Erika's POV
"Thanks for letting me stay here until I get back on my feet." Tyrone said.
I nodded and closed the front door behind me. "It is only for a few days but you should be able to find a job by then, right?"
Tyrone scoffed. "Like anyone would hire a fucking criminal."
"So why did you do it?" I question.
"I had to okay because we needed the money to help mom."
I scoffed. "So you couldn't find any other options that are legal to help her?"
"I had to take a shortcut that's all and look at you dating a guy with money who coul-"
"I would never use Sammy's money. He offered to help, but I declined. I want to do this on my own without feeling like a charity case," I chuckled. "The crazy part is that I was the only one taking care of Mom before she died."
"You know you act like an older sibling to me than I do to you."
Yeah I wonder why...

Sammy's POV
"Alright we are done with the session now so same time next week?" Ayanna says.
Ayanna been my physical therapist for weeks now after my ankle healed from the two surgeries and I have been rehabbing my ankle ever since.
"You know it." I said.
"If you feel any soreness or pain, just take the pain medicine that I prescribed you for but other than that just do the exercises I told you about." She stated.
"Okay."
"So engaged huh?"
"Yeah." I said with a smile on my face.
"Well you and her must be a great couple."
I chuckled. "I guess so."
"Anyway I got to go since my girlfriend wants me to meet her parents tonight."
"Nervous?"
She chuckled. "What do you think and besides all I hope right now is them liking me that's all I want."
"Who wouldn't want that?"
"Have you ever met your fiancée's parents before?"
"Yeah I have." I half lied.
I only met Erika's mom and never met her dad in my life but that will never happen knowing he left her when she was a kid.
"So you never had any problems with them?"
"Nope but don't stress yourself out because it will work out fine."
"Are you sure?"
"I am sure but if they don't like you then I guess you should keep trying or it is their loss."
"Your fiancée is very lucky to have you."

8:45 pm
"What are you doing outside?" I asked, getting out of my car.
Just needed some fresh air." Erika said.
"Well I got some food for us and is your brother inside?"
"Yeah he is but I don't feel like talking or seeing his face again right now." She states.
"Want to talk about it?"
"No and matter fact I need to get out of here."
"Where do you want to go baby?"
Ascending from the doorsteps, she approached me, took my hand, and planted a kiss.
"Still know where that place you told me about a few years ago?"
"Yeah I do."

Erika's POV
9:23 pm
"Do you think I am making the wrong decision?" I asked.
" Are you talking about your brother?" Sammy asked, kissing my neck.
"Y-yes." I moaned.
"Baby if you didn't want your brother to stay with us then maybe you are making the wrong decision."
"With everything that happened in the past, I feel like I am and I hate that he did that shit."
"I know you are mad and also having car sex isn't really the best solution for this anyway."
Sammy got off me and put his shirt back on before looking back at me.
"If you don't want him to stay there then tell him that he could find a hotel or a friend's house to crash at." Sammy told me.
"Yeah maybe but is it crazy if I say that I don't trust him at all?"
He chuckled. "Nah I don't think it is crazy Erika and you need something to get your mind off your brother."
"Like what?"
"There is a carnival that is happening in San Diego tomorrow, do you want to go?"
"Yeah."
"That is great and anyway do you want to go back to what we were doing before?"
"You are really something Sammy." I said, getting on his lap and cupping his face to kiss him.
"Yeah I know but you love me though." Sammy spoke.
"I love you too baby."
"Mmhm that is what I like to hear baby."
