Okay that was an intense episode and the ending.. ughhh it gave me life. I personally loved the episode; I loved how Marcus fought for Liv. And can I just say how proud of Huck and Quinn I was; it brought a tear to my eye. Back to it we all knew Mellie was going to throw him under the bus, Cyrus was just plain wrong, the Republican Party did what was expected, and Liv I hope she gets her mojo back because I miss the woman who fought the good fight till the end. I forgot I left out Jake, to be honest I never hated Jake until he laid hands on Liv twice but as for the show perceptive I can see him as a friend to Liv. But now to come find out that he is or was married pissed me off. If he is still married he had no right to throw that in Livs face that she was sleeping with a married man when he was one himself oh and him always saying he was the one for her when he was still not over his wife. He begged for her to be honest and open about everything while he wasn't so forth coming. Now if he wasn't married when he was Liv I still am mad that he pushed so hard but I get it. Now to the part that made my night. Fitz actually went to her in front of the world. He really just threw away his Presidency in a since for her. Now I know that it won't be all lovely dovey from here on out but I want this to give their relationship some foundation. Now that promo for next week is just is lies lol. I believe that she will say she wish she never met him but that she doesn't regret it for a moment because how do you just throw your employees/friends and your boyfriend who went to war for you under the bus. But this is the great Shondaland where anything can happen. I swear I need to stop watching Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder because these shows are playing with my emotions and heart or just start a support group so we can all say what we feel lol. Sorry for the rant, I could say I blame it on the wine but it actually was just the good work of all cast and crew. Now back to Jerry Tales…..

P.S. How cute was Fitz playing with Teddy and Teddy's little laugh. He's gotten so big, that was just too cute.

Zai and I are packing up for the winter break, because we are going to spend the holidays at the White I House. Mom visited every month which was great and we talked at least three times a week, she even talked to Zai on the phone or we all Face Timed together. Over the months Karen got to know Zai too, but just as my roommate, I think she has a crush on him. They got along and that meant more to me more than either of them knew. Things between me and Zai were great. Now don't get me wrong we had our fights and moments but we also remembered what Liv said and came back to each other stronger than before. We had our date nights, I went to his games and he came to mine. We didn't take our relationship any further than second base. We talked about it and decided we both weren't ready yet. But we did come close once after my team won the lacrosse championship.

Flashback

My team just won the championship after I scored the winning goal and I was on a high from it. I couldn't wait to celebrate with Zai but my teammates had other plans.

"Jerry you're coming to the party in Kevin's room right?"

"Ummmm…"

"Your coming," he says pulling towards Kevin's.

When we arrive the party is already in full swing but when I walk thru the door it seems that the party gets louder and wilder. I get pats on the back and praise for making the winning goal. I know Zai is wondering where I am so I excuse myself from the crowd to text him to come to Kevin's. After talking to him on the phone for a little and him telling me he is on the way we hang up and I grab a beer and hit the dance floor. After what seemed like a long time I head to the bathroom to text Zai to see where he was. After no reply I go to leave but I'm pushed back in by a kid from the opposing team. He looked familiar but I paid no mind to it because it didn't matter I already knew I wasn't going to like this situation.

"I was just leaving."

"That was a nice shot," he says slurring.

"Thanks."

"You're the Presidents kid?"

"Yea man, excuse me."

"Not so fast I want to talk to you."

"Dude I can barely understand you now, you're slurring every word and we can talk outside the bathroom. I'm sure others need to get in."

I didn't see it coming and before I know it he's charging at me and crushing his lips on mine. I push him off and wipe his kiss off my lips.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"I wanted to kiss you, so I did."

"I can see that but it will never happen again."

"Come on it will be our little secret."

" I'm cool. I should get back out there."

"You think your better than me because you're the Presidents kid!"

"What?" I knew he was trashed but that came from left field. I looked harder at him and noticed that he was Reston's kid. His dad lost to my dad to being President. I laugh a little at the fact that he was mad at not being the Presidents kid, it's funny how people get jealous of things that are not what they at all seem.

"Is there something funny?"

"Look man move my roommate is most likely looking for me." I go to move around him when he slams me against the wall, "what the fuck is your problem?"

"I always get what I want and if you don't want daddy to find out about this than if I were you I would cooperate."

He moves in to kiss me again I push him but he gains some strength on me and pushes me in to the wall again. He leans in again but someone comes in the bathroom pushing us back further into the bathroom.

"Whoa sor.. Jerry?"

Derek yells, "get the fuck out here."

I move from him and by Zai. I heard of liquid courage but he had liquid courage and strength. I can feel the aching pain in both my arms from where he was gripping. Not wanting for a fight to break out and just not wanting to be in the same room as him. I try to pull Zaire out with me, but I see a look in his eye that I've never seen before and know that this was not going to end good.

"Come on Zai lets just go."

"No what is going on in here."

"None of your business midnight."

"Midnight, wow that's a new one," Zai says with a voice laced with sarcasm.

I was fuming but I didn't want to cause a scene so I took a deep breath, "Zai drop it he's not worth it."

"Did he hurt you?"

"He tried to kiss me but I handled it. Let's go," I grab his arm and we turn to leave but not before Derek says something.

"That's a good boy, follow your master."

Everything in front of me went black. I turned and swung on him and I kept punching till I saw blood but I still didn't stop there. Zai had to pull me off of him because I wasn't able to stop on my own. Racist disgusted me. I loathed the fact that I had to live in a world where someone thought it was okay to call someone out their name because of the color or their skin or put them down because of it. I was disgusted of having to hear it and I was hurt because it aimed at the man I loved and sad because I knew this most likely wasn't the first and the way the world keeps going it wouldn't be the last. Zai was able to pull me off, I was able to see again while my heart was pounding.

