A Little Mad

Chapter 45

"Are you sure you don't want backup?"

Mercedes smiled at Ash, giving him a hug.

"No. We will be okay. You can keep Bailey here some company."

Mercedes smirked and Bailey walked up slowly placing her hand between her legs.

"I was actually hoping you could do that when you get back."

Mercedes chuckled.

"Ohdid you?"

Jerome rolled his eyes and pulled Mercedes away.

"Hey. Just remember that's my child in there. Don't get too attached to her."

Bailey laughed and raised her eyebrows.

"Jealous Jerome? Afraid your girlfriend will fall in love with my tongue?"

Jerome's laugh filled the air.

"Over mine? Fuck no!" 

TaTyana gaged. 

"Okay this is gross! That's my best friend!"

Ed laughed and kissed TaTyana on the cheek.

"See you when you get back."

TaTyana smiled and hugged him. 

"This is it..." 

Mercedes looked at TaTyana and took a deep breath. She grabbed TaTyana's hand.

"We got this. It will be okay. Jerome..?"

Jerome walked in front of them and turned around. 

"You okay doll face?"

Mercedes took a deep breath. 

"Can you just kiss me before we go in..?"

Jerome smiled. He leaned in and gently pressed his lips into hers. TaTyana's grip tightened on Mercedes's hand. They knocked on the door. A woman with a mask on answered the door.

"You came back... and you brought miss Williams with you!"

The lady looked behind them and saw Jerome. She gasped.

"We need to talk to my parents, but I'm not talking to them without him. He won't hurt anyone I promise. He has to be allowed in too."

The lady hesitated for a moment and then opened the door all the way. 

"Your parents really want to see you. So I guess he can come too."

They followed the lady down the long hallway until they made it to a do with an owl in a triangle on it. Jerome grabbed Mercedes's hand and gently tugged her backwards. She stared at him questioning his action. He pushed her hair behind her ear. 

"I will be behind you guys in the back, but I'm right there if you need me."

Mercedes smiled and placed her hand on his cheek.

"I know. Thank you." 

The man and women sitting at the table slowly looked up as the entered the room. The woman smiled.

"Mercedes! TaTyana!" 

Mercedes was still holding her hand. She slowly walked in all the way to reveal that her other hand was holding Jerome's. Her father quickly stood to his feet angry. Mercedes let go of TaTyana and backed up against Jerome.
