Chapter 14 – Never Enough
Bosco was pacing back and forth in front of Faith's apartment complex. The way he looked, he was pretty sure people would think he was a crack head that got lost and was now out side their stoop talking to himself.
What really was the case, he was actually nervous, panicked of meeting Faith's family for the first time. He still wasn't sure why he even decided to take the offer in meeting them. He didn't know them, hell he only known her for a while, how does that make him eligible to see her family?
For the hundredth time that day he put his hand through his hair, scared that some hair that he had missed had popped up and was sticking out in every other direction. Why the hell was he so worried anyway? He never would have cared prior, and if he did he been cool about it. This wasn't his style.
That is when the pacing had started, was him trying to decide if he should meet them or not. He would talk himself out of it then turn back around and say it was okay, then going back to talking himself out of it again.
"Bosco?"
Bosco turned to see Faith standing there with the door open giving him a questionable look, trying to figure out what he was doing.
"How long have you been standing there?"
He just shrugged and just continued to stare at her. Faith could see the emotions running through behind his eyes. To anyone else he could hide it, but Faith was a mother she could see what laid behind people's eyes. He was scared to meet her family, scared he would be a disappointment and make a fool out himself, and her for inviting him. Faith then nodded her head towards inside.
"Come on."
Bosco stood there for a slight second, hesitating then he trudged up the stairs following in behind her. Not much was said as they made their way towards her apartment. But before they reached her door she turned and gave a warm smile. "You look nice."
Faith hadn't really paid attention till she caught a glance as they made their way up the stairs. He had a nice new t-shirt on, and pants that weren't threatening to slip off his ass any second, also a big part of his new look, he looked clean. People that hung out on the streets for some reason did not take a lot of baths, always looked used and abused. As long as she known Bosco, she never seen him clean, and for the first time she noticed how cute he actually was.
She noticed a spark come to his eyes, happy that she had taken note and looked at his appearance. "Thanks."
Then upping her eyebrows she then asked him, "are you ready?" With a nod from his head she opened the apartment door.
Fred was sitting on the couch and put the TV on mute as Bosco and Faith walked through the door. He stood up and put his hand out.
"Nice to meet you finally, heard a lot about you." Fred said as Bosco took Fred's hand and gave him a firm handshake. "Likewise." Was Bosco's reply.
"Hope its all good." Fred caught Faith's glance but it was nothing but a small smile.
Bosco let out a short laugh, which was uneasy one. Bosco started looking around as silence quickly found the threesome as they stood there trying to figure out what they should talk about.
"Would you like to meet the kids?" Faith jumped in not wanting for Bosco to feel not welcomed or feel awkward that he felt like he had to leave.
"Sure."
"Great." She then turned around and left the room as she called out the kid's name, which they then in return scrambled up behind her.
"This is Charlie," putting her hand on Charlie's head and then doing the same with Emily, "and Emily."
Bosco never had really to deal with kids, so really didn't know what to do with them or himself for that matter. Didn't know what to say to them, so he just gave a short nod and soft wave.
"Are you a cop like Mommy?"
Bosco looked over at Faith not sure how to answer that question. Faith let out a laugh that was more then anything but shocked that her son had said that. She hadn't really expected that from her son as she grabbed Charlie by the shoulders, which Charlie had no idea why that would even bug Bosco.
"No, remember, I told you Bosco's a friend of mine."
"Yeah but did you meet him being a cop?" Charlie was curious now and when a child's curiosity was being shut down that only made them push harder to find out from their parents.
"You could say that." Bosco said with a smirk. Yeah how do you tell a kid, 'your mother actually arrests me and I'm a criminal?' Faith mouthed sorry to Bosco, but he just shook his head no, he didn't care.
"Sooooo who's hungry?" Fred jumped in noticing the quick of the tension with the child's questions. Emily and Charlie began jumping up and down. "I am, I am."
"Good lets get started…hope you like chicken Bosco." Faith stated as they all made their way towards the kitchen, which wasn't a short trip.
"Hey I'm going to go wash up." Bosco then not waiting for an answer, Bosco walk towards the bathroom and shut the door. He stared at the mirror. 'What the hell were you thinking you idiot? You don't fit in at all with them. They're nice and you're a scumbag…you'll never fit in.' As Bosco began to wash his hands, he thought maybe he could come up with an excuse. That his stomach really began to hurt him and he should go home and that they should plain this another time. But then he decided against it, he made his promise and he was going to stick with it.
Coming back out of the bathroom he had a plate waiting for him as they were loading up on the food. They then made their way towards the table as they all sat down. Not much was being said as everybody was eating the food and silverware was hitting glass plates. As they started to end their meal Fred held in a burp that emerged and he then looked over at Faith.
