"It's you" She announced softly

"So I did do something?" I asked thinking back, trying to figure out what exactly.

"You're doing everything right" She confessed leaving realization to stand in my mind.

"And that scares you?" I asked but it sounded more like a statement, nonetheless, she still gave me a small nod to confirm my words.

"What's your fear when it comes to us?" I asked softly.

"That you'll hurt me, lie, cheat, change" She replied her voice small and I could tell each word she said held a memory.

"I won't, and I know that's hard for you to believe because of past experiences but I'll prove it, we can move at whatever pace you want to,"

Riptide

"I didn't know Jazmine could play?" Tiana announced referring to the game of basketball she was currently taking part in with Jason, Darrelle and Dantae. 


"Yeah she used to play in high school," I replied remembering the stories she had told me and the videos Spain had shown me. 


"What can't she do?" Renae asking jokingly and I smiled actually wanting an answer to the question as well since to me she seemed absolutely perfect. 


"Mommy," Aria called out and I followed the sound to see her running towards me. 


"Yes baby," I answered and she held onto my knees her light brown eyes meeting mine letting me know she was about to request something. 


"Can we get ice cream?" she asked confirming my thoughts. 


"Can I get ice cream after I come home?" she asked knowing she would be spending the weekend at her father's house. 


"Yes baby," I agreed and she smiled happily.
