Chapter 8
Not My Problem
[Trina's POV]
I checked myself in the mirror one last time before grabbed my purse and headed down the hall.
"Don't come home pregnant." Bailey said as she flipped through the channels. She always made sure she said something in those words before I ever went out on a date.
"Bye Bailey." I didn't even feel like wasting words on her right now. I need to save my conversations for Beck.
I walked outside to Beck's car to see him standing outside with the door held open for me. What a gentleman.
"You look hot, like you always do of course." I stated as I hopped into the passenger's seat. He closed the door and waked around to the driver's side smoothly getting in.
"You don't look bad yourself." He said after he started the car.
"So where are you taking me?"
"Mm, you'll see."
I smiled as I sat back.
RING, RING, RING
"Hello the miraculous Trina speaking."
"Trinaa."
"Um, yeah, who's this?" I said glancing at my caller I.D. again which read a number that is not to my knowledge.
"It's Cat."
"Oh Cat what? I'm busy right now."
"Um, can I stay at your place tonight?"
"Cat no, I'm on a date with a special fella, and I'm not throwing it away because you want to come over."
"Trina, Please."
"Wait why are you trying to stay at my place? Don't you have a home?"
"Yes, but, but I can't go home right now. I really just need a place to stay for just one night, please Trina."
"Call Tori."
"I can'ttttt she hates me. Trina pleaseeee."
I sighed. "Look Cat I won't be home until later. I'll call you then."
"You can't call me, my phone is…gone."
"Well what number is this?"
"Don't call this number back."
I sighed again. "Well Cat, look just call me in a few hours or something."
"Okay." She said in a sad voice. I wanted to ask what her problem was but then again I don't feel like listening to other people's problems right now, so with her okay I hung up.
"What's up with Cat?" Beck asked as he turned a corner.
"She's trying to stay at my house for whatever reasons."
He lifted a brow. "Really. Is she okay?"
"Psss, c'mon you're talking about Cat here, was she ever okay?"
He chuckled as he turned another corner.
"So how's Bailey?"
I rolled my eyes. "She's her."
"And that means?"
"She's fine." Why is he worried about Bailey. This is my date.
He made another turn before he pulled into the driveway of his own house.
"Uh Beck. Why are we here?"
He smiled as he got out of the car, then walked around to my side opening the door.
"Your house?….oohh it's that kind of date?" I chuckled in which he scratched the back of his head.
"Um, no Trina it's not that kind of date. Just c'mon on."
He grabbed my hand in his gently and I felt a bolt of pleasure run through my body just from his touch.
No telling how he could make me feel in bed.
He unlocked his front door and held it open for me as I walked in.
"This way."
I walked into the dining room to see a table, with a dark red table cloth and set with all glass dishes. The lights were off with candles in the middle of the table and around the room, making the whole room glow with candle light. It was very beautiful if I do say so myself. He grabbed my hand once again and led me to one of the two chairs that sat pushed up at the table.
"Have a seat. I'll be back momentarily."
New Text Message
Sender:Unknown
Unknown: Trina! I can't wait anymore!
Me: Cat?
Unknown: Yes! Please can I come now!?
Me: Cat! I'm not at home. Bailey is there. You can go ahead and go over there if you want, but I don't know when I'll be home.
Unknown: Okay. Thank you so much.
Me: Yeah, whatever.
I threw my phone back in my purse in time to see Beck walking back into the dining room with two plates in his hand. He sat a plate down in front of me before he proceeded to his seat.
"So?" He lifted a brow.
I looked down at my home cooked plate and around the room again. Nobody has ever went out of the way for me like this guy has. All the guys who said they would take me out either took me to a broken down restaurant or just wanted to sleep with me. But Beck, he not only took the time to cook this delicious meal for me, but also went out of his way to set up everything. And it's all for me. Nobody has ever treated me with so much care before and it feels so good to have somebody like this. To have somebody here who actually gives a damn. But I have to admit I have a weak spot for Beck. He brings out sides of me I never knew I had. It's like he can see something in me that I don't see in myself, which is pretty amazing since I am the Trina Vega. I can see everything, but Beck, he sees more.
"Beck, this…this is really, very, sweet of you. You know, to do this, for me."
"No problem." He said with a wink.
"So um, Beck."
"Yes?" He said as he swallowed a bite.
I shrugged. "Do you think that…you know…me and you..may…you know…have something?"
"Well, I'm not sure just yet. Maybe." He stated.
I smiled.
Maybe
[Roxy's & Michael's Text]
Roxy: Baby where are you?
Michael: Can we change to tomorrow night?
Roxy: Why!?
Michael: Because baby, I'm doing something.
Roxy: Doing what!?
Michael: It's a secret.
Roxy: What kind of secret? Another woman secret?
Michael: Omg! You always make it seem like I'm cheating on you or something! Stop doing that shit it's annoying! What? You don't trust me or something!?
Roxy: No I trust you, it's just. I don't know.
Michael: Really stop doing that shit.
Roxy: I'm sorry baby.
Michael: Mhm.
Roxy: So I won't see you until tomorrow?
Michael: I don't know, you just pissed me off.
Roxy: Well as your gf I should know what the hell you are doing. You are keeping secrets and shit. What the hell do you want me to think!?
Michael: Roxanna, really, stop texting me right now. I'm not in the mood.
