Chapter 17
Coda part. 1: The beginning
Michonne walking out of her bathroom walked out squeaky clean, delightfully fresh, and all smiley 'n' stuff; without question the girl was in the best mood ever! And that was despite a great deal of things pressing in hard on her well trained mind. Neither was that beaming and glowing disposition of hers coming only from having just gotten out of a long, not too hot, but still a definite deliciously warm bath...
Nope! Uh-uh, it was all about yesterday, and all its wonderful happenings and such that caused the day to be so much more than just something surprisingly nice, but also a cheek burning treasure trove filled with the spectacular in spite of all the dread having plagued her the whole while she drove out to her childhood home.
Tragically, Michonne's wonderland just didn't feel the same anymore, no not since her parents, nor would or could it ever be again!
Or so she wrongly thought!
Just the idea of having to be there was so heartbreakingly painful for the young lawyer, and almost brought her that close to an ugly tailspin of overflowing panic! And that too was regardless of the fact she still had family waiting there gladly with loving arms, wide open for their M's arrival.
And Henry, without his Baby Girl ever once voicing out loud any of her deep sorrow about the place knew as much! Yet, still he gave that manifesto of his, giving Michonne no wiggle room at all for any excuse not to show up, and that purposely placed his niece in the unpleasantly hard position of begrudgingly having to do so anyway!
But Michonne's mental unease about bring home couldn't continue to go on, no way! His friends, her parents Ray and Emmy wouldn't stand for any of it, and neither would he! Their girl hadn't been raised to back away from adversity of any kind, but face the thing squarely head on with purpose then kick Stank real hard, right between its troublesome legs, no matter whatever it is!
However, Michonne with a whole lot of admiration and regards for all, just didn't really selfishly give a flying fig about none of that whatever let the truth be told; not how Henry felt, nor her being a fighter, or if the whole family were there more than willing to fill that gap left by her parents absence.
Just like any of that mattered anyway...because it just really didn't!
Sadly, in her reality at that very moment in time had Michonne pitifully residing in a world filled full with both body and soul numbing pain, and woefully didn't think she could endure stepping one foot inside what was once upon a time her safe haven; that special place where all was right in her world no matter what, just as long as Daddy and Mother were somewhere there, or nearby!
And it also matter not to Michonneeven if there was still filled with all the love that Raymond and Emmagene Rénald's little girl could ever want or needed; her two parents will still be gone far, far away from her, and that would be forever!
Now feeling and being loved clearly wasn't the problem up there on that hill, because natually Michonne already knew just how much she was along with her loving everybody back with that exact same intensity. And it was precisely all that love; theirs and hers combined that gave their M the strength to fight with everything in her, and be as strong as she was...
So why in the world couldn't they just have done all that loving stuff some place else, like her condo which was one thing that Michonne just couldn't quite comprehend! It was big enough with plenty of room, and anything else needed! Best of all, she wouldn't of cared, not at all, nor would she have to go through all of the mental upheaval! Besides, wouldn't it have all made more sense to do so since everyone except Uncle Henry and Aunt Millie were so much closer after leaving church?
But thankfully, that was then and Michonne standing there in her bathroom all a glowing constituted a now with all of that uneasiness of hers concerning home was a thing of the past and no more! And the culprits to blame was one handsome Sheriff and her two beautiful boys having been, and still is all up in her vicinity; brightening up the young lawyer's everywhere; quickly puta mighty swift stop to all that sadness and angst she once felt about her family home up on that hill!
《▪▪▪▪▪》
Unquestionably, it was all those three who made Michonne's home time, which was definitely way more than just bearable, clearly a something extra special, to an all the way downright unforgettable experience that was oh so heavenly too! A divine delight Michonne knew would be impossible to feel if ever once in that house ever again!
Oh, but how wrong was she! Because her trio were certainly the amazing force behind every last moment that was had up on the hill in that White House, especially those with the Sheriff, which were absolutely wonderful, and an amazing segue into a whole lot of fabulousness of the something else!
And Michonne with an extra long plush towel draped around her lithe body just so, stood distracted in the middle of her bathroom as she absentmindedly pat dried away a plethora of tiny water droplets from off her long neck with end of said fluffy towel, knew full well with that smile of hers growing expeditiously if she'd continued with her present train of thought, things could get a bit dicey.
Was she really willingly going to allow herself to just feel those feelings she'd disposed herself of months ago by thinking something more...
And you know what? She certainly would, and with quite a quickness gladly did so too!
Just like that tiny little incident of her and Sheriff Grimes's almost kiss that the young woman never even saw coming not once. Well...at least Michonne doesn't think that she had. And to have that splendid mmmmwah moment inadvertently, yet so innocently interrupted by a rag tag couple of boys and company more than just confident in her love for them, had to just shake her head at that missed opportunity and wimpered. Oh my!
And delighted, Michonne continued with her smiling as well as the drying off too!
But the young counselor couldn't, uh-uh wouldn't stop there! Oh no, she just had to think some more further thoughts because she was on a totally over the top roll with her reckoning. And she liked it!
I just bet those lips of his are something else to get a hold of too, Michonne thought amused. Me coming in contact with at least one of them just begging to be munched on would show that fine law man exactly what a kiss with yours truly really is as I slowly draw that inviting thing into my hot waiting little mouth, and would waste no time in going straight to town! Hot dog it! Make that cutie of a Sheriff's ten toes curl! Especially if it's that pillowy pink bottom one...Good Lord Almighty! Give a girl some strength will you! It would be dearly appreciate if YOU please would!
And musing that itch left the woman needing a fan...nope scratch that, some AC would certainly be so much better; blasting all the way on high for sure! Sweetly blowing her parched and thirsty self cool again!
True, that whole entire disruption thingy was a naive state of affairs on the part of their little lot, who with complete sovereignty, one quick knock, and pure oblivion put the kibosh quick on her and the Sheriff's whole unexpected whatever it was definitely on its way of being, unknowingly killing it with a whole lot of speed before it could even really become her and the Sheriff's thing!
And Michonne quite amused remembering, also remembered just how her over assured boys with some additional unchecked freedom made themselves entirely at home in her bed too. Which all was done ever so politely as the two got in and laid hold of their place in between the two still blushing adults, further adding injure to the good Sheriff's game with the boys not actually caring a lick that they had, then purposely did they gave all their attention to a smiling her.
However, it was what had happened after the drive home last evening that Michonne and her Munchie totally slept right through thathad a young woman reeling with an even more broader smile remembering a bit more of that something else too...
And that specific recall would be all about Sheriff Richard Zane Grimes III, and his rather unique way of waking an asleep girl after they all got back last night! And it was recollecting him and that, dare the beauty acknowledge was the cause of all of her now crumbling resolve. Clearly knowing to stop while ahead, but clearly would she?
HECK to the nuh, nuh she wouldn't!
