Elisha

No later than after Leo closed his bedroom door did Jason walk in to the house.

"And where have you been?" I ask suspiciously checking him out from the couch.

"Out," he answered in a nonchalant tone.

"Well excuses me," I say turning back around.

"Oo, is this Beef stew?" He asked excitedly.

"Yeah," I gruffly say, recalling why it was made.

"Wait, isn't this your favorite? You made it?"

"No, Leo did," I said a bit grumpily.

"Uh-oh, what did he do?" He asked as he heated the food.

I didn't want to relive why he tried to bribe me with my favorite meal so I didn't answer Jason. I decided to change the subject, "don't worry about it. So was this 'outing' with a girl?"

"What's it to you?" He asks as he sits next to me on the couch.

"Gosh why so discrete?" I ask defensively while he just shrugs the question off.

"Fine have your secrets," I pout. "Just like your brother," I grumble.

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Is what I deciphered Jason say with a mouth full of beef stew.

"Nothing," I say aggressively hopping off the couch, grabbing my shower caddy, and heading to his bathroom.

I showered right after I got home earlier but some steam to clear my head, and a little karaoke session with my loofa wouldn't hurt.

It was a habit that I made sure not to go to sleep too overpacked with emotions and a powerful warm shower definitely melted away the problems. I washed the Kelly blow off a little earlier but after hearing what Leo said, and with Jason being a butt my emotions were building up again. Gosh, how ironic is it that Kelly, Leo, and Jason; the guys I adored the most knew how to get under my skin the worst.

As the powerful steamy spray hit my skin I imagined all the problems of today being like dirt caked onto my skin. That dirt would eventually soften or be pelted off by the water of the shower. As I continued to imagine it I made all this make believe dirt go down the drain along with most of the stress and other negative feelings it symbolized.

Lacey

"So were y'all successful today?" I ask Elisha when she arrives at the park.

"Yup," she says walking over to sit with me at the picnic table.

"So," I egg on, hoping for details.

"So," she repeats teasingly. "It started off awkward, but as promised Leo came and straightened things out with Kelly." She was vaguer than I had wanted with her story.

As she laughed at the disappointed face I was making she protests. "What, you should be happy for me. Gosh you're so nosey," she jokes. "Well if you must know, it was hard ignoring the awkward tension between Kelly and me, I mean everyone noticed it. But I just tried to act cool the entire time, well until Leo got there I mean," her face was very expressive as she explained. "I thought he'd never show and I kept texting him, it's Saturday so he's off from work with nothing better to do, I really wanted him to come with me but he was taking too long. Any who's long story shorter he came in while we were learning the third song's routine, which was like over an hour into practice, when Roo noticed him he let us have break. As soon as he said so I was about to walk over to Lee but then Lee was all like 'Hey Kelly can we talk'," Elisha said this while imitating Leo. "I was so shocked that I just stood there. They walked up to each other and talked calmly. All I could do was watch, the girls and Patrick came up to me in turn, trying to be nosey but I couldn't find it in myself to speak. Kelly and Leo looked my way a couple of times before they told me to come their way. They-.."

"Hey Little Bit," Elisha cuts herself off to greet Junior when he starts walking toward us from the jungle gym. After hearing his nickname he begins a mad dash when he sees Elisha.

"Miss Lisha," he says jumping into her arms.

"And how are you Aristede," she asks hugging him tight.

"Good," he immediately responds.

"Good?" She mimics him.

"Yeah," he replies before going into a laughing fit over being tickled. When both Junior and Elisha are out of breath she lets him go back to the jungle gym.

"So what happened after you went over to them?" I asked a little impatiently.

"Well, he apologized, actually Leo apologized again too," she answers.

"And you forgave them?"

"You already know I did," she quips

with a smirk.

Dustin

I was playing basketball with the boys, or rather whooping butt at b-ball when I saw Elisha and her friend at the park. They looked like they were having fun with some little person and that made me curious. When my boys, I was playing against, started making excuses about having to leaving or being injured that gave me an excuse to investigate my observation.

I dapped off the crew & took off my sweaty black T, to give the thirsty girls at the court a show.

My goal was to dig up some dirt on Elisha and make sure bro wasn't getting into anything dangerous.

"Hey Elisha, how you doing?"

"Dustin," she exclaims surprised to see me. "Hi, how you doing?" She greets while awkwardly hugging me, I guess 'cuz I was shirtless and still a little sweaty.

"Good," I say cheesing.

"You remember my best friend Lacey," I waved to her see as she was sitting down. "And this is her son Aristede," Elisha continues while gesturing to the little boy that clung to her.

"Well, hello. I was just playing ball over there and thought it rude to not say hi since I saw you. See you tomorrow."

"No tomorrow is Sunday, see ya Monday," she corrects me cheerily and waves as I walk off.

I walk off knowing that the kid wasn't hers. And that's all I wanted to know. Don't need anymore crazy baby mama or insane baby daddy drama in the group, I've gone through it enough for the whole group.

Jessica was a nightmare and the kid wasn't even mine. Her baby daddy wasn't someone anyone would claim but she obviously had the baby before she met me.

Sure there is also Loissa and me now but that drama is minor and sometimes I'm the cause of it.

That all being said, thought or whatever, I have enough baby drama to spare my brothers of any.

Lacey

"Well that was weird," Elisha droned in observation.

"Very," I agreed.

"Going to the swings," she nonchalantly said bobbing away.

I just shook my head at how childish and innocent she could be.

"Me too," Junior exclaimed following Elisha in the direction of the now vacant swings.