"You disgust me and I should keep whipping your ass but I won't. You are scum and you better apologize right now."

"I'm sorry man."

"No you use his name," I yell. Luckily the music was blaring or I would have been heard.

"Sorry…"

"Zaire," I offer up."

"Zaire. I am sorry Zaire. And you too Jerry."

"That's no where good enough, but I'll let you off because I'm going to be the bigger person. And everything that happened in this room better stay that way or I will make your life a living hell."

"Jerry lets go we have to sneak out this bathroom before anyone puts two and two together."

I let him drag me out the bathroom because I was still seeing red. I don't know when we got to our room but when we did I stormed thru the door and started pacing and yelling.

"You should have let me kill him. That motherfucker had the nerve to call you a slave and I your master like it was a joke."

"Jerry its…"

"Don't you dare say it's alright because it's not!"

"Jerry as a black man I have come to some terms with comments like that. Its unacceptable but I know who I am and that they are not worthy of my time or anger. Yes it hurts but I can't go around fighting everyone who has something to say because I need to live my life and unfortunately I have to deal with this for the rest of my life. Plus it's just going to get worst when I come out because for some reason in the black community dating a white person means you are a sell out and giving up on your own race and being means it's just not possible. I guess it has to do with the down low men but whatever. I'm just saying that this is life."

"It is just people like him piss me off beyond reasoning. He doesn't have the right to do that to you. He doesn't even know how smart, funny, cool, and unbelievably sexy you are."

"You think I'm sexy?"

"You know I do." I stopped my pacing and look at the ground embarrassed. He still makes me nervous but in a good way. I get butterflies when he is near and I literally feel sick when he is not around. He comes over and wraps his arms around me from behind and I breathe in his scent.

"I just wish that you didn't have to deal with that and always have to feel like any day could be the day someone says that they were threatened by violence by you, being racial profiled. I wish I could protect you from that."

"Babe look at me."

It takes me a second but I finally turn and look at him and he kisses me softly placing our foreheads together. "I love you and I know you want to protect me but this life. This is life of dating a black man. This is life of a black man. There are racist and homophobic people everywhere I just have both those bridges cross."

"No we have both bridges. I got your back in all this for the rest of our lives together." Wanting to lighten the mood I say one of our inside jokes, "wanna dance?"

"With you?"

"No with my father."

"I'm Zaire."

"They call me, they call me Jerry."

We laugh at one of our common loved movies and how our names don't fit in the tune but it was ours to hold. Plus hearing the other try to carry a tune was priceless.

"We are straight corny."

"We are sad aren't we."

"Come on we left the party early and now we since we are alone we can dance together," I say.

"Okay, what song should start this dance party of ours?"

"Aint Going to Hurt Nobody, of course."

I throw my phone on my dock and turn up the volume and we start dancing, we even do Kid and Play dance from the movie. We keep dancing for I don't know how long until Chris Browns No Bullshit comes on. Lets just say once that came on you could feel the shift in the room. He quickly grabbed a chair and sat me down.

"Sit and enjoy. You deserve a nice gift for winning the game."

I will hands down bow down to that man because what he did to me without even touching me was out of this world . Once the dance was over we became a furry of hands and lips. We turned off the lights and our song started playing while clothes started coming off while still trying not to break a kiss and not loose skin contact. We go back and forth taking off each other's clothes until we are left in our boxer briefs. We climb on to his bed and start kissing again. These kisses seemed sweeter, more filled with passion and love. I could feel his erection and I knew he could feel mine.

"Zai are we really going to do this? Do you really want to take that step?"

"I don't know but I'm want to take that step but…"

"I get it, im scared too."

"Jerry believe me I want to as you can feel but maybe we should cool it until we are really really sure."

"I get it, I do," I say as I start moving off of him and off his bed.

Pulling me back to the bed, "we agreed on cooling it not that you get to sleep anywhere else but in my arms."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I am. I may not be able to control my erection bbut I promise to be good if you are. We are just going to lay here in our world of love and sleep in each others arms."

"That sounds wonderful. And just so you know it is hard to control my erections around you too."

Kissing me on the lips then forehead, "sleep silly boy, I love you."

Giving him an around the world kiss, "I love you too Zaire Kennedy."

Presetnt

Zaire voice broke me out of me remembering the night we first slept together. It was going to be hard not sleeping in each other arms for the 2 months but I could handle.

"See something you like?" he was changing his shirt. We finally got over that and I was glad because I was gifted to seeing him in no shirt and I got to see the beauty of his six pack and v cut as much as I wanted.

Shrugging, " I guess, but I think it's more like something I love."

" Nice to know."

"Are you all packed?"

"Yep you?"

"I've been packed since the day you asked me to spend time with you in Washington, in the White House."

"I guess we should get this show on the road than," I say laughing, "I can't believe you are staying with me and we are doing the whole meet the parents thing."

After making sure they were completely packed and ready I let the agents know we are ready to go and they grab our stuff and we make our way to the plane. Once we were settled we eat, watch movies, talk, and get in a quick nap. It's not until we are about to land that I notice me and Zaire are holding hands his head is on my shoulder. We pull apart slowly just so we wouldn't alert anyone but I already know that they seen us, so I grab his hand back and promise not to let go until it was time to exit the plane.

TO BE CONTINUED…. Next chapter will be up tomorrow in the morning I just didn't want to drag this chapter out. Next we arrive at the White House and meet Fitz, Mellie, Karen, and Teddy. Plus their song is by James Vincent McMorrow- And If My Heart Should Somehow Stop
