NerdBae - Part IX
Authors Note: I know this part is shorter than usual but I’ll make up for it with the next one, I promise - hopefully it’ll drop sometime this weekend. Happy holidays to everyone :)
_____
Elle could feel the energy between them. Tre could too. Sitting eating snow cones by the beach - the wind blowing through Elles hair creating the perfect picture. They’d managed to behave like adults, keeping their hands to themselves and the PDA to a minimum but it didn’t mean Tre didn’t have to subdue his other thoughts. It didn’t mean the connection between them wasn’t white hot.
“Last museum”
“I thought we visited all of them?” Elle shrugs.
“Not the sex museum, maybe you can ask me your questions there?” Tre rises with an outreached hand. Elles puzzled expression makes him smile. Taking his hand she follows as he leads the way.
Upon entry; dicks are everywhere. They easily out do the lady parts. Elle is drawn to the section on burlesque, the costumes, the routines - all of it.
“So you’re a tease that likes to play dress up, look but don’t touch” Tre says standing behind her and putting a kiss in her neck and drawing his own conclusion.
“I’ve never done nothing like that Tre” Elle laughs amused at the thought. Elle stops seeing a canopy bed with posts to make handcuffing and restraints easy. “Have you ever used that?” Elle asks pointing only to get a nod.
“Yes” he affirms.
“If you don’t mind telling me what turned you off of sex?” Tre asks as they walk around the BDSM section.
“It was okay at first, but then it wasn’t, then it was the same excuse every time and I’d get nothing out of it but a tension headache and I thought something was wrong with me for a long time” Elle explains omitting the nitty grits details the mechanics.
“Did he make you come, was there not enough foreplay, was it uncomfortable?” Tre asks the same questions her shrink had.
“No. No and it was just bad” Elle shrugs openly. Tre shakes his head completely irritated at the idea of someone not fully respecting a woman like Elle.
“I did some research, there are names and safe words - do you follow those”
“Yes” Tre nods. “It’s very important especially in the beginning; when limits are being tested. I was never in relationships with the women who was my subs - it was just for fun, no strings. So boundaries were the small talk, set the expectation and move forward” he explains like its transactional.
“Whats your favourite thing?” Tre smiles.
“Not yet” he refuses.
“Come on you can tell me” Elle laughs only for him to shake his head in refusal.
“When it happens, I’ll let you know” he chuckles. “But aside from that I’ve always wanted to take my lady out while she has a vibrator that I control in her and watch her try to keep calm.” He smiles making Elle do the same.
“Thats fucked up Tre” Elle laughs. “I’d just take it out”
“Then you’d be punished”
“Then what is she supposed to do text you the safe word to stop?”
“There could be a hand signal” he reasons.
“And you’d just stop just like that?” Elle asks.
“The arrangement only works if theres respect on both ends” his words plunge Elle into thought as her eyes take in all the sights around her.
“How do you feel about it, talk to me” Tre comments fully attentive to the change in her energy. Elle could sense his nerves returning, his eyes wanting her approval.
Elle shrugs taking a deep breath before smiling, “I know what bad sex is like and I wouldn’t want to be that for you. That’s my biggest reservation now. My safe word would be siren” Elle winks the last part making him smile. “You’re not allowed to call me pet ever” Elle asserts conceding to trying things out without an official declaration. Tre’s stunned still as she continues looking around - her ass looking even better in her jeans.
Jeans. His least favourite article of clothing for women to be in. It was practically armour.
“Are you on birth control?” He asks discreetly.
“No”
“Well that should happen, my doctor is incredible - best stuff without negative repercussions later”.
“No rules?”
“Honesty, I want to know when you do anything sexual. What you liked about it, all your visions, reveries, turn ons. I have to know about them” He continues as they leave hand in hand. “You don’t have to keep secrets, ask, tell me. You’re not just a sub to me - we’re a lot more than that to each other” he explains.
“Okay my knight and shining armour” Elle teases.
“That has a nice ring to it” he jokes back.
A/N 2: Talk to me people! How much longer so we think Tre can go without some action? Is he right about what he thinks of Elle and what about Elles reaction to his fantasy? Is anyone with her by just removing it ? lol

NerdBae - Part VI
Authors Note: Hey, babes! Caught the writing but this morning so you all will be getting more sooner than later. Thanks for all the support for this series and hope you like it.
