After a long day of shopping I thought I should relax and start getting my ducks in a row for the new venture that lies ahead of me. I knew this was going to be an interesting experience, but I loved my wife and I would do anything for her... it would be different.
Good different, not bad different.
We were back at the house earlier than expected. Kyla got a little overwhelmed with Lil and had a freak-out. I was so worried about my sister, I'd never tell her that though.
I really needed her to be ok in order for me to give her the usual shit that I would otherwise… I mean honestly what are sisters for but to give each other hell?
"Ashley you in here?"
Who's calling me now…doesn't anyone respect my alone time?
"Yeah, what is it?" I asked.
"Can I talk to you please?" Kyla asked as she joined me in the study.
She had been crying I could tell by the red splotches under her eyes and at this moment I was hoping Leah would walk right in at any moment and save me. Everyone knows I'm not so good with those annoying things called emotions.
"Ash, I've got a problem." Kyla said as she positioned her self in my lap.
"What is it, what's wrong?"
"I think I need to see some one."
"You're finally going to step out on the asshole… well first and foremost I'd like to congratulate you for finally taking my advice KD… but after just having his kid? Kyla that's a little fucked up don't you think?" I joked.
I knew what she meant, I had seen it the entire week that she was with me and Leah after she was released from the hospital.
"That's not what I mean, Ashley." She wiped a tear. "If you only knew the thoughts that enter my mind, it gets really bad sometimes and I don't trust myself to be alone and more importantly alone with my baby." She trembled like she was recalling those thoughts.
"Have you talked to Aiden about it though?"
"Yeah, he's so optimistic he says post partum doesn't last long, but it's been almost two weeks, I don't want it to progress into something more severe, I'm not comfortable with that… and it breaks my heart that I don't even trust myself to be alone with Leah for too long." I rubbed Kyla's head while she sobbed in my lap and was glad she couldn't see the tear that had just ran down my cheek. "Ashley, I feel like a horrible mother."
Whoa that was a blow to my emotions that I couldn't control and I began to cry. I can't even begin to tell you how it feels to hear and see someone you think of as the ideal mother going through so much shit… that was it, I grabbed my phone and began to text Leah.
I need u 2 c u alone in the study, A.S.A.P.
Not in the study, smh. lol
It's Kyla, postpartum depression lk a mofo.
omw, should I get Aiden.
No, just you, make sure that no one else comes.
Okay.
"Kyla, I just sent for Leah to come in here." I confessed.
"I know, I felt your tears falling on my head, I figured you were calling for back up." She smiled.
"You're such a…" I couldn't very well call her a loser at this time now could I? "You're such a brat."
Yeah brat sounds good. Way better than loser.
"Knock, knock." There's my beautiful wife, just in time to save the day, I love that woman.
Leah came in and just repositioned us so that Kyla and I both had a thigh to lie on while she rubbed both of our heads. She would be a great mother to our children but that's another situation in itself.
"So did Ashley tell you what was going on?" Kyla asked Leah.
"A bit of post-partum depression going on, she didn't have to tell me though; I could sense it when you were staying at the house before we came out here." She revealed.
Damn her! Now it looks like I was self absorbed when she was there. But the truth is I just didn't want to catch that urge. As soon as Kyla got into the house, Leah was all about having kids, she likes the little critters. Don't get me wrong I do too, but I didn't like them enough to have them. Now I think having a few will calm me down and give me serious brownie points with the wife.
"Really, how did you notice when Aiden didn't?" she asked.
"Because, we're women and your husband is an asshole." I added.
"Ash, be nice!" Leah popped my head.
Shit I forgot she was in the room... real smooth Davies, real smooth.
"Sorry."
Hey you can call me what you want, I've learned early on not to piss off a southern woman, especially a black southern woman…talk about a big mistake…big…huge!
"We'll get you some help, I know an excellent doctor who happens to be my aunt, and she makes house calls…if you want to see her when Aiden isn't here? It's totally up to you." Leah mentioned. "She works with families, with emphasis on mothers suffering from post-partum depression.
