Nobody's Perfect

-Drew-

I smiled at the little boy.

"He's adorable. TJ you can call me Drew or D, ok?"

He smiled and nodded.

I led them to the kitchen.

I made a plate for everyone and brought them to the table.

"Drew. Thanks for this."

"Everyone deserves a second chance."

He nodded at he began eating.

"Mommy guess what?!?!!"

"What Saphy?"

"Troy got me a bracelet see..."

I started choking so I took a sip of my red wine.

"It's really pretty Saphy"

I looked at Troy with questioning eyes but he refused to make eye contact.

"D?"

I looked at TJ.

"Yeah?"

"Do you know my mommy?"

It seemed like Troy was frozen.

"What's her name?"

"Deena."

I looked at Troy.

"Deena like, cheerleader assitant captian Deena."

He nodded not looking at me.

"No. I use to though."

"Do you know why she doesn't want me?"

"What-"

"Yesterday she make me and daddy leave and she say never to come back because she doesn't want us. Me and daddy have to stay at a shelter."

Deena always was a little bitch.

Troy got up and left the room.

Maybe I should...?

"Hey, TJ do you think you would like it here? You and your daddy can have your own room and I'll take you shopping tomorrow. I have a dance studio, a movie theatre, a basketball court, and a pool."

"Really?!!?"

"Yupp."

He smiled really big.

"Stay here while I go talk to Troy."

I walked around and saw him in the living room.

He looked like he was crying.

"She divorced me for a pro basketball player."

"You and TJ can stay here. Free. You can each have your own room. As long as you clean up and keep my house looking like it is now."

"No I-"

"Again. Not for you. For TJ. The kid doesn't deserve to grow up like that. I'll take you guys both shopping tomorrow. Saphire has a right to know her brother. And this is only till you can get back on your feet."

"Drew, thank you. I don't deserve this from you."

He got up giving me a tight hug. 

I slowly wrapped my arms around him.

"Ok."

I lightly pushed him away.

"Another thing. Nothing is ever going to happen between us ever again."

"I completely understand."

We walked back to the dining room.

"Who wants pie?!?"

Saphire and TJ both started to bounce in their seats.

***After Dinner***

Troy brought in what little clothes they did have.

"TJ this is your room."

I walked to the door on the other side.

"And this is your bathroom. My room is right down the hall, Your daddy's room will be next door, and Saphire's room is across the hall."

He nodded and started playing with a toy truck.

"Leave his stuff."

Troy dropped his little bag and followed me out.

"Here ya go. And this is the bathroom.

"Thank you."

I nodded and walked to my room.

-Jermaine-

I pulled up to Drew's house and there was a car, I've never seen,  in the driveway.

I knocked and Troy answered.

"What the fuck are you doing here!!!"

"Man, you have every right to be mad but can you lower your voice. I don't want the kids to hear you."

I pushed past him.

"DREW!"

She came downstairs with wet hair.

"Why is he here?!?"

"His ex wife put him and his son out on the streets. TJ nor Saphire need to be in that situation so I gave him a tempary place to stay."

"I don't like it."

She rolled her eyes at me.

"Maine!"

Saphire ran in followed by a little boy, I'm guessing this is TJ.

"Wassup Phire."

She dragged me over to TJ.

"This is TJ."

"Wassup lil man."

He gave me a high five.

The kids ran off and Troy walked upstairs.

-Drew-

"So you gon stay here with the rapist and play house?"

I looked at Jermaine with wide eyes.

"No one. No one is playing house. And it was six years ago! I got Saphire out of it! He knows that their are boundries!"

"Man whateva. But when that nigga rape you again...I don't want to hear it."

I reached out and slapped him.

"The fact that you have the nerve to stand in my house, wearing clothes I bought you, and talk to me like that is sickening."

My accent was seeping through some if my words.

"I'm sorry."

He tried to grab me but I snatched away. Tears brimmed my eyes.

"You were suppose to be nothing like him."

I turned my back on him and walked to my room shutting and locking my bedroom door.

***Two Days Later***

-Mika-

I went past Drew's and Troy told me she had locked herself in her room.

"Auntie Meek!"

"Hey Sap. You talked to mommy?"

"Yeah she talks to me and TJ on the intercome."

Troy nodded.

"I hear the shower running everyday. She talks through the intercome and she has been on the phone, I'm gunna guess she's been texting. But she hasn't eaten anything. She even slipped her credit card under the door and let me buy stuff for me and TJ. Calling me and telling me when something I bought she didn't like."

"Sounds like how she was after..."

I drifted my sentence off knowing he would get it.

"You can try."

I walked up to her room.

"Drewskii!"

She threw her door open and hugged me, letting two days worth of tears fall.

"He was suppose to be different."

"I know."

I pulled away from her.

Her curves stood out against her stomach which looked a little sunken in. Her hair was in it's natural curls and pulled into a ponytail.

"Come on."

I dragged her downstairs and out the door.

"Troy, we'll be back!"

He nodded at me but his eyes widened when he saw her.

She slipped on her all white Nike airs.

She got in my car.

"Where are we going?"

"To McDonalds to feed ya too small ass then to go beat a bitch."

She just sighed and closed her eyes.

-Drew-

We pulled up to McDonalds.

"What do you want?"

"A number 3 and a number 5 with a large hot chocolate and a sweet tea."

Mika shook her head at me.

I haven't eaten in two days! I was starving.

We sat in the parking lot and Mika was texting on her phone while I ate.

After 20 minutes I let out a huge burb and my stomach stuck out a little.

"Done."

Mika fanned the air.

"Just rachet."

She pulled off and I watched at the trees and buildings pass.

"What time is it?"

"9:00 in the morning."

"Damn. I'm missing Maury."

She rolled her eyes.

We pulles up to Jermaine's house and I reluctantly got out and followed Mika to the door.

Mika banged on the door till Miss Kay answered.

"Drew?"

She sounded suprised so I guess Jermaine told her what happened.

"Where is he?"

"In the studio."

I nodded and told Mika to wait in the car.

I walked downstairs and followed the sounds of music.

"J, you're scre-"

I walked in cutting Charles' sentence off.

In the room was Dre, Kris, Charles, Crystal, Kyle, Blake, and Sera.

"Dr-"

"Yo necisito hablar con Jermaine."

(I need to talk with Jermaine)

Everyone got up and Charles followed behind.

I walked over to the control panel in the studio and turnes the music off.

I put in Mika's Rhianna CD and turned on Complicated.

We both just sat in silence and listened.

After I just continued to stare at the floor. I felt his hand on my chin as he made me look at him.

He lightly brushed his lips against mine.

"I'm sorry."

I nodded and he pushed his lips on my and I returned the favor.