Elle found herself in a position that was beyond awkward; and alone for the first time she could remember. Gina had always been the keeper of her secrets but it couldn’t be this time. If Tre wanted his lifestyle to be known he’d have to tell Gi on her own - Elle wouldn’t do that to him. But still. It left her in a precarious position with no one to talk to who could understand the full magnitude of the situation. There’d been flirting and touching and looks and almost a kiss and then that porn. But it was Tre. Tre! Tre who went to prom alone. Tre who in college when they’d went up to visit blew off beautiful women to hang with his sister, her best friend and mom’s. Tre who buttoned their blouses to the neck to preserve their innocence and whose eyes never lingered at a fat ass or plunging cleavage in Elles presence.
He’d been a pillar of virtue her whole life, Gina prided herself in making her big brother squirm. Elle enjoyed it from time to time too. Being his ‘girlfriend’ was Elles way of defending the defenceless - coming to his aid. Only to find out he was the man - somewhere between all of that she’d started to have foreign feelings. She could be herself around Tre - he wasn’t like other men that just wanted sex, he’d had her in a position and made no advances.
“Elle?” A voice calls snapping her out of her thoughts and she sees Lily looking at her awkwardly.
“Yeah?” She responds and Lily sits across from her in the booth at the coffee shop. “I just wanted to apologize for speaking out of turn - I didn’t mean it maliciously. I swear” Lily explains as Elle reads her body language feeling only truth.
“Excuse me for not understanding your thinking” Elle shrugs sipping her drink.
“Well” Lily sighs. “Tre’s the best at what he does and he hasn’t been active. Then I hear he has a girlfriend and I see you with him. Tre doesn’t really do that so I figured you were his sub and his girlfriend. Its not really taboo among people living it - because who else can we talk to besides each other. He’s a natural so I didn’t think he’d go vanilla but its not hard to see why, you’re beautiful and he must really love you to quit” she explains herself openly.
Elles teeming with questions on the inside but this isn’t the place or the person to ask, especially when she’s supposed to be in a relationship with an expert.
“I appreciate your apology” she smiles standing and heading into the car to head back to the house. She’d been mad at Lily first and then mad at Tre for not having her back. The revelation didn’t piss her off as much as it scared her. It erased the foreseeable future of them being anything but friends in her mind.
Sex parties, submission and a whole lot of other shit Elle hadn’t practiced or partook in ever. She gets a shiver thinking about his calm her first night when she’d been perplexed by the intricate positions and he’d cooly demonstrated them with ease. Impressive then, horrifying now she’d heard he was the best by someone clearly well versed in the world.
“Hey baby, where you been all day?” Jo asks Elle getting a smile as she walks in.
“Bookstore and coffee shot, trying to find something good” Elle smiles.
“Any luck?”
“Negative” Elle smiles until Tre materializes from the movie room area.
“She’s home Tre. We were waiting for you to come home and watch Get Out with us.” Jo continues handing Elle a bowl of popcorn.
“Got a headache, I’m going to be in my room, enjoy it ma” Elle smiles excusing herself and making herself scarce.
….
“What did you do?” Gina asks walking into the gym finding Tre pushing through his midday workout. Shed noticed Elle’s trepidation and change in demeanour around Tre and gotten nothing from her best friend. “What did you do? One minute Elle is the best I’ve ever seen her around a man and the next she’s giving those fake polite white woman smiles and doesn’t want you near her?” Gina rants.
Tre sits up wiping his sweat and catching his breath. He noticed the same thing, Elle had asked for space he had to respect that but there’d never been distance like this between them. Elle had always been warm with him, sweet, honest. He could do far more than any other man could even by just being in her presence during candid moments.
“A misunderstanding”
“Elle is a very understanding person Tre, what happened?” Gina pries further.
“We were out and a woman I’ve been with asked if Elle was my pet?”
“What?” Gina shrieks before he can continue. “White bitch? Did Elle slap her? Did you have Elles back?”
“It wasn’t like that?” He tries and Gina steps mack hands on her hips.
“What the fuck Tre?” She asks lost. “Elle pretends to be your girlfriend to make you look good one of your birds tries to disrespect her and you don’t stand up for her? I’m glad she won’t speak to your bitch ass, you have no balls!” Gina snaps walking out of the gym too mad to work out. “To think I was rooting for you and you just treat her like shit! Live every other asshole.” Gina continues.
“Watch your mouth Gi” Tre warns
“Oooh” Gina gestures feigning fear before flipping him the bird. “Don’t check me check the bitch that just lost you quite easily the best thing that could have happened to your spineless sorry ass! You fucking Prick!” Gina shouts rounding the corner into the kitchen.
