Surprise Visitor
Ricky never knew how much trouble it was to cook breakfast. He couldn't understand how Divine did it every morning. He had to keep going, though. There was something that irked at him about this Dave fellow and he had to make sure he didn't loose her. He was almost finished when he heard the doorbell. He went to the door and opened it.
"Oh hell, not you." He said with a sigh.
"Nice to see you too, brother in law." Mika said with a smile coming in.
"Nice to see you too, Mika." He tried to smile.
"What the hell are you burning?" she said sniffing the air.
Boy, if she didn't have his wife's face, "I'm fixing her breakfast."
"Really?" she laughed, "And you plan on serving her this? Are you trying to kill my sister?"
"Are you going to be staying with us?"
"Oh, I suppose so. I think my sister needs me."
"Well, aren't you going to ask me?" he said as she headed upstairs.
"Yea, I'll ask, just hold your breath and I'll come back." She laughed.
Mika couldn't stand Ricky, he just made her skin crawl. So, she welcomed any chance to put stress on him. As soon as she was through with the model shoot, she hopped on a plane here. She could tell something was wrong with Divine and wanted to make sure that everything was okay. She went into their bedroom and saw Divine still lying in bed, sleep. She laid down facing her. She looks so peaceful, shame to wake her up, Mika thought.
"Wake up sunshine." She whispered, tickling her ear.
The gesture made Divine slap the side of her face as Mika laughed. Divine's eyes fluttered open and widen at the sight before her.
"Mika!" I screamed, hugging her.
"How are you, twin?" she said as I finally pulled away.
"I'm better seeing you here. When did you get in?"
"This morning. Once I finished everything, I got here as soon as possible."
"You let your hair grow a little."
"Yea, well, short hair can only go for so long. You look good." She said.
"Thanks." I said sitting up, "You too."
"Oh you flatter me." She said with a smile.
"Where's Ricky?"
"Downstairs trying to kill you."
"What?" I said shaking my head.
"Good morning honey." Ricky said coming in holding a bed tray.
"Hello." I said a little confused, "What are you doing, Ricky?"
"I thought I fix you breakfast in bed before I go to work. I mean you always fix me breakfast, it's about time I return the offer." He said as he sat it down in front of me.
"Oh, thank you." I said shocked and confused.
"No problem baby. Mika, you want anything?"
"No thanks, I prefer my food edible." She smiled and I looked over at him.
"This is real sweet Ricky."
"Nothing too good for you. Now, I'm going to be a little late coming home, but I will give you a call as soon as I can get home."
"Okay, anything special you want for dinner?"
"Anything you fix will be great." He said kissing my forehead and moving to the closet.
Wow, what a total 360. I wonder what brought this on. I never got breakfast in bed, nonetheless a kiss on the forehead since we first dated.
"I smell a rat." Mika said.
"Mika."
"What? You always tell me the man doesn't pay attention to you and now all of a sudden he brings breakfast in bed, come on."
"Maybe he's realizing that he wants this to work."
"And maybe the sky will turn green. Let's say we throw this in the garbage disposal and go to a diner." I just looked at Mika and pushed the food away from me.
I went downstairs to see Ricky off. Mika followed me and I noticed she had on some black jeans and suspenders with a white tank top. Like I said, I always loved her free spirit. I waited for Ricky and I handed him his briefcase.
"Oh honey, you didn't have to do that." He said.
"It's okay." I followed him outside to the car.
I notice he was looking around a little, wonder what he was looking for, "Well, I'll see you tonight." He said and gave me a kiss on the lips.
"Oh yuck." I heard Mika said.
"I guess I'll be seeing you too Mika." He said.
"Count on it brother in law." She plastered a fake smile.
He got in the car and pulled off. Wow, I really can't believe this. This has to do with something that happened yesterday. Please don't tell me it has to do with Dave.
"Who the hell is he kidding?" Mika said.
"Mika, he is trying."
"Trying a last nerve, I'm telling you my twin senses say he's up to something."
"He's being a nice man, finally."
"I just wonder what brought this…" she paused, "DAVE!" she screamed and ran over towards the street.
"Hey little Mika." He said stopping his jog to give her a big hug. I laughed to myself watching the two. They always were friendly to each other. I loved the fact that they liked each other. If only mom could see the good in him.
"What the hell are you doing here?" she said with a smile as I walked closer to them.
