Shorty I know what you need

I got everything you need

I promise I ain't gonna hold out either

I'ma give it all to you baby

It's on, bust it

Baby if you give it to me

I'll give it to you

I know what you want

You know I got it

Baby if you give it to me

I'll give it to you

As long as you want

You know I got it

Baby if you give it to me

I'll give it to you

I know what you want

You know I got it

Baby if you give it to me

I'll give it to you

As long as you want

You know I got it

We been together for a few years

Shared a few tears

Called each other nicknames

Like Sugar Plum and Poo Bear

I'm always on the road

I'm hardly ever home

Always busy this busy that

Can't talk on the phone

I know you aggravated

Walk around frustrated

Ya patience gettin' short

How long can you tolerate it

Listen ma I'm just motivated

I do this for us

Step on the grind tryin' to elevate it now

"That's enough of that," Eric said reaching over and changing the

station and then continued to stare out the window.

"It's that bad, huh?" Vince asked when he saw the empty _expression

on Eric's face.

"It's a lot worse then I would have ever expected. I feel like crap

as if a part of me is missing, it sucks. Who wants to feel like this?

Ever?"

Vince laughed and pulled into the driveway, "Yeah that's what

happens, but I'm going to tell you this, inside that house are two

people who make it there lives to help people in your situation."

Eric looked out the window and then back at Vince, "This is the

house."

"I know, Steph and Linda are here, and believe me if anyone can help

it's them, " he smiled getting out.

Eric sighed and followed him into the house.

"Sweetie how's it going" Linda asked hugging him.

Eric shrugged "I've defiantly been better,"

"I figured that. Come on with me, we'll sit in the kitchen, Steph and

I just finished making cookies," She grinned "Something never change."

"I love cookies," Vince said following them into the kitchen.

"Here daddy," Steph said handing him a plate and pushing him into the

living room,

`I'll be in here" Vince said sitting down.

"So tell me what happened?" Linda asked sitting down across from him.

"It seems to go like this, there's this girl right. She and I have

been going for some time now, actually a lot longer then most people

think. But Anywho, I screwed up, she says she can't trust me and now

she's going away to school and god knows when I'll see her again."

Eric said staring at the table. "Who would have guessed that I'd miss

her so much?"

"Eric your how old? You'll be twenty-four soon. You've been with a

number of girls, but what I think your problem is that you love her,

and the truth is if you don't get her back you'll be miserable always

thinking about the one who got away. So I don't know why you're

sitting here in your self pity whining. Don't be an ass go to her and

apologize for whatever it is you did and if she feels the same way

the she'll keep ya around for awhile." Linda said.

"I'm not so sure," Eric said.

"Eric, believe me, when it comes to trust, actually when it comes

down to anything love will prevail all." She grinned.

Eric turned to look at Steph who just nodded her head.

"Oh damn" Vince said from the other room.

"Excuse me, it makes me nervous when he has food in there, he has the

habit of spilling things," Linda said getting up and leaving.

"Vince what did you do?" she asked walking into the living room.

"Truthfully nothing, I just wanted you to come in here with me for a

moment," he grinned pulling her towards him.

"Eric the key thing is to go to her and apologize for what ever

happened, chances are she'll forgive you, we always do. And believe

me mom knows best. Shane and I, always said we wanted a marriage like

mom and dads, they love each other so much and they may not have the

perfect marriage but come look, dad does that all the time when he

wants her to think he has done something wrong." Steph said getting

up and opening the door just a bit for her and Eric to see.

You don't have to answer

I see it in your eyes

Maybe it was better left unsaid

but this is pure and simple

And you must realize

That it's coming from my heart

And not my head

I love you,

I honestly love you

I'm not trying to

Make you feel uncomfortable

I'm not trying to

Make you anything at all

But this feeling

Doesn't come along every day

And you shouldn't

Blow the chance

When you got the chance to say

I love you, I love you

I honestly love you

Steph and Eric both smiled when the looked in and saw that Vince and

Linda were in the living room, the music just low enough for them to

hear. And both of them in all smiles, thinking they were alone Vince

would lean down and kiss her every now and then, and then speak so

gently of things that were meant only for her to hear.

Steph and Eric both went back into the kitchen.

"And she goes every time, because she loves him and will always

forgive him"

Eric sat there for a moment and thought about everything.

"I have to go" he said before he slipped out the back door.

"See ya," Steph said sitting at the table breaking apart a cookie.
