"Who wants to help me with the cake?" I asked the kids.

"Me!"

"No me!"

Ariana and Kai ran in the kitchen, "I wanna help mommy!" Kai whined.

"No!" Ariana said with a attitude. "Mommy I want to help."

"But you always help Ari, I never get to help!" Kai cried.

"It's okay girls." I said quickly. "You both can help, Ariana you get the cake mix and Kai I want you to stir it when she puts the mix in the bowl."

"Okay mommy." They both smiled.

They did what was told as I stirred the Chicken Alfredo that was on the stove. Once I was done, I helped Ariana pour the right amount and added vanilla extract inside the mix.

"Kai it's time to stir." I instructed.

Kai began to stir up cake batter and I took off my cooking apron, I walked into the living room and saw Chres and Jacob playing 2K14.

"No fair daddy!" Jacob cried. "Your cheating!"

"A master never cheats." Chres laughed.

Chres shot the ball into the hoop and Jacob threw the controller across the room. "I quit!" He shouted.

I grabbed the controller and put it on the couch,I grabbed Jacob and hugged him. "It's okay baby boy, you'll win if you keep trying."

"It's not fair mommy." He explained. "Daddy always win."

I chuckled and gave him back the controller. "Try again, one more time baby."

He slowly grabbed the controller, I went over by Chres and thumped his ear. "Ouch babe what was that for?!"

"Let Jacob win." I warned.

He chuckled lightly. "Or what wife?"

"Or you won't get none for a whole week, husband." I growled.

He widen his eyes and put the controller down, allowing Jacob to win.

"Mommy look!" Jacob smiled. "I'm winning!"

"Good job baby!" I encouraged.

I went back into the kitchen and saw that the girls were having a hard time with the cake. I sighed deeply. "Girls just set the table, I'll finish this dessert."

They washed their hands and started to set the table, I put he rest of the ingredients inside and put the cake in the oven. After that, I made everyone's plate and put them on the table.

"Dinner is ready!" I shouted to the boys, a couple seconds later Jacob and Chres came into the kitchen, sitting in their chairs. We all said prayer and began chewing up our food.

"So kids." I started. "How was school today?"

"Good." Kai smiled. "I got all my spelling words right on my test."

I gave her a high five. "Nice job! What about you Ari?"

I could tell she was hiding something, she didn't want to say it but I had to get it out of her. "Ariana?" I said. "How was school?"

"I got detention tomorrow." She said honestly.

Chres stopped eating. "Ariana Sapphire August, again?" She nodded slowly. "Why?"

"Because Melody tripped me." She whispered. "She did it on purpose but she told Miss. Ballard she didn't mean it!" She cried.

"So what did you do?" I asked.

"Hit her in the eye with a crayon." She mumbled.

I rolled my eyes. "Really Ariana? I'm disappointed in you."

She looked at me. "Why?! She started it!"

"But you didn't have to finish it Ariana!" I yelled. "You know better, you've should have told the teacher."

She didn't say anything, she just looked down at her food with a frown. She began picking with her chicken, "Sorry mommy." She whispered.

"It's fine Ari." Chres said. "We just don't want you to get in that kind of trouble again."

She nodded. "Yes sir."

"So, do you guys wanna know what happened with me today?" Jacob asked.

We all nodded. "Spill the beans baby bro." Kai smiled.

She glared at her. "Im not a baby Kai, I'm a child."

"Same thing." She laughed.

"Anyway." He started. "Mrs. Simmons said that I have to either take Saturday school or torturing 3 days out the week to improve my grades." He said.

"What?" Chres said. "Lil dude, what's wrong with your grades?"

"Nothing!" He exclaimed. He bit a piece of noodle. "She doesn't like me."

"Like were actually going to believe that." I scoffed. "Chres I have to work on Saturdays and I know your schedule is super busy and-"

"Look babe I'll go talk to his teacher tomorrow." He said cutting me off.

"Alright."

"Mommy." Ariana started. "I think you should check on the cake."

"Cake?!" Chres gasped. "Is it my favorite?"

I chuckled and walked toward the oven. "Chocolate?"

He walked towards me. "You know I like chocolate." He whispered into my ear. He began grabbing my waist and rubbing his member on my butt, he kissed my neck multiple times before the kids interrupted.

"Get a room." Jacob said sounding disgusted.

We all laughed and enjoyed the rest of our night.

My alarm went off at exactly 6:30 am. I got out of bed slowly and turned it off, I went in the bathroom and did my hygiene. After that I took a 15 minute shower and put on all my girl necessities. I put on my favorite lace black Victoria Secret panties and searched through my closet to find something to wear. Soon enough, I put on my creme, fitted, long dress and my white and gold pumps. I curled my long, black hair and put on a glitter headband and my diamond earrings. I put on my necklace and my makeup and grabbed my briefcase.

"Babe?" I heard Chresanto's croaky voice say.

"Yes baby?"

"I love you."

I smiled lightly. "I love you to." I kissed his cheek and left the room, I went in the kids room and kissed them as well. I went downstairs and heard barking. "Bella it's just me." I whispered. She immediately stopped barking, recognizing my voice. I grabbed a banana from the kitchen and left the house.

