“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.
Today I have a purpose… I wake early and head for my bedroom where I find Loyalty still asleep. I jump onto the bed, startling her out of her slumber! “What the hell Spin”, she whines as she looks at the screen of her watch. “Is the baby okay”? “Our daughter is fine, ready to make another one with you”, I told her. She glares before tossing a pillow at me and lying back. “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”, she says and yawns. Fair enough! I guess she’s right in that sense, since her voyage through our daughter’s pregnancy was less than ideal. “Glad to hear it baby girl, but it's time to get up”, I told her. “Nuh-uh”, she says and rolls away! I lean over and sin
In the morning I wake relaxed even though I feel a firm chest under my head. I look up into the face of Spin, still asleep. I reach up and rub his cheek. His eyes flutter open the way they did that very first night I slept in this bed with him. “Baby girl, I have to get ready for work”, he says as he slides me off him gently and sits up before shaking off his sleep. “Sleep”, he tells me as he kisses my lips and pulls the blanket back up over me.While he’s in the bathroom, Meme comes bouncing in the room and launches herself right on top of me! I grunt, causing Spin to stick his head out of the bathroom door. “Meme, what are you going to do when she’s pregnant again?”, he says to her.“But she’s not”, she says and sticks her tongue out at him. “Come on bitch, I got a proposal for you”!“Why yes Meme, I will be all yours you cow. Only if you get the fuck off of me”, I whine.She laughs, “no seriously though”, she says as she pulls the covers back and spanks my as
The first thing I feel is Loyalty lifting the side of her face off my chest. Then her soft hand caresses my cheek like the very first night she ever slept in my arms. I open my eyes to look at her and she doesn’t startle this time, “baby girl, I have to get ready for work”. I gently roll her to the side of me and sit up to shake off my sleep. I kissed her plump lips before pulling the blanket back up over her and saying, “sleep”. She nods, and her eyes flutter shut again before I head to the bathroom. Meme barrels through the door, being her typical self, and bounces right on top of Loyalty, who moans out in pain upon impact. I crack the bathroom door open and say, “Meme, what are you going to do when she’s pregnant again”? “But she’s not”, she retorts and pokes her tongue out at me, still so juvenile that one! “Come on bitch, I got a proposal for you”, I hear her tell Loyalty. “Why, yes Meme, I will be all yours you cow. Only if you get the fuck off of me”, Loya
