Devon: (walks in the house)

You: (following)

Roc: Suuup.

You: (smile)

Roc: can I talk to you? (Puts his hand on your back and guides you to the kitchen)

You: (face him)

Roc: (scratches his neck)  i just want to apologize for the other day. I hope I didn't make you feel...we...uh...uncomfortable.

You: Roc.  (Shakes your head)

Roc: no I mean. I really don't want things to be awkward or uncomfortable between us.

You: It's not. We were both just...having a moment, I guess.

Roc: (looking at you)

You: I should get back home. Did you want to call me when Dev is ready?

Roc: yeah. Or Jami was helping my mom out back if you wanted....

You: (laugh a little bit and shake your head) I'll pass this time. 

Roc: (smiles) I'll walk you out.

Y'all walk out the kitchen.

Mrs.August: (walks in from outside) Jamie did you find it?

Jamie: (stands up from behind the kitchen island) Found it...(holds up the watering cans)

Mrs.August: I knew I bought some. Cj must've thought it belonged with the pots. (laughs)

Jamie: (smiles)

They walk back out

Outside

You: (get in your car)

Roc: (holding your door)

You: (tries closing it)

Roc: Oh yeah, Chloe asked about taking your class again.

You: she's still on that..(cranks up the car)

Roc: (laughs) yeah. It's crazy. Just yesterday they were doing ballet. Now they want to be out there shaking everything.

You: (laughs) there's not that much shaking.

Roc: so what, you giving in now?

You: I'm just saying. They are young adults now. Pretty soon they're going to be moving out and making their own decisions. And to be honest, I rather she dances at my studio then at some night club.

Roc: (looking at you and smile a little) well I only hope that they have the same head on their shoulders as yours when they're older.

You: (smile and roll your eyes) so are we doing this?

Roc: what if I came to watch...

You: (laugh) now you know that'd make her uncomfortable.

Roc: (laughs) that's the point.

You: you're too much.

Your phone rings..

You: (answer) hey babe.

Roc: (looks into the distance)
