Ok, I love little Jaylen and she's doing a beautiful job with him.

Shady Ambrosia.

You know, I really like Aries. She has a good sense of herself and she's strong with a good mindset. She does what she has to for her and her son and its evident that he's always first priority. The fact that her son always walked into daycare clean, feed and presentable spoke volumes about her character. It didn't matter that she wore secondhand clothes as long as Jaylen was looking decent.

She also doesn't take any mess and she doesn't think these people are any better than her just because they have money. She never tried to game these people and she could have at any point in the last three years. She took what she had and made the best of it for her child.

Plus, as her very last resort, and only for her son, did she contact these folks. Initially, they said no and she went on about her business. No badgering, begging, constant calling, or theatrics from her to them. I hope Anthony and Chris are taking note of this because her actions are speaking louder than any words Ambrosia could ever say going forward. She appears even-tempered and has manners. And her sweet baby looks to be the same way. Its also tickles me pink that she and Jaylen are stuck like glue to each other :)) I like mother and son!!

Cameron...I can't decide what he's about yet. Is he so in love that he's blind to all else or just gullible? And this is because of what Aries said about him knowing how Ambrosia was treating her and yet he did nothing. Because it sounds like she was bullied by Ambrosia and her pack. No, we don't have the full story yet and maybe he's just a person who is indifferent to others in life, but that doesn't exactly endear me to him until I know more. It also says something about his character as well.

OK, Antonio just endeared me to him for life! They are going to be pals from now on.

Cameron...meh, he's still on my list.

Jaylen, man I love that little guy!

Those brothers are a trip. I really like the smart assness? of Stephen...ha!

Who is left at home to greet Junior...lol?

Yes! Cant wair for the rest...

I hope Pops means what he says about Ambrosia, because if something happens to Aries, and especially Jaylen, I'm not gonna like that! One bit. Its all about protecting them. 

Cameron would do well to not be dismissive of Ambrosia and underestimate her. The chick is crazy. For real.

I didn't want Aries to show Cameron that he could affect Aries about Jaylen and taking him away, but I guess the reality is that he could if he really wanted to. 

Waiting for the meeting with Ambrosia....

Nice!

I'll stand up and say it; yes Angie, you are the stupidest woman alive!!

What would possess her to not shut the door in his face after apologies were made? But see, she won't let it be right there, she's gonna mess around and get caught up in some crazy bullsh*t with him and his woman. Watch. She won't be able to say later on that she didn't know because she knows enough now to keep her distance. If she knew these people and had some type of emotional investment, then I could possibly see that. But she just met these people! They are basically strangers to her. Don't know them or their story. 

Chance, not digging him right now. He's too demanding and presumptuous where Angie is concerned. And way too damn possessive. I don't like how he gets all up in her face like he has some right to do that. Really, all he's showing is that he's horny as hell and needs to bust a nut! That seems to be the focus for him. Nothing more. Because he doesn't know her for anything more. But he'll keep pushing until sh*t gets started involving Angie and that dangerous lunatic he's living with.

This is gonna get crazy....

I'm sorry, I still can't get with this possessive nature Chance has concerning Angie. He gets too close, he's too touchy, and demands where he has no business at. Why would he even suggest that Angie would be playing "games" with him while he's the one with the pregnant girlfriend at home? He knows that's not true. And she doesn't need to greet him any type of way. They are not in a relationship. They barely know each other. She should have told him to kick rocks. Also, he's right, he needs to get his crap together. However, asking Angie to help with that is a no go. She doesn't need to involve herself in that business. They had problems way before she got there. That's all his to clean up. Keep the distance until he does. People like Jen could get folks hurt.

I love Moppet.

Guess we will see how all this plays out, however.....

While Angie owes Harris nothing, and its right for her to stop seeing him if she doesn't really want him, she should have handled that herself. Tell him herself to his face so he knows from her, not a third party. And certainly not from the man he's being replaced with. That wasn't Chance's place to do that and it has never been his business. She was the one seeing him for whatever it was worth to her. I have absolutely nothing for Harris, but that was still kinda f*cked up. Meanwhile, she's listening at the door like some scaredy cat. All that talk about being grown and taking it and calling it a day, and she couldn't do that? Ok.

