Down For The Ride

Chapter 22

Shae

Tre and I were sleeping in the same position we was laying in, with the tv still on. I heard a knock and a clearing of the throat. I turned my head to the door and noticed Jason and Brooklyn at the door frame.

This bitch...

Let me stop. At the end of the day she is my sister... But like I said. That bitch.

Tre started to shift causing Killian to rapidly kick him in the head. It hurt me, so I can only imagine what he felt.

I forcefully pushed Tre's head off of my stomach to ease the pain. Surprisingly his ass stayed sleep. Like I said before, he ain't nothing but a big baby.

I got out my comfortable position, slowly got off the bed and waddled over to the door.

"Took you all damn day to get out the bed." Jason said grabbing my hand. He lead Brooklyn and I outside to the back porch.

"Brooklyn! Talk. Sister or not you can get your ass beat. Again!" Brooklyn side eyed Jason before she began to speak.

"Shae. I admit I was wrong for trying to discourage your relationship based on my experience in past relationships." She wiped s tear that was starting to fall.

"I shouldn't have brought baby Killian or the man in the subject. I was way out of line and I apologize." I opened my arms and pulled her into a hug.

"I accept your apology. And I also want to apologize for bringing up Nick. I really don't know the facts behind what happened and if shouldn't have came out my mouth. At the end of the day your my sister and we need to fight for each other and not each other." She flashed me a warm smile.

"I forgive you." We gave each other a hug.

"Bout damn time y'all hug without tackling each other to the ground pulling hair." We both looked at Jason as he just ruined the moment.

After I walked back in the house I checked the time. It's around 730. I guess I'll start on dinner. I'm going to make Jambalaya rice, seafood gumbo, and crab legs.

"Baby!" Tre yelled from the room.

I put the tops on the pots and slowly made my way to the room. "Yeah baby." He climb out the bed and pulled me into a hug.

"What you doing?" I got out his grip.

"Cooking."

"After you finish cooking come back to the room. I have a surprise for you." I nodded my head and wobbled my pregnant self back to the kitchen.

Tremaine

On the low, everyone could tell Shae was stressing. She's worried about me cheating on her again. She anxious to find her parents and something else. I just get this bad vibe from her.

But since she's so stressed and I can tell she's in some pain I'm going to surprise her with a nice relaxing bubble bath, some old school R&B music, and a glass of sparkling grape juice.

Afterwards I going to massage her feet and paint toes. I'm not a feet person but if it'll relax her I'll do anything for my baby.

45 minutes later

Shae just finished cooking and I can smell the food all the way back her. It smells good. I just want to dig in and eat like a dog. I would do it but my momma raised me to be a man, not an animal.

Shae came in the room and sat down on the bed. She looked tired and worn out. Good the I just finished running her bubble bath.

"Tre what ever the surprise is can it wait? Please? I'm tired I just wanna go to sleep." I laughed and took her hand, helping her up from the bed.
