Chapter 19
Keith and I fell into a routine over the next couple of weeks. We made sure to see eachother regularly. We made time to spend with my kids, and spoke on the phone regularly. I paid Marie to watch the kids so I could work and get some rest. Kaye's dad moved out of his house and into another house with his girlfriend. He found out we were staying with Marie and started coming to help with Kaye. He wasn't really helping though. He was trying to hook up with Marie. When she turned him down he would try to crawl in bed with me. I was still turning him down.
One day I woke up to my phone ringing. It was Keith.
"Hey baby! I left again!" Keith says as soon as I answer.
"Wait, What?" I ask him confused trying to wipe the fog from my head and understand what he had just said to me.
"I left, the kids sat us down and said that now that they knew we were having problems they could see how unhappy we

"What the hell are you doing here!?" I ask him. "I called Marie to see if I could come hang out and she told me you were having emergency surgery. I was worried about you and wanted to be here for you." he says. "Marie shouldn't have told you anything! That is a HIPPA violation and I do not need or want you here. I don't need or want you any where around me ever. The only thing I need you to do is help take care of your daughter and you refuse to have anything to do with her unless I am there. Take now for example, instead of going and helping Marie with our daughter you are here harrassing me. If I need you in any way I have your phone number, and I am 100% positive I did not call or text you to come here. You need to leave!" I tell him. "I still care about you, and this is how you treat me? This is what I get for trying to be nice to you! You are still just a stupid fucking cunt! I bet you are fucking everyone at the casino!" He yells at me. I pick up my bedside remo

"Hello my name is Becky, I am the head nurse on shift tonight. I was told you were requesting a supervisor. May I ask what has happened and how we can make this right?" The new nurse asks in a friendly voice. Keith relays everything I have just told him. "May I ask your relationship to Ms. Knight sir?" she asks him. "This is my future wife." He tells her without hesitation. "I see, first let me apologize for the treatment you have recieved here tonight Ms. Knight. If you don't mind I will go look at the previous notes of your blood pressure since check-in to verify your blood pressure history. I will return with pain medication for you if you have been consistent." She tells me. I just nod my head. Not even 5 minutes later Becky was back in the room. "I am very sorry for the delay in your comfort Ms. Knight. Do you think you can manage sitting up for me, so I can give you this medication? Please drink this water slowly, you aren't supposed to have liquid before you

"Amy, you are working travel plaza tonight."I was overjoyed to hear this as it was a Friday night in November. Getting closer to Thanksgiving and the Casino gets crazier and crazier. Normally I wouldn't have minded the hustle of the weekend in security at one of the biggest casinos in Oklahoma, but tonight after I got off, I was picking up my kids from my toxic ex, and heading to Missouri. The family ranch was in Missouri and I was going to work cows before the holiday. I wouldn't have to deal with all the annoying chatter on the radio and the drunken guests forgetting how to act in public. TP (travel plaza) tonight was just what I needed before the 8 hour drive north. I gathered my stuff that I would need for my shift and checked out the keys for the Tahoe I would be driving to the TP. When I arrived I checked in with the cashier. "Hey Stacy," I greeted one of my favorite cashiers. She was a lot like me, and we spent our work time together talki

Rewind to 6 months ago. I had just come into the security suite from my shift and was waiting in line to gun down. Then I felt something strong like a dominating presence fill the room. I have a pretty big personality and presence of my own so this is a feeling I am not used to feeling. I look around to find out who was giving off such a dominant vibe. Then I saw him, 6 feet tall, iron clad in his security uniform hugging every beautiful muscle on his body. My eyes traveled up his body, he had a strong chest, and broad shoulders. His uniform shirt sleeves stretched tightly over his biceps that screamed to be touched. My mouth watered as my eyes continued to devour the man standing not 10 feet from me. His jaw was chiseled to perfection, he had a slightly crooked nose from being broken in the past, I have no doubt, and a faded haircut. His face was stone serious and as I met the most beautifully colored brown eyes I had to turn away. Heat that I hadn't felt in a ve

"10 hours later I arrived at the ranch. I said hello to my Mom. I hadn't seen her since spring break but it wasn't time to socialize. I wasn't able to get off work the day before so the boys were already down at the corral with the cows. I had been up for close to 24 hours at this point but there was work to be done. As we got the bulk of the herd finished, I started snapping pictures of the boys wrestling calves, tagging them and giving them their shots. When we were finished it was time to gather the kids up. We played ball with the kids while mom finished up dinner. We sat around catching up and playing games and I posted the photos from the day.Finally I snuck off to get a shower and hopefully fall into blissful sleep. Just as I was about to step into a steamy shower that was probably too hot but I didn't care, because my body craved the heat, DING! Almost crying because I needed the shower to relax my tired overworked body I grabbed my phon

Monday afternoon I walk in to work. Weekdays at the Casino are slow. I did the mundane busy work I was called to do. The rest of the week followed the same pace. Wake up, get kids to school or fed, nap, shower, back to work. I had not heard from Keith since Sunday when I left him on read, except for an invite to a private group he created for the security crew. I accepted the invite to the group. As expected, being a predominantly male environment, their were crude jokes, tit pics, and locker room jokes and talk. I read comments and noticed the anger growing in the pit of my stomach everytime Keith commented on something referring to other females. Again I had to remind myself he wasn't mine. I could not feel possessive of someone I couldn't have. It was near the end of December, things with Keith hadn't changed. It seemed as if his interest in me, whatever it was had faded, I was fine with that. As I said before I definitely didn't n

I got to work Friday and I was training Karen again. "Why me?" I pouted to myself. "Amy!" my Corporal called out to me.I turned around with my eyebrows raised in waiting, showing my disdain for having to drag Karen around with me on a Friday night. "Can you both do 4 hours overtime tonight for the concert? Karen, you need the training and Amy you have been asking for overtime." he tells us.I look at Karen hoping she says no, knowing I can't turn down the hours if I want to get out of my exes house. To my horror she agrees.I called dispatch informing them I was with 178 again and all calls would be for her. "It's all you today!" I inform her, "I am only here to help if you get stuck." "Um, ok, do I need to tell dispatch we are available? " She asks. "Yes. " I tell her.She keys up her radio, "Um, ok, like, um dispatch, um hold on?" She stares at me wide e
