Jade Smith's Point of View:

After a long day at work, it was finally time for me to go home. For the entire day, I had been thinking about the mysterious man that had entered the restaurant. He stayed for at least an hour doing only God knows what. I'm embarrassed to even admit that I was watching him the entire time. It's like I couldn't pull my eyes away.

That's how enthralled I was by his aura. He was also so very attractive to me which was a first. I don't have anything against white men but I've never been so attracted to one before in my life. I've always dated persons of my race but I found myself wanting to get to know him and his body as well. My face grew red at the thought but thankfully the darkness of my skin hid my blush.

I didn't try to take his order again but I would often look over at him to find him staring right back at me and like the innocent girl that I am, I would resort to blushing and avoid going anywhere near him because of the embarrassment that I felt from being caught. He was a fine specimen of a man but I was supposed to be working not ogling the customers.

I suddenly wished I had met him outside of work but with the way he looked I probably didn't stand a chance with him. I wasn't even sure if he liked women of color or if he hated black people which is why he kept staring. But his eyes would be filled with hatred and not curiosity right?

Stop it, Jade! You can't be thinking like this. Luckily my shift was over and I could finally leave and not stare at him anymore. Trying to take my mind off of him I quickly made my way to the back room to grab my bag. After putting in the combination code I grabbed my bag and took off my apron stuffing it inside, closing the door behind me. As I was about to take a step my phone started to ring startling me. I rummaged through my bag in search of the phone. I really do need to organize my bag. It was a mess inside there.

Then again I could have sworn I switched that thing off.

"Hello," I answered the person on the other end of the phone.

"Hey J," Christy answered...well more like squealing into the phone.

Oh no...something's up, the only time she calls me at work and squeals like that on the phone is when she wants something. I don't know why I didn't check my caller ID. I was hoping she would have forgotten all about my invitation to the club but as usual, luck wasn't on my side. If only leprechauns existed I could beg for some of their luck.

"What do you want now?" I asked wanting her to get it over and done with. Hopefully, if I don't mention it she won't either.

"Why do you assume that I want something?" she faked a cry into the phone. Sometimes I wonder if she takes me for a fool. She always wants something. I don't mean to make it seem as if she takes advantage of me because she doesn't, she's just very extroverted while I'm not.

"You always want something when you call me at work," I replied making my way to my car, bidding the other waiters and waitresses goodbye along the way "spit it out already"

"I need to go shopping and I want you to come with me," she paused as if waiting for my reaction.

I guess I couldn't be surprised that that's what she asked, I should've known she'd need an outfit for tonight and I do too for that matter.

I pulled out my car keys, pressing the unlock button. After throwing my bag in the passenger seat I looked around the back to make sure that no one was in my car before I settled in my seat and locked the door. Finally, I was in my personal space and I could relax. That man really had me on edge. I then focused my attention back on Christy.

"You want me to leave my job... to follow you to go shopping of all things... when I could be cuddled up at home in my bed watching N*****x?!"

By the end of my rant, I could tell that she was nervous and at a loss as to how to deal with me right now. It was funny to hear her fumbling for words.

"Yes," she whispered nervously waiting on my reaction.

"Great I'll be there soon," I shrieked hanging up the phone.

I bet you all are wondering just what the hell happened a while ago. It's nothing really I just find it incredibly funny to mess with Christy, especially making her nervous. One time I got her to start crying just because she asked to use my phone and that was when I first moved here and like the crazy child that I am I just stood there laughing my ass off. I'm sure when she signed on as my best friend this crazy attitude wasn't what she expected. But it doesn't matter anyway cause she's stuck with me now. Best friends forever, chick's before dicks, hoes before bros, all that jazz.

Grinning like an idiot I drove home to talk to or more like laugh at Christy. It's become my all-time favorite pass time. It also drives her nuts which is a plus in my book. She forces me out of my comfort zone and makes me try new things and I help her to be tough and have the right mentality to face the world. We balance each other out which is a great thing.

Sometimes I find myself wondering how my life would've been if I never liked her pic and if we never spoke to each other. I guess I'll never find out.