“You’re not going to speak to me like that in my own house or act like I’d ever purposely do anything to jeopardize any of you”
“Hard to fucking tell, what are you going to do throw a couple thousand? Like one of those rich fat fucks you work with?”
“Where was this energy for Cameron huh? If you’re such a good friend to her why did you let that happen? If you’re so perfect and I’m such a loser why have I been supporting you through your dreams and schemes? I’m always a call away, an e transfer away, always!” He shouts so upset his voice vibrates through the space startling Gina still.
“Elle’s had enough of bitches, you aren’t man enough for her - be upset all you want. I don’t want to speak to you either” her voice shakes.
“When you’re perfect i’ll take you’re judgement, until then shut the fuck up and keep your opinions to yourself” Tre snaps just as their mother and Elles walk in startled at the scene.
Never, never in their lives had they heard Tre raise his voice at his sister and Gina did a considerable amount of prodding him through the years. In a huff Gina grabs her purse pushing past them and heading for the door. Tre swallows turning and heading back to the gym to work out.
The mothers look at each other in shock not knowing where to start.
Gina smiles taking a breath before she pulls off, she lets out a chuckle. She’d never in her life seen Tre so mad at anyone, not his bullies, coaches, competitors, their piece of shit father, no one - not for nothing.
“That boy loves her” she smiles thinking out loud.
A/N 2: I Know, I know its a lot! What do we think about Elles trepidation, Lily’s revelation and Tre’s infuriation with the situation? Gina, Gina, Gina. Thanks for reading, don’t forget to comment and let me know what you think!

NerdBae - Part V
Authors Note: Hey, babes! back to back drops! I’m gonna be gone for about a week or two - so there’ll be minimal if any story ads. Ill be replying to comments and questions though! Hope you enjoy this :) xx.
__________
Jogging up the stairs after a long day at his lab Tre hears music coming from Elles room. His mothers were at the beach and he knew that. He knocks at her open door to find her in the mirror doing her hair.
“What are you up to?” Tre asks kissing her forehead and sitting on the couch.
“Shopping, Ginas out so are our moms. There’s a party tonight”
“Party where?” Tre asks.
“I don’t know I’m just going with Gina and I need an outfit” Elle responds as Tre adjusts his position on the chair getting a Tiffany blue box from his pocket and placing it in front of her.
“I was out and one of my mentors was getting something for his daughter”
“What?” Elle smiles looking at him and not the gift.
“Keychain for some overpriced car for a kid but that’s none of my business” Tre comments making Elle laugh. “Not enough safety features and too much power for a sixteen year old Im serious Elle. What kid needs a Ferrari?”
“One with rich parents. You’re telling me if you have a daughter and she wants a Ferrari you’ll say no”
“I’m smarter than saying no but I’d get it for her and make sure it had the necessary safety features” he says honestly making Elle laugh and open the box. Goosebumps appear in seconds as she turns to face him with a big smile.
“Tre” she smiles handing it to him to put it on her and he does fulfilled by her reaction.
“I remember how much you wanted it”
“I forgot all about that” Elle laughs admiring the return to Tiffany bracelet she obsessed over as a kid. “Thanks Tre” she adjusts the bracelet happily. “Do I look like an early 00’s dream girl?” Elle teases making him laugh.
“Better” he says as his business line rings. “I’ll be right back, I’ll come with you” he says heading out.
....
Elle was an Olympic shopper. Decisive and direct with her eye on the prize always knowing what she wants so there’s no need to spend too much time anywhere where things aren’t. Somehow still she was a whirlwind to keep up with pulling dress after dress. Gina would have him in Gucci but Elle passed Barney’s for at regular stores fanning him off to assure him she’s a regular girl.
They’d argued for five minutes about how it made him look under the pretence of him as a boyfriend before she conceded. Miserably.
“Tre” a buxom brunette with a very impressive top shelf says. “Heard you settled down, is this your new pet?” The girl smiles confusing the shit out of Elle who looks up at Tre. He swallows shitting himself.
“I’m no ones pet” Elle defends herself making the woman’s face contort.
“I’m sorry” her smile fades relatively genuine. It’s another loop until his friend Rob emerges holding take out containers.
“Tre” he smiles. “Elle” he continues.
“Rob I’ll call you” Tre says taking elles hand but she takes hers back heading to the car not knowing how or what to feel. He puts the bags in the trunk getting in and looking her over.
“You know I get the door for you”
“But you can’t defend me. Shut up” Elle folds her arms annoyed with him. He sighs again leaving the parking garage and getting on the freeway back to his place.