Not only had Michonne's smile grown speedily wider with every ponder of that memory, but also had the sistah giddily blushing, exactly just like a teenage school girl with a juicy secret that at present had her whole self still tingling from top to bottom, and all hot from the law man's being so ever close; so all personally up near her right ear while the boys and puppies alike slept on in back soundly as he breathed out low and throaty, "Lovely and beautiful wake up we're home."
And Michonne along with her body now fully awake shivered from a certain kind of quivering excitement that that particular reminiscence generated. Evidently her mind had no problem going back there again! And thatwas gladly on purpose too with her still in awe at having yet to figure out just how she even heard the man's every syllable when so deep in sleep herself, just as all the boys were!
And so wide-eyed did the counselor awoke to that man's steely blue's breathtakingly piercing the hazel brown that were hers, and caused the girl's blood to rush! The two were face to face eye level with Sheriff Grimes smiling a smile that had the young woman almost hyperventilating then, as well as certainly now brought on the giggles...definitely hers!
Good Gracious!
Just recalling that certain moment gave Michonne goosebumps! Not only had his nearness been quite the stimulator, but his scent too; arousing her everything everywhere; certainly then, most definitely right now! Giving the cheshirey Michonne a whole lot of ongoing pleasure that caused the girl in mid thought to just have to stop and not go there.
But going there was already way too late with the lightheaded young woman mentally savoring every last moment with that goodlooking Sheriff way too close for comfort...obviously hers, as if he was something fabulously sweet, milk chocolaty, and definitely oh soo deliciously for-bid-den, chalked filled full with some mighty tasty toasty nuts!
Yeah buddy!
And Michonne closing her eyes took a deeep breath, she just had to! That mouthwatering memory just struck a nerve, a super sensitive one that had a girl slowly shaking her head over and over again with her quivering some more in thought thinking...
Have mercy please! Get thee hince behind me you baby hormones!
Thenafter a few minutes, and with her faculties somewhat under control the extremely flushed young woman slowly went back to what she had been doing beforehand, and that was the lotioning of her body all over, but this time definitely more carefully and cheesed some more...,a whole lot more!
But then something sneaky came a theiving in, and snatched all her happiness away jussst as quickly, and with a vengeance too! Reality! A mighty big old fashioned fat dose of it when Michonne's alarm went off and caused her to remember something else...
《▪▪▪▪▪》
She'd almost forgotten...almost.
It was court day and knowing what that meant also knew that Munchie and herself would be living there in the condo alone once more; win or lose, either way her precious little Handsome along with his dad would be leaving her, Munchie, Cody, and the puppies too as both head back to King County later on in the day...and forever! And overwhelmed by that particularly sad thought caused the young counselor's heart to began to race, and surprising her even more was an accompanied ache trying hard to set in from the pending emptiness that she knew their departure would surely bring.
So Michonne now in a subdued mood as well as a joyless one too went over to her Sonos, turned it on, picked out a tune, and while methodically and very thoughtfully readying herself for the task that lay ahead began to dress with Boney James's Butter playing softly in the background...
《▪▪▪▪▪》
First was the meticulous putting on of some very expensive and rather sexy underwear; a black lace demi bra coupled with its matching boy leg bikini pantie that didn't do a thing at all but accentuate, coupled with a pair of silk thigh high stockings which brought on a short smile to the pensive girl's lips as she observed herself in the mirror; noticing just how extremely good her Munchie still is to its mama's body.
And with that went the putting on of make up done with less being just perfect, plus perfume sprayed which definitely no doubt will draw, but whom only time will tell! Michonne smiled more as she did her thick heavy hair up just right before starting the putting on of each piece of her previously laid out court room attire which the young woman did with so much precision and utmost care...
A crisp light blue blouse, and the shimmying up of a dark blue skirt over her baby pronounced hips had Michonne afterwards making sure that everything was neatly tucked in, zipped up, and buttoned closed just so with a gold chain belt that hung exactly just so to the right of her side. And most importantly finishing off the look was her uninjured foot shod with the perfect fashionable low heel shoe that not only matched her outfit, but footboot too!
All and all, Michonne I. Rénald Esquire, a true warrior in her own right was now for sure dressed and ready for the battle ahead, which is of course her most important engagement ever! And her lovingly with onlyone goal in mind...the total wellbeing of both her boys no matter what! Which that in itself is always definitely going to be what is the best for them both! And it matters not what that best is, where it is, when they need it, nor even how ever far they are from her eyesight, that's Michonne's mindset with no exceptions!
Naturally, neither she nor Andrea's were willing to accept anything less than a victory; success was the name of the game, and it is all theirs to have! Her Handsome and his dad deserves no less and if she has anything to say about it, they will be going home together as should be!
And she in a carefully written two page report, mapped it all out to the judge saying just that all in the father and son's favor. Not only is Michonne her Handsome's advocate, but caring loving friend too who wants the best for the boy, which is his dad!
And the accomplished lawyer as ready as she'll ever be left her bedroom heading towards the one currently being used by her boys. She was going there to check to see if Cody was dressed and ready for school as well as leave her other little darling a very special calling card.
Then after all of that with an adoring hand, the young woman wrote both he and his dad a brief note which was politely stuck to the fridge; denoting that that particular act, a first for Michonne ever, and most definitely the very last of its kind too because neither she nor the appliance do sticky notes on it, but the girl did want the item seen, not missed!
And together the rarely ever not confident young counselor with her suit jacket now on and overcoat with brief case in hand, followed close behind by her other special boy Codes were ready to leave. Michonne was dropping her premier shopping buddy off at school as a favor to the boy's getting to know each other all over again parents before his dad has to leave once more for parts unknown!
However, before any of that leaving stuff, or stopping by Mama Ella's for all their breakfasts needs including that of Andrea's and both of their secretaries too wouldn't be happening. No, not at all until she made sure that the twelve year old was warmly dressed. Which he will be, and lovingly so did too!
Then and only then did the pair head for and out the door.
《▪▪▪▪▪》
Sheriff Richard Grimes filled so with both anxiety and distress found himself standing transfixed under a deluge of both his thoughts as well as water once steamy hot, now certainly lukewarm, and in a bit would be cold as ice as he held his head low with hands propped solidily up against the luxuriously designed black and white shower wall.
The man in agony seemed to be just occupying space as the massaging droplets sprayed down hard all over his troubled body from two different expensive shower heads; one flush with the ceiling above, and a hand held mounted one out in front of him.
His bothered mind was caught up in a tight grip of the what ifs; a familiar turmoil from way back that had him staring expressionless as the water running down the length of his tense frame drained out clockwise near his feet. Sadly, the poor man had been in that position for quite some time; a very long time even after actually having taken his for real shower much earlier!
