Chapter 9: Devyn
“You look beautiful, Mommy,” Carsen, my five-year-old daughter, said to me.
“Thank you, baby,” I replied as I finished my makeup.
“I think you should wear eyelashes. They will really make your eyes pop,” Ryanne suggested.

After kissing Devyn last night, we ended up talking nonstop on the drive home and almost until daybreak in front of her house. The chemistry between us was extremely strong. I was definitely feeling Devyn. I was just waking up and needed to get moving, so I could pick my daughters up. I wanted to spend a little time with them before I had to go to work. Speaking of which, I needed to call their mother. It was when she was supposed to pick them up, but knowing Skylar, that could change at the drop of a dime.

Nervous would not be adequate enough to describe what was going on in my mind when I ran into Kadeer at the movie theater. There we both were with all of our kids. I had to admit that it was way sooner than I wanted us to introduce our kids to each other, but it seemed as if karma had other plans. When I heard Kadeer call my name and turned to see him and five little faces staring back at me, I could have dropped dead. When Kadeer suggested we all see the movie together, I said “yes” before my mind really processed what I was agreed to. We walked into the movie theater. I saw the stares a

Hearing Devyn tell me that she shared the same feelings as me did something to me. If we hadn’t been at the movie theater with all ten of our children, I would have kissed her just like I did on our first official date. Patience was key, though. Devyn would have time alone again soon. She was slowly becoming a part of my routine and my life. “I’m glad we’re on the same page,” I said while returning the same smile she was giving me.

It took me a few moments to calm my nerves when I got to my SUV. I was never one to fight over a man, but I wanted to wring Skylar’s neck. She ruined what could have possibly been between Kadeer and I. Oh, and Kala needed to be put in her place. Part of me blamed Kadeer for her behavior because he spent so much time trying to be the good guy that he was not putting his foot down when it came to Kala and her antics. I had only spent a few hours with her, and I knew that she was not being disciplined like she should have. I didn’t play that when it came to my kids. They knew where their place was, and they stayed in it. Sterling and I did not play that.&ld

As soon as I sent the text to Devyn, I immediately regretted it. It’s not that I didn’t want to see her because that was furthest from the truth. Just from the short time of knowing Devyn, I could honestly say that she was what I needed in my life. She gave me something to look forward to. For years, my life had become one big routine of work, my children, and sleep just to start it all over again the next day. I wasn’t complaining one bit about my girls. After meeting Devyn, though, I realized all this time that Zion was right. I was a grown man, and it was OK for me to have a woman in my life. The best thing about it was that Devyn wasn’t just any random woma

Waking up to strong arms around me was a familiar feeling. I relaxed for a moment and enjoyed the feeling until I realized the arms that were making me feel so safe at the moment did not belong to my Sterling. They belonged to my Kadeer. My Kadeer, I thought to myself. It could have been the wine or the high from my orgasm talking when I agreed to give things with Kadeer a go, but I knew I couldn't back out because Brena would kill me, and Kadeer had already proven that he wasn't going down without a fight. No matter how much I tried to

“OK, Mr. Roman. We’re finished here. The process may take a while, so expect to hear back from us within a few months,” the friendly loan officer informed me. “OK, sounds great. I’m looking forward to hearing from you,” I replied, returning the smile as I shook her hand. “Have a nice day,” she said.

I felt like Kadeer’s girls being taken away was my fault. I felt so guilty that I tried to break up with him again, but he was not having it. Kadeer assured me that I was not to blame for Skylar’s childish behavior. I still felt bad and wanted to do everything in my power to help him. I just didn’t know what that was yet, but it was sure to be good. I couldn’t fathom going a day without my kids, so I knew Kadeer was going out of his mind. “Dr. Parks?” I heard, Dr. Cherry Moreau, head of the English department, call out my name. I was in my office, getting settled
