Mollie's POV

Ever since Michael left that day, I haven't really been able to get hold either of them. Every now and then I manage to get hold of them and luckily. Ocean and Michael agreed to come and meet me for coffee today, for a catch up and hopefully I can convince them both to come with me.

I'm sat waiting and when I see Ocean coming into the café I smile a fake smile at her as she comes over with the baby. "hi" she smiles placing her baby is a high chair then sits down. "hey. Michael working today?" I ask casually "kinda.. He's decorating"

"wasn't your house already decorated?" I frown confused. "I never said we had a house" she says confused. "sure you did. How else would I know?" I fake a smile "we still live with Michael's parents. You must be thinking of someone else" she smiles through pursed lips "I must have" I fake a smile at her knowing full well she's lying, because Michael's airhead of a sister told me. "so who's place is he decorating?" I ask changing the subject slightly "his brothers. Aisha's been Jermaine crazy about redoing the bathroom. So their paying Michael to do it"

"wait, he's gonna be spending the day with the woman he had an affair with and your ok with that?" I widen my eyes surprised she'd be ok with somthing like that. "it wasn't an affair. And I trust Michael. Just like he trust me with Jermaine.. We've all moved on from all that" she shrugs, but I can tell by the look on her face that it still bothers her a little.

We're sat talking for a while and even though she talked about them going for custody of their first kid and Michael working with his dad. She didn't give me anything to personal that I could benefit from. As we're talking she gets a text. "I'm gonna have to go. I'm supposed to be going shopping with Michael's sisters"

"ok, well we'll catch up again soon. All three of us" I smile and she nods, smiling back then leaves.

Once she's gone I get into my car and call Frank and let him know what happened. "I warned you this could happen!" He snaps at me down the phone. "it's not my fault!" I snap back. "it's not like I'm not trying. All I need is for the two of them to be away from their family and..."

"forget it Mollie. It's not gonna work anymore. Their completely clean now and their not gonna go back to all that now they have their lives together"

"sure it will! If we can get them up here. They'll start getting tempted again. It only takes them to relapse once and they'll start coming back for more and once their dependant on it again, they'll do pretty much anything for more"

"all I care about is selling. If their clean now. then fuck em! I got plenty more junkies I can sell too"

"not that are useful to us! You said yourself we could make a fortune with them" I point out. "yeah. COULD have, but it's not gonna work now. They've gone to far back"

"so your just giving up?" I say with an attitude and he sighs down the phone. "Look Mollie, your my sister and I love you, but I got other things to do. I said I'd help you at the time, but now it's getting too much work and to be honest. Michael and Ocean are nothing but a pain in my ass. And I haven't even seen or spoke to either of the whiney little brats in months!"

"you were perfectly happy to help me last time" I frown confused down the phone. "yeah, when you said they'd both be at your place. But instead you just had one and he had a kid with him!"

"but that wasn't my fault and.."

"look! If you can get them together ALONE! me and some of my boys will grab them, but until then don't bug me about it. You got plenty of others already. it's not like you need them"

"but not as young as these two" I point out. "yeah and they'll probably be in their 40s by the time you get them. The fact they barely speak to you and won't even tell you where they live should give you a big enough hint on that" he chuckles down the phone. "just move on and find some more and just give up trying to get them" I'm about to speak but he puts the phone down before I have a chance to

Aisha's POV

Jermaine got called into work this morning so it's just going to be Michael and I alone. Even though we all talked and worked everything out months ago and we all get along now, I still feel nervous about him coming here. I know he's not going to hurt me or anything like that, but this is going to be the first time Michael and I have been alone together since the day him and Ocean came to my apartment. I understand they were both on drugs at the time and I HAVE forgiven them, but it still makes me nervous just thinking about it.

There's a knock at the door and I jump slightly then nervously open the door. "hi!" Michael smiles "hey" I smile back at him. There's a moments silence between an he looks at me smiling through pursed lips. "um.. Are you gonna let me in?" He chuckles slightly. "YES! Of course come in" I smile moving out of the way of the door so he can get in. he looks at me confused but still comes in and as he walks past me I take in his strong sent and I start feeling butterflies in my stomach. "are you ok?" Michael asks and I nod. "mhm"

"Ok, well I'm gonna go get started" he smiles that beautiful smile at me and heads to the bathroom.

I go into the living room and try to distance myself as much as I can from him. I see Michael and Ocean all the time and yes I admit. I do still find him attractive, but I haven't looked at Michael in the same way I used to for a long time. I always see him as Michael and Ocean nowadays. But him being here alone is bringing back all those feelings I've been trying to bury. And now as I'm sitting on the sofa watching TV. all I can think about is running upstairs and pouncing on him.

*

I'm flicking through the channels and I hear Michael's phone beep and I take it upstairs to him. "I think you have a message" I say handing him his phone. "thanks" he smiles taking it from me. As he takes the phone from me, his fingers softly graze my hand slightly sending a shiver down my spine. And I stand staring at him as he reads his message. "so what do you think?" He mutters "huh?" I ask confused, looking at him in a slight daze. "the bathroom?" He chuckles slightly, replying to whoever text him which I'm guessing by the beautiful smile he has as he read the message it's Ocean. "It's really beautiful" I smile still staring and him. He's so captivating right now. He could have blown the bathroom up and I would even notice. "you picked a really nice colour. we were thinking of doing a similar thing with our bathroom" he smiles putting his phone in his pocket then turns to continue what he's doing.

I know nothing could ever happen between us again and even if I did want something to happen, Which I definitely DO! I know what happen between Michael and I will never happen again, even if I tried.

