Bobby walked into the house after talking with Mr. Bradford. So many new things were coming and Bobby didn't know what way was up anymore. He had just found out that his mother was seeing someone, her lawyer to be exact and that was a lot for Bobby to take in. Kaite looked up from her book when she saw Bobby walk in. She waited till everyone was upstairs before going to talk to Bobby who was sitting at the table sipping on a cold beer.

"Bobby what's going on?"

"Ma had a boyfriend."

"Mr. Bradford, oh that's old."

"You knew?" He asked surprised that she knew and didn't say anything.

"Well she didn't just come out and say it but I could tell by all the time they were spending together I drew the conclusion myself."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't think it was important." Bobby sighed knowing that he couldn't get mad at her; he didn't even think it was important. They sat in silence for a few moments before Kaite stood up and started to make her way upstairs. "Are you coming?" She asked turning around as he stood up.

"Do you want me to?"

"We can share the bed Bobby." Bobby nodded his head wanting to spend the night in a bed instead of the couch and ma's room was just too creepy to stay in. He followed her up the stairs and as soon as she reached the top step Bobby could hear Angel and Sophie going at it. Bobby couldn't help the smile that spread across his face. His hands found their way to each side of her waist and gripped her tightly pulling her back so she was flush against him. He leaned in close to her hear, his warm breath tickling her ear.

"I'm sorry for this morning." She shivered as he whispered into her ear reaching her hand back and grabbing his in hers. She didn't know what this was becoming but she wouldn't mind making up for a 'fight' they had this morning. Bobby smiled and lightly pushed her against the door. He needed to escape reality; he needed to focus on something else besides ma's death and Kaite was the perfect person to focus on. She snaked her hand behind Bobby's neck pulling him towards her and captured his lips in a searing kiss. Bobby's hands ran down her back and cupped her ass lifting her up so they were at the same height. She moaned in surprise as he picked her up wrapping her legs around his waist.

Bobby pulled away and adjusting her against the door so she wouldn't fall. He eyed her up and down before reaching up and pulling her hair down. She shook her head, her auburn curls falling around her face as she leaned in to kiss him again. She pushed away from the door falling out of his grip. She shyly played with the hem of her shirt before he came and pulled it off hungrily kissing her as they fell back on the bed.

Bobby pulled away and found her iPod sitting on the nightstand next to them and turned it on. He wanted this time to be a little bit more special than last night; he wanted to make her feel special after he was such an ass to her this morning. Kaite smiled and kissed Bobby again as her hands pulled his shirt off of him and threw it across the room.

Into the early hours of the morning the only sound heard through the house were the sounds of pleasure coming from Angel's room. No one knew what was going on in Bobby's room and for now that's how the two of them wanted it.

The next morning after Angel told Bobby and Jack about the council man Kaite found herself sitting next to Angel in her Escalade watching Jerry walk into the bank. She couldn't believe that Jerry was hiding something from them; it was like a slap to the face. Angel and Kaite glanced at each other as Jerry exited the bank and she nodded as Angel sighed.

Kaite and Angel sat in the bowling alley bar waiting for Bobby to show up. "So is everything good between you and Sophie now?"

"Yeah, we're all good." He replied a smirk placed on his face.

"You're so disgusting, Angel." She joked lightly pushing him.

"What about you, huh? I don't see any guys in the house."

"There are no guys Angel."

"What about you and Bobby, why didn't he sleep on the couch?"

"That's not fair that he has to sleep on the couch. So what we slept in the same bed, big deal!" She exclaimed sipping on her water.

"You slept with him!" Angel exclaimed after studying her face for a few moments.

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you did!" She starred into his eyes knowing full well that she couldn't lie about it; Angel knew when she was lying.

"Alright we did, so what?"

"Does this mean you guys are together now?"

"No we're not together now."

"Why not?"

"Because sleeping together and being together are 2 different things. I don't know if we could make it."

"I think you guys could, you just need to have faith."

"Don't tell Bobby that you know, alright?"

"I won't say a word." He replied sticking out his pinky, he knew that she was pinky promise girl always had been since they were young. He remembered the first time she had told him a secret, it was about the boy that she had lost her virginity too, it turned out to be one of Bobby's good friends Jordan and how she made him pinky promise that he wasn't going to tell Bobby. She laughed at him and linked her pinky with his. "Just promise me that you're gonna stick around."

