Friday

November 3rd

A night with Bobby and Jack

It was a regular Friday at work, Sofi was bitching about something that Angel did once again. I was dreaming about Bobby the whole time, I was definitely not excepting what was going to happen next.

"Come on I told you my name its Nikki Williams, my sister is Madison Williams she works here. Just let me fucking talk to her. Madison! Madison!" My sister's voice rang through the hallway.

"Shit!" I ran into the hallway. "Nikki what are you doing here."

"Get your fucking hands off me. Madison, hey little sister how are you." She hugged me.

"Nikki what are you doing here?"

"What your sister can't just drop by for a visit."

"I'm just surprised to see you. Come on I'll introduce you to everyone, first off this is Angel. This is Sofi, Jack, and Bobby."

"Oh you must be the Bobby that my sister just can't stop…" My face turned bright red.

"Yeah so anyway, Bobby is it alright if I take a half a day. I'm going to take my sister out, and get her settled in my apartment."

"Don't worry about it. Hey Jacky you should go with them, you can pick up that stuff that I asked you to get." Bobby turned to walk away; there was something weird about him.

"Alright so where are we going to first?" asked Jack.

Later that day after a whole of taking Jack shopping we decided to back to my apartment.

"Welcome to my home of luxury." I laughed as I opened the door.

"Whoa it's actually clean, did you hire someone to come clean for you."

"Yeah you wish believe it not I'm a clean freak."

"Alright so where am I staying." Nikki started to parade around my apartment.

"Ugh, sisters be glad Jack that you don't have one."

Jack smiled.

"One room, you just have one room. You're kidding right. Where the hell am I going to sleep Madison, on the floor?"

"Well if you want to, I was going to nice and offer you my bed."

"I just can feel the love in this room." Jack laughed and walked into the kitchen.

"Do you want something to eat or drink?" I asked. I was unsure what he was doing.

"Yeah, I'll help myself don't worry."

"Ok, I guess."

Meanwhile my sister was unpacking her stuff in my room.

"Don't you have like a guest room or an extra closet, all my stuff isn't going to fit with yours."

"What Nikki, how long are you planning on staying."

"Well it's complicated."

"What now, don't tell me some bullshit story of how you got kicked out of another apartment."

"Oh well then I'll just say that I got kicked out of my boyfriend's apartment."

"Nikki, why do you get yourself mixed up with these losers! God haven't you learned anything from your past 10 relationships."

"Well if you want to get techinchal it's about 15 and what about you! Least my boyfriend was a crazy drunk that tried to kill you two times now."

"Oh well least I am responsible enough to put him and jail and not run back to him every time he calls."

"That's it; I don't need relationship advice from you! I'm leaving!" Nikki began walking towards the door.

"Would you cut it out and get your ass over here. Come on I'm sorry let's find you some room."

I loved my sister to much to let her go roam the streets of Detroit looking for a place to stay, I wasn't that cruel.

Later that night after we moved Nikki in, there was a knock at my door. Who the hell would be coming here? Then it came to me, could it be Bobby. The butterflies in my stomach fluttered as I went to open the door.

"Hi are you Madison Williams?" asked a teenage boy.

"Yes." I didn't know what to think.

"These are for you." He handed me two boxes of pizza.

"Thanks, but I didn't order a pizza."

"I did, thank you." Bobby handed him some money and took the pizzas.

"Hey, wasn't expecting to see you tonight." I shut the door behind him.

"Oh little fairy forgot to mention me stopping by." I looked over towards the couch; Nikki and Jack were entranced by the TV.

"No man, I forgot to pick up that other thing you asked me too." Jack didn't even look towards his brother.

"Can you believe these actress, there are so disgustingly skinny. Look you can see that girls rips. Gross she looks like a freaking skeleton! Hey is that pizza." Nikki got of the couch and took the pizza box from me.

"Ok then, would you like some pizza Bobby." He followed me as I walked into the kitchen.

After finishing our pizza, Bobby and I decided to take a walk. This was a better chance for me to get to know him better. Besides he never told me what happened to Chris, and I really wanted to know.

As we walked out Nikki and Jack were still staring at the TV. I looked over at Bobby and we laughed.

"Were going to take a walk, we'll be back." I said.

There was no answer, "Ok see ya, Bobby and I are going to Hawaii will be back in a week or so."

Still no answer, "Bobby and I are going to have some really rough sex and we would like you to join us."

"Ok have fun." Nikki finally replied.

I laughed as we walked out the door.

We walked for what seemed like almost forever, along the way I was trying to bring up Chris but it never seemed the right time too.

