Secrets, Lies & Trying Times

VI

About a week goes by, Odell left LA the day after his shoot, and it was just Demi for the time being. When the shoot was over, they both went their separate ways once they got back to the hotel. Demi came to a realization that spending so much time, even if it was only a few hours was not good to do. Granted nothing happened, that's Odell is one of Trey's bestfriends, those two have been close for years, and of a picture gets out of them together, and the media try to make it more than what it is, that would stir up trouble. Demi and Trey were doing great in terms of their marriage, and trouble was the last thing she needed.

It was Saturday afternoon and Demi was due for a phone call with Trey and the children. She grabbed her phone off the desk, dialed Trey's number and after a few rings, Trey picks up.

"Hey baby." Trey says grabbing his keys.

Demi hears the shuffling going on on the other side of the phone. "Heading out to Ev's game?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Can you hand him the phone?"

"He went over to the gym with one of his teammates."

"Aww.." Demi says sadly.

"How bout this, I'll call you when we get to the gym and you can talk to him before the game."

"Sounds good. Where's Brooklyn and baby Trey?"

"Right here. Hold on." He says handing the phone to Brooklyn. "It's mommy."

"Hi mommy!"

"Hey babygirl. I miss you so much!"

"I miss you too mommy. When are you coming home."

"Soon baby. Real soon. Are you being good for daddy."

"I'm always good mommy. Ev is always the bad one." Demi giggles.

"Is that so...give the phone back to daddy."

"Okay. I love you!"

"I love you too babygirl."

Brooklyn hands the phone back to Trey. "Hey."

"Wow, that little really has a mouth on her, huh?"

"Mhhm. That she does. I wonder who she got it from." Trey jokes.

"I have no idea. Certainly not her wonderful mother." They both giggle.

"Yeah, okay. Sure. But listen, I'm gonna get these two in the car and we're gonna get to the gym. I'll call you when we get there."

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you more."

Trey gets the kids to the car and they get to the gym where the game is being held. As promised, he calls Demi so she can talk to Everette before his game starts.

Later that night, Trey got ready to head to the club. He hadn't been since Demi left and he needed to check on things to make sure everything was going well. He couldn't just rely on the words of Cain, even though Cain was someone he trusted, and did an excellent job as general manager.

"Brooke, Ev...auntie Tori said she's pulling up, get down here." Trey calls upstairs. He already has the kid's bags packed and ready to go. Baby  Trey is already asleep for the night. There's a knock on the door. "Hey Tee."

"Hey Trey. Where are my babies?"

"Right here auntie Tori!!" Brooklyn says running up to her.

"Hey, not too loud, you'll wake your brother." Trey says quietly.

"Sorry daddy!" She whispers.

"You kids be good, and I'll see you in the morning." He says giving Brooklyn a kiss on the cheek. Then gives Everette a hug. He gives Baby Trey a kiss on the cheek before handing him over to Tori. "Thanks again Tori."

"No problem."

The kids leave and shortly after, so does Trey. He arrives at the club, greets some of the people standing in line waiting to go in, then heads inside. It feels nice to be back in the club.

"Look who's finally out to play." Cain says walking up to him.

"Yeah, I had to come. How we doin?"

"Same as always. Business is boomin, wth no signs of slowing down."

"That's what I like to hear. Good work."
Trey goes off to mingle with some of the club goers then heads to his office. He sits there and gets some paperwork done when he hears the door open. He looks up in shock. "What are you doing here?"

"You don't look happy to see me Tremaine."

"I'm not. Secret, at some point, you're gonna have to get the picture."

"Which is?"

"I want nothing to do with you. I'm happily married with three beautiful kids, you think I'm going to jeopardize that."

"Happily married huh."

"Yes, I am...and if you keep coming in here, I'll have to tell security to keep an eye out for your crazy ass and have you escorted out immediately."

"You are so tense." She says walking behind his desk."

"Secret..." she slowly straddles his lap. "Don't." He says pulling her off and placing her to the side. "It's time for you to go." He says standing up.

"Shhhh, it'll be our little secret." She says groping him.
