✨12 Years later✨

Y/N

I was out in the city doing last minute Christmas shopping for the twins. Heaven and Nevaeh were literally my world and they were growing up before my eyes. It has been five years since Johnny and I broke up I wanted marriage and he wasn't ready. It was funny because it was almost the same situation with Reed and Susan but we had kids involved.

Since we've separated I haven't really been dating like that my focus was just more geared towards the girls and my work. I was a billionaire now so at this point I've made it career wise but feel like I fell off when it came to my love life. Johnny is still Johnny he would flirt with me and then take the girls with him but lately within the past two years I've been giving him the cold shoulder. If it wasn't about the girls then I didn't care really.

Besides Johnny moved on so why keep bringing up the past by flirting. We were cordial just not on the same time we used to be. He tries to be but me personally I feel like I wasted time, and now he was building something with his new girl so I didn't want to be dragged into anything or disliked by the woman he was dealing with. All it would do is cause tension between the girls and her and she had one time to come at the girls side ways.

I walked into a store immediately seeing baby clothes and faintly smiled. I honestly wanted another one and I was thinking about getting an IVF. I finished my shopping going to check my mail box before proceeding to the top floor where my pent house resided at. I walked in seeing the living room

untouched meaning the girls was still out at dance practice or they're getting out and Johnny's bringing them to the house.

I went upstairs to my room.

I got undressed and took a nice warm shower. About twenty minutes later I came out my bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body. I dried myself off, placed some lotion on then got dressed in a pair of sweats, a cropped cami along with a pair of slipper boots.

I hid the gifts went to the kitchen

beginning to cook dinner so it was ready for the girls hopefully by the time they got home.

I got through most of the Meal placing shrimp I just seasoned into the pan as I seen the girls walk through the door.

"Hey girls, How was dance?" I questioned. "It was good" Heaven said "go get cleaned up dinner will be ready in a minute" I said as they came over to me and I hugged and kissed them both before they went upstairs to their rooms.

My phone started ringing as I seen Johnny calling. I picked up picking him on speaker continuing to cook. "Hey" I said "hey-what are you doing ?" He questioned. "Cooking dinner" I simply said singing my noodles for the Alfredo. "Oof Don't burn the building down. "Shut up" I said as we shared a small laugh. "I'm just calling to make sure the girls got in safe and that you're okay" He said.

"Yeah they're in safely and I'm great. Their recital is tomorrow night at 7" I reminded "yes I know. You act like I miss their performances" he said as I rolled my eyes. "I only missed two or three because of work and I explained that to them so Don't start" I warned. "Whatever you better be there tomorrow night" he warned. "Get off my phone before I reach through it sing choke you" I simply said hearing him chuckle.

"What are you making?" He asked "Cajun Salmon and shrimp Alfredo" I answered "and no you're not coming over to get any nor are you going to get some" I simply said. "I haven't seen you in months why are you being like that?" He questioned "I'll see you tomorrow" I stated. "So you're just going to ignore my question?" He questioned. "Johnny I don't have to feed you if i I don't want too that isn't my responsibility" I simply shrugged.

"You dating anybody?" He asked as I just hung up on him continuing to cook. The food was soon done as the girls came downstairs and I made us plates going to eat.

"Can daddy come out with us tomorrow night after the recital to dinner?" Nevaeh asked. "Yeah baby" I agreed and her and heaven got excited making me giggle. "Why are you smiling like that?" I asked as they smiled and shook their heads.

I was getting ready for the girls recital as they were at the "American Airlines Theatre" preparing for their "The Nut Cracker" recital. I finished doing my hair

Beginning to do natural, matte glam on my face. I lined my lips with black liner then placed some lip gloss on my lips.

My phone buzzed as I seen Johnny texted me he was coming up to the door. I threw on my robe going to the door trying to beat him before he rung my doorbell over and over again.

I opened the door before he could ring the doorbell. "Ha" I said then finally looked up at him as he looked down at me.

"You got a beard now?" I questioned confused.

"hi to you too" he said as I stood to the side letting him in. He sat the two bouquets of roses on the coffee table in the living room.

"Wow this all you?" He questioned looking around "uh yeah" I said as he looked at me and handed me a bouquet of roses. "What's this for?" I asked "you're still the mother of my children" he said as I faintly smiled and took them. "And you probably don't see flowers like that because you're single" he teased as I immediately pushed the bouquet back into his chest walking off.

"Such an ass hole" I simply said walking upstairs. "Aw come on I was just playing" I heard him shout as I closed my room door behind me. I started getting dressed and once I was dressed I sprayed some perfume on my body then looked at myself in the mirror fixing anything that was out of place

"Y/N COME ON!" I heard Johnny shout as I rolled my eyes. I went downstairs as I grabbed my keys and phone. "You look nice" I heard Johnny say as I ignored him. "Come on" I simply said turning off all the lights and heading towards the door.

"I just gave you a compliment" he brought up as we walked out the door and i closed the door behind us locking it. "Don't talk to me for the rest of the night" I expressed as we went downstairs in the elevator. "It was just a joke" he said looking over at me as I didn't pay him any mind

The elevator doors opened and we walked into the parking garage. The plan was to ride with Johnny but he was pissing me off. "The car is right here. Where you going?" I heard him ask. "Y/N!" He semi shouted as his echo went throughout the parking garage. "Get in the car" he simply said as I turned and got in the car.

We rode in silence as I was on my phone texting Sue. She was stating her and Reed weren't going to make it because they were still getting everything ready for the Christmas party tomorrow night. "Sue and Reed aren't coming tonight" I simply said "you seem upset about spending time with me" he teased as I just looked out the window. "You're such an ass" said shaking my head and laying my head on the window.

"What really is your deal? I give you roses it's a problem, I give you a compliment that's a problem too what is the problem?" He asked stopping at a red light looking over at me as I sat up off of the window I was laying on.

"You open your mouth that's the problem. You're not my boy friend nor my husband s-." I said rolling my eyes. "Yeah and Who's fault was thats Y/N?" He asked. "It was six years- I'm not explaining shit to you" I simply said. "That's fine we'll talk later he said driving off. "For what? You have a girlfriend and I'm talking to someone" I brought up looking out of the window.

"So you're talking to a guy?" Johnny asked "yes" I simply answered. "Why-" he started off as I just cut him off. "Stop" I said just wanting to be left alone.