As I'm watching him work all I can think about is that night and how amazing he made me feel and how amazing his dick felt deep inside of me. I start feeling myself getting more and more hotter and worked up, as my mind begins to replay the whole thing in detail and I can even feel how good his touch felt against my body.

"you have you go!" I blurt out and he turns around confused. "I um... I have to do something. I- I mean go somewhere" I stutter. "that's ok, I'll lock the door behind me when I'm done"

"no! You'll just have to come back another time"

"have I said something to upset you?" He asks confused walking a little closer but still keeping a slight distance and I shake my head, trying desperately not to move closer and kiss him "I'm just not feeling very well. My heads hurts and you constantly banging is annoying me and making it worst" I lie. "um.. Ok.. I'll finish up another time then" he shrugs still confused and starts getting his stuff together and leaves.

Ocean's POV

I'm out shopping with Janet, LaToya and Nevaeh and we all decide to stop off and get some lunch before going home. "awww. She is gonna look so adorable in that" Janet cooes at one of the dresses I bought for Nevaeh and she starts showing me the new outfits she bought for herself.

The waiter brings our food over and we continue talking, then I glance over and notice two young girls about my age sitting at a table on the other side of the room. They don't see me, but I watch as one of them reaches their hand down behind the table behind her and take a wallet from a mans pocket and I can tell just by looking at them, their on the exact same thing Michael and I was all those months back. My mind starts going back to those days and how different mine and Michael's life was back then.

"Ocean?" I hear LaToya. I turn and her and Janet look at me confused. "is everything ok? You were just staring into space"

"um, yeah I'm fine. I was just thinking about something"

"thinking about what?" Janet asks "nothing" I mumble and they both look at me even more confused. "will you just watch Nevaeh?" I mutter heading to the bathroom.

**

I go into one of the cubicles and lock the door. I haven't thought about any of that stuff in a long time and now it's all I can think about. I know I'm always going to have moments like this and Michael has them too sometimes. I'm about to get my phone out to call him then realise I've left my purse at the table with Janet and LaToya.

As I come out of the cubicle I hear the girls from earlier in the cubicle next to me and the door is open. "w-we was just um.. My friends diabetic" one of the girls stutters and I see her friend hiding a needle behind her back. "it's the lights" I turn to the other one and she looks at me confused. "they put UV lights in public restrooms to stop drug users coming in. That's why you can't find a vien"

"we wasn't.."

"it's non of my business" I shrug cutting her off then turn around to wash my hands. "are you gonna snitch on us?" The first girl asks nervously "like I said. It's not my business" they both look at me relieved slightly and quickly leave, but as they do I notice a bag of brown powder fall from one of the girls pockets and I go over and pick it up. At one point a situation like this would be something great, but now I feel somewhat nervous and even more tempted than before.

"Ocean you in here?" I hear LaToya say coming into the restroom and I quickly put the bag in my back pocket before she sees it. "are you ok?"

"mhm" I smile through pursed lips. "are you sure? You look really pale" she says concerned. "I'm just feeling a little nauseous" I tell her honestly. "your pregnant again aren't you?" She sighs. "no. Why does everybody keep saying that?" I ask confused. "you said you felt nauseous and..."

"so!? Even men get sick doesn't mean their pregnant! I do other stuff than just make babies too know!" I snap. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to.."

"it's fine" I cut her off. "I'm just a little tired"

"ok, well we can go home now if your not feeling good and if you want I can take Nevaeh with me, give you a little break" she smiles through pursed lips and I shake my head. "it's fine, Michael should be back soon. He won't mind taking care of her himself.

Michael's POV

After Aisha kicked me out, I go home and about 10 minutes later I get a call from Jermaine flipping out.

"what the fuck!? You did half the job and left a mess everywhere?" He snaps out me down the phone. "because Aisha told me to stop!" I try to explain "why would tell you stop? She been bugging me about this bathroom for weeks!?"

"I don't know. I was working and she told me to leave. She practically threw me out and said I was annoying her with the banging and I had to go!"

"can you come back and finish it tomorrow" he sighs frustrated. "I have work tomorrow. The only day I have free is Sunday"

"Sunday then?"

"fine. But if Aisha starts yelling and kicks me out again. I'm not doing it" I say sternly. "I'll be here next time and I'll speak with Aisha and make her apologies to you"

We continue talking and I hear the front door open and Ocean comes into the living room with Nevaeh and she looks really nervous. "I'll call you back" I say to Jermaine hanging up without waiting for his reply and rush over to Ocean "baby, what's happened? are you ok?" I ask worriedly putting my arms around her and she starts getting even more upset. I take Nevaeh from her an put her in her bouncer then take Ocean onto the sofa. "what's happened?" I ask again

**

"I'm sorry. I know shouldn't have picked it up and..." She pauses and starts getting upset again after telling me what happened. "it's ok. You didn't take any. That's the main thing" I soothe her pulling her close to me. "but I wanted to... And.. Apart of me still does, but I don't.. But I do" she says confused. I hold her close to me not saying anything. We've both had moments when we've felt like this and just last week I was feeling exactly the way she feels right now. But having those temptations put right there for you is the hardest part "do you still have it?" I ask and she nods looking at the ground. "give it to me" I say softly and she hands it to me. "we're gonna do this together" I smile at her through pursed lips and take her hand

and she gets up from the sofa and follows behind me.

"Are you ready?" I sigh and she nods. Just like Ocean, there's so many times I've wanted this so badly and at some points would be willing to anything to get even a little bit. We both smile at each other and pull each other in closely as I flush the whole lot down the toilet.