That may be the end of it from Harris; some people can take a hint and go on about their business, feeling its not worth the trouble, but I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up again wanting to talk to her this time. 

Same with Chance. When Jen gets out of the hospital and eventually comes knocking, no one would expect Angie to handle that for Chance. And I don't think Angie herself would expect to handle that for him either. And Chance hasn't even done that; tell Jen to her face. She will come looking for him for an explanation of some kind. Does Chance really think she wont? He probably needs to tell her some things concerning his feelings about her killing his baby and their relationship in general for his own closure as well. If he didn't I'd be surprised. That's just human. She really hurt him with that. They were actually in a long-term relationship. Yes, she's crazy as hell, but he should tell her all this to her face. Again, so she hears it from him without any misunderstanding whatsoever. 

Kinda sloppy, Angie and Chance.

Good work!

I second BellaChica on this. He just made things sooooooo much worse!

I like so far. Keep it coming!

Man, I LOVE this story!!! I just read it ALL, so here goes.....

Adele needs to stay frosty. Why she's allowing Gabriel any of these personal liberties is beyond me. Why? Because she's had the advanatge of seeing Gabriel for who he truly is. He was in an atmosphere to be comfortable enough to say exactly what he truly thought and felt.

This man marginalized Adele in the most fundamental way. As Adele said, it was apersonal attack. This fool basically said she was no more than an Affirmative Action charity case and she can be dismissed from anything that may be going that's meaningful and real happening at that company for her. Just sit her in a corner and give her bullsh*t clients that no one cares about to keep her busy like a little dog with a bone. Without ever having spoken to her or working with her. Purely based on appearance. Didn't know a damn thing about what he was talking about. And in a room of prospective employers who followed his disgusting lead. Then had the nerve to laugh about it!

Now, that she's glammed it up a bit, she's suddenly worth a look? Adele had to fight through the precedent he set forth just to get where she is now. Granted, he must have found like-minded people for that to happen to begin with, but still. That's the infuriating part. Nothing but Adele's appearenace has changed. He never gave her the chance. She's professional, efficient, capable and a team player. And that's what she had to offer all along.

So all this trying to get personal is just bullsh*t to me. I'd have to tell him to refrain from all the touching. He'd have to keep his greasy paws off. Like that whole wedding bit. Why didn't she set his mother and all those people straight? No need to keep asking him why he didn't do it. I would have been standing there mad as hell with him thinking how cute it all is having her there under false pretenses. Like he's dating her and introducing her to his parents and she's the last to know. That wasn't a damn date! She's not his girlfriend. She's not even his friend. Why would she want to be friends with someone who has such a low opinion of her?

Now, back in the car, this joker wants to know if he's offended her? He doesn't remember what he said about her at that meeting? Really? Because what he said was pretty decisive and foul.

So no accountability for what he said, and more importantly, the impact of it all. He tells her they fit? And how is that? He's gotten nothing but professionalism at work and indifference personally. Which is all he deserves, by the way. He's gone from zero to sixty in a month? And to use reverse psychology and basically say, well it must be true otherwise you wouldn't have made any changes at all, would you? His comments went so much further than that. 

Admittedly, I am giving Adele a bit of the side eye. What has he showed her to make her believe anything he has to say enough to be straddling him in a car? I mean, fresh off of an ambush at the office or some creepy relationship manufacturing on his part?

Side note: why is Max taking up for Gabriel? He heard what Adele heard.

Love! Love! Love it!!

Good stuff!! 

Lovely ceremony. 

Just keep on thinking Gabriel. It'll come to you. He's looking at how ugly he was through his buddy there and its not comforting at all. I'm sure he's starting to wonder why Adele would even talk to him, much less be his friend or consider dating him like he wants.

Max needs a story! I love this guy!
