Lost in His Love 3 by Shantay Page B

grand opening but he still made it. His hand was a little tied up back in Oakland and he was running out of time. He missed his flight that he was supposed to catch earlier so he had to take next the plane flying out. He was dressed in a Tom Ford linen suit with a pair of matching loafers. He came straight from the airport to support Kaylen.
    “You look nice,” Kaylen said fixing his tie.
    “You look beautiful,” he said pulling her closer to him.
    Ice originally thought that when he showed his face at the party Kaylen would be ready to fight with him but he was happy that she wasn’t on any extra bullshit. She seemed like she was cool but he knew they needed to talk later on since her party wasn’t the place for it. He missed her and her sweet scent so much. It has been three long weeks and was even worse since she wasn’t accepting any of his calls. Ice kissed her lips and was expecting her to back away but instead she accepted it and kissed back.
    “Congratulations Kaylen,” Ice said. He was actually very proud of her.
    “Thank you Ice. Come on let me show you around,” she said walking away with him hand in hand.
    She showed him every inch of the salon. She wouldn’t pass up a moment to show off her establishment. When they walked into her office Ice sat at her chair behind the desk and pulled her on his lap. Kaylen wanted to fight him off a little but there was no denying that she missed him tremendously. It has been her and Ice against the world for over a year so not talking to him was killing her inside.
    “I missed you,” he said biting her bottom lip.
    “I find that hard to believe,” she said.
    “Fuck, why you gotta act like that?” he knew it was coming sooner or later.
    “Why you trynna play me?” she asked. Even though she heard Natasha’s side to the story she knew that there was always three sides to a story.
    “Who the fuck trynna play you Kaylen? You getting mad over something you don’t know anything about!” Ice said defending himself.
    “Well I know more than you think Ice. Your girl called my phone not too long ago,” Kaylen said putting him up on game.
    “What?” Ice asked.
    “You heard me!”
    “What the fuck she called you for?”
    “To get information on you!”
    Ice was quiet. He didn’t know what to say. Natasha took it to another level calling Kaylen. On the strength of their history he tried to still be good to her and have her back but because she continues to tarnish his relationship with Kaylen he’s gonna have to cut her off completely.
    “Are you guys in a relationship Ice?” Kaylen asked.
    “No.”
    “Are you still fucking her because that must be why she has the balls to question me about you.”
    “I haven’t touched in her like two years.”
    “I find that hard to believe,” Kaylen said.
    Something wasn’t adding up to her. Ice and Natasha’s relationship had to be deeper than what they were admitting to because there was no way in hell Natasha was still hanging on that tough if Ice wasn’t leading her on. Ice just wanted Kaylen to believe him. He felt like they built a strong enough bond for Kaylen to trust him over anyone else.
    “I’m trynna tell you that I haven’t fucked her, touched her, or even tried to get close to her in any kind of way. She was my baby mama before we lost our baby so I still respect her but if she’s gonna sit up here and call you on some messy shit I can’t have her around me,” Ice said straight up.
    “I’m sorry to hear that,” Kaylen said. She knew what it felt like to lose a child even if you weren’t ready for it.
    “I’m not gonna keep explaining myself over and over for some shit I didn’t do. I’ma tell you what it is and how it’s going to be. It’s up to you to make that decision if you’re gonna fuck with me,” Ice said. He was fed up with the games and tired of proving himself. He had to put his foot down at some point.
    Kaylen was quiet with thoughts running through her mind. Ice looked