“So you’re just going to ignore me?”
“No I’m going to embarrass you tonight like you embarrassed me just now. Your pet is going to behave terribly” Elle Informs her irritation rising. Tre was the last person in the world she expected that to ever happen with.
“She wasn’t being derogatory, lily talks too much but she’s not a bad person” Tre snaps under pressure.
“She wasn’t being derogatory? She looked at you like a gourmet dinner then asked me if I was a pet like it was some big joke. And she knows your best friend so she’s not some stranger” Elle explains.
“I’d never let anyone disrespect you ever, Elle and you know that”
“I thought I did” Elle responds with sad eyes forcing Tre to grip the wheel out of frustration.
“Have you heard of BDSM”
“I’m not twelve” Elle snaps annoyed. “What the hell”
“I’m a Dom” he says forcing Elles mouth shut and her eyes open.
“What?!” Her tone is laced in confusion and disbelief.
“I was with an older woman as a sub first. Sub is short for submissive. But then things ended with us and I was working for Rob on the side providing his club security. It was a sex club. I know I’m disgusting and it’s deplorable. It’s above the board, blood work, clean bill of health all that. It got old and I stopped going to the parties but I’d still see the girls from time to time. Respectably they were pets. It’s not degrading just like people take great care of their pets the premise is the same thing just the context is sex - sometimes a relationship. I’ve been focused on getting you all down here with me. So I haven’t been there in over a month. I’m sure there was some talk at the party about you being the reason. Lily spoke out of turn, she misinterpreted things.” He finished as Elles head spins so fast she opens the window to quell her nausea.
Silence befalls the car again Elle at a loss for words.
“What does everyone know that’s what you’re into”
“No, the club is very discrete. Girls wear blindfolds most of the time with their customers. Parties work differently but my work crowd doesn’t know that’s what I’m into. Security and discretion is the key to Robs business” Tre stammers a little through his response.
“You can like what you like Tre but friendly or otherwise I’m not a pet. I don’t care if that girl thinks it’s an honour” Elle reasons still offended and Tre is rejected by her when he tries taking her hand.
“I’m sorry, I’ll talk to Lily”
“Spank her she’d probably like that” Elle mutters completely upset.
“Elle” Tre reasons.
“I’ll get over it I just need some time.”

Authors Note: Talk to me people! Did we think Nerdbae was doing all this? Gloves are off? How do we think Elles gonna deal with this?

NerdBae - Part IV
It was impossible not to feel the electricity budding between them. It was everywhere and everyone could feel it just as much as Tre and Elle did. She’d had a little too much to drink after the banquet and got a little too drunk. Tripped on the steps and into Tre’s arms like in the movies, all the wide eyed passion between them only for the impending kiss to be interrupted by Gina opening the front door. Then a week of meetings and R&D for Tre that had been planned for months.
“Y’all need anything?” He asks finding Elle and Gina in the movie room giggling after midnight.
“Ice cream, the one we just bought and chips” Gina fans making Tre chuckle.
“Please” Elle reminds her demanding friend.
“I got you” Tre nods getting the snacks happy to see them comfortable in his home theatre. He hands them their requests before Gina gets up.
“Gonna go call my boo”
“Gi!”
“This shit is boring and Tre will enjoy it more” Gina says leaving with her snacks only to be ice grilled.
“He’s a better cuddler anyways” Elle shouts throwing a pillow playfully. She opens her pint of ice cream stopping herself from taking a spoonful and offering it to Tre.
“Want some?”
“You good” he refuses.
“Too much sugar or something”
“Yes and sugar isn’t good for any part of our bodies, especially highly refined and processed” he begins making Elle smile. She could see the wear of him from the stressful week taking the spare eye mask from the vacant chair beside her.
“We’ll invent something to save me from my sweet tooth” Elle mutters eating the spoonful anyways. It was her response to anything. She opens the package placing the jelly like substance under his eyes.
“I’ll give you all the sugar you need” Tre smiles grabbing her and smothering her with kisses while tickling her mercilessly. He’d missed her a lot.
“Thank you, as much as I appreciate that affection attack this is still my shit, taste it. Then sit still this is good for your eyes” Elle hands him the spoon and he understands the minute it melts on his tongue.
“Wow”
“Uh-huh” she responds as he continues having some. It takes her no time to smooth the patches onto his under eye area. “See this is how you need to be around the competition, confident and yourself. Relaxed” Elle adds.