But some particular appearances can be deceptive since Rick Grimes wasn't taking up space! Oh no, uh-uh, not at all! The Sheriff as hard as he knew how was just trying to get ahold of himself, and his emotions.
Everything of importance (his boy Carl) depended on the fact that he does, and he'd hoped too that some rather extremely warm pounding water would do the trick to alleviate some of that pressure invading his senses, but no such luck...because all that heaviness was still there caroursing strong all throughout his being; it was court day, a time of reckoning between he and Lori for Carl, which he could not forget!
And once again, later on today, his child's wellbeing will be decided by a judge who really didn't know anything at all about what was at hand, which was his boy's happiness! And Rick in the middle of that storm of uncertainty just had to hope that this time around will be totally different with him ecstatically being able to take his boy home with him.
However, even with things being the way that they were at present, the afflicted law man also knew just how blessed he was in having such a welcoming ray of sunshine that was their Miss Rénald, so close by and without question directly right there in his corner concerning Carl during the dark.
She's an ever present bright spot that gives Rick hope even in his distress, and joyously that was so unlike the last time he was up against his ex. And that also made Carl's dad more than just happy, but grateful too! Especially in having the young woman along with her friend Andrea Harrison willingly ready to fight relentlessly for both he and his boy's future.
And to prove to the universe and to himself just how at ease he was at having the two young lawyers help (Rick really did trust them because he really did trust in Michonne), allowed his mind this time to wonder off subject just a tad as he stepped out from under the now cold shower soaking wet. And reaching for two towels wrapped one of the plush things around his rather long torso exposing his adonis belt, and the other one afterwards to briskly towel dry those sopping wet, but on so sexy curls of his.
Then from out of a nowhere while doing so came a the sure something with his mind venturing elsewhere, andproduceda sudden smile that ran straight across the law man's unwittingly handsome face; purposely replacing that forlorn profound worried demeanor of his from earlier. But only because Rick Grimes was now thinking about something other than his boy Carl, and him having to fight his ex wife once again for their son.
Selfishly, for a short interval of time it was just going to be all about another important person now engulfing his life...the beautiful beauty Michonne, aka his Miss Rénald.
《▪▪▪▪▪》
Yesterday had been the best! He'd almost kissed her!
And yes Rick after all of that spiel about no more formalities decided to mentally cop to the fact that he just loved calling Michonne "Miss Rénald" after all, and would until he no longer doesn't, which certainly was contrary to what the good Sheriff had voiced on Sunday, less than a full twenty-four hours ago!
How else could the enamored man feel, since every last moment spent with her Loveliness before and especially after their near smooch was just pure gold wonderful! He also knew if it had not been for those scamps coming in and putting a stop to grown folk stuff, that kiss of theirs would have natually been absolutely spectacular! A genuinely enjoyed taste of her which he knew would be nothing less than delightfully sweet, and most definitely hot!
Nonetheless, him experiencing anything with the young woman period was still sublime.
And Rick Grimes filled with a whole lot of pleasure from that revelation found himself willingly grinning more, because just like a geek, he'd used the word sublime to describe how glorious his and the fabulous Miss Rénald's time together had been, even in spite of that ball-buster, her Uncle Henry, who since from the start, with a set of severe steel grey eyes stood standing at the base of the stairs and watched intensely as the Sheriff and the man's precious niece, along with their companions came walking down the staircase together as one complete unit.
Why so? Rick did have an idea, but each time that that beautiful young woman smiled that smile that enthralled him completely which was all the way down to his toes and back up again, did nothing except caused a mean muggin Uncle Henry to not even be a distant afterthought in the man's occupied mind.
And the Sheriff now feeling his oats just had to muse, Oh well, the rest of the family likes me!
Then the memory of something more pulled out an even bigger smiled from him...their drive back home last night. His Miss Rénald right before leaving had informed Rick that Munchie was extremely sleepy and would he mind driving becausd baby wanted company. And him not minding at all gladly did, because baby and its mother was his pleasure along with a haunting desire to make happy.
And that drive back with all the passengers asleep which included the puppies too felt oh so familiar to the law man, yet not a real family pre se but still his, and that was to love, honor, and protect, which he would willingly do to the death. And to the Sheriff's chagrin it all ended way too quick as he drove down in the underground parking area of Michonne's building, where he placed Michonne's Audi in her parking spot ever so carefully, but also found himself in heaven on earth too as he sat close to the young woman.
His being able to watch her (but not in a creepy way) as she slept was so extremely precious to him; she was such a lovely sight and thing, and the law man really did hate having to wake the beautiful woman and Munchie, but it was time to do so. They couldn't all just stay where they were until morning, or when everyone just chose to wake up on their own now could they? Besides everybody had a very big day ahead of them tomorrow...there was school for Cody, and court for the rest of them on the morrow.
So with a smoothness not imagined possessed by the Sheriff, unbuckled not only his seat belt but their host's as well, and then leaning in ever so close with a desire that made everything in him to deliver that kiss now, and certainly would have if only Michonne had been awake. But instead the man incapacitated by her, as well as that alluring perfume she was wearing said in his sleeping beauty's ear, "Lovely and beautiful, wake up we're home." Then pushing his seat back level with Michonne's inclined one waited smiling the whole time until she did.
And Rick standing there in the bathroom like an even geeker teenager with a just as geeky grin to match thought, Now that was something else and almost made up for their delayed kiss. He'd seen the evidence of it the moment Michonne opened her beautiful eyes and looked his way all wide-eyed.
Then with one unintended innocuous move, the cheesing man ushered in unintentionally yet another kind of reality! An unsettlingly as well as upsetting one; and quickly did it caused him to sadly doubt it all after he innocently took his hand to swiped away some of the obstructing condensation from off of the steamy bathroom mirror.
Lo and behold there it was, Rick with a truck load of dubious self-consciousness, saw what he foolishly assumed he knew what Henry saw after he himself, took that closer look. And that in itself saw a salt and pepper beard in need of a good shave, showcasing a man's age as well as the fact that the Sheriff wrongly taking into account he was no where near good enough for a woman like Michonne; Henry's precious niece. But not once did the self harrassed law man give into account what the said niece may see, feel, or want for herself!
It was William C Henderson all over again, andsadlythe misguided beginning of Rick Grimes second guessing himself when it comes to the young lady who has such a loving grip on his bedeviled hurt heart already.
Unfortunately, him thinking anything about his ex father-law period just compounded all of those unfounded fallacies of his too...the law man not being good enough for Lori as a husband, their failed marriage, and Rick failing at being the very best father to the man's grandson, coupled with the fight of his life for the second time concerning Carl, hadthe Sheriff knowing that he could not lose again without that ending him for sure.
Obviously, Sheriff Grimes with all that falseness embeded in his mind was of the opinion that Henry Bradshaw saw those short comings too! Whatever else would cause the man to have such an unfavorable reaction towards him from the very start!
