Three months.
Now, normally Dave and Emylee had a healthy sex life. Keyword: had.
Three kids, careers, and adjustments had them staying busy. This week Emylee was on the road. Dave was finally sitting down with the kids to watch her promo in the ring. SHe wanted to be surprised to her opponent this week. It was a build for a 30 women rumble for a chance at her belt.
"Listen, each week, I've been out here fighting these…..ladies, and each week I'm walking out with my belt. This. is. My. Belt".
"Mommy is telling daddy, look", Anna said.
"I know", he said watching her.
Normally, he would watch her to give her notes. She asked for feedback, and they worked on her stage presence. Tonight, it hit him, he was horny. He missed her touch, moans, and everything in between. Fighting the feeling of getting excited in front of the kids, he texted Randy.
"I need you to come over".
"The kids ok?
"Yeah, yeah. I gotta go".
"The fuck? Emylee is looking fine as…..ooooohhhhhh. Sayless my friend. I'll get Steph and the kids".
He got up from the couch, and Anna noticed.
"I thought you were going to watch the show with us Dad?"
"I'm going to, but i need to pack".
"Oh ok. A business trip?"
"You could say that….."
While the match between Emylee and Layla took place, he made his ticket arrangements, and hotel stay. Randy walked in with the kids while Stehp was on the phone.
"You better make sure you get it all in, it's the last time I'm supporting these….."
"Don't. You two owe me for last month. Your anniversary…...or did you forget?"
"Well dammit".
"Randall! The kids!"
Dave shock his head, one slam caught the attention of the adults. Emylee had Layla covered, in her finishing move grinning slyly, as the referee counted, and the bell rang. sHe taunted the crown as they cheered for her. Steph ended that call and watched on with the group.
"She's really getting better with these promos, but i agree, she needs a release", she grinned.
"Your husband forgot the crazed favor he owed me from last month".
"Yeah….that was a great night. Go, we'll be fine. I'll call her in a couple days for details", she hugged Dave.
"Man, i swear yall make me out like the a-hole", Randy whined.
"You said it".
Dave and Steph laughed as he made his way to the airport.
She made her backstage passing John on the way.
"Aye, that promo was great. You going for food later?"
"Nah. I'm so tired. I want to surprise the family and fly back early, but I may just sleep in. How's my babies?"
"Oh, you know I got new pictures! Trish got mad, and I'm on the couch for stealing more. She says I take too many while they are supposed to be sleeping but I can't help it", he grinned while pulling them up on his phone.
"I'll talk to her about that tomorrow.", she chuckled.
Her phone went off in her bag to Dave's music. Grinning at the message, she sat looking at photos with John.
"Tell me. How yall doing? I mean you are defending your belt in a couple weeks, and you been racking up the flyer miles".
"We both have. Me flying out for shows, and he's flying back and forth to LA for auditions while maintaining the gym. It's nice, but it's been a while since we had alone time. It's not even the sex. just us ya know?"
"I hear ya. What bout that ring though? Is it a collector's item or what?', he joked.
"Ya know. Tim asked me about that too", she signed.
"Em. It's me John. For real, what is stopping you? You know Dave has been ready for some time now. You can have it like Princess Diana or just a courthouse. He dont care. He wants you".
"Ok Dr. Phil, you didn't let me finish".
"My bad".
"RIght now its time. When I want to finally tell him I'm ready, we are jetting off to kids stuff or work. Hopefully this week we can talk about it. I'm ready. Last name change and all".
"That's whats up".
"Yeah. I'm gonna go pack, and go to bed. I'll talk to the wifey in the morning. I got more clothes for her too".
"Yeah, cause my kids grow like weeds".
They hugged as she made her way to the locker area.
Therapy was good for her. It was coming along nicely, and she began to really get comfy with her relationship with Dave again. Though they were always on the go, they talked, laughed, and bonded like a unit. Of course flirting was there, it never left, but it was simple conversations too. Feedback on her performances, and his auditions. Both being hands on with the gym, her even relocating her lawyer office to the gym.
It was different. It was a maturity and respect for each other that made this go round different. In a sense they grew up and truly gave this a chance. No interference, questions, and distractions. It was time to seal the deal
"Does she know you are flying out?", Trish asked him
"No. I just know I need to be with my girl. Naked".
"TMI dude".
"Bullshit. How you think you got knocked up. Speaking of how's the duo doing?"
"They are great. Thanks again for the clothes. They just keep growing. Though I'm going to hurt your dude. He keeps waking them up for pictures. I swear it drives me nuts. He's on the couch right now because of it".
"Trisha".
"No, you are not convincing otherwise".
"He's a first time Dad. Cut him some slack. I remember when Em bought the twins home. I checked their breathing every thirty minutes. Drove her nuts. I'll talk to him but don't put him out like that. He's just so happy. You know how many times I had to shut him up about the babies?"
"Ugh. i'll sleep on it".
"Listen, I'm boarding, but think about it ok?"
"As long as you two give us a wedding date".
"That's an Emylee request".
"Really?"
"Ask your friend bout that. I'm ready. I"m waiting on her, but I'm not going anywhere she knows that".
"Alright. Have fun".
"Get sleep girl. You are gonna need it".
Hanging up, even he wondered what the hold up was. He's been ready since they met his parents. Yeah, he fucked up once, but he was ready. Maybe this surprise trip was needed. Boarding the plane, it was now or never.
Texting her, "Hey sexy mama, you did great. MIss you".