“Business gets to me because it’s how I provide. All I’ve ever wanted to do was take care of you guys”
“And who takes care of you?”
“All of you do, except Gina but I’ll give her a pass cause she loves me”
“Does she?” Elle teases with a raised brow. “I’m joking, she’s always singing your praises. We both are and we love you Tre. Even if you couldn’t provide” Elle admits. He’d grown up with a chip so big he wanted to be what they all needed in exchange for all the love he got as a kid. All the laughs, adventures, whoppings.
Her phone rings from a blocked number and she ends it immediately.
“Cameron?”
“It’s likely but I’m done. Haven’t been this happy in a long time to be honest, had to learn the hard way I guess. Thanks for inviting us all here and being you” elles words are sincere. He wants to kiss her lips. She was never this sweet with other men, not even Cameron when they were together. He’d seen them together a few times - she wasn’t under him, cuddly or so soft spoken.
“Happiest I’ve been in a long time too Ellie. I’m happy you’re back. I’m here for everything always” he repeats earnestly.
“So right now you’re going to cuddle me and watch this movie and tell me it’s amazing” Elle says getting comfortable and rewinding the parts they missed. She falls asleep in his arms before it’s over and he carries her to her room ticking her in and kissing Elles cheek wanting to get in bed beside her.
“You gonna be okay sleeping in here alone?” He asks.
“Yes?” Elle smiles making a face of uncertainty.
“Come on”
“Lines are a bit blurry - so I better just stay in my room” Elle blushes getting her phone. “You make me nervous when you look at me like that” Elle admits feeling the weight of his gaze on her and liking every bit of how it feels.
“Cant help it” he shrugs openly. “And I know how it goes until you’re comfortable in a space you don’t sleep then get groggy. Come on” he takes her hand gently walking her to her room.
_________
Tre helps Gina stretch - she’s one a mission to get thick. Somehow their mommas genes skipped Gina and she was tall and thin for the most part. They head to a juice shop she he gets her his special.
“Tre, this is amazing”
“Told you” he smiles as they sit down watching the waves crash on the coast. “It’s paradise here, I don’t want to leave”
“Y’all don’t have to” Tre responds honestly. “The house is big enough for all of us. I can move mommas to the pool house and they can have their own areas, whatever makes y’all happy” he shrugs. Gina rests her head on his shoulder.
“How about when I get a boyfriend or Elle and we bring guys home?”Gina smiles feeling his tense knowing she’s hit all the right buttons. “You think you’re slick T but I caught all the looks, you were buzzing”
“You didn’t tell me that she got locked up” he comments.
“We already know I have - she wanted her privacy” Gina defends. She’d spent a night in jail on her twenty first for being plastered.
“That’s not Elle, if she acted out she was hurting”
“Yeah well she was. She broke dishes pulled down curtains rods and all, threw a paper weight breaking a window took an knife to his canvases. Cam kept telling her to stop then she threw a crystal at him and knocked him out for a few minutes. She did cpr and called 911 they came cuffed her up. Cam woke up demanding them to let her go saying it was a lovers squabble or whatever the fuck. She wouldn’t even let him bail her out”
“So is it over for good?”
“Yes! Elles ashamed he got her to that place. I saw the place when I went to get her things. It looked like a natural disaster hit. She was screaming this is art too then and fuck your art.” Gina laughs. “God, I wish I could have seen it live. Stirred the assholes loins, he writes her letters now. Saying bullshit like her passion showed him he made the wrong choice and he’s been painting her but she’s pissed” Gina explains laughing. “I was proud of her”
“She doesn’t need that”
“So she needs you?” Gina questions.
“Yes”
“It’s about time your balls dropped” Gina laughs at her brother.
“What’s so funny G”
“Nothing, you were her first crush, she’s always sweet to you. I’m pretty sure she’s crushing still. All Jo was talking about the other night was how good the two of you looked together. Which means you have my blessing, her moms and we both know Ma adores Ellie” Gina explains making Tre smile.
What’s not to love? He thinks to himself. She’d been the sweetest girl ever. She was always sharing and helping however she could. Even when Gina terrorized him she’d give him a hug. It’s never been her character to cause tension or lash out.
“It’s Elle, if we don’t work out the family is broken” Tre explains with a logical reason against his possible happiness.
“When did you fail at getting something to work. If she’s not feeling you then that’s that. But even if she is, Elle won’t make the first move.”
“Why are you being nice”
“My title for your personal enterprise is consultant. I figure I might as well contribute to my salary every so often. Who knows you strike gold and I might get a raise” Gina winks.
