I know what l said but some part of me was afraid that IF he's not drafted for the NFL and then he realizes that myself and Kayla shut the door for him to get that chance. Praying was a once in a while thing like everyday but not every hour like l was doing today.What IF they give a preposition that says no baby , no girlfriend with baby maybe we can work it out.

I always wanted to anywho cause it felt like a need to worse more Kayla would be more than thrilled to."Can l have one more week or days with El and then you can have me to yourself." I say.It took him long to understand what l said cause l was quite sure he got the first part and ignored the rest probably expecting a no from me.And then he smiled after digesting the whole sentence."So this will be the last week apart." He confirms."You got it right." He takes my face into his hands and places a kiss on my lips and Kayla chose to take that exact moment to get it and she shouts "Ewww." She closes her eyes.We both laugh at her as she climbed the bed peeping to see if we were done. She had her arms glued to her ribs probably expecting us to tickle her .
