Love hurts?

Nobody

Ocean's POV

It's been two weeks since my dad came over for dinner. We're still not as close as we once were, but we're slowly trying to rebuild the relationship we once had. Even him and Michael have been getting along and he's asked Michael to do some work for him around his house. Michael is still working with his dad, but recently he's been more interested in painting and decorating and him and Randy are always talking about going into business together.

I haven't seen or heard from my mother since that day at the basket ball court. I'm sure wherever she is, she's fine. I don't actually want to see her again but, it's still kind of weird nobody has heard from her since that day.

I'm out shopping with LaToya, we've always loved shopping together but recently I've noticed her wanting to go more often. "Maybe we should go get our hair and nails done while we're here" LaToya suggest "sure" I nod getting even more suspicious. "I was thinking of maybe getting one of those waxes too and maybe..."

"I knew it!" I cut her off "your seeing somebody aren't you?" I smirk "what!? No of course not" she gasps trying to look innocent. "so what's all these extra times in the gym and new clothes and another stuff about?" I ask raising an eyebrow. "what a girl can't just look good? You always make sure you look nice and get a wax and stuff"

"yeah.. Because I like to look good for my man"

"I'm sure you don't just look pretty for Michael" she rolls her eyes "and I'm pretty sure this man of yours has a name" I shrug "ugh! Fine! But you cannot tell anybody even Michael?"

"just tell me" I roll my eyes at her "ok, his names Frank. We're not together, but we've been talking alot on the phone and I agreed to join him and his family for dinner at his sisters next week"

"that's great! Where did you meet him?" I smile. "I'm friends with his sister. He looks a little rough around the edges, but he's a really sweet guy" she smiles. "so how come I haven't met this sweet guy of yours yet?" I fold my arms playfully. "he's really shy around new people" she shrugs. I open my mouth to speak and she cuts me off. "enough about me. Let's go do some more shopping!" She smiles changing the subject and I see her blushing.

Michael's POV

"how about... the Jackson two or... Jackson's Brothers?" Randy suggest still thinking of a name "what about... Jackson and co?" I suggest "perfect! Jackson and Co it is!" He smiles excitedly. "maybe 'Jackson and co'  should try getting some work done!" Sherri frowns walking into the kitchen YET AGAIN. "we were just taking a break" Randy shrugs. "you've only been here two hours! Carson is paying you both! And be carful taking them cupboards down! Jessica paid alot of money for them!" She snaps walking out of the room. And we carry on with our work.

"these do look like pretty expensive cupboards Jessica bought" Randy says and I nod "they are! This kind of wood cost ALOT of money... So we need to be VERY VERY careful" I tell him in a serious tone then bang the hammer on them a few times until they come crashing down. "pretty sure you were supposed to unscrew it" Randy smirks "I know" I shrug chuckling slightly and we begin putting the new ones up.

"so how's everything going with you and Beth?"

"it ok" Randy shrugs "you two having problems?"

"not exactly it's just... The sex is kinda boring" he mumbles. "you get bored from sex?" I frown. "with her! She always does the same thing"

"so try doing new things to spice up a little. That's what me and Ocean do. We're always trying new stuff" I shrug. "you just do it and she goes with it?"
