The next morning Bosco woke up to find Amy still sleeping beside him. After she had hit him with the pillow and he had told her how pissed Jimmy had been at him for being all over his again girlfriend, Amy had cried and cried, feeling like she was losing Bosco to his work. Bosco had reassured her that she was so very special to him, and that she would never lose him as long as she wanted him. He then held her in his arms until she fell asleep, then covered her up, and wrapped his arm around her, and held her close.
He moved trying to get more comfortable and in the process he woke her up. She sighed and turned toward him. "Good morning."
He leaned over and kissed her, "Morning. How are you this morning?"
She smiled, "Much better, and yourself?"
"Well, let's see, I just woke up next to the most beautiful woman in the world, and she's talking to me now." He smiled as she giggled.
"Oh, Boz." He stretched his legs and scooted closer to her. He put his arms underneath the blanket, and reached toward her and without her knowledge started tickling her stomach causing her to laugh hysterically. In between short gasps he heard her say, "Bosco! Maurice! Maurice! Stop!"
Without another thought he stopped. She looked at him questioningly. "Come here, Ames."
She moved towards him, and he opened his arms to her and she snuggled closer to him. When it looked like he was asleep, Amy slowly moved his arm and then he rolled onto his stomach. "Perfect." Amy thought to herself. Quietly and slowly she moved to a sitting position and then moved to straddle him. She jumped onto his back and straightened herself up, and then moved to pin his hands down before he could get to grabbing her.
"Amy! Get off! Come on now!"
She wriggled around some more, purposely poking her knees into his side, which tickled him, and put pressure onto his back. "Sucks huh?"
He growled, "Oh, come on!" The telephone rang, and caught her off guard, and before she knew what was happening, Amy was being pulled under Bosco. This time Amy was being straddled and was stuck. Bosco laughed.
"Come on, I gotta get the phone, it might be something important." Bosco moved to the side, and Amy got up and ran to the living room to get the cordless. "Hello?"
"Good morning. Is Bosco there?"
"Oh, hey, Faith, yeah. Thankfully you didn't call a minute ago. He was indisposed." Amy smiled, and Bosco growled as he came out of the bedroom. Amy stuck her tongue out at him and mouthed, "It's Faith.""
"Well, Mrs. Rothering across the hall can't watch the kids today, and I have no one else, and I really hate to bother you and Amy, because I know you guys need some time together, but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind watching Charlie and Emily today while I work and maybe a little sooner, because I really need to do some errands and go grocery shopping, and I'll have 4 hands going out of the cart instead of just mine." Faith said and sighed.
Amy saw the look on Bosco's face. "We'll, watch the kids, Maurice. Don't worry. We can go to the zoo in the Bronx. Tell Faith we'll stop by and pick the kids up in half hour."
"That's scary." Bosco replied.
"What?" Faith questioned.
"Amy knew what you said, before I had a chance to tell her, and Faith, of course we'll watch the kids. We'll be over in half hour, if that's alright."
"Bosco, are you serious?"
"Hell yeah. We'll go to the zoo in the Bronx, and if you make a list, I suppose we could go shopping for you, because we have to go anyway. There is like nothin' to eat in this house."
"Thanks Bosco. Thanks so much, and tell Amy that's a great idea the kids'll love that."
"Yeah, bye."
"We were going to spend the whole day together, no kids, no mom, no one. Amy…."
Bosco whined.
"Bosco, it'll be so much fun. Come on. You can win me one of those really big stuffed animals." She batted her eyes at him, and ran her hand up and down his arms. "Pleaseeee? I love zoo's."
He rolled his eyes, "Fine." She threw her arms around Bosco and hugged him. "Well, I'm going to take a quick shower, you wanna join me?"Bosco questioned. She laughed and went and grabbed her clothes and changed, while Bosco went and took his shower.
"I'm coming in!" Amy walked in and put her make up on and brushed her hair. "You almost ready, by the time that you get your car started Faith'll be late' for work."
He stepped out of the shower with a towel around his waist. "Hey, that's my baby. Don't knock her. I'm almost ready, I just gotta put on my clothes."
"I'll make some sandwiches and stuff, and we can have a little picnic."
Amy grabbed the blanket from the couch, and her backpack and made her way to the kitchen. She packed the bag, and she searched through the cupboards trying to find stuff for their picnic. She made sandwiches and grabbed two bags of chips. Just as she finished packing bottled water into the bag, Bosco came out in a pair of baggy blue jeans, and a white wife beater on. Bosco's leather jacket was hung a kitchen chair, along with a baseball cap that Amy had bought him the week before.