    Jade Smith's Point of View:I was over the moon about being allowed to go to Jamaica. I know it's weird that I had to get permission when I was a grown adult but I didn't mind. As long as I kept my baby safe I'd ask for permission a million times over. We had landed at the airport and exited the plane.I was waiting on Nate who insisted that he'd carry our luggage. Luckily for him, I didn't bring a lot of clothes with me in the first place so he didn't have much to carry."Are you excited about the wedding?" Christy asked me. I had already forgiven them about the whole moving-in fiasco but I haven't given Nate an answer yet. I was going to say yes but I'd just let him stew for now."I'm really excited," I clapped "I can't believe I forgot but with all that's happening I'm not surprised"She chuckled, "your memory has always been shit"I rolled my eyes and played with a strand of my hair. It was around seven in the evening and I was starving. I was craving pizza at the moment and I cou

    Nate Masters' Point of View:I felt terrible about overwhelming Jade. She's been ignoring us for the entire plane ride and I couldn't stand it. At one point I was going to try to speak to her but Christy advised against it. She had her headphones in and her eyes were closed."It is best to just let her be for now," Christy spoke sadly "we don't want to upset her anymore"I sighed, "I feel bad for assuming her answer and getting her mad""It's my fault as well," she leaned back in her seat "I pushed her""You did"She stared at me but didn't comment on my statement because we both knew that I was right."Do you think she'd really change her mind?" I asked quietly.She took a deep breath, "Look Nate she loves you she might be mad right now but I promise it'll be okay"My lips lifted slightly at her words, "thanks Christy""By the way did you know a cousin of hers is getting married?""Yeah of course Jade told me a while ago but ever since she got pregnant it's like she's having memory l

    Jade Smith's Point of View:I looked through the window of the jet and took a deep breath. My mom told me that the wedding was in a month and that it would of course be in my home country, Jamaica.I was debating whether or not I should actually attend because of all the drama that's been going on with Brian and I would also like to see my gynecologist before making those kinds of decisions. There were two beds on this jet and Christy and Joseph were currently occupying one of them, leaving Nate and me in our seats.I turned to face Nate who was busy working on his laptop. I angled my body back to the window and let out a soft sigh."Is there something wrong my love?"I looked at him, "there's nothing wrong babe""You've had this despairing look on your face ever since I came back from the cockpit""No, I haven't"He gave me a pointed look, "yes you have"I huffed, "fine...I have"He shut down his laptop, "okay you have my full attention...tell me what's bothering you""Nothings bothe

    Jade Smith's Point of View:"Joseph, Christy we got to go"I listened as Nate yelled for them to come down so we could leave. I was currently holding Bonnie as I stared down at her. She wasn't at all bothered by the noise Nate was making which was a blessing in itself.Holding her made it even more real for me that I was going to be a mom soon. I had a baby growing in my stomach and he/she would be born soon. They will call me mom and Nate dad. As I looked at Bonnie I suddenly wished that the baby was a girl but of course I would be over the moon if it was a boy. Honestly, as long as it was healthy then I will be happy."Nate?"He walked over to me and gazed down at a now sleeping Bonnie, "do you think our baby is a girl?"He responded immediately, "I have no idea love""Would you prefer to have a girl or a boy?" I asked him as I was not satisfied with his previous answer.He looked deep in thought before he finally answered me, "I will be happy as long as it's healthy but I would wan

    Jade Smith's Point of View:"Well maybe we can both win," I said as I hooked my hands around his neck.He smirked as he lazily trailed his hands down my body, "now why would I agree to that?""Maybe because you love me""You got me there love," I moaned lowly as he smashed his lips to my own. I willingly open my lips for him allowing his tongue to play with my own.I trailed my hands over his shoulders and down his broad chest to rest against his stomach. My fingers gripped the edge of his shirt and I pulled away from the kiss to pull it off of him. As soon as his gorgeous body was in sight I couldn't help but stare. He was all corded muscles and his six-pack was to die for. And to know that he was all mine gave me a rush like no other.My gaze went down to his happy trail and a naughty thought came to mine. I looked up at him again to find him already watching me."Can I try something?"He looked confused but nodded, "yeah of course""Okay I'll be right back," I kissed him sensually

Joseph offered Cole and Ana to stay here with the baby which they eagerly accepted. I wouldn't have let them decline the offer anyway. My motherly instincts have been running on overdrive as I felt the need to constantly be by Bonnie's side.I looked over at Christy whose grin rivaled my own, "she's a beauty alright"I sighed when Ana entered the room, "it's time for her feeding"I pouted, "fine, I'll see you later Bon Bon""Seriously Vampire diaries?""It's not my fault Damon is so hot""Who's hot?" Belle asked with a teasing look as she, Liam, Joseph, and Nate entered the room."Yeah please tell us all," Nate snickered.I rolled my eyes, "for your information I was talking about Damon from Vampire diaries""Oh I have to agree with her there," Belle smirked, "have you seen those eyes and that body..."Her words trailed off as Liam glared at her, "oh
