Scott was angry. He paced back and forth trying to calm down. How could Tyger go behind his back like that? He didn't want anything to do with that old man and he didn't want Tyger around him either. "Scott calm down." Kevin said. "Calm down, how I am supposed to calm down. Everybody going behind my back like this." Scott said. "Tyger was trying to help you not hurt you and you know that." Kevin said. "Bringing that jerk back in my life is not helping me. And he has no right to even see her. He couldn't even be a decent Father, now he wants to play grandpa. I don't think so. Tyger's my kid and he aint going to fuck her up like he did me." Scott said. "You sound a little jealous Scott. I take it your dad didn't chew her up and spit her out as you put it. Maybe he even was warming up to her. That pisses you off doesn't it?" Kevin asked. Scott just stared at him. "Listen if you don't want anything to do with your father, that's you business. I understand. I was there remember. We have been best friends our whole life. Your dad was a complete ass and a crappy father. But if Tyger wants to have a relationship with him there's nothing you can do about it. That's her decision." Kevin said. Scott sighed. "I need a drink." He said. Kevin pushed Scott against the wall and held him there. "Don't even start Scott; I'm not going to let you ruin everything you worked for. You let that old man prove himself right once again. No drinking. You know you can't even handle one drink." Kevin said. Scott struggled trying to push Kevin off of him. "Scotty I'll beat the hell out of you if I have to." Kevin said. Scott stopped struggling. He knew Kev was right. Damn one conversation with that old man and he was ready to hit the bottle again. "I'm okay, let me go." He said. Kevin released him. Scott ran his hand through his hair. "I can't even deal with that man without wanting to drink. That's why I can't be around him." Scott said. Kevin nodded. "Your going to have to deal with Tyger though. You were really hard on her ya know?" Kevin said. "I know." Scott said "I'll talk to her tomorrow when she gets home." Scott said.
Tyger walked in the hotel room. Mark was sitting at the table eating. "Just in time, come on and eat." He said. Tyger went and sat down. "I'm not hungry." She said. Mark set his fork down. "Come here." He said. Tyger went and sat in his lap and wrapped her arms around him. "Didn't go so good huh?" he asked. "No." she said. She told him how Scott had called and went off the deep end. "Kev must have told him." She said. "Well baby, you knew he was going to be pissed." Mark said. "I know. I didn't know he was going to go nuts though." She said. "He didn't mean what he said. You know that." Mark said. Tyger sniffed as tears came into her eyes. "He said he was going to beat me." She said. "Oh honey, Scott aint going to beat you. You know that." He said. "Why cant things ever go smooth?" she asked. "Let me tell you a little secret darlin. Life is hardly ever smooth. You have to grab onto the good times and enjoy them while there happening. That's what helps you get through the rough times." Mark said. "Just remember all the good times you and Scott have had. Aint nothing going to change that. Scott loves you. You just got one of them rough spots to get through and you will." Mark said. Tyger looked up at Mark. "You are the smartest person I know Mark." She said smiling through her tears. "That's my girl." He said kissing her. "Now sit down there and eat." He said smiling. "Yes sir." She said grinning.
Jade looked over at Scott. He had been moody all evening. She had finally got Danny to bed and was hoping to talk to Scott about what was bothering him. Scott was sitting back on the couch watching TV. Jade went over and sat beside him. "Scott is everything all right?" she asked. "Yea." He said. Okay so the direct approach wasn't getting her no where. "Are you sure honey you seem upset?" Jade said. "I said I was fine! Now drop it!" Scott said loudly. Jade's first reaction was to tell him to go to hell. But she stopped. He was really upset she could see that. She got up and turned off the lights and the TV. "What are ya doing?" he asked. She went over and took his hand. He looked up at her questioningly. She just pulled his hand. He shrugged and got up and followed her to the bedroom. She closed the door behind them. She unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it off him. She pushed him to the bed. "Lay down on your stomach." She said. Scott did as she said. She straddled his hips and started rubbing his back. God this feels good Scott thought. Jade continued to rub and knead his knotted muscles. Scott groaned damn it felt good. He was starting to relax under her touch. "I'm sorry I snapped at you Jade." Scott said. "Turn over." Jade said. Scott turned over with Jade still straddling his hips. Jade looked into his dark eyes. "Your forgiven." She said. Jade got up and removed her clothes. Then she caught the waistband of Scott's sweatpants and pulled them down his legs and off. Scott watched her, his eyes clouded with passion. Jade once again straddled his hips rubbing herself against his straining erection. Scott groaned and grabbed her hips to still her. "You keep that up it will be over before it starts." He said. Jade raised herself up over his erection and impaled herself on it yelling out as she did. "Oh yeah Jade that's it baby." Scott moaned as she rode him. Scott thrust