As for Stacy. Well, she found a handsome guy..... But not rich. Her parents disowned her when she said that she found her true love who indeed was a black guy. The race that Stephanie once rejected. Now Stacy lives in New York with her kids and her husband in a small town while Stephanie and Gerald had to shift into an even smaller house. Kezr call it karma but I call it, 'there actions coming back to them'.
"Mama!!" My attention broke from the book that I was reading when I heard Lexy's voice calling me.
I rushed inside and sighed a sigh of relief when I found them all happy and uninjured, sitting on the kitchen counter beside Kezr.
Shaking my head, giving Kezr a kiss on his forehead, I went to sit beside Isaiah.
My two children handed me the bouquet and smiled at me, "Happy wedding anniversary Mama and daddy" I looked at Kezr and he smiled at me.
"Thank you my sweet little babies. I love you both. So much." I kissed both of their cheeks and they giggled and sat back down.
"Hey buddy, how was school?" I asked while pulling Isaiah onto my lap.
He smiled at me and turned to straddle me. "It was good mama. The teacher gave me a golden star because I completed my assignments on time."
"And who should you thank for that?" I turned to Kezr who was wiping his mouth with a napkin.
Isa got off my lap and rushed to hug his father. He hugged Kezr's leg and Kezr patted his head, "Thank you daddy. I love you."
"Your welcome buddy. Daddy loves you too." Kezr smiled at him and picked him up settling him on the counter beside a very angry looking Lexy.
"You don't love me daddy?" Lexy asked while making a very cute looking pout which had Kezr on his knees.
"No darling. Of course not. I love you with all my heart. I love you both. Equally." Kezr said while caressing her cute little hands in his bigger ones.
She pouted and retrieved her hands back from his hold, she shook her head. "You can only love one person. That's me daddy. No one else."
Kezr raised his eyebrows and asked, "Not even Mama?" I dramatically gasped and slapped Kezr's chest causing him to chuckle.
"Nah-uh" she shook her head eagerly left and right.
"Oh- well. That's an issue." Kezr said standing up and keeping his hand on his hips.
"Lexy. If he doesn't love me than that means he loves some other woman. Who'll be your next mama." I said with a playful smirk and looked at Kezr to see him shaking his head and rolling his eyes.
Lexy gasped and don't get me started on Isaiah. He jumped off the counter and bit Kezr's hand.
"Daddy! You can't do that to mommy!!" Lexy snapped and got down from the counter and on top of Kezr who was on the floor right now trying to get out of the two little monster's hold.
"She's joking! Zelli tell them!!" Kezr screeched while laughing when they started to tickle him.
"Nah-uh, toodles." I giggled and ran outside to read my book knowing Kezr would be fine...... Or not.
"Daddy! I want the white one." Lexy said pointing to the white coloured backpack.
"Daddy! I want the red one." Isaiah said pointing to the red coloured one.
"Want it!"
"We want it!!"
"We will get it! Say it with me Lexy!"
"Yes yes. Me and Isa want it! We want it!"
They started chanting even louder and louder gathering attention of every single person here in the grocery shop.
"Jesus! What did your mama give you kids today?.... We will get it. But first we need to buy some more things... Okay?" I said taking out my phone to check the list that Zelli sent me.
"Okie daddy." Lexy said bouncing while sitting in the cart.
"Okay." Isaiah said following his sister.
"Okay kids. First thing on the list is spinach-"
"Ewwwww!"
"No! No! Dad no!"
I heard them groaning and scrunching their nose with a grimaceful look on their faces.
