MONOLOGUE THREE: MIGUEL "BIG DADDY" FAIRYWINKLE
MIGUEL
My lord, that dinner was rough. Not even any of my mafia meetings could top that off. Wow, must suck to be Cassia right now. Well, I don't have much room to judge since I've been confined to sleeping on the couch since Yolonda isn't sure who to believe.
We're both pretty upset at each other, yeah, but you know what, once all this blows over I really need to thank you. I had no idea Nora was the type of person she demonstrated herself to be at dinner (not that it really matters, since I didn't love her like that anyways). But in hindsight, I'm not sure why I didn't see that coming. Maybe it was the heat getting to me. I dunno..but now that I'm looking back on everything, it all makes a hell of a lot of sense.
When I came over that Sunday evening, that was the first time I really got to know Nora, but that wasn't the first time I've seen or taken the trash out for that house. I remember passing by and I've heard some screaming going on inside. Everytime I would step on their porch, I saw some bits of glass from underneath their front door, and I heard a voice, squeaking, "Please stop! Please!". The voice was super feminine, so initially, I thought Nora's story was true.
Anyways, she invited me over that evening, and we had a nice time. It felt nice to have someone I thought was a friend. We were drinking and laughing, and Nora's cookies were actually somewhat decent. She also said she worked at the Fairy Academy, so because I knew she was financially stable, she wasn't after me for my money. Hell, I don't even think she knew I actually owned my own garbage business before everything went down with her husband.
But as it turns out, tonight that scream replayed, and I matched it with Nora's husband's screaming instead of her own as I watched her lash out and throw glass at him. God only knows what else she does to him when they're alone. I think he came in with a black eye when we were all invited to Wanda's for dinner. Geez...it's crazy to think that could've been me.
You know what? No! I refuse! Of course Nora and I will never be a thing, but even if we were, there's no way in hell I'd let her treat me the same way she treats Linnie (I think that's his name. That's what Yolonda tells me). But I've lived my entire life fighting and kicking through the glass ceiling in order to become one of the first male CEOs in all of Fairy World, and I'll be damned if a low-life bitch like Nora is gonna take it all away from me. It's clear to me that she's not worth anyone's time, no matter how many times she says she is. I'm not giving up my career for a bitch like her, especially if I knew she wasn't gonna treat me right. If she even laid a single fingernail on me or the kids, then she'd be 6 feet under. You don't hit men like that. Hell, you don't hit PEOPLE like that.
I don't understand why Linnie hadn't left her yet. He completely lashed out at her, though completely warranted after she hit Cassia, and to me, he's got potential to stick up for himself, but in the same token, he looks so afraid. Nora is pretty strong, so I'm wondering if he's scared that she's going to hurt him, bad. Like to the point the beatings kill him. Believe it or not, it's not necessarily true when they say fairies are 'immortal'. We just can't die of old age. We have to be killed off.
The only thing confusing me right now is the fact that Linnie's mad tall, like he's even taller than me. I think when we all sat down to have lunch years ago, he was the tallest person at the table. But he's so scrawny and it looks like he has little to no muscle. Yeesh, no wonder Nora can fold him like a table.
Man, I wish I had his email so I could refer him to this self-defense class I've taken when I was young, and I'm sure I'll find it later. Right now, there's something I gotta say to my wife. But first, should I get red or purple roses?