But then something mighty unexpected, and radically over the top beautiful happened; a totally precious, yet simple little something packing a wallop...a heartfelt full of love something, along with a big old toothy grin to boot something! The kryptonite that would blot out all of that invading rotgut coming against a father's mind that he'd done very little to resist against something...
"Hi Dad!"
《▪▪▪▪▪》
Carl lying in the middle of his dad's bed appeared quite content, comfortable and certainly at home as he on his stomach with a pile of their host's comic books, neatly sprayed out on either side of him had a might big smile for the law man despite all that was going on with them both today.
Needless to say, it was that smile of his that did nothing but put a very quick halt to his dad's big old mind funk as he looked back grinning too.
"Hey son!" the man said as he happily greeted his boy with the very same fervor of his boy's greetings. "You ok?"
"Uh-huh," replied the law man's sense of being as he went back to his reading and the swinging of his little legs with not one care in the world.
"Good to hear, good to hear Son," smiled his dad more.
"How are you Dad? You good too!" piped back his boy.
"Yep, I am now."
And Carl smiling broadly spoke again but in thought mode, meaning he was reading with his quick mind on two elsewheres.
"Dad will we ever go back to Michonne's house up on the hill? I had so much fun there, and I'm really hungry!"
And the Sheriff's heaviness now in recess gladly said, "You know what my boy, I had a really good time there myself! Maybe we'll go back someday, but for right now I'm hungry too, so let me get dressed and you go get washed up, then you and me will go to the kitchen and find us something good for breakfast!"
And with no surprises in store, the father and his son did exactly that but so much sooner because Carl was already washed for breakfast. He'd used Michonne's bathroom earlier that morning after having gone there looking for both Michonne and Cody, but didn't find them, yet did find something else, Michonne's matte colored good-bye kiss that she'd lovingly plastered straight in the middle of his sweet little forehead before leaving. Surprising her Handsome to no end when he looked into her bathroom mirror.
The boy had an extra eye; a lipstick one at that, then he cheesed tremendously.
And when Sheriff Grimes and Son made their way to the kitchen, Michonne's boy saw yet another one of his friend's messages which he asked his dad to read out loud, that the man gladly did:
"Good morning Sheriff Grimes and my Handsome Boy,
" I had to leave rather early this morning; Codes had school, and I have things to take care of before meeting you two for court this afternoon which is at two, but Andrea would really like you there about twelve Sheriff, no less than twelve-thirty. And I'm so sorry about that Sir, the woman is an excellent lawyer, but a diva just the same!"
And Rick mentally groaned to a stop, he just couldn't help it, she called him "Sir" again, but in written form. Then afterwards, he with some bent feelings continued with the out loud reading.
"As for you Handsome, my sweet boy. Mama Ella's delivering breakfast at nine sharp for the two of you so eat it all my special man, because there's a very big day ahead. Don't want anyone saying that you haven't been treated well by your missing meals! Ok! "
And Carl straight out blushed.
"And Sheriff I have something specifically special for you! I know that you with your hand all bandaged and stuff would really like to shave before court but can't! So I asked Tony from downstairs to come up and give you and our boy a hair cut and you a shave, that is only if you like. He'll be here no later than ten-thirty which will give you and my Handsome both plenty of time to eat then get ready afterwards."
"Drive safe."
"M"
And the man with those beautiful blue eyes, and feelings no longer twisted just because of Miss Rénald, blushed and smiled all at once; the young woman was definitely too much! And that elation he kept away from his boy's eyes. However, Rick taking those measures were totally unnecessary when his son was way too busy grinning himself all happy and such...Michonne ordered them breakfast, and call him her sweet boy as well as special man.
And the Sheriff regardless of his uncertainty when it came to his feelings, or the right thereof to even have them for their Miss Rènald was still more than glad that he and his boy had met her, and that she was a part of their lives in spite of Henry Bradshaw not caring for him much, if not at all!
But that was another battle for another time, it was nine o'clock sharp, the door bell was ringing, and he and his boy's breakfast was on the other side of the door waiting...Miss Rénald's note said so!
《▪▪▪▪▪》
"Sirs, you can't go in there without being annouc-"
Ellis stopped quick, cutting the shocked young woman off by saying, "Oh it's okay young lady, if he's not expecting us than the idiot's more of a fool than we've given him credit for!" Then he and a very focused Henry continued with their walk past the secretary's desk straight into Micheal Rosslyn's office at 8 a.m. in the morning, without him being forewarned.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Rosslyn," said Ava, the surprised man secretary as she rushed her way pass the trespassers. "Do you want me to call security?"
And Mike tried from having spent the last 40 something hours in jail, even though he just knew Michonne hadn't pressed any charges really wasn't in any mood...but would deal with her and that later, however for right now...
"No, no, no, Ava, why don't we just wait ten minutes or so, then call," smirked the unwise impudent attorney. And Henry in an icily no-nonsense manner wiped smirk right off of stupid's face when telling Ava without moving his eyes from her nut of a boss!
"Don't bother Ava is it?" And Henry not meaning to be rude continued anyway before the young woman answered.
"Because what I have to say to stupid here will take less than that; one, two, maybe three minutes tops, since it will be short, sweet, and right to the point. In other words, well meant, and to be well heeded to if this fool of an ass has any good sense at all!"
And Ava shivered, while Mike looking on, not pleased with them at all or any of those negative epithets swallowed hard just the same as she left him there, all alone with the two who he knew definitely meant business! And Ellis being a thug from way back shook too, because he knew better than most that Henry with that tone was dead serious as well as deadly, their years of training as a Marine assured to it!
But Micheal Charles Rosslyn not one to back down no farther than necessary looked at both of Michonne's uncles with bravado which in reality was plain and simple cloaked idiocy said.
"Now gentlemen what can I do for you all, as you both can see, unlike the two of you, I am really very busy!"
And Henry feeling Ellis's impatience to just beat stupid out of the nincompoop spoke again, but this time in a hiss. He was tired of that smug tool himself, and his beat down was years over due!
"Micheal" he said looking Michonne's ex straight in his eyes," do you know that the moment it was you instead of Terry walking through Ray and Emmy's front doors with our Baby Girl had a hole out in the marsh of Savannah with your name written all over it? Who you are now, and what you were back then was evident, but Ray said 'No leave him alone' even though there was a sign glaring A No Good Gold Digger Is Using Our Girl To Try To Get Ahead In Life etched all over you from day one.
"Annnd when you left Michonne pregnant right after her parents were gone, to marry get another woman also carrying your child too-well that hole was still there but deeper. Sadly, our sweet girl said, 'Leave him alone Uncles'."
However, it was all you who saved your own life that time my boy, not Michonne nor Ray!
Thankfully, you by letting our girl know just what a piece of waste you truly are when stupidly announcing you wanted no part of your baby either, dumbly had its rejected mother times two have an agreement written up at your own insisting saying exactly that, which you would gladly sign no questions asked!
