prettiest dark skin brown skin little girl hop off the kitchen counter and walk to her.

“Hi, my name is Tiana, I am five. What’s your name?” Tiana introduced herself.

“Hello cutie, I’m Chloe.” Chloe said bending down and smiling at Tiana

“My daddy made breakfast for us, lets go to my table and eat,” Tiana said grabbing onto Chloe’s hand to lead her to the table.

“So Chloe, are you my daddy’s girlfriend,” Tiana asked catching Chloe off guard.

“I’m your dad’s friend.” Chloe said to the little girl.

“Oh, my dad said you’re his girlfriend. Right dad?” Tiana said.

“I did tell you that and you know I don’t tell you stories that aren’t true. Chloe will definitely be daddy’s girlfriend,” Tyrese said smiling at both Tiana and Chloe.

“Chloe, will you be my dad’s girl friend? He said you make him smile and that you know all his secrets,” Tiana asked.

“Oh really? He told you all that?” Chloe smiled at Tyrese’s twin.

“Yes, he did. He told me when I got home from my grandma house,” Tiana nodded. She was too smart for her age, but she was definitely daddy’s little girl. She liked to see her dad smile.

“Well, I think your dad and I have to talk before I can be his girlfriend.” Chloe said eating the food that Tyrese had cooked.

“That’s good enough for me,” Tyrese said.

Breakfast with Tiana and Tyrese was very entertaining. Tiana told Chloe about all her friends and teachers at school. She talked about all her new clothes that her father bought her. As she was talking, Chloe couldn’t help but smile at the little advance girl she was sitting next too. She could tell by the way Tyrese talked to her, that Tiana had him wrapped around her finger. After breakfast, Tiana told Tyrese and Chloe she was going in the living to watch Princess & the Frog. She wanted them to come watch the movie with her, so they agreed that they would after they finished talking.

“Your daughter is beautiful Ty.” Chloe complimented Tiana.

“Thank you, that’s my heart right there,” Tyrese responded.

“So I have a serious question. Why didn’t you tell me you had a daughter?” Chloe asked.

“I wasn’t hiding it if that’s what your thinking. I was going to tell you everything, but then Tiana got really sick and she was in the hospital. So I checked out on everybody and spent all my time with her.” Tyrese explained.

“What happen to her?” Chloe wanted to know.

“She had a fever that wouldn’t go away. So I tried to break her fever, but it wouldn’t go down. Then when we went to the hospital, she was admitted for a severe flu virus. That’s why I didn’t come to Shanice’s party,” He let her know.

“Where’s her mother? Why didn’t she help you?” Chloe said being nosey.

“She doesn’t have a mother. The woman who gave birth to her didn’t want anything to do with her, so I’m Tiana’s only parent,” Tyrese said shocking Chloe.

“What do you mean she didn’t want anything to do with her? If you don’t mind me asking.”

“I don’t mind telling you, you’re my girlfriend. She was so focused on living her life to the fullest that she said a child would slow her down. First she wanted to abort Tiana but I told her I would kill her before I let her kill my child. So she carried Tiana for 9 months and after that she sign over her rights to me and disappeared.” Tyrese explained.

“Wow! What kind of woman does that?” Chloe asked.

“A selfish ass one. Tiana never asked to be conceived, but once she was I knew that I would take care of her no matter what. Like I said before if it wasn’t for Tiana I wouldn’t be the man sitting in front of you now.” Tyrese stressed.

Chloe got up from her chair and walked over to Tyrese and stood between his legs and smiled and said yes.

“What you saying yes for ma?” Tyrese asked confused.

“Yes, I am your girlfriend. You are incredible and I love that,” Chloe said kissing him on the lips.

“Thanks ma. I appreciate the compliment,” Tyrese said picking Chloe up and taking her in the living room.

“Tiana, guess what?” Tyrese said.

“What dad, the girl just turned into a frog because she kissed the frog,” Tiana explained the movie.

“Chloe is daddy’s girlfriend,” he smiled.

“Yay, Chloe’s pretty.” Tiana hopped up and gave Chloe a hug.

“You’re pretty too,” Chloe smiled.

“Thank you, now can we watch the Princess and the Frog?” Tiana said reminding