"I live here now. I stopped the wrestling business for awhile and opened a gym just outside of town."
"Get the fuck outta here."
"Where have you been?"
"Doing the photography thing, making money, you know me."
"Yes, I do, so what about this girlfriend thing?"
"Oh well, I had one, but we broke up over technical difficulties. She was driving me crazy." That's when we started laughing.
"So, what's going on?" he asked looking up at me.
"Nothing much."
"Are you okay? I was worried about you after yesterday."
"I'm good, just slept it off."
"Yea, and her husband is trying to kill her with burnt food. So, if you can hide all those muscles and stuff and you get changed into some clothes, I'll take you both out to breakfast. My treat." She smiled.
"I don't know. There's so much that needs to be done." I said.
"Oh don't wuss out on me. Afterwards, we can go to the studio and I can pretend to be your student."
"Just don't do what you did last time and almost stripped all over the place."
"It's a style of dance." She said shocked and I narrowed my eyes, "Only because I love you so."
"I love you too."
"So, how about it Dave? You love me enough to go." She smiled.
He laughed, "Of course, let me get showered up and dressed."
"Goodie." Mika smiled.
"I guess I'll get ready."
"Wear something red." Mika teased and I looked back at her, "Dave always liked you in red." I looked at Mika wide eyed and went back inside.
After showering and throwing the food away in the garbage disposal, I put on my black workout pants and red tank top. It was the only thing I could find.
Dave and I took separate cars to the French diner, another place outside of Grecian.
"So, how long since Dave has been here?" Mika asked.
"For a couple of days now."
"Really? Anything happening while I was away?"
"Nothing happened. We are just neighbors and Ricky sold him my downstairs."
"Oh nit wit actually did something right for a chance."
"Mika, he's still my husband."
"Unfortunately. Your husband is in that truck back there."
I sighed, "Mika, we broke up. We ended it a long time ago, eight years to be exact. I'm married and he's over me."
"Are you sure?" she asked, "Because I saw him looking at you the way he always did and that to me does not say he's over it."
"Well, I'm over it."
"Really? Well, we will see, twin. You know I love you and sometimes it takes someone you love to see what you don't see."
"So, you go travel around the world and become a philosopher?"
"Hey, I'm smart and an international babe." She winked and I laughed.
We went to breakfast sitting outside, laughing at Mika telling us what's been going on. I couldn't believe my sister, she was meant to travel. Myself, I like to stay grounded. I could tell something in her was saying she wanted a home.
"So, how is everything else?" she asked, "What happened with wrestling?"
"I took some time off to get a business going." Dave said.
"I saw some of your matches. I like the whole the animal thing and that you were this beast. Something I bet my twin called you."
"Mika!"
"Divine! I know my name, damn."
"Well something she did call me frequently, that's where I got it from." Dave said.
"Great, now I'm embarrassed." I said shaking my head.
"Oh, you'll be okay." She said slapping my back, "So, I bet all the women in that forsaken town just love you Dave."
"Something like that. Yesterday, they had a party for me and I brought my friend John with me. It was almost like they wouldn't leave us alone."
"Oh John, is he cute?" she asked.
"Yea, any answer that I give is not very masculine."
"I'll just ask the twin here."
"Can't wait to sink your teeth in to something new, huh?" I asked.
"Well, I'm going to be here, I might as well have fun." She said.
"Yea, it was pretty eventful, I know one name Janet, she said her husband couldn't make it to some charity ball and she wanted me to escort her."
"And her husband is okay with that?" I said.
"I guess so, I haven't gave her an answer. I mean it does seem like a good event. Anything to raise money for kids, I'm in for it."
"But you are going as someone's date, someone who is married." I said staring at him not believing what I was hearing.
"I'm just escorting her. I'm sure you don't mind. I mean, why would you?" Dave said and Mika just looked at me.
"No, I don't care, even you want to be someone's playboy that's your business."
"Oh, hitting below the belt, Di." Mika said.
"Be careful, I may think you're jealous, kitten."
"Don't flatter yourself." I said looking off.
A date? What the hell is he doing going on a date with that cow Janet? All she was going to do is drag him to that ball, make small talk and try to lure him into bed. Then he'll be the talk of the town as the great lay. He shouldn't belittle himself like that, that's just so stupid. Damn that Janet, I didn't like this one bit. I didn't want her having any part of him.