"All ready." Amy grabbed her jacket from the table and put it on. "I'm so excited. This isn't exactly what we had planned, but it'll be fun."
Amy and Bosco walked down the two flights of stairs and out to his car. He unlocked Amy's door and opened for her. She threw the bag into the back seat and climbed in and shut the door and unlocked Bosco's. He climbed in put the key in the ignition, turned it, and brought the car to life. They clicked their seat belts and were off to Faith's.
As Bosco banged on the door, they could both hear Emily complaining, "But mom, I don't wanna go. Why can't I stay here by myself? I won't have anyone over, mom. Please?" Amy smiled, remembering those fights with her mother.
Charlie opened the door and jumped up to Bosco, "Uncle Bosco!"
"Hey Charlie, Em complaining again?"
They both laughed, "She's always like that."
"Hey guys." Faith called. "Emily's almost ready."
"Mom, I'm not going, and you can't make me." Emily snapped, attempting to close her bedroom door.
"Yes, you are. You never spend any time with Charlie, and I don't want you here alone for the night. I'm not going to get home until late, and it's just not going to happen, you being here by yourself, so get your bag, and let's go."
"Hey, Faith," Amy called, "I have an idea. Hey, Emily, how about after we go to the park, we can go to the mall for awhile, and we can go shopping, and I'll buy you something. Tonight, we can get movies and order pizza in, and request a cute pizza delivery guy."
Bosco stuck his tongue out at her. "That sound ok, Faith? They'll both get to do something that they want to do."
Faith smiled, "Ok. Charlie, Em, go put your stuff in Boz' car."
"Bye, mom." They both called as they walked out the door.
Faith looked at both of them, "Now listen, I don't want you to take any shit from either of them. If Emily complains too much, tell her she can't go to the mall. Thanks again you guys, you don't know how much this means to me."
"Alright, guys let's go."
Everyone made their way out the door and to Bosco's car. Emily and Charlie crawled into the back seat, and Amy put all of the stuff into the trunk. "Now kids, I just want you to know that this is Uncle Bosco's car, and just remember to keep all of your hands and feet away from the seat in front of you." Amy squealed as she saw Bosco running after her. She took off running down the street as he chased after her. "Bosco, come on!" He kept chasing her down the street and he finally caught up to her and he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into him and tickled her until she called "Uncle!" Without her knowledge he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and took her back to his car.
He laughed all the way there, and she pounded him on the back, not being able to see, because her hair had fallen into her face. He stopped a few feet away from Emily and Charlie, and put her down, but didn't let her go. He held her tight in her arms and leaned down and kissed her hard on the mouth. "Well, Alrighty, I'm ready to go home now!" He smiled as Emily rolled her eyes, and Charlie started to protested. "Kiddin'. Let's get outta here."
After they were done at the zoo, Bosco having won Amy a big stuffed fluffy teddy bear. Bosco held her hand, while Charlie carried the bear and Emily trudged behind. "Em? You ready to go shopping?"
She smiled and picked up the pace, "Yeah."
All four got out of Mustang and made their way into the strip mall, and when Emily walked in she saw her friends. "Course you can go with 'em, Em." Bosco said glancing at her and then at her friends, still not sure if this was the right thing to do or not. Amy said that Emily would be happy to just hang out with her friends for awhile, and not be chaperoned or have Charlie hanging around.
"Here, Emily. I promised you a top. Here's 20 bucks. Go ahead and spend it, but be back here in 2 hours and we'll have the movies and everything ready, k? Two hours, no longer. Have fun."
Emily smiled and ran to her friends. "Thanks guy!" She yelled behind her and she started to walk away with the group of teenagers.
Amy looked and Bosco and Charlie, "Ready to do some shoppin' boys?" She smiled at Bosco, she took Charlie's hand and motioned for Bosco to do the same. Amy looked down at Charlie, and said, "Hey, Charlie, have you ever flown before!" He shook his head, "Well, hang on, ok?" He nodded, "Boz, you ready?" She questioned, as she looked at him, while Bosco grinned from ear to ear. "Here we go!" She squealed as they both lifted Charlie up. When they had placed him back on the ground he laughed and giggled and laughed some more.
"That was fun!" He squealed. Bosco and Amy lifted him up high the entire length of the store, until they got to the grocery/ movie store. Amy stopped and thought for a minute, "Ok boys, we're on a mission. We need pop, chips, some really good chocolate…ummm….hmmm…cereal for tomorrow morning, popcorn, stuff like that. Let's go! Then we can go shop around the mall a little, Charlie, we'll look for a toy for you, How's that sound?"
