Real Love?

Chapter 54

Michael POV
She looked so peaceful sleeping. It would be the first time in a few days she actually slept well. I continued watching Let's Be Cops with McCoy, while Micaela and Jade fell asleep.

"So you good man?" McCoy asked.

I nodded my head, "Yeah i'm straight. Just hate seeing her like this."

"Yeah, me too. She's our little sister and we both got to protect her." he said.

"I know. How you and that other lil missy?" I asked, trying to change the topic.

He scratched the back of his head, "About that. Yeah it didn't work. She kept asking me for all this BS and I was like you have a good day."

I smiled, "Man i'm sorry. I know it's hard finding someone. Trust and believe I know that."

"Michael it's ok. We gon get good girls one day. And we gonna make them wifey. You know? Settle down for a while, then eventually children. A huge house with only friends in the community."

"That's the life man. No more drama. Just enjoying everyone and everything all the time." I said.

We sat there for a moment and just enjoyed the presence of the 4 of us. It's been a minute since it was us 4, and actually pleasant silence.

"Coy, you think Jade ever going to be happy again?" I asked, in all seriousness.

"I'm praying. Someone has to come in her life, you know? I mean she's beautiful and she needs someone who wouldn't do her like August did."

I sighed, "Man why you gotta give me that long damn speech. Yes or no nig."

We both laughed and then stayed quiet for a few seconds. Jade was shifting for a minute trying to get comfortable. She decided she would lay down and use my lap as her pillow.

"To answer your question, yes." McCoy said, breaking the silence.

I nodded my head, telling him that I agree. I decided I would stop watching the movie so I pulled out my earphones and my phone.

I started playing 'Tonight' by John Legend featuring Ludacris.

I don't know about yall but that song is the shit. I was having a little turn up session, and humming to it. You know those moments your having and you feel the urge to just close your eyes.

McCoy obviously had his phone because when I opened my eyes, his flash was on recording me. He quickly but carefully moved away so he wouldn't wake Micaela up and so I couldn't snatch his phone.

"I had to Michael. You look like a fool." he said, laughing his butt off.

"I would get up and beat up you right now but Jade is sleeping. Oh, and i'm gonna get you back." I said.

He laughed, "I'm sure you are."

"I'm going to sleep. I'm tired and want to be awake before the plane lands." I told him.

He nodded his head, "Ok. I'll be awake for a little longer. But if you wake up, wake me up 10 minutes afterwards."

I told him that I would and I drifted off to sleep.

-2 HOURS LATER-

I woke up from my nap feeling refreshed and I saw Micaela and Jade awake in the the front part of the plane. There backs were facing me and just when I was about to go and say hi to them, I decided I would eavesdrop on there conversation.

"So is there something going on between you and Michael?" Micaela asked Jade.

"No. He doesn't see me in that eye plus he's my bestfriend. I don't want us to go through all of that stuff. And i'm getting August so.." Jade told Micaela.

Micaela nodded her head, telling Jade she was processing everything.

"Why?" Jade asked.

"Well it looked like you guys were something when you fell asleep." she told Jade.

"I could say the same thing about you and McCoy but I know how close you guys are so I wouldn't ask such a stupid question." Jade told Micaela, playfully.

"True, true. But I know you have a tiny limb feeling something. I just don't know exactly what." Micaela said.

Jade sighed, "Ok maybe I do kind of but barely feel something for him, but it's never going to happen. I don't want it to happen."

"Why not?"

"Well, he is the only person I can count on. I could've counted on McCoy but he is so caught up in my grammar that he isn't really with me, see what i'm saying?" Jade told Micaela.

"Well, I get what you're saying but YOLYO. You only live young once."

"Shut up with that saying. It makes no sense at all." Jade said, laughing at Micaela.

"Whatever but you know i'm right. Life is about taking risks so you just give it time or whatever and establish your feelings for real." Micaela said.

I felt like that was enough for me to hear. I turned back around and sat down. I tried to go back to sleep or at least back to a light sleep, but I couldn't.

I kept asking myself, why would Jade think it wouldn't happen. I shook my head erasing those thoughts because she is my best friend, I couldn't possibly think about her like that.

What if you want to think like that? My subconscious kicked in.

I pushed those thoughts away and tried to go to sleep. Right when I felt my body going to sleep, Jade and Micaela were shaking me to wake up.

"WAKE UP MICHAEL!!!!" they both yelled at me.

When my eyes opened, they moved on to torture McCoy. When we were both wide awake, they told us we were about to land soon. I knew I had to be prepared for anything.

When the plane landed, Jade and Micaela ran away from paparazzi and into the car. Then the army of them came over to where McCoy and I were. If I haven't mentioned, we're famous for basketball. Starters for Chicago Bulls.

I slipped my shade on and walked passed all of them and went into the car.

"They're monsters." Jade said.

"You're telling me." McCoy, Micaela, and I all said at the same time.

I decided to change the tired mood and asked the driver for the AUX cord. I started playing 'Nasty Freestyle' by T Wayne.

We were all being loud, crazy black people. And that's when I knew this is forever my life now. Taking care of my favorite people from then on. Nothing more important.