Roxy: You're not in the mood!?
Michael: I'll ttyl.
Roxy: Fuck you Michael.
Michael: You doin' the most.
Roxy: I'm doing the most? I can't even ask you a simple question. Everything is so secretive with you now, and then all of a sudden you can't see me anymore? I have the right to be "doin' the most"
Michael: Ttyl.
Me: (fuck you emoticon)
[Evelyn's POV]
"Hey Kulado come eat dinner's ready. Turn that off." I said as I walked into the living room and pointed to the T.V.
He quickly ran to the T.V. and switched it off before he came running to the kitchen.
I placed his plate onto the high stand as he claimed up with a toy in his hand.
"Put the toy down. Eat." I said taking the toy away and putting it beside him.
Kulado didn't talk much and he barley ever wanted to eat. So it was a constant thing to make sure he ate all his food.
"Smells good." Sunshine said as she and Shiloh walked into the kitchen.
"You guys help yourselves."
I pulled out two plates for them as I did myself.
"I have food at home thanks though." Shiloh said as she took a seat beside Kulado.
"I'm not really hungry." Sunshine stated at she stared at the pot of homemade wheat noodle spaghetti, that I boiled using water from the bottles we had.
"Sunshine eat something because when I put the rest up in the fridge you are going to be complaining that you're hungry then you have to go through the process of pulling it all out again. Just eat now."
"I'm just really not hungry." She stated again.
I sighed.
"Where's mommy?" Kulado asked as he slurped down a noodle.
"She'll be home soon." I guessed.
"So how will you guys shower?" Shiloh asked me.
"Water bottles."
"Won't they be cold?"
"I'll heat them."
"When will the water be back on?"
"Shiloh I don't know. Calm with the questions."
"Oh, sorry."
"It's fine. I guess I'm just a little irritated. You're fine."
She gave a small smile. "Hey I better be getting home." Shiloh hopped off the high chair.
"Awhh now?" Sunshine wined.
"Yess."
I watched as Shiloh pulled Sunshine to her. "I'll see you tomorrow. Kay?"
Sunshine smiled. "Okay." Shiloh leaned in and gave Sunshine a small kiss before she pulled away.
"Love you."
"Love you too sweetlove." Sunshine said as Shiloh walked out of the kitchen door.
Sunshine grabbed my hand and pulled me into the living room. "Where is mom Evelyn?"
"I don't know."
"Is she okay?"
I shrugged. "I don't know any more than you do Shine."
She sighed. "I hope she's alright."
"Me too Sunshine."
Me too.
[Bailey's POV]
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
Who the fuck is that?
I stood up from the couch and tiptoed to the door before I took a peep out of the small peephole.
"Cat?" I say to myself as I unlock the door and open it.
"Cat are you okay?" I asked as I gently pulled her inside and closed the door behind me.
Her hair was a mess, her shirt was ripped, her shorts unbuttoned, small tears formed in her eyes, but they didn't fall, she held her arms crossed as if she were hugging herself, and on top of that she reeked.
She shook her head.
"Dude what happen to you!? You look like you was ran over by a truck!"
She shook her head again.
"My moms not here right now, but I'll call he-"
"-No, you don't have to call. I told her I was coming. She knows I'm here." She said in a shaky voice.
"Dude what are you on crack or something?"
She shook her head. "n..no."
"Well I'm going to need you to take a shower or something, because no offense you smell like you've been dead for quite a while." I started to walk down the hallway as she stood still in the living room.
"This way honey bunny." I said as I lead her to the bathroom.
She walked in and looked around like it was just a spectacular place or something.
"Wait here."
I walked over to my room and grabbed a t-shirt and some sweat pants before I headed back to the bathroom.
Cat stood in the middle of the room where I left her like she was lost or something.
"Cat really, I mean you might fool somebody, but I'm not dumb. You're obviously on some type of drugs, but I'm not going to get into your business, but as long as you're here you're going to have shower, because I'm not smelling that until Trina gets here. So therefore, here's some clothes, here's a shower, there's some soap, there's some shampoo, there's a towel, and there's…that. Okay. Have fun." I said with a smile as I turned to leave. I peeked through the door as I was closing it to see her stare at the shower knob like she didn't know what the hell it was. I sighed as I opened the door back up and walked in.
"Here." I bent over and started the shower for her. "Now I'm not undressing you or anything. I mean you still have some sense I'm hoping.
"Yeah. Um, thanks."
"Mmmhm." I sang as I exited the bathroom. I walked back into the living room and flopped back down on the couch snatching my phone up in the process.
Me: Yo.
Sunshine: Yesssss Beeeeazzzlyyyy?
Me: Cute…hey why is your mom in my shower?
Sunshine: What?
Me: Your mom is in my shower. I don't think I could reword that. I mean maybe I could say, your mom is in my tub with water hitting her from above I mean…
Sunshine: Why is she over there?
Me: Hell if I know.
Sunshine: Tell her to call us when she is out of the shower.
Me: Will do.
I debated on whether or not to tell Sunshine that her mom is clearly smoking or drinking or sniffing something, but then again Sunshine is very…I don't know the word, but I don't think she would take that well. So….I'll just let them find that out.
Not my problem
Thanks For reading! REVIEWWWWWWWW! ;)