Authors Note: Thanks for reading everyone! How are we feeling about the two main characters? And Gina’s work to get them together? And the actions that landed Elle in jail for a night? Comment your feedback, xx.

NerdBae - Part III
Tre smiles seeing all the girls in his home in the living room like it’s a beauty parlour. He’d missed it more than anything. There was a time when they were all they had in the world. His dad hadn’t been in his life much. His mom had struggled. He’d tried to help out when he could. Then Gina and Elle had become friends and she spent so many days at their house. Then Nina his mom and Jo, Elles mom got close. They were their own little village, thick as thieves.
“I have a surprise for you ladies” he charms getting a loving look from his mother.
“I hope mine is the nicest big brother” Gina chimes and Tre hands each of them a letter addressed to them. They all open them in silence and Elles eyes are the first to his in shock before the screaming starts from Gina.
“Baby, I cant take this” his mother says with a trembling hand and a lightening heart beat.
“Yes mom you can” he reasons.
“Tre, you might need this” Jo adds.
“I don’t and there’s not a single lie there on that paper” he explains causing the mothers to blink in disbelief.
“Thank you” Gina squeals squeezing him tight.
“You’re welcome” he kisses his sisters cheek happy to see her happy.
“A hundred grand a year after taxes for being family, shit Tre!” Gina smiles jumping for joy.
“Just accept it, you’ve worked hard enough momma and momma Joe. I’m in a position to help now - let me.” Tre explains too good to be true.
“What about when you want to start your own family, you’re going to need” the selfless women continue.
“Mom, haven’t I always been dependable? Trust me when I say this is safe, it’s fully legal, it’s not even fully what you deserve but I won’t accept any of you not accepting it” Tre puts his foot down. Elle sits in utter shock still unable to move.
“Baby” his mother says and the water works start from both of them - years worth of weights off of their shoulders. He tries staying strong as they hug him but the tears fall. They didn’t have to do anything anymore, except for live their life and answer his phone calls to make 100k after taxes each year. Everyone’s dream job and a long time coming for the mothers that did everything to be there for heir kids. They’d become best friends through their daughters and had been the only people to make him feel like he was good enough.
The hysteria dies and Jo looks at Elle holding the letter with shock still in her eyes - the only person who hadn’t shed a tear.
“Tre” she sighs having read the letter through. There were other perks, other ridiculously thoughtful perks.
“If I start crying, it’ll be very ugly” she swallows feeling overwhelmed and emotional but the tears roll in like a storm as she walks into his arms genuinely appreciative. She’d always been a sweetheart. She wanted nothing more than to unburden her mother and herself and Tre just swoops in with pure intentions to save the day. It turns into a group hug and seeing them happy makes him feel like he’s won the Nobel piece prize.
————
Jo had always been an early riser, she never had a son but she loved Tre like he was her own. He was shy and introverted but he loved talking the load off. They bonded over making breakfast.
“Morning Angel” she smiles and he gives her a coffee starting on his morning smoothie before smelling one of her world famous omelette.
“Morning Ma, you don’t have to” he smiles.
“You’re still my angel and I’m here - so I might as well” she justifies handing him the plate. There’s nothing for him to do but smile accept the dish. “You got Ellie to show emotion, she’s been pretty distant and bogged up lately” Jo comments.
“You know she loves you”
“I was too hard on her” Jo reasons.
“She’s strong, she can take care of herself, she’s doing well” Tre reasons hoping to ease Jo’s worry. The kids never told their mothers their dilemmas or pains. They’d always been their emotional support team.
“She loved that boy a lot, I just can’t imagine him not breaking her heart. I know he did and none of us got to be there for her through it” Jo shrugs feeling guilty. “I wish she liked good men, kind men, men like you Tre” Jo says scrambling the eggs and starting on French toast making the six burner stove her bitch.
“She’s here with us again, as far as I can tell she’s good, all we have to do is love her. She loves us.” Tre says sitting to eat.
“And we love you kiddo” Jo smiles. “Need me to iron your shirt and tie for the party tonight?”
“Ma I’m good” Tre kisses her cheek.

It took the village, the mothers had got Elle into her gown, perfected her elegant hairstyle and Gina and Elle co created her make up look. It felt like too much when she looked in the mirror seeing nothing less than the glamour of a sixties starlet.
“Don’t let any of those sleazy bozos touch my best friend, disrespect by best friend or make her have to put the pause on pretty to defend you okay” Gina instructs Tre running the lint roller down his suit one last time.