Yn and Chresanto's House

I woke up and turned off the alarm of my phone. I waited 5 minutes before getting out the bed, I did my hygiene and put on my grey sweatsuit.

I went in the girls' room and turned on the light. I began clapping my hands repeatedly. "Ariana and Kai, wake up."

Kai whined loudly and sat up. "Daddy still tired!" She cried.

Ariana jumped out of bed and stretched. "Stop complaining Kai goodness." She said with a attitude. She put her long, curly hair in a sloppy ponytail and looked at me. "Goodmorning daddy." She smiled and slid pass me, walking in the bathroom.

"Daddy can I stay home today?" Kai asked. "Please?"

I laughed lightly. "No ma'am, you have to get your education. Remember?"

She groaned then nodded. "Yeah I remember."

I kissed her cheek and walked out her room. I went in Jacob's room and saw that the tv was on. I rolled my eyes and turned it off. I turned on his lamp and looked at him sleep peacefully. "Little man!" I shouted.

He jumped up and looked at me. "Yes sir?"

"What did I tell you about leaving your tv on at night?" I complained.

"I'm sorry dad." He got out of bed slowly. "I'll turn it off next time."

I have him a high five. "Nice job, now get ready for school."

I walked out his room and went downstairs. I went in the kitchen and grabbed 4 bowls and 4 spoons. I grabbed the frosted flakes cereal and began pouring them in all the bowls. I waited until they came downstairs before I added the milk, just so their cereal wouldn't be soggy.

A couple minutes later they all rushed downstairs. "Jay stop pushing." Kai nudged.

I sighed and poured the milk. "Kai you complain and whine all the time." I said. I gave her the bowl. "You know that?"

She frowned. "I know now." She whispered.

We are our cereal, then 15 minutes later we walked out the house. I pulled up at Lincoln Elementary in less than 10 minutes and we all hopped out of the car.

I dropped Ariana off at class first, then Kai, then lastly Jacob. When I went to Jacob's class, I waited to talk to his teacher.

"Mr. August?" A voice said. I looked at the lady, she looked oddly familiar. She was a darkskin lady around my age, a nice smile and a nose ring. "I'm Mrs. Simmons."

I shook her hand. "Nice to meet you Mrs. Simmons."

"So." She started. "What brings you here today?"

"Well yesterday Jacob told me that he needed to improve his grades by taking Saturday school or tutoring, I just wanted to know wassup with his grades." I explained.

She walked by her computer and I followed her. She began typing up something. "Well Jacob has a D in Math and English."

I looked at the computer, I couldn't understand their grade system. "Are you sure? Because Jacob is smart."

"Are you sure?" She asked. She looked at Jacob. "Jacob sweety, what's 36 divided by 6?"

He shrugged. "I don't know Mrs. Simmons!"

She looked back at me. "See." She smiled. "Not smart."

I scoffed. "He's only in kindergarten, you can't be asking him questions like that!" I looked at Jacob. "Lil dude, what's 4 plus 3?"

"Easy dad." He laughed. "7."

I looked at Mrs. Simmons. "See. Your teaching this guy 4th grade curriculum."

"Ole' Chresanto, your so clueless huh?"

I looked at her face then at her engagement ring. "Excuse me? That's funny how you know my first name but I don't know yours."

"Oh you know." She said. "Trust me, you know."

I began walking away slowly towards the door. "Uh, I gotta go to work."

"Just look at me in the face before you leave Chresanto." She growled.

I looked at her closely then my whole face expression changed. "D-D-Desiree?" I stuttered. "What the hell are you doing in Tampa?!"

"I have a small condo 30 minutes away." She smiled. "So how have you been? Over these past 5 years?"

"Why are you failing my child?" I asked.

"Because!" She yelled. "You know why, I wanted you Chres and you knew it! But no, you just had to be with YN or whatever her name is."

"So you thinks it's okay to fail my child?" I asked. "I'm telling the administrator on you!"

She chuckled. "You sound like your son, a snitch. You can't tell the administrator , I'm the most nicest and sweetest teacher here. They wouldn't dare fire me."

"Then I'll change his class." I said quickly.

"Can't." She smiled again. "I'm the only kindergarten teacher at Lincoln Elementary."

I sighed deeply. "Desiree , this is crazy. This s**t between us happened over 7 years ago, you don't have to punish my kid."

"I'm not punishing Jacob old cute self." She looked at him. "He's looks just like you."

I shook my head. "Your a selfish, evil,little b***h who-"

"I can improve Jacobs grades." She said cutting me off. "Under one condition."

"What's that?" I asked.

She came closer and began whispering in my ear. "Come over at 12 tonight and we'll do what I've been wanting to do for years." She slid a piece of paper in my pocket.

"Hell no!" I semi yelled. "Desiree I'm married with a family!"

"You don't have to if you don't want." She said. "I'll just put Jacob in special need classes for the rest of the year."

"You wouldn't."

"I would." She said back. "Anyway, I have to teach. See you around 12, right?"

I thought for a moment. "Right." I whispered.