"And not surprising just like a fool you did signed it despite your lawyer advising you to the contrary all because of pride.
"Michonne's not crumbling when you left, and then challenging your bluff by doing exactly as you expressed was just more than your manhood could handle! However, the moment you did signed my agreement you knew you'd stepped in it big time, because Henry Archer Bradshaw half steps with nothing, especially when it comes to any of my girls...but especially Michonne!
"And I know your council then, as well as currently now has told you there are no mistakes to be had with every last punctuation mark exactly where it is suppose to be, all i's are dotted, as well as t's crossed.
"So your last recourse until you find yourself a lawyer as good as I was you just dropping by and aggravating Michonne until you can get that agreement you signed against sound advice reversed, but good luck on that because Hell is no way near about to freeze, nor are you going to continue to harass our Baby Girl.
"If we, the two of us," Henry says pointing to both Ellis and himself, "ever hear again that you've been back at her building or anywhere near it, her, or hers, then you are dead. Ellis and I will proudly take you out within a blink of an eye!
"Yep, our sweet girl will surely know what has happened, and so will the rest of the family too! But naturally they won't tell, because when it comes to you we're all in the same mindset...good riddance! And Hattie certainly will no doubt cry and be all sad for a while herself, but in the end both mothers and their children will be so much better off for it in the long run.
"Mike my boy! We're truly giving you a chance and a choice here, so take it! Live or you die, it's no skin off of either my or Ellis's nose, because one way or the other Michonne will have peace. Is that clear? Of course it's all up to you how that comes about, now you have a mighty fine day and great life too, if that is what you so desire! If not, do as you please, and serve the consequences, please!
"And one more thing Sonnnn...it wasn't Michonne dragging her feet in having those charges dropped. You were never officially charged, it just looked like you were, and your paper work to get out of jail just seemed to have gotten lost. I made sure of it!"
And then the two definitely done with the punk, confidently walked out of Mike's office pass his secretary Ava's desk and sincerely wishing her a very good day were on their way to confront and deal with yet another fool..that idiot of a guard at Michonne's building who thinks Mike has some kind of clout around there when it was Henry, Ellis, and now Michonne who owns the place!

Shane having worked quite a sweat up, smiling with pride the whole while hit Lori's sweet spot effectively with each and every last one of his thrusts. Oh how he just loved make-up sex, especially so early in morning! And his woman's moans was the music that his ears just loved hearing.
Bet Ricky Boy's never made you sing like that Darling, thought the virile man as he shot hot seed into his ex friend's ex, now his lover's waiting womb unimpeded by no protection at all, and neither did he move for some times afterwards. Mr. Envious just wanted to make sure that his and Lori's many times of love making after her chaste kiss for forgiveness, sealed the deal for a little Walsh that will bind them both together forever!
Just like Rick and Carl, Shane deviously thought.
And long after the Deputy Sheriff decided to mercifully removed himself from his woman, Lori laid wrapped up in his smugness's satisfied arms pretending being asleep when actually was wide awake, and has been for quite some time, she had a lot on her mind. None of it had been all that great anyway until Rick, but what's a girl to do except lie in the bed that she so foolishly made for herself, and pretend that too!
Shane just wasn't what or whom she now wanted, if ever really! Yet to get through his well endowed head tirelessly jabbing her tender hole in and out, off and on since yesterday after that kiss, didn't began to enjoy any of it until she started envisioning her ex. Then and only did each moan became real, so much so better than Oscar worthy because with each of Shane's knocks at her sore door, it was truly only Rick doing it for her!
And when those fantasies got just too much for Lori to keep from calling the Sheriff's mighty good name out, overwhelmed by nothing but pure ecstasy, sweetly all due to the thought of her first love would bite down hard on her lips, drawing blood. Which when tasted by her cocksure lover, drove Shane wild with him thinking hubris, "Hot damn, I 'm just that good!"
And Shane none the wiser that he'd been snookered gently disengaged Lori from his arm musing, Good sex always knocks his girl out afterwards. Then the man extremely pleased with himself over and over again, happily went his way a whistling as he headed to the bathroom for a shower.
But, for real what the studly stud really wanted was a couple more goes at Lori, after all they still had three whole hours before going to get Carl, but would let his woman rest up until he's finished. However, that enthusiasm of his wasn't shared by Lori at the moment because she was too worn out, nevertheless, surely not by thoughts of him doing the glorious deed.
Besides, here lately there was only one other man in her life that she wanted to spend any extra time with and Shane was neither one of them!
Maybe if Rick and me could meet, just the two of us alone and talk things out before court. Isn't it Rick and I who are Carl's parents. I know that we can come to an agreement, then all of the uncertainty concerning our boy will be a fait accompli, Lori thought laying all still.
No third party at all, just him and her, Carl's parents. No losers only winners with her taking their son back home with her and Shane, that is until she could get Rick to take her back.
But then real, real hit Miss Thang square in her face!
Michonne, the roadblock to her Rick. And Lori knew that the woman was going to fight with everything in her beautiful self to see to it that her baby boy was going back to King County without her, but his dad only!
And the spoiled woman seeing red and feelinb defeated got up! She was no longer in the mood to pretend, and went straight in behind Shane to share his shower. Irrefutably, if not for that young lawyer's interference of Rick, this whole thing would be a mute point, because before Her, the Sheriff definitely was hers to control.
But two can play that game Rick, Lori thought angrily, reaching down for a smiling Shane's now limp middle leg, and touching it back to life made Shane coo. And no way in heck was it the itate wonan's intention this time to have her ex on her brain when the man started his game of a python pokin her hole again!
But try as she might, Lori just couldn't get the foine Sheriff out of her head with Shane working her over once more, and real good too! But again, just like earlier it was only the thought of Rick making Lori sing out in ecstacy as she and Shane added to the steam in that enclosed glass shower!
《▪▪▪▪▪》
Mike sitting in his office sat there with the lights off and back to the door. He'd been that way, up in his prized location, there on the top floor of his new father-in-law's high rise law firm's bank of offices in the building the generous man owned as well.
And fittingly that had been Mike's position since telling Ava to just hold all his calls, which she did a mere nanosecond after the Uncles departure almost an hour or so ago! And him in that corner office of his, looking out seeing but not really seeing the view was a man definitely thrown by their visit that had him completely shaken to his core!
"Michonne's Uncles really wants me dead," a staggered Mike thought. "And that's been since day one!"
Then his mind went elsewhere, but still on topic.
On top of all that both were wearing all black too; an attire surly not unusual for Ellis, he's a minister after all. But Henry, he no doubt was born with a Brook Brothers strain in his DNA, and that too had the man not really believing the nerves of those decrepitOG wannabes coming in at him all threatening like.