"YAY!" Charlie screamed as Bosco lifted him into the cart.
Bosco pushed Charlie and the cart down the aisle as Amy tossed things into the cart. When Amy got to thinking, she couldn't believe how much stuff that Bosco didn't have. When they checked out, Bosco said, "Are you girls really gonna eat that much stuff?"
Amy looked at him, "Bosco, do you realize how much stuff you don't have in your house? And by the way, I have no money, and you'll have to spring for this stuff."
"What!" After the check out girl had rung up all the items, the total was 125 dollars. "Bosco, don't whine." Bosco just looked at her and stuck his tongue out.
"Shut up." He handed the girl his credit card. Bosco mumbled the entire way down the mall. Bosco pushed the cart down the hall. "Shouldn't we have gotten the groceries afterwards, cause now we have to push the damn cart down the mall."
"Hey," Amy looked at him, "Hey, we got twenty minutes before we have to meet Emily, so I have to pick up some new pj's." She winked at Bosco. She kept walking down the mall, looking at each store name. "Here!" She turned into the store and began leafing through the racks of clothes.
She glanced over at Bosco, "Sweetie, Could you two come over here for a second?"
Bosco rolled his eyes, "What?"
Amy shot him a look and he pushed the cart towards her. She motioned for him to come closer, and she tossed some clothes towards him. "Could you hold that for me?" She smiled and flipped through the racks piling stuff on top of Bosco's outstretched arms. "Hmmm…." She murmured. "I think that's enough, let's go try these babies on." She went behind the cart and pushed it towards the fitting rooms, "Come on, Boz." He trudged behind her.
A well dressed lady looked at the three of them and laughed lightly. "Do you need a room?" Amy nodded her head and the lady took the stuff from Bosco.
Amy walked into the room and shut the door, stripping off her clothes. She could hear Bosco talking with Charlie, because you could hear Charlie laughing hysterically. "Amy! We wanna see that stuff as your try that stuff on."
Amy took out a short spring dress that was a blue flower print. She slipped into it and twirled around in the mirror. She opened the door and stood. Charlie stopped talking and watched Bosco and Bosco stared at Amy and whistled. "You like?"
Bosco smiled, "I love." She stood up and walked to her and whispered, "I wanna take it off. Can I please?" Amy looked at him and shut the door. Charlie laughed.
She looked through her outfits and found a really cute pair of white pants that a small black stripe that went down the side of her pants. She slipped into them and found a light pink spaghetti strap top that didn't quite reach her belly button. She twirled around, and fell in love, but what would she do when it got cold? She looked again and found a dark colored jean jacket. "Awesome!" She whispered, and opened the door. Bosco's jaw dropped. "Holy Crap!" He exclaimed. She took off her jacket and twirled.
"One more." She walked back into the dressing room and shuffled through the pile of clothes and found her selection of pajamas. Amy picked out a small pink silk spaghetti strap top that fell half way between her belly button and her breasts. It was a perfect fit, not too tight, but not too loose. She found a pair of silky red pajama pants, that had belled bottoms. She also picked out a red silk robe. She looked in the mirror, and whispered, "One more outfit." She found a short black night gown that perfectly fit her figure at her waist and then belled out and reached mid thigh and had a black robe with it. "Bosco'll like that." She whispered while laughing at the look she would see on Bosco's face. She put her original clothes back on and glanced at her watch. "Damn, we're going to be late." She grabbed up her stuff and walked over to Bosco and Charlie. "I'm ready."
Bosco got up, "Well, give me the outfits, I'm buying since you don't have much for clothes and since they look awesome on you, and it's not that big of a surprise."
Amy rolled her eyes and Charlie giggled. She said, "Well, ok, but there's one outfit that I wanna buy myself because it's a surprise." She handed Bosco the outfits and hid the other behind her back and made her way to the counter. They paid for their purchases and then walked out of the store and towards their meeting place.
They sat down on the bench, while Charlie stayed in the cart. Bosco reached for Amy's bag, "So what did you get me? Can I see?" Amy ripped it out of his hands and placed it on the floor next to her as she shook her head, "No."
Bosco stuck out his lip, just as Emily came up with her friends, "Boossscooo…." Emily whined.
Amy burst out laughing, "Oh my God! You gave that whine to Emily! Emily, are you ready to go? We can stop and get the movies along the way. Did you have fun?"
Emily smiled, "Ya, thanks. When we get home I'll show you the cute outfit I got! Thanks so much Aunt Amy. I'll see you guys later! Come on Charlie, let's go."