"I'd like that a lot I mean I don't want Aiden to have to worry about everything. With me, Lil, the house, and our businesses; I'd just really like it to be kept under wraps guys." Kyla expressed as she wiped away her tears.
"Okay, well Lacy and I are about to go and spend some time with our parents, so while we're out I'll drop by my Aunt Giana's house and talk to her about you." Leah said giving Kyla a goodbye hug and kiss… I was a little jealous that she hugged her first, but I'd never show it. "Baby, take care of her and try not to get into any trouble while I'm gone, okay?"
Leah kissed me and I swear I felt in the nether regions. One thing about that woman, she oozed sexuality, that was most definitely one of her highlights. Leah, when the time comes, knows how to go from 'wholesome loving wife' to 'moral less groupie slut' in the bedroom… a must have for me, I have had countless women so a wife that can spice it up, is a must have for Ashley Nina Davies!
--------------------------
Hours had passed Kyla, Aiden, and Lil were upstairs sleeping or something I don't know. Lacy and Leah were still gone. Madison left to go meet with some of her regional design demon monkeys, and Spencer and I were headed to the gym to give getting along another try.
"You're getting married…are you excited or better yet are you ready?" I asked. I didn't really care as much as I portrayed.
"Yeah, I love her and I feel like it's the next step. Look, I want to apologize for what I did to you." Spencer confided.
"So what, it was only a fight, it's not like we've never done that before. Really Spencer, it's no big deal… However, if you ever scratch my face again, note that your ass will be thoroughly whooped… and I won't be so willing to let Leah pry me off of you, so considered yourself warned." I said bluntly.
It was friendly though, this is a new day folks…introducing the new kinder, friendlier Ashley Davies…an Ashley that didn't make idol threats.
"No I mean, for sleeping with Aiden." She corrected, although, I really wished she didn't.
"No, it's cool I mean it still hurt back then, but I'm fine now…No big deal." I lied.
It was a huge fucking deal are you fucking kidding me?!
"I'm glad, I didn't mean to it just happened and I know that I hurt you, but I want you to know that I love you so much and I never wanted to hurt you." Spencer said smiling at me.
"Well, I'm glad you cared enough to actually apologize, it makes all those years of wondering if you felt any remorse or guilt for what you did worth it, I'm getting on the treadmill."
Why it is that people can't take the hint when you don't want to talk about something, I don't know… maybe because they are dumbasses!
I hopped on the oddly place machine and entered my desired settings. I was feeling like jamming to classic hip hop a little Run DMC, Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, maybe a little bit of Ashley Davies.
What? I record songs that are specifically for my enjoyment so when need I listen to them, I do. I cranked up my music and began my jog.
I saw Spencer mouthing words and smiling in my direction and after about 10 minutes of ignoring her I realized she wasn't going to stop so I put the treadmill on walk and turned down my music and she was still talking.
"…You know when I was proposing to Lacy, I wondered if you were mad at me. I mean, I showed up here with a new look and a little more mature with a new lover knowing that things weren't completely repaired between us, and I know how you get so I wondered if you might have been jealous… In a way I think I kind of wanted you to be jealous." Spencer said lowering her head like she was embarrassed.
"Why would you want me to be jealous?"
"Oh shit, you can here me now?! I was hoping to get all of this, out while the music was on. That's why I waited, I remember how you'd like to exercise and because I'm chicken-shit around you, I decided to wait 'til you cranked up the music." She was now three shades of red and I have to admit, that never would get old, it was just the cutest thing.
But Leah owns the cuteness area hands down.
"Okay, but why would you want me to be jealous for Spence?!" I asked.
At this time her pointless rambling was annoying the hell out of me but that's what I get for fucking around with the mentally stupid.
"I guess I just still want you to care about me, I mean I don't love you like I love Lacy, but I do have love for you like I would my first love because that's what you are…"
Spencer cut off her sentence when she saw the dimming lights that went off about a second later. There wasn't much that scares Ashley Davies, let me tell you. However, I've been afraid of the dark since forever and that ain't going to change.
