Chapter 7

                                    

                                          
Seth has been there for a couple of days and they made him feel welcome. He never thought it would come to this. He has gone bankrupt, now he'll have to start all over again. This has taken a big toll on his life, until he felt like giving up but his best friend encouraged him. Wyatt gave him somewhere to stay and he really appreciated it and he'll pay back Wyatt for what he has done.
                          
"Okay first thing to do is shave and get a haircut" Seth said to himself as he stared into the mirror "how could I let myself go so easily?" Seth asked himself. Grabbing the scissors he began cutting his hair.
                          
As soon as he was finished he began shaving his beard. "Much better" he said as he run his hand through his thick, black curly hair. "I need to start working out again, got to stay fit even though I'm still muscular" Seth said as he flexed his toned muscle in the mirror. Leaving the bathroom he walked back into the room to get dressed in a plain T-shirt and sweatpants.
                          
"Tomorrow I will search for a job, so I can get my house back" He said as he left the room and went downstairs to the living room where the girls were seated and playing. Seth sat down unnoticed then picked up his book and continued reading from where he stopped.
                          
"Zuri no no nooo" Zara cried as she held her doll in her hand. Zuri giggled then started making silly faces. Zara continued crying as she walked over to Seth then began tugging at his sweatpants to get his attention.
                          
"My doll" Zara sniffed as she held the dolls head in one hand and the body in the other.
                          
"Yesh that must be traumatizing for a 3 year old, I guess" Seth said as he stared down at Zara then back at Zuri who was looking innocent.
                          
"Fix pwease?" Zara asked and Seth tried putting the dolls head back on but it went down too far. Now the doll didn't have any neck.
                          
"Ops, I think I pushed it down too far" Seth apologized.
                          
"No mama" Zara cried with a terrified face then ran away, while Zuri was laughing her head off.
                          
"How could she be laughing? So evil" Seth said as he stared at Zuri. Should he say something or let the mom handle it. He has no experience with kids, plus they weren't his so it's better he didn't say anything.
                          
"Zuri you know that's mean" Seth paused "what you did to your sisters toy" but he went ahead and said it anyways.
                          
"Ok I say Sowy" Zuri said while nodding her head.
                          
"Here it's fixed" Seth said as he gave the doll to Zuri. Seth slightly turned his head when he saw Heaven coming "somebody's in trouble" Seth said to Zuri and she pouted.
                          
"I Sowy sissy here" Zuri said then handed the doll to Zara and she took it.
                          
"Zuri do you want me to put you on timeout" Heaven asked and Zuri shook her head.
                          
"But she said sorry" Seth said and all eyes where on him. He thought to himself 'why am I get involved in this, now I'm pissing her off.'
                          
"Well yeah she says sorry but does she mean it, sometimes she needs to get punished to know that she is wrong" Heaven said and Seth shrugged his shoulder then continued reading.
                          
"Go play and be nice okay" Heaven said and the girls ran to their play area.
                          
"Nice cut you look more presentable" Heaven said as she tried making conversation with him. Seth raised one eyebrow then turned to look at her.
                          
"Are you saying I didn't look presentable at first" he said with a little smile, making her blush.
                          
"No that's not what I meant, I- mea- y" she began to stutter and he chuckled.
