Today's the day Dre gets out. I haven't seen her since I basically confessed i loved her. I miss her so much, but I can't even show it. We agreed to keep 'us' on the downlow. We're not dating but I guess we're just talking or seeing eachother. "Mike, Dre's mom wants to see you. She's in the lobby." Ally said." okay, I'm coming."I said getting up. I walked out to the lobby, "hey Michael, how are you?" She said greeting me with a hug."Good, you?" I asked." Just fine, but I need a favor." She said."Sure, what is it?" I asked." they're not letting me off work to pick Dre up and her dad is very busy. I was wondering if you or Wesley could go get her." She asked. "I'll have to talk to will first. He's out of town so I'm running the studio solo right now. Let me call him up real quick. " I said excusing myself.I'll went back into my office and called him.**"Thanks will." I said hanging up.I went back out into the lobby. " He said it was okay Wesleys gonna run the studio while I'm gone. Am I bring her straight to your house?" I asked."Yeah but if she wants to come to the he studio or get some food she can." She said."Thank you so much Michael, we really appreciate it. " She said then rushing out of the studio. I called Wesley up and told him what was up. As soon as he showed up, i left to go pick Dre up. It took about an hour to get there, I'm so excited to see her, it's been a couple months. I arrived at the rehab center, i checked in then went up to her room. I opened her door, ad I saw her still packing some things away."Knock knock." I said. She jumped at the sound of my voice."Michael!" She smiled hugging me. "Hey, how are you? " I said hugging her tight. "Ready to leave, where's my mom? " She asked. " They wouldn't let her or your dad off work, so she asked me to pick you up. "I said. " oh, okay. I'm almost done packing. Just have a couple more things." She said."Its fine, take your time." I said.She taped up a box then started putting clothes in another box. "Do you need any help? " I asked."No thank you. " She said. Her attitude is different. Definitely not as depressed." okay, I'm ready." She smiled.I grabbed 2 boxes and she grabbed the other boxes.I signed her out, " goodbye Dre. Remember you can always call us if you need anything. "Dr. Taylor said hugging Dre. " Okay, thank you. ...for everything. " Dre said. We walked out of the rehab center and loaded up her stuff. We got into the car and headed on our way."So where do you wanna eat?" I asked her.she smiled silently, "olive garden sounds amazing right now. " She said."You just read my mind." I giggled."Olive gardens always on your mind, it's your favorite restaurant." She said."I haven't ate there in a while though." I replied. ***We got to Olive Garden and then was seated."What can I get you guys to drink?" The waitress asked. I looked up from my menu. She looks oddly familiar..."Lemonade please." I said."Umm Sun drop." Dre said.She wrote it down then left."Does she looks familiar? " I asked.Dre looked back looking at her, "Oh my god! That's the waitress we had when we ate here before we took you to rehab!" She exclaimed."No way!" I said.Dre just started laughing. "Oh no...." I groaned. Dre contained her laugh as the waitress came back with our drinks. "Here's your guys drinks, what can I get you guys to eat, would you guys like to start with an appetizer? " She asked staring at me... "I would like a salad to start with." Dre said covering her mouth, trying to not laugh."I would like a salad too, then for my meal I'd like the Italian tour.""Just like last time? " the waitress said. My eyes nearly bugged out of my head! Why does she remember what I ordered?!"I'd like the same." Dre said. The waitress wrote it down then left. Once she was gone Dre died laughing!"Its not funny." I giggled."I think it's hilarious! She remembers what you ordered 6 years ago, 6 years ago!" "Can we leave?" I joked."Nope, this is funny." She smiled.So we ate our food and talk a bit. " oh my god this is delicious. The food at the rehab sucked. " She said." Yeah I know. " I laughed.She held her belly as we waited for our check.The waitress came and handed me the check, winking...I looked down at the receipt..." oh my god." I groaned. "What?" Dre asked. " Just look." I said handing her the receipt.She busted up laughing, " call me stud here's my number." She laughed.I signed the receipt, "let's go." I said.She just keep laughing, "aren't you forgetting something? "She said holding up the receipt that had the number on it. "Ha.ha.ha. so funny...." I said sarcasticly.I opened her door for her as she got into the car, then got in and started the car."So either i can take you home or we can go to the studio." I said."I just wanna go home. I don't wanna see everyone just yet. " She said looking out the window. I grabbed her hand, rubbing my thumb over her knuckles. "No one is judging you for everything that's happened. Everyone is just glad you got help." I said. " Its embarrassing. " She said. " Youre embarrassed cause you got help? You-""No michael! I embarrassed for the way I behaved before then. " She snapped."Dre...no ones holding that against you ." I said softly."Can we please stop talking about this?" She asked. I left it at that. I took her home and helped her take things to her room.

" alright thats the last box." i said,

" thank you Michael." she said then hugging me. I hugged her back, she kissed my cheek then let go of me but i didnt let go of her. i brought her close to me looking deep into her eyes. I brushed the hair out of her face then we both leaned in till our lips touched.she wrapped her arms around my neck as i held her waist. My tounge slipped into her mouth deepening the kiss, she let out a light moan then pulled away.

"Im sorry." i said feeling as if i was a bit pushy.

"For what?" she giggled.

" I wasnt being to pushy was i?" i asked

"No,but i just had to stop before it went any further cause im still not ready for that stuff yet." she said.

"Its fine, i told you ill wait. Just like i did the first time. Whenever youre ready." i said. she smiled then pecked my lips lightly.

"Are you sure you dont want to go to the studio with me?" i asked again. she took a deep breath," i guess ill go to the studio." she huffed.

"Everyones excited to see you." i smiled. she nodded.

We got to the studio, i helped her out of the truck. We walked into the studio and Trey was the first one to see us.

" GIRL! HOW ARE YOU! Ive missed your crazy ass." he said hugging her. "Hi Trey." she giggled.

"trey why are you ye- Hey Girl!" Ally said then hugging her. Everyone came and greeted Dre. She acted as small child trying to kind of hide behind meas people tried talking to her.

"Okay, um guys i think thats enough. Back to work." i said. everyone left and went to work. "Can i go to my office?" she asked.

" Of course. you dont need to ask Dre." i giggled. She nodded then headed to her office. I went to my office and sat down looking threw paper work.

there was a knock at my office door,"come in." i hollered. In came Wesley.

"Hey, whats up?" i asked.

" Nothing. I was just wondering how shes doing? she acted a bit frightened back there." wesley said.

"Shes fine, shes just scared everyone is going to judge her." i said.

" oh, were all just happy she got help." he said.

" thats what i told her." i said.

it was silent for a bit. "Mike lets be real, whats going on between you two?" wesley asked.

"Nothing Wesley, ive told you this.Were just friends. im helping her through this because i know what its like and its hard." i said.

" But the day before everything happened you could barely stand the site of her and now you guys are best friends?" he asked.

" I decided to put the past in the past. i cant stay made at her forever and plus Dr.Taylor had us talk out our problems and so were cool now. What is so wrong with me and her being friends?" i asked a bit frustrated.

" Nothing Man. nothin. just curious." he said then leaving my office.
