Chapter 18*~

“That’s fine guys. Thank you so much.” Aaliyah smiled as she shook her head and hung up a few pictures of the kids on the way down the stairs. They had bought a new house in Miami beach, not so far away from where they both had lived years ago when Catalina was born. She felt like it was going back to the past, but not bring the past with them this time. She sighed as she reached the kitchen and smiled at the familiar faces. “Hey you all.”

“Hey Li.” The men all looked at her and smiled.

She looked at Lance and JC who were sitting there with Justin. She opened the fridge and looked for a bottle. She grabbed a bottle full of milk and put it in the microwave for a few minutes and then tested it to see if it was hot before she picked up Andra who was smiling. “Someone’s in a good mood.”

“Yeah every time you bring her something she’s in a good mood.” Justin smiled and looked at Andra who was quietly sucking on her bottle. “You’re spoiled honey.” He watched the look on her face and laughed.

“She said that she doesn’t care.” Aaliyah laughed and started towards the door. “I’m gonna go put her down for a nap.”

“Alright.” Justin watched as she left and looked at JC who was smiling widely. “What’s with the look?”

“She seems to be in a good mood.”

“And....”

“She usually isn’t that happy unless...”

“You know what, you are so nasty.”

“Well Justin, we knew JC was a pervert.” Lance shrugged. “You just learn to ignore him.”

“Right.” Justin nodded.

“So what’s up with Samantha? I heard she was really pissed when she heard that you all were moving.”

“Yeah, well she’ll be alright. Knowing Sam, I don’t think she’ll give up that easily.” Justin sighed. “Her and Aaliyah are just like a never ending war.”

“I heard Britney came to see Li while she was in the hospital.” Lance looked at Justin. “What was with that?”

“You know Brit and Li became call lovey when me and Li divorced the first time.”

“Don’t you kind of worry about them?”

“Nah, Britney knows when Enough is enough. Sam on the other hand, just hasn’t learned her lesson yet.”

“Yeah well, I’m sure she has and she just won’t let go. You know they say losing your first love is your hardest.”

“Yeah, well she better learn to let go soon, or else I feel like something dramatic will go down.”

~*Later that night*~

Aaliyah slowly opened her eyes as she looked over at Justin who was still up reading. She didn’t know why he was still up but she figured that she would stay up while he was. “Hey what are you reading?” She watched as he looked over the magazine to look at her with a smile.

“Oh so you’re awake now.” He kissed her forehead. “Nothing just some article on Sam.”

“Sam, Sam?” She watched him nod and laughed. “Who would want to do a article of Sam?”

“Li you are so mean.”

“What? I’m serious!” Aaliyah laughed and looked at him. “Seriously though, what did she say?”

“I think Aaliyah is a very nice person, even though she doesn’t like me, it’s ok though because I think that every person should have a second chance.”

“I know that little bitch ass whore did not say that. She’s the one who started all of this with me!” Aaliyah shook her head and looked at him. “You can’t believe that crap can you?”

“I don’t know Li...I’ve only seen her being kind to you, and you well....”

“You know what Justin, forget you.” Aaliyah flipped over and looked over at the wall. “I’m going back to sleep.”

Justin grinned and shook his head as she went back to sleep. She could be so stubborn sometimes and she knew it, she just wasn’t going to accept it.”