his hips to meet hers as she moved up and down on him. "Oh Scott baby, you feel so good in me." She moaned. There movements picked up speed as they both moved toward ecstasy. "Mmmm, Uhhh, Oh Scott." Jade whimpered. "That's it baby, Come for me." Scott said. "OH God Scott, I'm coming!" Jade moaned. "Me too baby." He groaned. They both reached there bliss together. Scott pumped his hot seed into her warm wet center trembling from the force of it. Scott lay there holding her while both there bodies trembled from release. Jade lifted her head and kissed Scott on the lips. Scott looked up at her. God he loved her. She rolled off him to his side and wrapped her arm around his waist. "Now would you please tell me what's wrong?" Jade asked. Scott looked at her. He told her what had happened between him and Tyger today. "I'm sorry Scott, I didn't realize you and your dad had problems like that." She said. "I feel so betrayed by Tyger. I now she didn't mean it like that. I just feel like I'm not enough for her she had to go looking for more." Scott said. "Scott you know that's not true, Tyger adores you honey. It's perfectly normal for her to want to meet her grandfather." Jade said. " I know that but there's nothing normal about me and my dad's relationship. I just don't want her getting hurt by him. Plus the fact I can't deal with him at all. If Kev hadn't been here today I think I would have taken a drink." He said. Jade reached up and caressed his face. "But you didn't did you?" she said. "No." he said. "Scott the best thing may be to deal with your father. Either work things out or cut him lose for good, but this pain your in is eating you up, it will destroy you eventually if you don't deal with it." She said. "I know your right. After our wedding and things settle down. I'm going to see my dad. I'm going to deal with this once and for all either finish it or resolve it." He said. Jade kissed him. "I'll be here for you Scott no matter what." Jade said. "I love you beautiful. As long as I have you nothing seems that bad." Scott said. Jade snuggled into his arms and drifted to sleep.
Tyger was up early getting her stuff packed up. She called room service and ordered some breakfast. Mark woke up and saw Tyger packing up there stuff. "Get up sleepy head; I changed our flight to an early one. We got two hours to get to the airport." She said. Mark got up and went over to her. "Hey don't I even get a good morning kiss before you start barking orders." he said. Tyger's expression softened. She reached up on her tiptoes and kissed him sweetly. 'That's better." He said smiling. She handed him some clothes. "Now go get your shower, breakfast is on the way up." She said. "Okay bossy." He said. Tyger watched him walk to the bathroom. Damn that was on sexy man. Her phone rang and she picked it up. "hello." She said. "Tyger it's Kev." Kevin said. "Hey Kev." She said. "I'm sorry I told Scott about all this shit, but I couldn't lie to him." Kevin said. "I understand Kev." She said. "Well you need to get home this is really affecting your dad. I'm worried about him." Kev said. "I'll be home this afternoon." She said. "You know Tyger you might just want to leave well enough alone. Scott wanted to take a drink yesterday, he didn't but this shit with his dad makes him like that. I mean Scott aint had a drink in close to a year now and then you bring all this shit up with his dad and he's ready to hit the bottle. I know your trying to help, but you aint helping Tyger." He said. Tyger felt a wave of guilt pass over her. God Scott was doing so good and she could have fucked it all up. "I'm sorry Kevin." She said her voice trembling. When she realized what could have happened it hit her really hard. All Scott's hard work could have been down the drain because she thought she knew what was best. :Tyger honey, I'm not trying to come down on you. I just want you to realize how much this affects him before you start trying to get those two back together. This aint something you can fix. The only ones who can fix it is Scott and his dad, that's up to them." Kevin said. "I wont do nothing else Kev. I didn't know things were so bad between them before I started all this." She said. "Honey just come home and lets forget about all this." He said. "I am." She said. "Okay I'll talk to you later today." He said. "bye." She said. Room service knocked at the door and she let them in. She put the food on the table and poured herself some coffee. Mark came out and set down and grabbed his plate. "Who was that on the phone?" he asked. "Kev." She said. He looked at Tyger she looked upset. "What's up?" he asked. "kev said that Scott almost took a drink yesterday because of all this shit. This is all my fault." She said. "Tyger you cant blame yourself for all this. You were trying to help. But next time just think before you just jump into these things. Everything you do has consequences." Mark said. Tyger nodded. She was learning that and the hard way. She vowed she would think long and hard before she made decisions that affected other people again. "Now set down and eat." He said. Tyger sat down and ate a little, but her appetite was gone. Mark put his hand over hers. "Little one stop beating your self up. You've learned a valuable lesson, now let it go." He said gently. "I need to see my dad." She said. "That's our first stop when we get home, okay?" he said. "Okay." She said. "Now let's get to the airport." Mark said.