Amy intertwined her fingers with Bosco's. "Come on guys, let's go order that pizza. I don't know about you three, but I'm getting one with extra extra extra cheese on it with that fluffy crust that they make for it." They all walked out the door and made their way to Bosco's car. They loaded the groceries into the car, and Maurice opened the door for Amy. She smiled and gave him a kiss. "Thanks."
Amy and Emily unloaded the groceries, while Bosco helped Charlie take a bath and get his pajama's on. Amy called up the pizza place, "Ya, hi. I'd like 4 pizza's tonight. One with extra extra cheese, one with pineapple and cheese, one with sausage, and one with pepperoni. I'd like 4 orders of cheesy breadsticks and lotsa sauce. I'd like that powdery cheese stuff too. K. Thank so much…oh ya…wait…I'd like to also ask for a hot delivery guy…Really? Thanks again…k bye."
An hour later, Emily, Bosco, Amy, and Charlie were all positioned in front of the t.v. ready to start the movie when Amy looked at Bosco. "I never put my pj's on. Jeez. Boz, gimme like five minutes, k?" Amy hopped up off the couch and sprinted towards their room. Amy sifted through the clothes that she had folded on the dresser that Bosco had cleaned out for her, so now they each had their own dresser. Amy picked out her pajam's that she had bought, the red pajama strap top and the red silk pants, with her red robe and slippers. She slipped into her outfit and as she slipped the shirt over her head she felt a pair of warm arms around her stomach and then a pair of lips on her neck. "Hmmm….That's nice." She stood there and enjoyed Bosco's lips and touches. "Bosco…Bosco…the kids…the other room…mooooovvvvvvvviiiiiieeeee…." She squealed, "Come on." Bosco stopped and turned her around and leaned down and kissed her lips tenderly. "oh ya…" She whispered as she walked out of the room towards the living room, her robe swishing behind her. She walked into the small kitchen and grabbed two bottles of beer, pried them open and walked into the living room. Bosco was already sitting on the couch feet on the coffee table.
Amy stepped over Bosco's outstretched legs and sat down next to him while handing him a bottle of beer. Amy leaned over and rested her head against shoulder and snuggled up close to him. Bosco reached to the other side of him and pulled a blanket over him and Amy. Emily was stretched out in their recliner and Charlie was laying on the floor. Bosco hit play on the remote and smiled as VeggieTales came on. He whispered, "I cant believe you talked me into watching this movie."
She kissed his cheek, "Charlie wanted to watch it and I couldn't say no. Sorry."
"That's alright. I forgive you, but you owe me later." Amy mocked a shock of surprised and rolled her eyes, while taking a handful of popcorn.
"Shut up and watch the movie." They watched the movie in silence as it continued until the final credits rolled.
Amy moved a little so she could see Bosco. He was sound asleep. She gently nudged him, "Boz. Hey hunnie. Time to wake up."
Bosco slowly opened his eyes, and stretched, "Mmm…the movie over?" Amy smiled and nodded.
"Cute, wasn't it?" He scowled at her, leaned down and kissed her. "I'm gonna get the blankets for the kids, they're sleepin'. Why don't u wake Emily up and get her to move to the couch. That chair ain't that comfy." She got up and walked to the hall closet and pulled out quilts that she had made years before. She grabbed two pillows and dragged them into the living room. She set a pillow done by Charlie and coaxed him into laying his head on it, slowly lifting his head. She then covered him up, then carried the rest to Emily. "Can't you get her up?" She asked a Bosco who was leaning over her talking to her and poking her.
"Hell no. She won't get up!" He blew out pent up air. "God! Just leave her there!"
Amy laughed at him, "Here let me." She leaned down next to Emily's ear. "Em. Hey Emily. Get up there's a huge sale at Macy's!" Amy backed up and laughed as Emily sat straight up, automatically running her fingers through her tangled hair.
"Well, let's go!" She murmured.
Bosco just stared at the two girls. Amy caught her breath, "Sorry Em. No sale it's almost midnight. Bosco couldn't get you to wake up and I figured that would be the way. We wanted you to move to the couch where you would be more comfortable."
"Ok. Uncle Bosco..good night. Night Aunt Amy." She said as she climbed onto the couch. Bosco laid the blanket over Emily, tucking the edges in.
He straightened back up and turned towards Amy. "Hi." He whispered.
"Hi." She whispered back. "Do you think you could do me a huge huge favor?" She batted her eyes at him.
"What?"
"I kinda left my contact solution in your car. Could you please go get it? "
"Ya, sure. No problem. Be right back!" Bosco slipped on his shoes and jacket and walked out the door.