When the lights went out I immediately dropped to the floor and found my Indian style and called Leah. She picked up immediately like she was expecting my call.
"Hey where are you?" I asked frantically.
"I'm sorry we're backed up some two or three miles away, I just called mom and she said that it's all over the news that an 18 wheeler carrying flammable liquids overturned causing a ten car pile up or something and several cars knocked out several power lines, do you guys have power?"
"No…hey hold on Kyla is calling me."
I switched lines, preparing to answer all of the questions my sister had.
"Hey KD we're fine, Spence and I are in the gym…"
"Okay, I was worried; I know how you are with the dark. You called Leah?" Kyla inquired.
"Yes, she's on the other line, can I call you back?" I asked, trying desperately to not sound as freaked out as I was.
"Yeah, just wanted to make sure everything was okay." She said.
"Yeah, Leah was calling to tell me she was stuck in traffic and that she'd be really late."
"Okay well talk to her and see what's going on." She ordered.
I switched back to my wife.
"Babe, you still there?"
"Yeah."
"So Lacy's talking to my mom, she said they're saying on the news to avoid this at all costs, it will be a good two hours before this gets cleaned up. So you guys will be out of power for a few hours can you handle that?" Leah asked.
Yeah I got this; I just need my sexy wife back here to get it on… yeah right
"Baby no, I'm freaking out right now… just…please hurry up and get here." I said frantically.
"Okay, well let me go so I can conserve my battery I'm going to call and check back every few minutes okay, just sit tight and we'll be back as soon as we can." She comforted and I felt better.
"Okay, I love you Wild Woman." I said.
"I love you, too Dragon Lady."
We laughed then disconnected.
"Why do you call her wild woman? That's a bit strange." Spencer giggled as she stretched.
I forgot how limber she was. That shit was kind of hot, I loved it when Leah stretched and as hot as Spencer was when she stretched Leah had that covered as well.
"Oh that, well when we're…umm…"together" she just gets buck wild and I love that so for the past few years, she's been called my 'wild woman'."
"Does she have a name for you?"
"Yeah, she calls me Dragon Lady, because of my…" she interrupted me.
I hate to be interrupted, we're not on good terms for you to be interrupting me Spencer Carlin or Velasquez or whatever else you fucking call yourself.
"Because of your attitude, huh?" She mentioned.
"Yeah that and the fact that I make the funny noise when… well I'm sure you can remember, but she says I sound like a dragon or something." I probably shouldn't have said that.
"Yeah, I remember, you also make the sexiest O-faces if my memory serves me correctly. It used to drive me crazy…I'm sure that if I had the chance to see you make one again it would have the same effect…I'd love to find out one last time."
Jesus-H-Christ this is so not happening? Tell me she's not making a pass at me… God why are you doing this to me? Is this some sort of sick twisted non-funny test or something…why is this happening to me?
It was pitch black in the gym and I couldn't see a thing but I could feel Spencer moving closer towards me.
I tried to find out where she was by remaining completely still and honing in some Daredevil action by letting my other senses prove whether or not they were indeed useful. I turned my head and bumped into her. My senses proved themselves useful, after all but it's the speed I need to work on…definitely need to improve that!
What do I do? What do I do? Leah, please call me, please fucking call me…I know you have super powers and can hear or sense my distress why aren't you fucking calling me?
I felt this wetness on my lips that was so familiar to me yet so foreign. The sweet and salty taste I hadn't tasted in a while I know where it came from and wasn't quite sure if I liked it or not… Jesus this is not happening.
I felt a spark go off and instantaneously knew what it was, I needed Leah and I was feeling weak and desperately needed my heroine to save me.
Yeah I need saving sometimes, sue me…on second thought, please don't sue me!
Another tear fell down my cheek and found its final destination on my lips, I laid down and prayed for a savior.
Author Notes:
Only one question this time:
What do you think happened in the Gym?
