Since I struggled to sleep all of last night, I spent all day Monday in bed. My parents spend the morning with my daughter and head back home in the middle of the afternoon, leaving Jonny to tend to Stephany. I head down to the club on Monday night, and things are relatively normal. Like my life is starting to get back on track since Spin showed back up in it. Speaking of, I haven't heard from him since he left on Sunday, but it’s not like we have each other’s numbers or anything… But weren’t we supposed to race?! As I was about to leave the apartment on Tuesday, there was a knock on my apartment door. That’s weird, since everyone usually just walks in, it’s always unlocked. I opened the door skeptically to find a man standing there in a suit with a clipboard in his hand. “Can I help you”? “I’m looking for an Amory Williams”, he says. “That’s me!” I answered. “Amory Williams, also known as Loyalty Hart, you’ve been served”, he says as he hands me a Mani
On Monday morning we all headed back upstate. I stop by the garage and make sure things are in order, signing off on whatever I need to. Brenda can handle the rest later! I stop back at the house to grab clothes and plan out how I’m going to work out giving three years of anniversary presents to Loyalty. I know it’s odd that I still got her stuff when she’s been tryna divorce me, but we’re still married and that was something worth celebrating to me until the very end! Brenda takes care of the court matters, and since we know exactly where Loyalty is, we can send the marshal right to her to serve her. It’s Wednesday when we all head back down to Brooklyn. I haven’t heard from Loyalty since Sunday night, but then again, it’s not exactly like we have exchanged numbers or anything… Not that I’ve changed mine! I’ve been checking up on her through the video link, and every time I do, Jonny is with her. Sunday night he slept on her couch. On Monday he actually left for a pe
I wake in the morning still exhausted! My mind is in overdrive debating the options. My phone won’t stop dinging from Jonny’s family texting me about the afternoon barbecue. I peel my drained ass from the bed and stumble out of my room… It’s sooo early! As I get to the living room, I find both Jonny and Spin each passed out on the sofas. “Well, isn’t this the most hysterical of bromances I’ve ever seen”, I say loudly, stirring them both out of their sleep. “Have a good night boys”? Jonny smirks at me while Spin glares. “Come on Jonny, we gotta go! If Nina or anyone else texts me one more time I think I’m going to snap”! “Who is Nina, and where are you going?”, asks Spin. “Nina is my mother and we’re supposed to stop by her house today”, Jonny says. Spin raises a brow at me as Stephany waddles into the living room and throws herself on top of Jonny. “We're going to see Nay Nay”, she says as Jonny snuggles her. “Yeah princess”, he tells her. “Put you
“Well, isn’t this the most hysterical of bromances I’ve ever seen”, Loyalty says loudly, causing me to jump out of my sleep from where I dozed off on the couch. Jonny sits up from the other sofa when she says, “have a good night boys”? I don’t find her amusing right now, my neck is killing me and since Jonny does this regularly he probably slept on the more comfortable of the two sofas. “Come on Jonny, we gotta go! If Nina or anyone else texts me one more time I think I’m going to snap”, she says somewhat aggressively, but he chuckles. “Who is Nina, and where are you going?” I asked. “Nina is my mother, and we’re supposed to stop by her house today”, Jonny says, as my daughter stumbles into the room, still half-asleep, and tosses herself on top of him. “We're going to see Nay Nay”, she says as Jonny snuggles her. “Yeah, princess”, he tells her. “Put your bathing suit on under your clothes, okay”? She nods and heads back the way she came without even offering
I woke the next morning to a quiet house, Stephany still asleep in the bed with me. I take a shower and dress in a pink backless spaghetti strap sarong wrap midi dress and a pair of matching heels. I walked out to the kitchen and started making pancakes! Jonny is the first one up with me. I swear he is good at like four hours of sleep. He gets the coffee started, then hugs me from behind. “You look beautiful this morning, mi Amor”, (my love) he says before kissing my cheek. I chuckle and say, “funny, I feel like shit! I have so much on my mind, and I think it’s time I got some stuff off my chest”! “Okay, let's hear it”, he says as he takes a step back from me. “Spin needs to hear it too”, I tell him. He nods, taking in what I’ve just said, and fixes his cup of coffee. Stephany joins us, and Jonny gets her a glass of watered-down apple juice and a few pancakes from the stack I’m still working on. She eats them with a bowl of strawberries. Spin finally wakes a
I wake to a smell I haven’t whiffed in over three years. Loyalty is making pancakes! But I’m completely disappointed when I step out of the guest bedroom to find that Jonny is already in the kitchen with her, and my daughter is at the table stuffing her face with pancakes and strawberries. No syrup, no butter! Her dietary habits are uncanny to that of Loyalty, to the point it almost grosses me out. But hey, if the kid looks just like me, at least she’d have that of Loyalty! “Ooo how I’ve missed these pancakes”, I tell her and she giggles as I roll one up and stuff a bite into my mouth. Then I had a seat at the table with Stephany. When Loyalty is done, Jonny helps her move everything from the kitchen to the table, and when she looks around confused, he jumps back up and grabs a bottle from the counter and hands it to her. She smiles, and when she is done squeezing some on her plate to dunk her pancakes into, I have a look at the bottle. It’s some organic strawberry purée!
~AMORY~ I wake up the next morning in just a tee and panties, thankful that I’m alone in the bed at least! I know this was Spin’s doing, and I don’t know how much longer I can take it in this fucking house… It makes me angry to even be here in this bed, that I walked in on my estranged husband having sex with another woman. But the bed feels different than I remember, it’s softer... Too soft! I exited the bedroom and checked the room across the hall to find it empty. Then I checked the next room to find it empty too! I text Melanie, who tells me that Gabby woke her about ten minutes ago for breakfast and they are down in the kitchen. “How’d you sleep?”, says Spin, as I enter the kitchen. “I dunno”, I told him. “That bed is most certainly softer than it used to be”! “I threw out the old mattress the day you ran out of here, I didn’t want to sleep on a bed with you that had been tainted by someone else”, he says. “Glad you thought that would fix things”,
I was startled out of my sleep when a large heavy body crashed into the super soft and bouncy mattress. “What the hell Spin”, I managed to get out before checking what time it was. “Is the baby okay”? “Our daughter is fine, I’m ready to make another one with you”, he says, causing me to glare and throw a pillow at him. I should suffocate him with that damn pillow! “One enough for you”? “I want more kids Spin, but this isn’t a conversation I’m ready to have with you or anyone else. Birth control is my best friend right now, so when I’m ready to have sex again, I don’t have to worry about it until I’m ready to worry about it. Plus, it alleviated those horrid cramps I used to get during my periods”, I tell him before I yawn and fall back onto the pillows. “Glad to hear it baby girl, but it's time to get up”, he says. He’s really starting to get on my nerves. “Nuh-uh”, I growl out as I roll away. “Spiiiiin”, I cry out when he clamps his jaw shut on my ass cheek.