"I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. You guys are the only family I have left, well that I know of at least." She replied pulling her pinky away from his. While Angel and Kaite sat inside Bobby and Jack had just pulled up in front of the bowling alley.

"What do you think he found?" Jack asked as they crossed the street.

"I don't know but it's something big."

"How can you tell?"

"By the sound of his voice, I know my brother." Jack nodded his head and held the door open for Bobby. They walked into the bowling alley and went towards the bar where Kaite and Angel were waiting. Bobby had to do a double take to make sure that Kaite was sitting there next to Angel, he never fingered her for one to get involved. "What's up Angel?"

"Was that council man helpful?"

"Yeah a real public servant. What are we doing here?" Kaite looked at her watch and finished off her water. "Where are you going?"

"I got something to do, I'll see you guys at home." She grabbed her stuff and headed off toward the door.

"Remember a punk named Victor Sweet?"

"I remember Malcolm Sweet."

"Victor was his nephew. Used to deliver things for his uncle. Like firebombs and beatings.

You remember. Malcolm used to love to humiliate him all the time."

"Yeah I remember him."

"Apparently, Victor got sick of the ass-whippings and sunk his uncle into the river. He owns the whole neighborhood now."

"Word around town is that Jerry owed a lot of people some money. Recognize that dude over there with the fat head."

"Yeah, that's Evander Pearson. He used to be all right, that guy. Jerry and him used to hang during the union days." Bobby commented setting his beer down and walking away some.

"He goes by Evan now and works for a guy named Victor."

"You guys are coming up with this pretty quick." Jack joked.

"Yeah we should've been cops."

"Holy shit." Jack muttered spotting Jerry walk over to the Evan guy. The three watched as Jerry handed him an envelope.

"Jerry got a big insurance check for mom's death."

"Come on."

"Yo, Evander!" Bobby called catching the big guy off guard.

"It's nice to see you boys, but we were just leaving." Evan commented hoping that nothing happened.

"You ain't going nowhere. What was you talking to Jerry about?" Bobby asked just wanting some answers and the envelope.

"Nothing, just saying hello me and Jerry go way back to the union days, you know that Bobby."

"Angel tells me you're one of Victor Sweet's boys now. Hear he's running shit like his uncle treating you like a house nigger."

"What are you thinking Evan? The dudes a punk." Angel reasoned.

"Things have changes boys."

"What's in the envelope?"

"What envelope?"

"You wanna play that fucking game with me right now?" Bobby growled reaching behind him putting his hand on the gun.

"Y'all gonna do that right here?"

"Right here."

"Hand over the envelope." Evan looked around and handed Angel the envelope before rushing out with his family. Bobby turned and headed back outside with Jack and Angel behind him.

Later on that afternoon Bobby found himself alone in the house watching some hockey game on TV. He couldn't believe the irony of the situation when Kaite walked in completely unaware that anyone was in the house. She walked in bopping her head to the song that was currently stuck in her head when she nearly fell over from the shock of seeing Bobby sitting in the living room.

"Oh!" She exclaimed as she hit the floor. "Geez, Bobby thanks for giving me a heart attack." He just looked at her and laughed she looked up at him and gave in and laughed along with him. Minutes later she finally got up off the floor still laughing a little bit. "Oh I forgot, here." She said tossing him a set of keys.

"What are these?"

"These are keys to your new car."

"What?"

"This afternoon when I left you guys at the bowling alley I was meeting a friend. I had him drive a car up here from Chicago."

"Why did you do that?"

"There is no way we're going to make it with one car and there is no fucking way I'm letting you touch my car." She replied sitting down on the couch next to him.

"You didn't have to do that." She turned shocked by how sincere he sounded. Never has she ever heard him sound sincere actually sincere unless he was talking to Evie. She smiled and slid closer to him gently stroking his cheek.

"I didn't have to do it I wanted to do it." He shook his head gently bringing his hand up to run through her hair. She lifted her other hand and lightly grabbed his face bringing him closer to her. She starred straight into his eyes and moved closer stopping only millimeters away from his lips. "But you fuck up this one; you're on your own." He laughed closing the distance between them. She should've been prepared for the kiss but it still seemed to catch her off guard. She knew at that moment that she was falling in love with him, but question was how far was he going to take it?
