She was quiet for a long time before finally whispering, “Are you still in love with her?”

I didn’t answer.

And that was her answer right there.

It had only been three days after that incident, Jailah was acting a damn fool. I should’ve known it was only a matter of time.

My phone buzzed, and when I picked it up, I saw notification after notification of people tagging me in a post from Tea And Honey a popular blog that mainly reported on celebrity gossip pop up on my Instagram. At first, I ignored it. But something told me to see what was happening.

It was late in the evening while I was sitting in the kid’s playroom, playing on the floor with Cree and Gio. Serenity was in the kitchen, talking on the phone with one of her producers about her show’s upcoming season.

Just the headline alone made me roll my eyes. So, I clicked on the link to follow to the main post on their website.

Jailah Miller Is Hot—Wonder Who She’s Talking About?

Posted by Tea & Honey Staff | 8:35 PM PST

Looks like Jailah Miller is back online and back on bullshit. The social media maven and girlfriend of NBA All-Star CreedLangston might be smiling in her Instagram stories, but her tweets are saying something verrrry different this week.

ICYMI, Creed Langston was recently traded to the LA Clippers in the middle of the season—and sources tell us the baller is temporarily living with his ex, actress and heiress Serenity Bradshaw, and their 5-year-old daughter and his son from a previous relationship.

That’s right. Living. With. His. Ex.

And while the “sources close to them” claim it’s strictly co-parenting and convenience, Jailah’s tweets tell a different story. I mean, yikes.

While Creed and Serenity have remained quiet, fans of the former couple (affectionately known as #Creenity) have been eating up every moment. Serenity and Creed were spotted outside at a having dinner just the other day—with their daughter Cree and his son Giovanni. Looking very... family-oriented.

And now? Jailah’s likes and retweets are giving burned and bothered.

We’re not saying anything’s going on between Creed and Serenity… but if something were, would we even be surprised?

As always, we’ll be keeping our notifications on. You know Tea & Honey stays tapped in.

Stay sweet (or spicy), fam. Also, see the tweets below.

Although she hadn’t come out and said specifically, it didn’t take a genius to know who she was talking about. I rubbed my temples, shaking my head. Before I could figure out what the hell I was gonna do, I heard footsteps storming up the stairs.

I exhaled hard. Shit.

Seconds later, the playroom door swung open so hard it bounced off the wall. Serenity stood there, holding her phone in a death grip, her curls wild, her expression furious.

“What the entire fuck Creed,” she seethed, stepping inside and waving the phone in my face.

“The kids.” I gestured to them and her eyes flashed in their direction. “Gio, take your sister and find Ms. June and tell her it’s bedtime.” Without question, Gio gathered his sister and did what he was told. Serenity slammed the door shut behind them.

“Read this shit out loud, Creed.” I clenched my jaw, already knowing where this was going.

“Serenity—”

“Read. It.” I sighed, grabbing the phone from her hand. I didn’t need to read it out loud—I had already seen it—but I skimmed it anyway, my frustration boiling over.

I looked back up at her. “I’m gonna handle it.”

Serenity laughed dryly, crossing her arms. “You better handle it before I do.”

I pinched the bridge of my nose. This is the last thing I needed.

“I’ll talk to her,” I told her. “I promise I’ll handle it.”