“No ones doing anything to Elle” he tells Gina wearing a serious expression and making his sister smirk.
“Make it count Tre, who knows what could happen? Besides I’m sure if your first crush is beloved by your family, cleans up nice and takes care of you; that adds brownie points” Gina says casually getting a grimace. Elle wasn’t Tre’s first crush. He loved her growing up and thought she was sweet.
“We both know my first crush-‘
“Sometimes you’re very stupid” Gina huffs adjusting his tie clip. “Go on you’re going to be late.
Elle smiles looking Tre over as he gets into the car taking them to the event. “You look spiffy” she compliments as he looks her over.
“You look perfect” he compliments honestly.
“Thanks, don’t make my head bigger” Elle laughs
Casual conversation sustains the car ride there before they walk out hand in hand to the busy event hall. People were everywhere coupled with suggestively dressed servers and the whole nine yards. What overwhelmed Elle even more was how much everyone seemed to like and respect Tre. Husbands and their wives wore genuine smiles inviting them to dinner telling stories that absolutely sounded like him. How he’d swooped in and saved them stress, time and money by helping them solve a problem. Elle watched as he worked the floor expertly, she saw the longing looks from other women and watched people throw themselves in-front of him to make their elevator pitches.
“Who’s this beauty” a man says coming up casually.
“Don’t even look at her like that Rob, this is Elle” Tre mutters making the mans eyes widen.
“You didn’t say she was a smokestack” Rob says candidly making Elle smile as Tre pulls out her seat to begin the dinner and innovation ceremony.
“Elle this is rob my best friend, Rob this is Elle”
“Pleasure” Rob smiles looking her over with unspoken words in his eyes, before looking up at his friend.
The night goes extremely well even when they come across the three guys from the mall. Their company is powerful but they’re the minority in terms of people who are assholes to Tre. He helps Elle into the limo only to be socked in his shoulder the moment he’s buckled in.
“Ouch, Elle what was that for?” He holds the assaulted region, concern in his eyes.
“For playing me like a fool Tre” Elle smiles annoyed and amused. “You didn’t need me there everyone loves you there. You let me believe they were jealous bullies when they’re jealous cause your the man to be” Elle huffs shaking her head pleasantly surprised.
“So you hit me?” Tre asks.
“Yes!” Elle chuckles folding her arms still a little shocked. “Honestly can’t take you and all your surprises” she admits making him smile. He takes her chin like he had time and time again all night placing a respectful kiss on her cheek. He pulls back to look at her and it feels like theres a force keeping them together before they both smile at the same time embracing each other.
“I’m sorry for keeping things from you, I just wanted to make the most of the situation”
“You’re forgiven but I’m done giving you all the compliments and all that because I see you know you’re that guy - still you allow everyone to act like you’re timid. Especially Gina” Elle reasons making Tre laugh.
“I get insecure like everyone else Ellie and I don’t do anything for Gina that I don’t want to do, or anyone else for that matter. I don’t like conflict and nothing makes me happier than seeing you all happy.” He admits honestly .
Tre was genuinely taken a back by Elles decorum. She looked like a million bucks and definitely belonged in another age with her glamorous charm that almost felt old Hollywood with her full figure and million dollar smile. He’d never seen her be so soft. It wasn’t that she was hard but there was never an instance where she wasn’t a strong and assertive woman that stood her ground and now she was the complete opposite silencing all his critics and competitors with her charm. He’d been told several time by elder veterans in the field to lock her down with a ring in only an hour at the party.
“Thank you for coming and making me look good”
“No problem sweetie” Elle teases making him smile before tickling him playfully.
“Behave” he laughs finally able to restrain her gently.
“Okay” she concedes.
“We haven’t really talked about how you been, you and your mom have been a little awkward” Tre reasons.
“You mean about Cam and I ending? That was a year ago now”
“No one knows what happened”
“Gina does”
“Yeah but you have blood pacts” he exaggerates.
“We’re having a good night Cameron is the last person I want to talk about. Its humiliating” Elle admits.
“You should know you don’t have to hide anything from me” he says and Elle sighs pulling away from him.
“I thought Cam and I were good, he had this new concept a love storyboard in eleven pieces. It came with an accompanying poetry book with a painting on one page and its poem beside it. He was sleeping with his child’s mother still, and it was all about her and I was just there to get his career off the ground and his artistic muse but not his inspiration.” Elle sighs shaking her head. “I embarrassed myself with a ver bad reaction and spent the night in jail. He didn’t press charges and I’ve moved on” Elle shrugs.
