we own it;

“That’s the thing,” Sawyer stated, left hand waving out to the side. “His demo wasn’t bad. It just needed some work, which was why I told him to come back.” Much like her mother before her, Sawyer wanted to help people reach their dreams. However, she refused to sacrifice the integrity of what her mother had built to do that. “His attitude was all I need to see to know he wasn’t in this for the music. He just wants to be ‘famous’.”

Andre listened to her, nodding his head a little bit. He didn't know much about the music industry. Although he did want to be a musician at one point in his life. Plus that was still part of his dreams but he wouldn't admit that to anyone. "Hopefully he does come back. Maybe he just needs some time to cool off or something.” He shrugged a little bit before nodding his head some at her next words. “Those have got to be the worse. When I played in the NBA, there were some players like that. They didn’t love the game just wanted the fame.” 

Her head cocked to the side as she bumped him gently with her shoulder, “What’re you talking about? You’re the one who helped with the set up and the clean up Andre! It’s you that I should be thanking.” Maisie could not deny that Andre was being incredibly sweet and helpful to her. It made her feel good to know that someone was going out of their way to make sure she was doing this well. And of course, Maisie had plenty of people who cared strongly about her safety and well-being but Andre was definitely showing up in the quieter moments as well. “Let’s do the bench. My feet are sore today.” She shook her head. Maisie prided herself on strength and health which didn’t involve pain unless she authorized it through pushing herself in a decent work out. But this she didn’t enjoy too much and who would? “Oh, well thank you again. I can definitely come pick it up though.”

He shook his head slightly, as he looked over at the blonde once again. "It really wasn't a big deal. You are the one that threw the party. How about we did that as a team effort?" Andre suggested. There was no point in denying how sweet, and nice he was to her everyone could probably see it. But truthfully she was worth it and he didn’t mind helping her at all or being there for her whenever she needed him. Whenever she needed him, he would be there without a doubt and he hoped that she knew that. “Bench it is. Sounds like you might need a massage or some good rest off your feet.” Pain wasn’t something  that Andre was fond of considering how his career ended, his knee injury had been horrible. “It really isn’t a problem. Are you sure? I don’t mind bringing them to you.” 

‘‘I’ll sell them to you, name your price..’‘ Jamie joked with his friend, letting out a laugh. ‘‘They aren’t all bad, they just like to be a bit of a handful. Which is totally understandable.’‘ He shrugged, looking down at his lesson plans. Hannah had always been better at the parenting thing than he was, he’d always been the fun Dad, and now he had to be both mother and father to his kids and it was overwhelming at times. ‘‘Oh it’s fine, they’ve managed to tire themselves out. Moana is doing the trick of keeping them entertained.’‘ Jamie smiled, gesturing towards the living room. ‘That’s probably a good idea, I don’t think my Dad would love it if his grandkids ruined his teams chances of winning..’‘ 

"You don't even have to sell them to me. I'll take it for free." Andre joked lightly, with a small grin. "Yeah, I can only imagine. It probably isn't the easiest." He nodded his head a little bit. Andre didn't mind being there for his friend whenever he needed a night or whatever to himself. He would take them. He was the cool uncle after all. “Moana is the best trick to make them entertained.” That grin of his turned into a small smile now. “Probably not, which is why I don’t mind doing that.”

Marley: Keep denying it bc it only makes this SO MUCH cuter.

Marley: Back at ya, Fields. I love you ten times more for that. I mean who do you think is a part of your biggest fan club?

Marley: C'mon you have to say it was a good one.

Andre: I will keep denying it.

Andre: Totally you I can see it now. You are president of my fan club.

Marley: You've got it bad, Dre.

Marley: See! You know the way to my heart is Maisie.

Marley: LOL I couldn't help myself.

Andre: I've got no idea what you are talking about.

Andre: And you know that I'd take care of both of you if needed.

Marley: It's not good at all. Down right, unsafe!

Marley: I'm a good sister who cares about her little sister's well being.

Marley: If you so please. I know Jamie is unavailiable XD

Marley: Kiddingggg.

Andre: Exactly! I did bring her lunch the other day.

Andre: I know you do. And I care about both of your well being.

Marley: Maisie's home alone and probably starved.

Marley: I may or may not have ordered food from her fav place and need a charming deliver man to bring it to her.

Marley: Be my saving grace?

Andre: That isn't good.

Andre: Did you now?

Maisie was exhausted after Sunday night, the bottoms of her feet still sore from running around all day long. But the spoils of the evening spoke for themselves as patrons left fed and satisfied. The highlight for Maisie and everyone seemed to be Marley’s antics. Thus, the success of the event carried her through her painstakingly long day of work the day after. 

Maisie looked up from her desk and saw Andre coming through the doors, a bright smile breaking out onto her face. She, however, had not expected him to bring her lunch. Her mouth dropped open before an emphatic, “Yes I absolutely do. Wow, thank you so much Andre.” He’d been so helpful from the moment she’d invited him and it hadn’t even stopped with the party. Maisie was extremely grateful to him and more than he probably knew for this lunch specifically. She placed the sign up at the front desk, before moving around towards the front of it where he stood. “Outside maybe?” 

It had been a long day on Sunday, even though all he did was make some cheese dip and help her out. But still all of the cheering and booing at the television made for a long Sunday. Marley’s antics had been funny and quite enjoyable but truthfully he was just glad to hang out with his friends not to mention hanging out with Maisie.

Andre was honestly just hoping to make Maisie's long day more bearable plus it gave him a chance to see her. Even though he had just saw her the previous night. A smile broke out onto Andre’s lips when he heard that the blonde had time for lunch with him. “Sweet. Not a problem, really. I figure it is the least I could do.” He didn’t mind helping her set up for the party and helping her clean it up afterwards. “Outside sounds good to me.” Moving over to the door, he got it for her. “We can walk and eat or eat on the bench. Whichever you want to do.” He honestly didn’t mind. “Also that sports gear that ordered is in, so I can bring it over later or to the school.”