Nonetheless, Mike knowing better swallowed hard once more, because Michonne in passing told him how she once by accident overheard her father and those uncles talking about how wearing the Stygian color was the concealment of so many undesirable things...like one hiding in the dark just waiting to pounce, or someone elses blood to name two! And he swallowed even harder.
But Mike just as tenacious as ever was still no where near on giving up no matter how ever rattled he was. Yes, that particular door just may be closed in getting back what had been so strategically stolen, but there's always more than one way to skin a cat. And the cosmos knows that the Rénald, Bradshaw, Johnson, and Anthony clans were way over due for a mighty good old fashion paring down!
"Are you really so sure that all will be ok if I just do disappear Uncle Hank? Huh! Maybe, may be not everyone thinks the way you and Ellis does? Michonne sure won't, I'm that baby daddy! And surprise, surprise she's not the only one believe you me! And I'm not talking about Hattie either!
"No matter what you say, like it or not old man just as long as there is a baby I will be somewhere around. I've done way too much, given up far more than I should have, and gotten exactly too little in return to just give up now and go away all quiet and empty handed like!" hissed the quite stupid man out loud to himself as he now with a very dark scowl, continued his intense gazing out into the cold open space of his ruin day.
Some eight years earlier...
Mike walking into the commons saw his mark and smile. "You know I do love you Terry man," he thought," but you're not going to do anything but squander that opportunity over there...,how-ever I sure as Hell won't!"
And the Serpent proceeded to saunter over to a very green and oh so naive Michonne who's sitting alone, and that's all thanks to Terry's impromptu visit home for his mom's birthday.
"Hey there beautiful, do you mind if I sit here?" the Devour all smooth and innocent looking said as he smiled broadly. And Michonne with a whole lot on her mind (Calculus Midterm) looked up, then all around and back at him again, and having noticed that there were plenty of empty tables shrugged her shoulders and said with sarcasm.
"Why not, go ahead, the place is rather crowed now isn't it," then promptly went back to her studies.
"Thanks! Professor Davis class? Mr. Slick ignoring the tone said and asked, knowing the book all too well and extended a hand out after taking the seat across from her. "My name's Mike."
Sadly, Michonne to her further risk looked up again, but this time smiling, shook the weasel's hand replied back, "Hi I'm Michonne, and yes it is! Have you taken any of his classes before?"
Then Mike so very proud of himself said yes too, but twice. Natually, first in his mind, second out loud, and both with feeling because math along with computers were the young man's forte and way in.
And happily for the next four hours him Satan's protégé sitting across fromTerry's girl found them two consuming burgers, fries, some very large cokes, chocolate cake, and staying put, right there at that table as he sized up his prey while patiently helping Michonne with her math until the girl had it all down pat. And to seal it all tight, Mike definitely not so honorably offered himself up to meet the novice whenever or wherever she liked for farther tutoring.
"That class is only going to get harder before the semester ends," the wolf to the lamb said he! And that calculating rat even gave Michonne his number gladly, which she innocently took ever so appreciatively.
However, Mike didn't dare ask the much younger then him hers, because he knew that that would come later on with the honorable young girl freely giving it, and so much more to him herself, all with Terry and Andrea's help.
Shamefully, that was the first step in Mike's getting the ballrolling when it came to Michonne with the planets aligning themselves just right; all in favor for his benefit.
And as expected Terry came back from Baltimore but with a preoccupied mind all thanks to his trusted best friend Mike's invisible machinations, and oh what damage did they do. But to the sneaky friend's dismay no one had a clue nor noticed, not even Michonne because her young man never once missed a beat with her ever! And that was all due to his love for his girl coupled with a determined heart that gave Terry the strength to accomplish that feat in spite of some extreme distress pressing down on him heavily.
Futhermore, that was even the case when the young man went home with her for Thanksgiving where he genuinely captured everyone's heart from the start, including those overprotective Uncles Henry and Ellis. However, when the two young people got back to school, and against sound advice to just wait (his mom and Mel's) Terry did what he considered right and broke things off with Michonne, honestly telling his forever love why. And the reason, an old girlfriend name Cyndie, her being pregnant, and that he's the baby's father.
Needless to say, the young woman inexperienced in heartbreak was devastated, and neither was she the only one included in that world of hurt. It was everyone back home, even the Uncles when they heard but also commended him for that decision, because Terry wasn't just saying goodbye for his unborn child's sake, but for Michonne's wellbeing as well!
And it was all so transparently clear that that sacrifice of his was all too evident of just how deep his love for her ran when choosing to just walked away from their girl instead of involving her with his troubles, which in turn would have just troubled Michonne's life even more unnecessarily. And that unselfish act of Terry's was looked upon by the whole family as nothing less than a more than just the right thing to do for her, but ever so noble too!
And sadly unbeknownst to any of them was old Mike, who with nothing in him that could ever be construed as something right, let alone anything even considered near decent in this whole sticky pot of a mess had been in the wings waiting as well as growing rather impatient by the day!
Because for the life of him, the man just couldn't figure out what was taking so damn long for everything to just go poof, and be done with! Wasn't it all him who called Cyndie, informing the girl that Terry would be in town that specific weekend not so long ago, knowing good and well that she not able to help herself would just stop by baby bump and all.
And Mike knowing Terry allll too well, from start to finish would just think the best of his former girl no matter what would accept his old love's word about the baby being his as truth!
Hell, Mike when he first heard about Cyndie's misfortune thought that Baby could even be his, he and Cyndie did hooked up once or thrice after Terry left for summer school. But then Mr. Congeniality quickly pushed that nightmarish thought right out of his head, because the baby could be the results of any of the other myriad amount of men at her parents countryclub near the sea too!
Young or old, members or not, that young lady definitely was loose, and needed a chastity belt in order to keep a girl's overworked pootang chaste...well at least give the poor thing some much needed rest, and breathing space too!
But what else was Terry to do, even if the two were no longer a couple and hadn't been for quite some time, as well as mighty ignorant of her outside dalliances, had been there anyway. And even if he did ask for a DNA test, which at the moment was totally out of the question because Cyndie's pregnancy was extremely high risk where any procedure could cause harm to the baby would have to wait.
So when it comes to him or her, whomTerry has already fallen in love with would just swallow hard and hope for the best until then, because there's no way he's ever going to do anything to his child on purpose except love it. The young man also knew first hand what it was like to be raised without a father, and he truly didn't want his own flesh and blood going through that same pain.
Without question Terry intended to be nothing but the best dad ever! And that is exactly what he'd told a very subdued Michonne as well as her disappointed, yet understanding parents, aunts, and uncles when they came up to get their girl for winter break on their way to Idaho.
And after the Holidays of both Christmas and New Year's the boy and the girl found themselves in an agonizingly dark sadness that neither one were able to hide, especially when seeing each other daily around campus, hurting and battling that unnamed emptiness of theirs while a gleeful Mike, the hound keeps a smile throughout their misery until Andrea (the nothing but a thorn in his side since day one)!