"Excellent job, great meal."
Then her kids joined in giving Faith credit in how good the meal was. The only person that had yet to say thank you was Bosco. He still was eating like he never eaten before. When he felt people were staring up at him he looked up from stuffing some mash potatoes into his mouth he looked around. "What?" He said with a full mouth, so it came out more mumbled then anything. He saw Fred giving him a look of 'your forgetting to say something to Faith.' After Bosco swallowed his food he finally looked down at it.
"You did a good job."
"Thank you Bosco." Bosco then gave his shrug, like he could careless if he had said it or not. Just as he was reaching for his drink, Charlie again surprised Bosco by asking him a question he wasn't ready for.
"You don't eat much do you?"
Bosco not expecting such an accusation on his character that he ended up spilling his drink. The liquid spilled everywhere onto the table and then it went and got onto Bosco's pants. He jerked back and stood up.
"Fuck." He looked up and saw Emily and Charlie's face and knowing they probably didn't hear those words, he then looked at Faith and Fred feeling embarrassed. "Shit." That was the next curse word that popped out and then he felt even guiltier as Emily and Charlie's mouth's dropped open.
Faith finally got up and went to grab some towels and was handed some to Bosco as he tried to get his pants that now looked as though he peed on himself.
"I'm sorry."
"That's okay, won't be the first time they heard a curse word."
"I really should go."
Bosco made his way towards the door, as if he had tail it would have been between his legs a Faith turned looked at her family who was still staring at him. Faith then caught up with Bosco as he opened the door.
"You don't have to leave."
"Yeah I do...thanks though." He then turned and walked out of the apartment, as Faith shut the door quietly and then looked back at the table. 'What a dinner.'
(Few Hours Later)
Bosco walked down his stairs. He was on a mission. Go to the store and get some cigarettes. He had run out and he was going to go freaking crazy if he didn't get some more. What he didn't expect was to run into Reggie. Before he could even get the words out of his mouth to say 'sup,' Reggie beat him to the punch.
"So now you hang out with Pigs?"
"What?" Bosco was a little bit shocked by this remark. Not even knowing how Reggie knew about the bust, or Faith for that matter.
"Oh don't play stupid, its all over the street you're a little nark now."
Bosco waved him off and went to continue down the street but Reggie grabbed a hold of his shirt and spun him back around. What Reggie didn't expect was Bosco's reaction, for Bosco turned threw Reggie's hand off of him and took a step back. A look appeared over his face as to say 'don't touch me again.'
Reggie had known Bosco for a long time, and never had Bosco actually reacted that way towards Reggie. It always seemed as though Bosco was placed back when he was a kid and his father was wailing on him, and could never move. More then once Reggie's temper had gotten to him and he would start hitting Bosco, and Bosco just took it. But now, Bosco was showing aggression, in fact, Reggie looking Bosco up and down, he was even dressing better.
"I see, little bitch cop becomes your friend and suddenly you turn, stop hanging out with me…what's with you?"
"Maybe it's not me."
With that Bosco being done with his friend, turned back around and walked away leaving Reggie standing there. Reggie stood there as though Bosco come back any second and they be friends again. 'No it's that fucking bitch….she'll learn, I'm going to teach her." Reggie with dark ideas on his mind he turned and walked away.
A plain starting to form into his mind as he walked towards his own home. Shoving his hands deep down into his pockets, he was going to show that stupid pig, screw with his friend. He had to show Bosco, this woman was manipulating him, and nobody gets away with doing that to his friend, no one.
TBC……
Life's been sucked out of me and this routine's killing me.
I did it to myself, again I said this would not be.
Somebody put me out of my misery.
Expression, stimulation, I'm loose inside myself.
I did it to myself again. Somebody put me in my place...
CHORUS:
Never enough, Never enough
Do I deserve what I got?
Now everything's okay, there's nothing wrong with me.
This seems unnatural, to me I'd say in everyway.
Somebody kick me in my face.
Now something's wrong with me,
I'm bleeding profusely and this seems natural.
To me I fucked up everyday, somebody put me in my place...
Chorus
What I got, What I got, What I got, What I got...
I feel as if I'm running back to where I started.
Ask what's wrong with me and I say nothing.
Is everything ok? Is something wrong with me?
Pushing and pulling feelings, eternal my heart is yours
I feel as if I'm running, I feel as if I'm running,
I feel as if I'm running..
RUN! LIFE WILL KNOCK ME DOWN!
Chorus
LIFE WILL KNOCK ME DOWN!
