Due to Everette's practice getting out early, he and Trey make it back to the house before Demi, Brooklyn and baby Trey. Everette goes straight upstairs to take a shower and get ready for the school day tomorrow. Trey decides he'll cook dinner for the family tonight. Half-way through finishing dinner, Demi and the rest of the kids walk walk through the door.
"DADDYY!" Brooklyn says as she runs into the kitchen.
"Hey babygirl." He says wiping his hands before picking her up. "How was ballet rehearsal?"
"Good, like always."
"She has a recital in two weeks." Demi says.
"You're coming right?" She asks.
"Of course. Aren't I always there."
"When you don't work."
"And I won't have work, I promise." Brooklyn smiles. "Alright, go clean up, dinner will be ready soon." He says putting her back down and she runs upstairs. "Where's Trey?"
"Upstairs with Ev. How'd practice go?"
"The usual. Dudes bitchin about their sons not getting playing time."
"That was you at one point, remember." Demi smirks.
"Yeah, well that was because my son actually had talent, while the coaches played favorites. Glad we pulled him from that damn team."
"I'm glad we pulled him for your sake, or else you probably would have punched the coach."
Trey chuckles. "I was close. You remember."
"Don't even remind me...by the way, whatever you're cooking over there smells really good."
"It'll taste really good too."
Dinner finally gets finished and everyone makes their way downstairs. As dinner goes on, Demi notices Everette's been extremely quiet. Quieter than usual.
"Ev...how was practice?"
"It's was okay, I guess." He shrugs.
"You guess?"
"Yeah...I finally got my move down that I've been working on."
"Oh that Europe step or whatever it was." Everette and Trey quietly giggle.
"You mean the eurostep." Everette says correcting her.
"I was close enough."
"Well yeah, I did it against one of my teammates today. Faked him all the way out."
"I want to see you do that in a game." Trey says. Everette nods.
------------------
"Did you notice how quiet your son was at dinner." Demi asks.
"Nah, not really."
"Well I did. Maybe you should talk with him."
"Now you're being dramatic. Kids have off days sometimes, I'm sure he'll be fine tomorrow."
"Yeah maybe you're right. We actually need to start planning his birthday. It's coming up really soon."
"Well, we'll ask him what he wants to do and we'll get it all set up." Trey says before walking into the bathroom. He turns on the shower, gets undressed and steps into steaming hot shower. A few minutes later, there's a knock at the shower door. Trey opens the door and pokes his head out to see Demi standing there in her silk robe.
"Thought maybe you'd like some company." She says lowering the rob to where it goes a little passed her shoulders.
"Maybe next time. I'm gonna go to the club, so I won't be in here long."
Demi pulls her robe back up. "Why are you going to the club?"
"Because I own it." He says before shutting the door before the conversation can get any further because he already knew where it was going. Demi retreats back to the bedroom. When Trey walks back into the room, she eyes him the entire time as he goes walks back and forth from closet to the dressers in the bedroom as he gets ready. "I'll be back soon." He says before giving her a kiss on the cheek and walking out.
"I hate that damn club." She says quietly before making her way to the bathroom to take a nice, hot bubble bath to relax her mind.
----------------------
Trey finally makes it to the club. Only reason he agreed to come for sure tonight because there was a big party booked tonight and he wanted to show face. He invited some of his friends to come out as he usually does. He meets with them before going out to mingle with everyone else.
"FELLAS! What's happenin." He says walking into their section.
"It's about time. I was beginning to think wifey wouldn't let you out the house." Ray says.
"Do I look like I have a collar around my neck. Besides, I'm making us money right now." He says as he daps it up with everyone.
"So what's this I hear about you tappin Secret." Dre asks as they dap it up. Trey looks over at Ray who's clearly been runnin his mouth.
"It's nothin dog."
"Better not let Demi find out."
"She won't. I have everything under control."
"Alright nigga. Keep playin with fire, and ya ass will get burned."
"Imma head to the bar and send up some bottles...." He says completely ignoring Dre. The night goes on and Trey decides not to stay out too late knowing Demi was already pissed off because he left, and he didn't want to make it worse strolling in at 4am.
He makes it home around almost 1. Demi's in bed, sound asleep with baby Trey in her arms. Trey quietly takes him back to his room then joins Demi in bed. She wakes up as she feels him hug her from behind, and instead of continuing to be mad at him, and nudging him away, she gives in to his warm embrace and quickly falls asleep.
