was starting to believe that maybe everything that’s been going on lately was a sign that maybe he should grow up and start taking care of his responsibilities likes a man. It wasn’t right to play with people’s hearts and this was something Quincy was coming to understand lately. He lay there in the bed cuddled up next to Zariah. Ever since she told him the news about their unborn child he couldn’t help how excited he was feeling lately. Even though he wasn’t financially ready and fatherhood seemed scary the thought of having a mini me running around brought a smile to his face.
    “Can I be honest with you about something ?” Quincy asked Zariah.
    “What’s up , bay?” Zariah asked focusing her attention fully on the TV. Not that anything special was on that could catch her attention; she just couldn’t bring herself to look at him straight in the eye ever since she told him about her false pregnancy. Love was starting to take her on a turbulent ride. She always heard the saying that love can make you do some crazy things but she never knew love would have her so far gone…
    “To be honest , I was scared at first of having a child but ever since you told me….having a future with you is all I can really think about every day now.”
    A perplexed look came into Zariah’s eyes as she slowly looked at Quincy and turned the TV on mute. “Q what are you trying to say?” She asked giving her full attention to him now.
    Quincy placed his hand on her thigh and looked her deep in her eyes to show his sincere. “Z I know I’ve put you through a lot for my own selfish reasons. I’ve played with your heart so much because of the fear of really settling down and being content with waking up to someone by my side for the rest of my life. I’m only 24, still trying to get my life in order so commitment was so far from my mind; but it’s time for me to grow up and take care of responsibilities and realize that in life you can’t plan out how you want things to go. We are a prime example of that.” His comment caused Zariah to chuckle a little bit.
    “ So what are you trying to tell me Q?” Zariah asked.
    “I’m saying no more games . I’m ready to fully commit to you. I mean that one hundred percent,” he replied. It seemed like forever that Zariah was waiting to hear him say that but now that the words finally came out of his mouth, it gave her a funny feeling, the feeling of guilt. Instead of her listening to her conscious that was telling her to just tell him the truth, she just displayed a pretend smile and said, “I’m glad that we can finally be on the same page together.” With that being said, she leaned in and gave him a kiss. This person that she was becoming, someone who lied and schemed to get what she wanted was something new for Zariah. She was torn in between wanting to tell the truth and saying fuck it why can’t I play with his heart like he has done mine…

    The next Monday rolled around pretty quick. Ava was chilling in the living room at Jaidyn and Pierre’s house. Frustration was overwhelming her mind as she was reading a text from someone who wanted to get rid of her although the message wasn’t processing in her head yet. She wouldn’t be able to let go unless she made Jaidyn take the place of the only girl that has had her heart since high school. Until then, she hasn’t seen or heard the last of Ava. She sighed deeply and texted back if that’s what you think, you thought wrong.
    “Wow I didn’t know you would be up so early,” Jaidyn said as she came into the living-room causing Ava to jump and toss her phone under a pillow.
    “Girl , you scared me,” Ava said as she placed her hand over her heart trying to calm her heart rate down.
    “’I’m sorry . I should’ve announced myself I just didn’t think you