And as fate would have it, the said young woman will just happened to be at the very same out of the way cafe the day Mike told the distressed Michonne was best for them to meet at...little or no interruptions for their studying.
Needless to say, straight up devious minds have the tendency to think just alike because Michonne's big sis was there with her own agenda too; the doing of a very married law professor, but all of that would just be secondary. First, they themselves will be partaking in some of that quiet and no interruption time before the two got real busy for their Valentine's Day celebration tryst! Andrea demand the location because he and she didn't need a wife making it an unwanted threesome!
"Me! What are you doing here?" Andrea asked forcefully; suspicious and rightly so cutting a very evil eye at Mike, and him innocently smiling back, watched the coed uninvited walking herself up to the startled pair's table.
"Oh, hey Andrea," Michonne said surprised, but really pleased to see her dear friend. " I'm here studying, Calculus I with my friend Mike here, he's tutoring me. And the friend Mike stood up to shake her other friend's hand but was ignored royally. And the snake wanted to strike back, but kept his cool.
"Thought your folks were coming up to spend Valentine's with you?"
"They were but all air traffic has been grounded from here all the way down toTallahassee until day after tomorrow, bad weather."
And Andrea now looking over at Michonne's table partner not liking his vibe or him wondered why she nor any of their other group hadn't met this Mike before now. And also not one to beat around the bush said.
"Mike, is it, just how old are you Mike? You do know that your much older than my little sister there, don't you Mike? Your up to something aren't you Mike, and you see her Mike," Andrea said while pointing at Michonne. "Our family's just like hill folk, loyal to a fault, and certainly will kill at the drop of a hat when it comes to that little girl there Mike...especially her dad and uncles Mike! So be very careful, because I am watching you Mike!
"Better yet Me, come on and let me take you back to campus! It'll be so much safer for you in the long run it I do!"
And Michonne just mortified had to remember to close her mouth before speaking thought, "How dare she," then said.
"No! And stop being so Andrea, Andrea. You're embarrassing me! Don't you have somewhere else to be? I believe your Woo over there is waiting, the astound young woman said as she looked the professor's way. "Besides, I drove my own car, and can certainly take care of my-self!"
And Andrea not really knowing what to do with that one, because that is exactly what her professor was...a woo! She'd used every trick in her personal war chest to pursue him. And that was from her very first class against his every "No" until it became a "Hell Yes" while making his toes curl from her riding him so incredibly and delightfully hard when he did give in! And for Michonne to use that to get her point across in front of that wolf really stung!
"Okay, Michonne Issabella Rénald, have it your way," Andrea said hurt, she knew that familiar oh so very well, and was only trying to save her friend from a shark and probably a very big mistake with her still raw from Terry, and just walked off without even saying a goodbye.
And Michonne felt really bad, but not bad enough to call or go after her friend. She had no right talking to her like that especially in front of Mike! She did know how to take care of herself though! And would also say sorry to Andrea later on for being so very short with her, however later on would be two whole days in their future.
And Mike always one to sniff out an advantage, knew that he had to move fast...that Andrea was a threat for sure, and did just that by using the two friends temporary riff; offering solemnly to take Michonne home in spite of her car being out in the parking lot, only because he saw just how upset she now was. He'd bring her back in the morning which the greenhorn readily agreed too.
But on their way back to campus the two ran into a detour just as Mike was hoping. It was really storming out and the roads were flooded which was nothing new, and his and Terry's apartment just happened to be near by and also empty. How convenient, Terry had gotten a call earlier before dawn that morning, Cyndie was in labor and on her way to the hospital. And Mike convincingly pointing out the very dangerous road conditions together with his car stalled, informed Michonne that he stayed near by and it would be safer then their current situation.
And the waaay out of her league girl, apprehensive wasn't too keen on going to the apartment alone with him, but Michonne also knew too that she couldn't stay in the car on a flooded street either, yet somewhat kinda sort of willingly went with Mike. What other choice did she have, besides Andrea knew who she was with if something happened.
But, if Terry had ever introduced her to Mike, or even taken Michonne to his place, or if she'd just accepted Andrea's offer to take her back home, what happened not long after going to the two friends shared place would no doubt never would have happened when it did, if ever...
《▪▪▪▪▪》
Both the man and the girl were drenched completely, and that left the girl shivering long after changing into one of the Calulator's way oversized sweat shirt, along with one of his long cotton tanks for modesty, because all of Michonne's clothing were now in the washer washing. And the so called man smartly to warm his guest up in more than one way placed brandy in both their hot teas, which not only took away the chills, but sadly her inhibitions too!
And Mike a spider in his element, where everything started out innocently enough with the two sitting on the couch together in front of a woodburning fireplace because, surprise, surprise all of the electric power was now out, and Michonne still cold just couldn't seem to get warm even after the brandy laced tea. So Mike the guy that he pretended to be caringly placed an arm as well as a blanket around the innocent, and pulled Michonne close, telling her in a whisper that their body heat would help warm her up faster.
Michonne apprehensive still, but less so now with the alcohol coursing through her virgin system went with it.
Then after a while with the rain falling, beating down hard against the steel metal roof, couple that with the crackling fire set a mood for a true seduction, and found the missy with her head resting up against Mike's firm hard chest as she contently listened to the rhythmic beat of his treacherous heart.
And her almost asleep, with a soothing warmth coursing through her looked up when hearing her name spoken ever so sweetly by the experienced enticer who bent down ever so, and softly placing his lips to hers went in for the prize, and no way did Michonne protest. Not even when Mike pierced her lips open with his probing brandy flavored tongue and captured hers sucking it just lightly at first.
Now the girl had been kissed before, but with Terry it had all been so very sweet and chaste.
But not so with Mike, he was suddenly in whole hog and so was Michonne with her now finding herself laying flat on her back down on the floor in front of the fire. And Mike with an experienced exploring hand found one of her harden nipples, and with a firm back and forth grip going on in between his thumb and index finger had a girl's mind all a jumble, trying hard to think but couldn't.
Michonne's mind was all too wrapped up in too much pleasure; so wanting to say stop but with what Mike was doing, feeling so incredibly fabulously good through her brandy infused haze just couldn't find her tongue, but incredulously knew too late that things had gone way too far as he now some how was in-between her legs with his stiff hard member taking her prize, and pushed in unimpeded not even giving a girl the chance to prepare herself or protest his invasion.
Her tears came along with a cry out as he did.
What have I allow myself to get into Michonne thought filled full with regret?
Then Mike doing his thing for his benefit began moving in and out of her soreness; slow at first then faster, and finding his rhythm went full in for the kill. And what was at first a mighty painful shock to the inexperienced young woman's body, suddenly became a pleasure filled event that Michonne now knew what Andrea got so animated about as she instinctively wrapped her throbbing self and legs around her brand new lover, and moaned moans that caused a jubilant Mike to contently smile.
