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

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’

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

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

At Sunday morning breakfast my thoughts are scattered! My brain is fried, and Jonny is literally spoon-feeding me oatmeal with fruit while I’m holding my head praying for the pain to go away. “What’s wrong with her?”, says Spin when he sees me. “Onset of a panic attack”, he says as he holds the spoon out to me. I shake my head no, but he doesn’t relent. “Amory!”, he eventually snaps at me, causing me to finally open my mouth. “Swallow it, Amory”. “That would be sexy if it wasn’t oatmeal”, says Gabe from the doorway of the kitchen, causing both Spin and Jonny to shift uncomfortably in their seats as I laugh. “Haha, G”, I say, easing the tension while Jonny uses the opportunity to spoon another lump of oatmeal into my mouth. Gabe laughs at my scowl before he says, “so who am I riding with”? “If you don’t come on your bike, you’ll be stuck in Brooklyn until the weekend unless you take the train back upstate”, Spin tells him. “I’d prefer everyone
