I was awoken by Jonny getting ready. Clearly, he still has that military mentality, as he’s up at nearly the crack of dawn no matter what time he goes to bed. It’s annoying… I mean, you run security at a nightclub… Sleep a little later than seven! Being the night owl that she is, I dunno how Loyalty puts up with his shit, but then again, he takes care of our daughter all morning while she sleeps.I know when he’s all the way up because I smell the coffee brewing. I get up and we have a somewhat quiet stand-off in the kitchen when Jonny makes a funny face and pulls his gun from his back. “Expecting anyone”? I just shake my head no, as he peeks his head around the corner of the kitchen toward the back door.“Lala?”, we suddenly hear Maxine calling from down the hallway.“Still asleep Maxine”, Jonny says with relief as he puts the gun away and enters her line of sight.I heard her embrace Jonny as I stepped out into the hallway too. Her husband, Kevin, is now enter
It’s so stiflingly hot, yet I don’t want to open my eyes. Something smells so good, and as I rub my face into it I feel it vibrating as it chuckles. The familiarity of it makes me inhale deeply and sigh as soft kisses begin to pepper my neck, making me moan. “Mmmm, mi Amor”, (my love) I hear Jonny’s raspy voice laced with sleepiness. “No quiero dejarte ir, pero huelo sangre”, (I don’t want to let you go, but I smell blood) he says suddenly jolting me out of my sleep. Sangre (blood)?! I know that means blood! “Blood?”, I gasp and squirm in his tight hold as he begins to laugh. “My period, Jonny let me go”! “Mi Amor, I don’t care!”, (my love) he says as he flips me over on top of him and pulls me down for a kiss. When I finally broke away, I told him, “I do! Now let me use the bathroom”! He chuckles and lets me go. When I got up, there was surely enough blood… Everywhere! “Jonny, change the sheets and your shirt… I’ll buy you a new one”, I told him as I darted
You would think that the one night Jonny gets Loyalty in bed with him would be the one he sleeps in, right? Wrong! I’m in the kitchen just before seven when Loyalty dashes by me on her way to her bedroom, without even noticing me. Less than two minutes later, Jonny is exiting the bedroom with what were clearly the bed sheets bundled up and stuffing them into the washing machine. He heads for her bedroom without saying a word to me and when he comes back he has the clothes Loyalty was just wearing in his hand. That’s when I noticed the front of his shirt had blood on it, and I almost choked on the vomit rising up in my throat. He rolls his eyes at me and tosses Loyalty’s bloody clothes into the washing machine along with his shirt. Then he heads to the bathroom. When he comes back he has peroxide! He adds the peroxide to the detergent before starting the washing machine. When he’s done, he returns the peroxide to the bathroom and grabs fresh sheets from the hall closet befo
I’m awoken by my daughter’s giggling. She’s lying on the bottom of my bed coloring with Meme. I sat up and glared at them, “uh-oh Gabby, we woke mama bear”! “Funny Mems”, I told her as I climbed out of the bed and headed to the bathroom. When I came back out, I asked her, “where is everyone”? “Spin left for the shop early because he’s leaving early for your date later tonight, and Jonny said he was running to his mother’s to drop off the grocery order you insisted on making”, she states. “Ugh! He went without me?” I whined. “Chill Lala”, she says. “I doubt he’ll be gone long. The man came in here and checked your damn vitals before he left! Wanna tell me what that shit is all about”? “Yeah, embarrassing actually that he still does that! After I pushed Gabby out, I technically had a minor heart attack or a heart palpitation or something to that effect. Anyway, my heart stopped for a moment, like literally skipping a beat”, I told her. “So now when I have my period, Jonny thinks I’
I get the living shit scared out of me in the middle of my sleep when a small body topples from the top of the back of the sofa onto me. “Daddy!”, it squeals excitedly. “Hey, baby girl”, I tell my daughter as Meme starts to laugh. “Hey, Spin”, she says as she looks down over the sofa at me. “Excited about your date tonight? Mikey told me you’re taking Lala to Broadway”! “Yeah, not a word to her, Mems”, I told her. She rolls her eyes at me, “don’t worry Spin. I gotchu”! I wrap my arms around my daughter and I kiss all over her when Jonny comes out of the guest bedroom and heads for the coffee pot. When Stephany realizes Jonny is up she squeals again, “YaYa”! His gaze instantly snaps at her, “hey, princess. Why are you up so early”? “Meme snorts”, she says, making us all laugh. I give her a few more minutes of snuggles before I hand her off to Meme, “I have to get an early start since I’m leaving Mikey to finish up tonight without me”.
Today we are heading upstate early because Jonny is taking Stephany and me out on a casual date, and I dunno why this excites me more than the idea of having a solo date with him. We’ve been out together numerous times, just the three of us… But this is like a date, seriously! Unlike every other weekend, the bags are loaded into the Subaru instead of Jonny’s car. We’ll be heading right to wherever he is taking us, while everyone else will head to the lake house. My period is tapering off thankfully, but I know my hormonal rage will reign on a little longer, so this weekend should be interesting! I have a lot to be upset about… The lake house yard is a construction zone since Spin insisted on having the pool put in this year, so the excavation has already started and is due to be completed today! The electrical and plumbing are supposed to be completed tomorrow and Sunday, and the vinyl liner is supposed to be put in on Monday with the stone edging before the inspection, w
This morning I left for work before anyone else, but Jonny was up. Since they’re all headed upstate to the lake house anyway, I’ll see them earlier than I usually do. Again, the traffic was minimal since it was so early and I managed to get through another few cars before anyone else showed up at the shop. I’m surprised to see the alert go off so early that they’re all already at the lake house, but the cameras show Meme armed with Loyalty’s keys entering the house with just Bo and Melanie. Bo unloads my Subaru that Meme drove with everyone’s stuff, but even a few hours later, Loyalty, Jonny, and Stephany have still not arrived. I decided to check that other app Meme told me about. “What is she doing in Rhinebeck?” I said out loud to myself. “I dunno”, says Mikey, like he’s confused about why he’s being asked. “The Dutchess County Fair opens this weekend. Maybe they went”! After a brief pause, he looks up from the engine he is working on and says, “hey did you k
I woke up early and went in search of Jonny. Surprisingly, he was still asleep and startled when I woke him. “Mi Amor?”, (my love) he questioned in his sleepiness. “Can you come with me?” I asked him and he nodded his head before climbing out of the bed and sliding his jean shorts back on. “We’re leaving, let Melanie know and meet me in the garage”! He didn’t say a word as I left the room and went back to mine to grab my phone, bag, and shoes. I’m momentarily thrown off when I spot a fully clothed Gabe asleep on the couch, but I keep moving! In less than five minutes, Jonny is sliding into the driver’s seat of my car. “Game plan”? “Starting at square one, take me to the colonial”, I tell him. He nods and pulls the car slowly out of the garage. When we get there, we walk into the unlocked front door and head right for the bedroom… “I hate this room”! “For owning the place, I’m surprised Spin didn’t take the master bedroom”, Jonny says. “It’s not?” I aske
