"What are you doing here?"
"I want to see you and Jackson."
"Jackson is that my mother's with Jasmine."
"Is everything okay?" Erica asked walking over to the door.
Alicia glared at her, then back at Marc.
"Why is she here?"
"I want her here."
Alicia crossed her arms.
"Is she your new girlfriend for the month?"
"No. She is my one and only."
He pulled Erica in his arms.
"Don't say that."
"Why?"
"I still love you!" Alicia cried
"Well he loves me." Erica clapped back
Alicia dropped to her knees.
"Jackson needs his parents."
"He will have his parents."
Erica thought of something.
"We have to go now. We have a dinner to get too."
Marc smiled and closed the door in Alicia's face.
"She was trying to bait you."
"I know."
Erica laughed.
"She really went that low?"
"That's all she knows."
Marc walked to the kitchen.
"So, did you mean what you said?" Erica wanted to know so badly
"About what?"
Erica twirled her hair.
"Me being your one and only."
"Yeah, but you still have on Michael on your mind."
Erica bit her lip.
"I don't."
"Didn't he text you?" Marc asked knowing the answer
Erica couldn't lie. She didn't respond.
"Look. When you are ready, I'm here."
"Why am I here?"
"I want to protect you from him."
Erica didn't know how to feel.
"I ordered you some food. Your friends told me you like Chinese food, so I ordered you that. I'm going to lay down and get some sleep."
"Why are you sleeping so early?"
"I have to help Jasmine in the morning, and take Jackson to his new school."
"Okay."
"You remember where your room is?"
"Y-yeah."
"Okay."
Marc left the kitchen and went upstairs. Erica sat on the couch. She grabbed her phone and texted Bella.
Erica: I need your help
Bella: You like him but still stuck on Michael
Erica: Yeah...
Bella: He actually a good person. I'm glad I'm helping him with his case. His ex-wife was horrible
Erica: How so?
Bella: She broke him. He trying to give you his heart, but he doesn't want to get hurt.
Erica: He told you that?
Bella: Well all of us
Erica: Oh....
She heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" She asked as she walked over to door
"Delivery."
Erica opened the door and grabbed her food.
"How much I owe?"
"It's already paid for."
"Oh. Thank you."
Erica closed and locked the door. She went to the kitchen and put her food on the counter.
Bella: We all like him. He's better for you, but the choice is yours.
Erica: I want him.
Bella: Prove it to him then
Erica: I will
