"Please don't throw me in the water!" Carmen yelled as Steven had her up in the air ready to throw her in his pool.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't throw you in there?" He asked her.

They have been in the house for two days now. They did found out how India condition was, and she would be able to go home soon, the doctors wanted to keep a close eye on her for one more night. As for the baby. Things are looking up for her too. They giving her India breast milk since she wouldn't take the other milk they provided at the hospital. Derrick and India still haven't thought of a name yet.

"You my friend that's why." Carmen hold her chest.

"I thought Derrick was your friend." Steven said.

"Well he is, you-" Carmen was thrown into the pool. "So not cool." She said when she got from under the water. Steven was laughing at her holding his phone up. "You bet not be snapping me either." Carmen glared as she got out the water.

Steven backed away from her as she walked up on him. He put his phone on the table he have in his back yard by his pool. He took off running. Carmen went after him. He jumped in the water, and she went in after him.

"Stop running, I'm going to get you back. So come here!" Carmen yelled as she swim to him.

"No, Never!" Steven yelled. 

Carmen got out the pool and walked to the soda can she had. She was tired, she still need to think of way to get Steven out the pool so she could push his ass back in the water. He was not getting off that easy. Not by a long shot. He was still in water, floating on top. Carmen should jump on him in the pool. Hmm that is exactly what I'm going to do. She thought as she place her soda can back down. She walked to the edge of the pool and looked at him. His eyes were closed as he had his hands locked behind his head.

"Don't even think about doing what you thinking about doing." He said to her. Carmen mouth dropped. How the hell he knew she was behind him? "I'm always aware." He chuckled.

Carmen shrugged her shoulders and jumped on top of him anyway, sending them both down in the water. Steven came up coughing as Carmen patted his back.

"It's okay, get it out, get it out. There you go." She said as she continued to pat his back and he tried to get his coughing under control.

"I'm.going.to.kick.your.ass." Steven said to Carmen as he coughed.

"Guess I should start running huh?" Carmen asked him.

"Hell yeah." He said harshly, she quickly exit the pool and grabbed the towel.

Steven can't believe she really jumped on him like that. He really wasn't expecting that at all. That caught him off guard. He going to get her ass back. He grabbed a towel and wrap it around his waist. He walked in his house.

"Carmen your ass can't hide in my house, I know this house inside out!" Steven yelled. Silence. Steven went to find her.

Carmen sneak up on Steven and jumped on his back.

"You couldn't find me if your life depended on it. I was hiding good." She said in his arms.

"Where was you hiding?" He asked her.

"Behind the chair in the living room." She said as he carried her upstairs in the bedroom. She jumped off his back once they gotten upstairs

"I could have easily find you there, dummy." He said. "Damn I left my phone outside. Oh well. Hmm what you cooking tonight?" Steven asked Carmen

"I want hot wings." Carmen said from the bathroom.

"Nobody want no damn hot wings." He mumbled. "Okay, and what else?" He asked.

"Umm fries I guess." Carmen said.

"Hell no cook Mac and cheese." Steven yelled back to her.

"You want that, you cook it." She turned on the shower.

Steven wanted to walk in that bathroom and give her a piece of his mind, but he didn't. He didn't want to scare her up or anything.

He walked downstairs to the other bathroom in the house. He still wanted her to cook the mac and cheese for him. He will get his way. He love when she cook for him. She's actually the first female he know who actually can throw down in the kitchen other then his mother. India could barely cook, it was passable, but it wasn't all that.

After his shower he walked out and saw Carmen in the kitchen with a bag of chicken out and a box of Elbow macaroni on counter. He tried to hide a smile, but it was impossible. She was about to make it home made, that's what he like. Carmen looked at him with a scowled and he straighten his face up quick.

"You should cook, I'm always cooking." She said to him.

"You know, my mom always said a way to a man heart is his stomach." Steven sat down on the counter.

"Thank God I'm not trying to get your heart then." Carmen said to him.

Ouch. Man that hurt a real nigga. Steven thought in his head.

"You sure do know how to hurt a man feelings." He said to her.

"Sorry, just being honest." She shrugged. Liar, Liar big fat liar! She shook her head of the throat.

"I'll be back, I'm going to get my phone." Steven said to her and walked away from her.  He walked outside and grabbed his phone. He had over twenty missed calls. He shook his head. All from his booty call hoes. Hell he will hit them back up later. See who he can get into tonight.

When he walked back in the house, he thought about something. Sage! He needed to call his mother. He dialed her number and waited for her to answer.

"Hello." Mama Lorraine answered the phone.

"Mama, how Sage doing?" He asked as he sat down on the couch.

"Who?" She asked like she didn't heard him.

"Sage, the girl we have in your basement." Steven said.

"Man shit, why didn't you been call me about that damn girl. I forgot all about her." Mama Lorraine said.

"Seriously mama, I'll be there after I eat, then I have to go to trap to get my money. Something feel off to me." Steven said.

"Don't take your damn ass to trap Stevie. Leave that shit alone, for awhile. Continue laying low. Have them meet your somewhere with your money." Mama Lorraine said.

"Fine, I'll do that, but let me go. Go check on that girl." Steven said.

"Okay, I love you. Tell my daughter I love her too. Bye." Mama Lorraine said.

"Bye, love you too." Steven hang up. He walked back in the kitchen, and received a text message from his mother, the text said that Sage was still alive. She had to shove some chocolate down her throat to wake her up though. Steven shake his head.

Carmen knew she probably hurt Steven feelings when she said what she said earlier. She didn't mean to, but it was the truth. She wasn't looking to fall in love with anybody. At least not now. She still trying to get over nightmares that her mother fiancée is coming to get her. Sometimes it seem so easily to fall in love with Steven though, but he was a man hoe. She wasn't looking for that kind of man either.

"After we finished eating, I'm going to drop you off at my moms house and I'm going to go out." Steven said to her.

"Yeah okay. We all know what you going to do." Carmen rolled her eyes. She don't know why all of sudden she wanted to slap him in his face.

"When you think the food going to be done? I'm about to go get dressed." Steven said.

Carmen just rolled her eyes and nodded. He will never kiss her again. She don't know where he be putting his lips when he be with them girls.

They sat down to eat in silence. Carmen thought for sure they would have stayed home like they did before and just watch TV and chill. She guess not.

"So you going  to give me the silent treatment all night?" Steven asked her.

"Nothing to say. Have fun." Carmen said. Steven just shook his head. "You want to ride with me, while I go handle business?" He asked her.

"Ewww, no that's nasty. I'm not going with you and you going to have a booty call." Carmen turned her lips up at him.

"See that's where you wrong. I'm going to handle work business." Steven shook his head.

"Oh. Well yeah I'll go."
