SPREAD THIN [ABOOGIE] - CURRENTLY EDITING

[CHAPTER EIGHT] "The life we have created together."

"And I'm sorry about that. I wasn't trying to play in y'all face like that, I thought you know pops would rely the message."

"We appreciate all your help big brother for real. Take care of your family man. We'll be good, Things got back to us about some other things they didn't really needed to be said but now that it's out it makes the situation look funny in our eyes you know?.."

Deandre walked into the room and stood by the night stand, "I mean that didn't have anything to do with the decisions I'm making now. I have a girl on the way and that what I told pops."

"Well then I figured it got lost in translation then."

"But you know like I said I apologize for putting my hands only both of y'all, it was unnecessary, we should be chilling right now."

Darin just smirked, "Ain't this your second honeymoon? You should be with your new wife and baby. Everything cool over here, everybody apologized, we hear you big bro."

Deandre caught his shade and chuckled to himself. He turned to Dawson and gave him another firm handshake. "I was serious about what I said, I was wrong. And I'm sorry so let's leave my wife out of it because this is between us." Deandre had already apologized but he wasn't going to stand for the shade. He never said anything about what his brothers girlfriends or what they did with their money, anything they earned he never expected a dime. He knew his brothers had their own families so he didn't understand why they were coming at him. They spent their whole lives fighting. Three teenage boys and one nine year old, it was a lot of testosterone in the household. And since Dawson got involved with the law at a young age, things fell on Deandre's shoulders.

Now that they were older and everybody had their own little families things should've been going smoothly. But, somehow things always seemed to go the wrong way.

"My babes." Deandre approached Mariah and Zein on the deck, looking at the water. "You his look beautiful." They kissed and hugged each other, Mariah tried to read his face.

"Everything okay?"

"Perfect. Especially now that I'm with you."

"Have you eaten babe?" She tried to read his face. "Nah, it's food still over there?"

"You order up there, I got the burger - omg .. just look at the menu it's up there. Because the buffet food is..." She made a disgusted expression and Deandre laughed. "Got it." He kissed Zein and walked over to the stand.

While he was ordering a girl walked over. "Have you ordered yet?" He stood his head no and continued reading the menu. She stood up behind him and looked around. "Have you tried the buffet table?"

"Nah.. but my wife said it was nasty and to try here."

"Oh ..okay I'll take your word for it."

Once he got his order taken he stepped to the side and tried the lemonade. "Oh yeah this the shit."

"You can tell by the lemonade?"

"If you can find the perfect white to sugar ratio, you are a god." They both laughed and she put her hand on his arm for a second while laughing. "Oh I'm sorry."

"Order 27!"

"Enjoy the cruise." She grabbed her dessert and walked away before he could say anything else. Deandre shrugged it off and continued to wait. Meanwhile, Vena was not pleased with what she had just seen. And she was ready to tell Mariah all about it.

"What are you doing out here?" When she found Mariah on the rail outside she was furious. "You need to be inside watching your man."

"Andre?" She looked at her then back at the stand, "Yeah right."
