"Wait" He stopped kissing her but didn't move away. Instead the woman was giving him small kisses like she was trying to will herself to stop but couldn't. "Tommy." She put her hands on his hoodie and pulled him closer instead of pushing him away slightly like she'd planned. "Wait." The man decided to make it easier on her by stepping away but not before pulling her puffy pink bottom lip slightly with his teeth.

April just stood there with a confused expression and her hands at his chest. One second he was telling her that Team Mbappé wasn't a thing the next he was kissing her per the instructions of the voices behind his door. She needed a second to wrap her head around it.

"Oop-he got curved." "Mans got rejected." "Blud lost to Ramen." The peanut gallery added once they heard April's voice.

They were standing in the middle of the living room and Tommy was red in the face with his parted lips wet from the kiss. Despite his gang's comments Tommy appeared to be relaxed and confident in his stance. Instead of speaking, the man sucked in his bottom lip to remove the excess moisture on his swollen lips.

"No! I'm not rejecting you. It's just that-"
"Mbappé would never do this. I'm just saying." Dean's voice could be heard followed by sounds of agreement among the crowd that had gathered. Tommy dragged his hand down his face as he sighed in annoyance. He excused himself, asking her to give him a sec before he walked to the door to tell them to leave. "If anyone is standing around after I tell you lot to go away then you will be all be expected to clean the floors at Mandem Records." April stood watching as Tommy threatened the door. Apparently that was all that was needed because the area in front of his house was deserted once he opened the door.

He then closed the door and walked back to her, waiting for her to continue where she was cut off.

"As I was saying Tommy. I'm not rejecting you. It's just there's a lot I'm dealing with right now. My son— you know my son right? Lil Bleach?anyway Ramee sent him to a boarding school in the Bahamas and I got a text that he's dropped out and he left and- Ramee isn't helpful at all." April was rambling as she waved her hands. Tommy knew the chubby kid vaguely from a few interactions. The little menace was a well known shooter. He remembered April mentioning the boy once when she called for advice. Tommy wondered how Ramee, who was one of the richest people in the world, struggled to find his own son.

"I can hire a PI to help find him if you'd like." He wasn't as connected as CG but a nice prize would motivate those who were weary to help.

"No it's okay there's no need. I know where he is. He's in another city not too far from here but he's scared to come back and I miss him." Tommy was having a hard time understanding how that prevented them from being together. He would do everything in his power to bring back her son whether or not she was going to date him but he had a feeling that the boy's absence had nothing to do with her turning him down.

"And my music! You know. Just because I'm done with my tour doesn't mean I'm done working. I have so many songs that I need to send back to Wuchang. There's this one song in particular and it's just missing something."

"I can help you with that. There's some musicians on the block that can help give input too."

"And Pixel Perfect! I'm trying to revamp the store and do more stuff and Hutch says I need to have a meeting with Cerberus but they hate me because of a pict-"
"I can help with that too." He'd heard rumors about that. He thought it was jokes and so did a lot of Cerberus employees. Tommy knew that if he spoke to the right people they would allow the meeting to continue without Dean and Leslie's pettiness ruining what would be a profitable business relationship.
