Jimmy took a deep breath as he stepped into his mother's room, he had reenacted this scene in his head for a while now. He knew he had no other option than to meet his mom, she always had a solution for everything. Asking for her help was something he wasn't proud of, but his father was stubborn. The only person strong enough was his mother.
" Come on in, son. " Yolanda offered him in.
" Hi, mom. "Jimmy's shaky voice was heard as he entered the room.
Yolanda carefully scrutinized him, " Something you want to tell me? "
Jimmy was pacing now, his hands covering his face as he prepped for what he was about to say.
" Jimmy, sit down. " Yolanda urged.
Jimmy took a seat, " Mom, I need your help. "
Yolanda wore a reserved smile as she took a seat next to him, " I know that. "
" It's Dad. "
" What about him? " Yolanda's eyes beaming with curiosity.
" He froze my card, I need him to unfreeze it. But he won't budge. "
" Hmm, he wants you to stay here. He knew that freezing it was the only way to get you back here. " Yolanda grinned, " And he was right. "
" Mom, I can't stay here. " Jimmy wanted to make it clearer, " I just can't. "
" I know that son, " Yolanda patted him on the lap, " I knew long ago that your part would not be with this family, why is what I don't know. "
" I'm sorry, mom. "
" It's okay, baby. "
" Help me talk to him. " Jimmy pleaded.
Yolanda took to her feet as she approached her mirror, seating next to it, she began combing her hair.
" You want me to help you get what you want? "
" Yes. " Jimmy knew where it all was heading to but he didn't mind, as long as he got what he wanted.
" What did I tell you about getting what you want? what's the law Jimmy? "
Jimmy lowered his head as he recited, " Finding out what they want and using it to your will. "
" Ah! " Yolanda exclaimed, " There you go. "
" That's why I'm here, I've got nothing. "
Yolanda nodded, " All these years, you finally learned something. I'm proud of you. "
Yolanda turned to her son, " well, what are you waiting for? put what you've said to good use. "
" But how? " Jimmy was clueless, " What do I do? "
" Look around you Jimmy, pay attention to the house for once. Everyone is a rogue, a hustler. Getting whatever they want by any means necessary. "
Jimmy saw the endgame, and he didn't like it.
" Just do the same. " Yolanda urged.

Sarah flinched as she felt Derrick's gentle push, how did he get so close to her? His physique now daunting and intimidating as he edged over to her. His chest fighting out of the apron that he wore, it was gorgeous.
" You said we're going over to Stephanie's house tomorrow? "
" Yeah, yeah. " Sarah nodded hysterically.
" So... after work? "
" Yeah... obviously. "
" Okay... goodnight? " Derrick replied as he stood still next to her waiting to watch her retire for the night.
" Good... goodnight. " Sarah sighed as she backed him.
