Love On His Sleeves

Get Out of Jail Free

Olivia's POV

After walking into Jonathan's room, after what I'm confident was him having sex with that boy in my house, I wasn't expecting him to tell me anything remotely close to Antwan being arrested. My first instinct was to get in the car and make sure everything was alright.

While driving to the precinct in uptown I call Antwan's mother to make sure she is okay.

After that phone call, I look at Jonathan beside me texting and then at the boy in question out of my rearview mirror.

Hmmm... what's your name sweetheart? I ask looking into his eyes.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Shawn nice to meet you, Mrs. Brooks, Jonathan's speaks highly of you.

He smiles back at me and I nod my head. Well, I hope so, if he didn't we would have a problem.

Now listen Shawn, most importantly you Jonathan... although Antwan is in this predicament that doesn't excuse the problem I have with you, disrespecting my home and rules.

Ma... what are you talking about? Jonathan asked with a scrunched up face.

Do you need me to spell it out Jay? Don't play dumb with me. You aren't grown and I could tell you father that you're having sex in the house, nonetheless at all.

OMG mom okay. okay I get it, just please don't tell dad. It won't happen again.

What won't happen again? I asked looking over at him.

This was a trick question, and I had him squirming in his seat. I love it.

Do you need me to spell it out, he asked. And then interrupted by Shawn.

I'm truly sorry Mrs. Brook I..

Uh huh.. I don't need an apology because if you were sorry sweetie, you wouldn't have done it.

I side eye them both and pull into the precinct and we walk in to find Imani standing with Samir...

At first I'm taken aback but I give them both hugs. Hey babies is everything alright, are you okay? I ask coddling them.

Yeah we are, Mir came and bailed Antwan out, his mother is on the way.

I look over and smile. That was sweet of you Samir. Thank you.

No problem Mrs. Brooks, anything for...

He stops mid sentence when he finally turned around to see Jonathan beside me and Shawn behind him.

Hey he said smacking his teeth. Jonathan nodded and walked over to Imani.

What happened he asked with his arms crossed, opening them to give her a hug.

I turn around, walking over to the precinct desk to try and find more info on Antwan.

They explained that he was being processed and should be out soon. I nodded and saw Samir walking out of the front door.

Hey baby wait up.... what happen with you and my son, I asked grabbing his arm to slow him down. He closed his eyes and sighed.

Well.. we aren't together anymore. He said zipping his jacket up.

Well I gather that hun, but ex boyfriends don't just go bailing someone friend out of jail. What did you do to him, or what is it that he did to you?

I broke up with him, Mrs. Brooks. Nothing happened I just... I don't know.

Hmmmm.

But I'm glad I was able to help. It was nice seeing you again. He said before walking away. And wham. Jonathan came running outside brushing passed me.