Amy ran to the kitchen and pulled out the strawberries and laid them on one of her good china plates, then she grabbed one of the bowls and grabbed the cool whip out of the fridge, grabbed the little container of sugar and dumped some into the bowl, then globbed some cool whip into the bowl and she mixed into in a dip. She set the bowl in the middle of the plate, the strawberries placed around them. Then she grabbed the bag of candles that she had bought, telling Bosco that there should always be candles in the house, in case the power went out.
She ran into their bedroom and set the strawberries on the bed, and set the candles around the room and quickly lit each one. Amy went into the bathroom and stripped off her pajamas and slipped into the black silky nightgown that she had bought. She ran the brush through her hair and quickly put on a bit of make up, then threw on the robe.
Amy heard Bosco dead bolt the door and she closed the door to the bathroom, waiting to hear him walk into the bedroom. She smiled as she heard him mumble, "What the fuck…" She slowly opened the door and walked out. "Amy…"
She smiled at him, "Yes…"
He walked to her and took her in his arms. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to enjoy myself and you're gonna enjoy yourself. I've got some strawberries and cool whip. Shall we?" She took his hand and led him to the bed. She moved the plate to the bedside stand and climbed onto the bed. She reached towards Bosco and beckoned him to come join her on the bed.
Bosco smiled, with a twinkle in his eye. He stripped off his sweatshirt and his t shirt, leaving him bare-chested. "So, what did you have in mind tonight, sweetie?"
She batted her eyes at him, "Well, you'll just have to wait and see now won't you? I figured that since you were such a good sport about today and not getting to spend time with me, that I felt bad, and I thought that I would give you a little special treatment tonight. Whatcha think?"
Bosco nodded, and slid his pants down and off. "Oh, ya. I can't wait." He crawled under the thin sheet and moved closer to Amy to give her a kiss on the lips. "You really didn't need to do this. I had alotta fun today. I mean a lot. To see your face light up when I won that bear for you, or when you walked into that clothing store. Just to see you smile was all I needed." He wrapped his arm around the back of her, to keep his arm around her waist.
"Well, If you think that way, you can go to sleep and I'll just eat these strawberries and eat this cool whip myself." She took one strawberry and dipped it in and moved it towards her mouth, but Bosco's face came first and he intercepted it. "Mmm….that's good.." He said in between swallows.
"Enough food…let's move onto the good stuff." Bosco rolled on top of Amy. "I like this kinda food better.." He growled and he moved his hands up inside her shirt.
"Bosco…."He didn't stop, only continued his journey up, "Maurice…" Bosco stopped at his first name.
"I thought this is what you wanted…the outfit…the strawberries…the candles…I told you from the beginning that I didn't want any games." He let her go and moved to his side of the bed.
Amy sat there with her mouth wide, "That's not…I'm sorry…" She picked up the plate and purposely reached over to Bosco's night stand. She set the plate down, and started rubbing Bosco's arms. "I don't play games remember? I said I'd never do that to you. I know how it feels. I didn't mean for you to get the wrong idea. It's just that I thought that maybe you would wanna just have a little you and me time, since we didn't get to spend hardly anytime, just you and me. I thought I'd just make you happy, wearing something cute, and I just wanted to look pretty for you." She stopped when Bosco glared at her, she moved back to her side of the bed. I just wanted to make you smile for once." She reached for a ponytail and pulled her hair back into a ponytail. She slipped into the covers.
"Wait, Ames. Wait. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like it sounded. I was just hoping that maybe..you know…I seriously have never waited this long. I've never had a relationship with someone as deep and as sweet as you. I always dated the shallow blonde haired bimbos. I should apologize to you, not the other way around. Strawberries and you here in my arms is great plenty for me, and when you're ready, I'll be here. Come here." He motioned for her to come to him, and she slowly moved over to him.
He opened up his arms as she laid down next to him. "It's all cool." As he held her, she reached for the cool whip, and looked up at Bosco to see that he had closed his eyes. She slowly dunked her finger into the goo and smeared it all over his chest. "Jesus, Amy. That's really cold!" He moved away from her and looked at the mess. Now I gotta take a shower. I was going to wait until before I had to go to work tomorrow!
"Oh my! Clumsy me!" She exclaimed and laughed at the look on his face. "Let me help you!" She leaned down and slowly licked off the cool whip that covered his upper chest. "Mmm…I like that…"
He whispered while he slowly closed his eyes. After she had licked his chest clean, she kissed her way up his throat to his lips.
They spent the next couple hours talking and making out like a couple of teenagers.