The dog had her, but good!
And sadly for Michonne without even knowing that that satisfyingly wonderful new experience of hers with Mike, would be far and very few times in-between in her future after their first two days together. He'd done what he'd set out to do...popped and conquered whatever else was there once his old buddy was no longer in the picture.
And Terry with both tears and a heavy heart, walking out of St. Joseph's Memorial hospital with his sister Mel and their mother Joyce by his side, realized that life could be really cruel at times, especially when one refuses to listen as the cold February wind and rain went through him assulting the disillusioned young man like the truth just had.
Naturally he should have been happy and over the moon with Cyndie after hours of labor, and him right there by her side had given birth to the baby, a beautiful 6 pound 12 ounce beautiful boy with beautiful jadeite green eyes and a head full of bouncy red hair.
Unfortunately for Terry, the baby looked just like Cyndie's dad's business partner Bradley James who's at least her senior by 25 years, and who unfortunately for him was also there along with his wife Micah waiting with the new grandparents for moral support. That girl of theirs has really been taking her parents through it of late.
And hospital security were called because there was a man down; a three against one Jackass ass beating was vigorously in process!
《▪▪▪▪▪》
Terry heading back to South Carolina, against his mother and sister's protest tried getting Michonne on the phone but couldn't. It went straight to her voice mail. He hope she's alright, the weather was bad where he was too, and also hoped that it wasn't too late, and that she'd give them another chance once they talk.
《▪▪▪▪▪》
"Uncle Henry, you and unk didn't have to do that," Michonne said, definitely sorry that the two had even bothered as she, Andrea, and the resolute imposing figure of a man stood in the near empty hall of the third floor of the Atlanta Court house. "Mike's really not worth all the aggravation."
"I know my dear, but you and Baby are!" the man replied back in his loving but no nonsense way. It was done end of story. "Besides, didn't Ellis and I tell you last night that we would pay him a visit this morning, and if Micheal Rosslyn loves life as he knows it, he'd do best to heed us both!"
The two women not surprised at all by that spoken resolution just looked back at Henry Bradshaw, because that was that, his word when it came to family was law. And the man without any shame, walked up to them, and lovingly kissed both his girls on top of their heads which neither would never ever get to old for and headed off to court. He had a very hard case ahead, that was just waiting on him to be won.
"You know that he and Ellis means it, don't you?" Andrea said while reading over her court briefs.
And Michonne watching their uncle disappear down the long hall not answering knew that they did, and had known since Saturday what she was going to do sooner than later. But to get off of the subject of her very poor judgment brought up Andrea's favorite subject; herself!
"Well tell me how your Thanksgiving was Drea? I know Delilah cooked all of my favorites."
"Uh-huh she did, and also prayed that God would immediately give me a good husband and a house full of babies that looked just like their daddy!"
And Michonne giggled and asked, "Why? Does she think you ugly?"
And Andrea looking over at her friend, cracking nary one smile said.
"Why Me, I didn't know you graduated from funny school too! Please promise me this, when you do decide to sue for fraud, let me repersent you in court, because they definitely stole your parent's money. Funny you are not!"
And Michonne continued to giggle which Andrea ignored by saying more because she just couldn't contain herself.
"Me-chonne you asked, now let me tell!"
Then Michonne contained herself posthaste.
"Well for starters quess who's grandmother Scootin Granny is...Jasper Hillengrad. You know...the boy that started me smoking because he was so smokin hot and definitely so good at what he did while being so smokin hot himself!"
And Andrea laughed at her own funny. Michonne did too, she'd really missed her friend.
"Guess what else Me," gushed Andrea all smiley, "just guess who I spent all night Saturday and most of Sunday with! Yep you hit the nail on the head, Jasper the older version. And-let-me-tell-you-this-missy, age ain't did a thang be preserve that which was allllready the best, and made it and him even better, extremely so!
"And if I'd known Granny was his grandma no way would she have had to take down my license plate herself. Oh, heck no (no cursing allowed, Munchie)! I would of gladly have given the old girl my address, email, cell, and three office numbers myself. It would have been so worth it! Annnd that's why Delilah prayed for me. She said I'm too loose for my own good."
And Michonne smiled some more and asked the question, "Are you?"
And her friend looking up from her papers again, looked her bestie straight in her eyes and hoping Baby's ears were closed began to sang, "Pish posh, Hell no! A girl just wanna have funnhun, oh a girl just want to have...fuuun!"
And Andrea still not smiling went back to her reading, then from out of no where both women heard.
"Hey you two, small world isn't?"
Michonne and Andrea looked over towards their right and saw a smiling Jason Dunbar and parroted "Hey you yourself" but only Michonne was smiling. And when their friend got closer naturally gave him the tightest hug ever as well as a quick peck on the cheek, and while doing so the young lawyer noticed a group of five with one looking rather bewildered and pinched faced.
Can't be, his client's Lori?
Needless to say, Michonne surprised beyond words also knew two of the remaining four, Shane was one, and the other was Mitchell Henderson (Oh no, Lori's cousin?) who's family firm she and Andrea both interned for during college and law school. And both handsome men gladly smiled a smile her way, then nodded back in response.
However the other two, a rather distinguished older man and a pretty older woman, no doubt Michonne's one-sided nemesis parents Mr. and Mrs. Henderson were acknowledge with the very same warm smile as Lori did nothing except continued her glare. So did the Sheriff's ex's father looking back gave Michonne a death stare equal only to his daughter's.
And if looks could draw blood, Michonne knew she'd be in need of a transfusion by now. But Lori the serene much older version, a totally different story from her daughter or husband, smiled back and with it was a genuine authenticity.
"And why are you here?" said Andrea dryly as she bored a stern look back at the very handsome blond lawyer who's green eyes matched hers and he knew they'd make some beautiful babies if only given the chance.
"Oh that's an easy answer, to beat the two of you for sure Darling." Jason replied smoothly as he lovelingly smiled back at her before returning to his shocked client and her group.
And Michonne if not pregnant would probably have said a very naughty word because this was going to be a doosy of a court hearing. Professional yes, but still something else just the same because both lawyers were very competitive with one being extremely in love with the other one; Jace has been with Andrea since way back in college. And then there was Lori and her dad, with both wanting her head. The Sheriff when describing the man had been very respectful of what he had to said, but made it quite clear that he lose very seldom especially when it came to his Bunny.
Then Andrea with one question brought Michonne back from out of her mind wondering.
"Our clients are running rather late don't you think? You did tell Sheriff Grimes no later than 12:30, right?"
And Michonne looking at her watch had to agree, they were late, it was 12:59! And taking out her phone hit the law man's number on speed dial without haste!
