Can I Trust You?

25// When Trouble Awaits...

"What babygirl!?" I yelled back hurrying washing my hands.

I dried them and ran downstairs just about falling.

I found Jade on the floor. She took her shirt and shorts off, meaning she only had on a bra and panty set with socks on.

"Babe- please- please get a bowl I- I have to throw up." She said holding her chest.

I grabbed the nearest big bowl in the cabinet that we used for pasta salad and put it on the floor. She released her body fluids and I held her hair out of the way.

"I know I told you not to get up with out me and you didn't listen." I threw the bowl away and was now on the sofa with her.

"I know and I'm sorry. I really had to throw up and pee at the same time." She laughed. I laughed along with her.

"Lemme take you to the bathroom." I grabbed her crutches from by the door and grabbed her hands to pull her up.

I walked beside her to the bathroom. I took the crutches and pulled her panties down and sat her down. She just looked at me and smiled.

"What?" I laughed.

"It's weird with you in here listing to me urinate." I laughed.

She wiped herself and flushed the toilet.

I walked her to the sink and she washed her hands while I held onto her waist so she could stand on her good leg.

I walked her back to the sofa because she was complaining that the crutches were hurting her armpits.

I looked at the time on Jade's phone and it was an hour passed since Ms. Gina told me she was coming over.

"Damn."

"What?" She looked at me weird.

"Ms. Gina was supposed to be over her a while ago to come investigate on your accident." I wiped my forehead.

"Oh Ms. Gina!-" The doorbell rung.

I got up and looked through the peep hole and saw her. I opened the door and she came in with a little girl. Although, Ms. Gina didn't look too happy.

"I'm so sorry I'm late Mr. Henderson. My husband was acting stupid and wouldn't take care of our daughter while I went to work. Is it ok if she stays here with me please?" She had tears all in her eyes and dried ones on her face. Her mascara was all messed up.

"Of course! That bastard won't give you a break." I told her. I then realized what I said and froze.

"It's ok sir. He is in fact a bastard. I hate him." I looked confused for a moment.

"I'll explain later. Now I'm at work and I need to help you guys." She turned and looked at Jade.

"Ms Gina!!" Jade yelled. Ms. Gina went over to to Jade and gave her a big hug.

I watched them socialize while I put my attention on her mysterious daughter.

"Hey, I'm DaQuan. What's your name?" I got down on one knee.zzz
