans uncle....its good to finally see you in real life" he says holding out his hand out for me to shake it.
"Oh , nice to meet you" I say before shaking his hands.
Is this the uncle that kept the party in Jamaica ?
Minutes after Zaidan came and they shared the food.
My eyes find him sitting on the couch with Ivy doing airplane with the spoon to feed her.
So cute.
I feel somebody touch my arm and I look around to see Jada and my mom.
"How yuh suh lie ?' I ask Jada chuckling.
"We actually should be leaving tomorrow" my mom says.
She and my mom should be leaving to go back to Jamaica today which Jada told me so I wasn't expecting them to be here.
I'm going to miss them.
"Oh you came" Zaidan mom comes over saying.
"Yes , I just came" my mom says as they walk away.
"Where is the food ?" Jada asks me.
"Yuh love yuh belly enuh"
"Girl I know , stop reminding me" she says and we burst out laughing.
"Yuh give him piece yet ?" she whispers in my ear.
I chuckle and roll my eyes.
"Girl tell me you did...." she adds smiling.
"No , we haven't found the right time as yet...and I think we should be going somewhere for a vacation" I tell her and her smile drops.
"Unuh really a wait pan dat ?...mi know him back oil up"
This girl is something else.
Zaidan's POV
5:24 pm
The jeans that she's wearing show her curves perfectly.
So fucking sexy.
That's all me ?
Not to mention her face.
Such a beauty.
I'm still obsessed with her like the first day I laid eyes on her.
Still can't believe we have a daughter.
"What's on your mind ?" I'm distracted by my mom's voice.
Deven memba mi did a talk to har.
"Nothing just chilling"
"Oh because I thought you zoned out for a second"
"Where is Ivy ?" she asks.
"She's in the room sleeping" I tell her still looking over at Aaliyah. She's talking to her friend Jada.
She looks at me with a concerned look on her face.
"Ahh I see now....." she says with a smile playing on her lips.
"What is it ?" I ask looking at her confused.
"You're admiring your girl...." she says and I laugh.
"We missed you so much...I promised you that I will be there for her until you beat this case and that's exactly what I did...I've gotten close to her over the past months and I genuinely love her , please don't mess this one up son" her voice calm.
"Yuh mad mum" I say then chuckle
Yuh mussi wah mi mad.
Mi nuh feel nuh way fi say mi muss mad if shi lef mi.
"I'm very proud of you , I love you so much" she says stretching her hands open.
"Love yuh to mum" I say before hugging her.
Once mi girl , mi old lady and mi daughter alright wah else mi coulda want inna life.
I'll do anything to make sure my family is okay.
Even if it's to kill for them.

6:20 pm
"Aren't you ready ?"
I jump and turn around to see Zaidan.
"You scared me" I say holding my chest.
"Yuh still a move shakey to dis day" he says grinning.
He licks his lower lip and stares me down.
This man is dangerous.
"You're the one always creeping up behind me"
He puts his hands on the counter behind me locking me in.
"What happened to the dog I bought for you ?" he asks.
"Oh we had to send him back because he was peeing everywhere" I say. Since Ivy is crawling now we can't have him around.
"Oh"
He chuckles and shakes his head.
"Thank you for getting him for me tho"
"Anything fi yuh mi don...a you mi seh enuh"
"I'm sorry for distracting you guys but Ivy is up" Zaidan's aunts tells us.
"Can you please bring her come for me" I say as she turns and walk away.
"Guess where I'm taking you ?" Zaidan asks wrapping one arm around my waist.
I look at him and raise a brow.
"I don't...." I bite down on my lower lip.
"Dubai" he says.
"Oh really ?" I ask excitedly.
He nods.
I smile and wrap my arms around his neck.
We're going to Dubai !