“Cant imagine a man sleeping around on you?” Tre says. “I’m sorry that happened”
“Could’ve been worse Tre. Had I have been really in love with him - who knows what would’ve happened. He wrote a letter after he realized I wouldn’t talk to him. He said he did it to provoke me and because I wasn’t doing what a woman should in a relationship” Elle smiles.
Tre swallows in shock, it’s not what he expected. Not at all. He’d met Cameron and didn’t like him but he didn’t think he’d be stupid ugh to mistreat a women like Elle.
“I’m sorry he hurt you” he says making Elle smile.
“He wasn’t enough of a man for you anyways. You deserve much better” Tre affirms making Elle smile. “You should go for guys like me, until you’re ready for that stay single. You’ve been through enough - these muscles might come with higher testosterone would you want me getting my ass kicked for defending you?” He asks making her laugh.
“Even if a lion hasn’t killed in the wild before, it’s still a lion with all its programming. There’s a reason you weren’t getting beat up and you’re good at football - that’s why people don’t play with you” Elle explains honestly leaning back on his shoulder.
“Forget the five star restaurant let’s go home, get moms and Gina and lets go bowling like one times. As a family” Elle suggests.
“Nah, you’re still my girlfriend for the next few hours” Tre says chuckling a little. “Besides you gotta talk to your momma when you get back so you need the liquid courage.”

NerdBae: Part II
A/N: I really appreciate all the feedback on part I of this series so far! It keeps things fun fresh and interesting for me as a writer. Hope you love part II just as much.
Tre couldn’t stare long admiring the sight of a woman he loved in his bed sleeping peacefully. He appreciated Elle’s trust and felt as responsible for her as he did for his mother, hers and his sister. He knew he wasn’t tough enough to run the streets. He didn’t have the heart enough to risk doing anything that would make them cry tears of sadness. It’d been too song since he and Elle were together in person for more than a few minutes and he wanted to make the most of it. Get to know her again though it already felt like he didn’t need to.
After his morning workout and emails he heads downstairs to make her favourite French toast. Her smile when he walks in warms his heart. She laughs covering her face sleepily.
“You’re spoiling me rotten” she laughs sitting up to look at the plate and its perfect presentation.
“You still like this right?” He asks having gone out and bought the mangoes she always likes to have for breakfast before anything with syrup.
“Of course, you can have some let me go to the bathroom” she smiles leaving.
“I’m good I ate” Tre says before the doorbell sounds incessantly.
He heads downstairs to answer the door grinning from ear to ear when he sees his mother, Elle’s mother and Gina.
“Baby, how are you doing?” His mother smiles squeezing him.
“Good Ma, how are you? Momma Jo, Gigi?” He asks taking his time to hug them all only for Elle to run downstairs.
“Its about damn time!” Gina smiles hugging Elle like they’d been apart forever and it’d only been a month.
“Hey Momma Nina, Ma” Elle smiles hugging Nina and her mother for the first time in too long. Her mom squeezes her tight threatening sentimentalism causing Elle to pull away.
“We should toast” Gina smiles always aware of her friends mood.
“We’re all grown now Tre’s brought us together - we haven’t started pissing each other off yet.” Gina monologues getting the bottles she’d bought at the airport.
“Its ten in the morning crazy, come on lets eat breakfast. Tre made some we can share”
“We’re rich now Tre has money - we don’t have to share anymore!” Gina exclaims making her mother shake her head.
“What can I make you Gigi?” He asks.
“Omelette, ham and cheese and watermelon circles not triangles” she smiles always being difficult.
“You just ate piggy” her mother teases.
“I’m trying to get thick!”
“You’re a mess G” Elle smiles heading up the stairs and back into Tre’s room where her breakfast awaits.
“Ooh you woke up in his bed and got brought breakfast - you’ve got your groove back and turned my brother out?” Gina smiles stealing some mangoes. Elle only shakes her head at the nuttiness of her best friend.
“Shut up” she says chewing a mouthful.
“What?”
“No one turned anyone out” Elle clarifies.
“I don’t know how were friends sometimes?” Gina groans annoyed taking a bite of Elles French toast.
“He’s your brother”
“And you’re both uptight you should- Gina is silenced by Elles hands covering her best friends oversized mouth.
“Shut up - don’t want to hear it. Besides don’t you think my priority should be making nice with mom?” Elle reasons rationally.
“Good dick can relax you, calm you”
“G, then you need it way more than me” Elle laughs making Gina do the same.
