The next morning Ajania woke up and remembered last night. She touched her lips with her index finger and shivered from the sensation.

She knew Olive would be making everyone pancakes, but not today. She hurried to get up before everyone.

Looking at the clock, she read 6:30 so thirty more minutes before everyone would get up.

Once downstairs she begins to set the food and things up.

Cal was the first one to come down Upon seeing her. He walks behind her and embraces her from behind.

Ajania shivered when Cal kissed the top of her ear.

“ Hey, good morning, beautiful,” his deep voice sent shivers down her spine.

“ Good morning to you too, lovely”.

She turned around and kissed her soulmate. The kiss was passionate, their lip moved in sync.

Pulling away after a few minutes,  Cal kissed her neck and hugged her tighter.

Ajania bit her lip and almost moaned from his touch.

The two pulled away and went their separate ways

No one knew they were doing this, of course, the two had feelings from the past.  But this was different and they didn't know how to break it to the family yet.

After breakfast was done, Ajania got herself ready for work.

She did not want to go today, but she needed to work to help the Stone family.

She made eye contact with Cal before leaving and she was gone.

< Flashback:  A few years earlier >

“ What's going on? What happened?” 16-year-old Ajay Brookes said.

Grace walked calmly to the young teen and placed her hand on her shoulders.

“ Is she dead?” Ajay screamed at the top of her lungs.

Ben walks over and shushes the female.

“ Hey, hey hey.  It's okay.  Calm down, honey”.

Ajay wiped away the tears that fell from her face, Grace hugged her.

“She is not dead, she is in Rehab. She relapsed”.

That hurt the brown-Skinned girl deeply.  She thought her mother was through with drugs.

But it seemed it wasn't.

“ No,” Ajania whispered, sliding to the floor.

Grace gets on the floor and pulls the young girl up.

15-year-old Ajay Brookes let out a scream as it felt like the inside of her stomach was ripping apart.

She clenches the person's hand next to her. “ Come on honey, one more push”.

The Brown-Skinned girl gasps and cries as the baby slides out of her with ease.

She sobs as the doctor takes the baby from her hands and cleans the baby.

“ It's a girl.”

“ A girl.  How sweet”.

The female doctor then looked at the Biracial teen.

“ What will you name her?”.

Ajay bit her lip and sighed.

“ Faith”.

“ A beautiful name”.

“ I know ”.

As the weeks went by cal and the Stone family were getting more and more anxious.

Ajania was not worried.

She has fate for them.

Cal met a young woman named Violet and Ajania never felt jealous in her life, but this was one of those moments.

She knew how her boyfriend was, and not others.

Cal was, luckily, not a cheater.

But she couldn't say the same for others.

Right now she was outside and on the balcony of her house.

She was always at the stone's house where she forgot she even had a home.

A sneeze left her mouth as pollen season was near.

Ajania groaned and stood from her garden. One of the reasons why she hates being outside.

This is why.

“ Going in the house. No thank you”.

She walks into the house and the living room, so she can watch her latest episode of The Kardashians.

Propping her feet up, she grabbed the remote and turned the TV on.

Before long her phone rings. 

Grabbing the phone Ajania looked at the caller ID and smiled.

Placing the phone to her ear, she spoke.

“ Hey, love. How are you?”.

Immediately Cal spoke.

“ Hey, Angel. Sorry to bother you. But I need you”.

“ What is it?”.

A sigh.

“ Well, that's the thing