"Bobby, can I ask you a question." I was nervous.

"Sure, what do you want to know." He replied.

"What was your mom like?" I don't know why I said that.

He hesitated a bit and then answered. "She was great, the nicest woman I known."

"I wish my mom was like that, I don't even talk to her anymore. Only on Holidays do I see her. I rarely talked to my siblings except for Nikki; I don't know she's just my sister who really gets me for who I am. Yeah like you and Jack, you two seem close."

"Oh you mean my little sister, yeah Jacks a good kid."

"Yeah, so what about your other brothers. I mean I hardly know anything about them."

"Angel has La Vida Loca; Jerry has his wife Camille, and his two daughters Amelia and Diana."

"Oh, you and Jack are just somewhere in the middle then."

"Yeah."

As we walked closer back to my apartment I decided to make a detour to the liquor store.

Bobby had a very suspicious look on his face as we walked in. I got the feeling that he has been here before and something already might have went down.

"Hey if it isn't Bobby Mercer, how the hell are you," Said a bald fat man as we walked in.

"Hey Vinnie how are you." Bobby walked up to him.

"Who's this sweet girl your with. Come here sweetheart I don't bite."

I had no choice I walked up to him. "Hi, I'm Madison nice to meet you Vinnie."

"What a sweet girl, tell me what are you doing with a guy like Bobby."

"Who ever said I was with him." I smiled and walked away.

"She's a wise one; you better keep an eye on her."

Bobby smiled, "I will."

We paid for our liquor and went back to my apartment. As we walked up the stairs we heard someone scream. Bobby ran in front of me, pulling something out of his pocket he whipped open the door. I ran in the door way after him to see Nikki laughing at Jack.

"Oh my god you are such a baby." Nikki laughed.

"What the hell is going on in here?" Bobby put his gun back in his pocket.

"Were watching a scary movie and Jack the little pussy screamed his head off. It wasn't even a scary part." Nikki laughed even more.

"Jack, you little fairy scared the shit out of me." Bobby threw a pillow at his brother.

"I got us some liquor if any of you guys are interested." I walked into the kitchen and put the bag down.

"What you get me! Mike's please tell me some Mikes!" Nikki jumped up and down.

"Of course I did some Mikes, some beer, Jack Daniels, rum, and some coke. I'm planning on getting wasted."

"Not to wasted I hope." Bobby grabbed the jack.

"Here go little fairy, some Jack for ya. Drink this; it will put some hair on your chest."

"Heh, I'll let you know." Jack took the shot glass from Bobby's hand.

"I say we toast." I raised my glass.

"Toast to what." Nikki held up her bottle

"To meeting new people and for my older sister coming to live with me in Detroit. Saluda!" We clinked our bottles and glasses together. I watched as Bobby gulped his shot and poured himself another.

Later on in the night almost half of the bottle of Jack was gone. Nikki started getting a little crazy and put on some music. She started dancing and singing in the living room. Jack, Bobby and I sat and tried to attempt to play poker.

"Hey no cheating Jack I saw you looking at my cards." I pushed his head to the side.

"I'm not cheating what are you talking about." Jack tried to hold back his laughter.

"You're beginning to sound like Angel." I started cracking up. Jack and Bobby just looked at me. "What I thought it was funny." They both cracked up.

"Madison come dance with me!" Whined my sister as she came into the kitchen.

"Ok, I'm coming." I stumbled out of my chair and into the living room. Bobby and Jack followed to see what was going on.

My sister and I got on the couch and started to sing. "Don't you want somebody to love! Don't you need somebody to love! Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to love! You better find somebody to love!" We pointed to Bobby and Jack, and started to crack up

The rest of the night was pretty crazy; it was a lot of fun. As we began to wind down Jack and Nikki fell a sleep on the couch. Bobby and I decided to leave them and we ventured our way into the kitchen.

"Why is it Bobby Mercer that you do not have a girlfriend?" The words just rolled out off my tongue, I don't even think I meant to say that.

He looked at me for a long time and then answered, "I guess I just haven't found the right girl yet." He smiled.

We talked some more till my head started to feel heavy, and my eyes began to shut.

"Come on I'll walk you to your room." Bobby helped me walk down the hallway.

As I climbed into bed I turned and looked at Bobby. "Are you leaving me?"

He smiled "You need your rest."

"You can stay I don't mind."

There was a long pause, and then he climbed in next to me.

"Good night Bobby."

"Good night Madison."

It was by far the greatest night I have ever had in my life. With Bobby lying next to me, I felt like no-one at all could ever hurt me.
