Thanks for the great reviews. I prolly won't update anything till Tuesday or Wednesday, cuz I'm working.
Mark cleaned up the few dishes from lunch and looked back at the girls. "Why don't you two go play outside on the playground, its nice outside."
He had laid the sleepy baby down for a nap and he was hoping for ten minutes of peace and quite.
Trini jumped up. "Okay..c'mon Danni."
Danni rolled her eyes, but she got up and followed Trini out the back door. Mark sighed and watched out the window as they went to sit on the swings, he just hoped Danni didn't do anything stupid, like try to knock Trini off the swings, she was a weird little kid.
Misha sighed and loaded the last box of their stuff in her van. Thanks goodness that was done, she thought about calling and checking on Trini, but Mark had her number too, he would call if their was a problem. She had mixed feelings about the big man.
On one hand she didn't trust any man as far as she could throw him, but he seemed sincere about wanting to take care of the kids.
Trini seemed to take to him right away, in spite of his growling. She sighed, she really needed this job, she just hoped it worked out, if it did, it would be great for Trini, he was in a really good neighborhood, the schools were great there, she had to take her Monday and register her. School was starting back in less than a month. She had to start saving some money for school clothes too. She had a lot to get ready for and Danni seemed like she was going to be a handful. Misha shrugged, she was just grateful for the job.
Danni kicked her feet in the dirt, not really swinging, just watching Trini as she swung high in the air. "Does your mama make you wear pink?"
Trini laughed and slowed down. "No..I like pink."
Danni frowned and looked down at her own camo shorts and shirt and black sneakers. "Pink sucks."
Trini just shrugged. "So what do you wanna play?" She asked jumping off the swing.
Danni jumped up, pushing her tangled hair out of her face. "Let go play in the pool."
Trini shook her head. "I don't have a swimsuit, size my mommy said no pool unless she was with me."
Danni rolled her eyes. "Do you always do what she says?"
Trini thought for a minute grinning. "Yeah mosly..well sometimes I get under the covers and read after she goes ta bed and I cant sleep and sometimes I sneak a cookie when she says no I cant have no more, umm one time I got a ice cream off the ice cream truck, when she said no, but I felt bad bout it."
Danni looked at the girl like she was from Mars. "Welll there might be some hope fer ya."
"Let's go look at jerkfaces bikes, he's got some cool ones."
Trini followed behind Danni. "Umm are you supposed to mess with his bike?"
Danni shrugged. "I'm not gonna ride em, just look there pretty cool, some of em got skulls and graveyards."
"Well that does sound cool." Trini said running to catch up to Danni. "I guess if we just look its okay."
Mark couldn't believe the baby was sleeping this long. He even got to watch a little ESPN, he was laying back in his recliner just relaxing. It felt good not to have the baby squalling in his face. He sighed and sipped the coffee , he had made.
He would rather have beer, but he didn't think that was a good idea while he was in charge of three kids. His mind wandered to Misha, she sure was pretty, but he psuhed that thought away, getting involved with your kids nanny was just dumb, specially if she got all nuts ans clingy just cause they had sex and wanted to get all marriage minded. No he would have his women on the side, like he always did, they knew the drill, sex only, have a good time and leave it at that.
Trini looked at all the bikes, her eyes wide, they were big and shiny and new looking. Danni ran her hand over the one with the skulls. "Its a beauty huh?"
Trini nodded. "Yeah I bet they musta cost a lot huh?"
Danni nodded. "Yeah I think so." Danni got a little crate out of the corner setting it beside the bike and jumped up on the bike, grinning at Trini. "Cool huh..I wish I could really ride on."
Trini thought maybe it was a bad idea for her to be on the bike. "Umm why don't you ask your daddy ta take you for a ride."
Danni frowned. "He wont , he don't like me..he never even seen me fore last week."
Trini felt bad for Danni, but she figured maybe the two of them just needed to get to know each other. "Well at least you got a daddy, my daddy ran off, I think when he found out my mommy was pregnant with me, I heard her say that to someone."
Danni twisted the handles on the bike. "My dad did to..he just sent money for me, but he never came to see me."
Trini nodded. "Ya know maybe you better get off tha bike, cuz your daddy might be mad."
Danni shrugged. "I don't care let him be mad."
Trini didn't think this was a good idea for Danni ta be on the bike. Just then Danni went ta get off the bike and fell, when she caught herself on the side of the bike, she managed to knock the crate into the muffler, scratching some of the paint.
Trini looked worried. "Ohhh man..he is gonna be mad."
Danni shook her head. "Naw I'll fix it." She ran over and rummaged through the tool shed in the corner. "Ahhh hahhh here.." She ran back over waving a can of black spray paint in her hand.
Trini shook her head. "I don't think that's a good idea."
Danni just smiled. "It will work, don't worry."
Mark got up and went to the kitchen looking out the back window, frowning when he didn't see the girls. Where the hell had they got to?
Mark sighed, he should have known better than to leave them outside without checking on them.
He opened the back door and rushed out on the deck. Now where had they gotten off too. He checked around the pool afraid they may have wandered over there, but there was no sign of them. "Damn kids." He muttered as he stomped over to the right side of the house where the huge garage was.
Danni knew the garage was off limits, he had already had a talk with her about staying out of here, when he had caught her playing around on his bikes a couple of days ago. He really needed to put a padlock on it , he thought as he opened the side door.
He heard the girls chattering and followed their voices and when he seen them and his bike he just stopped.
Danni had black spray paint in her hand and was spraying his bike and it was everywhere, on her, Trini and the bike. "What are you doing?!!!!!!" He boomed so loud the girls jumped. Danni dropped the can. "I was just fixin' it..it had a scrape on it an I was coverin' it up that's all." She said looking up at him defiantly.
Mark could feel his blood pressure shoot up. "Both of you get your butts in the house right now." He bit out very angry as he looked at the ruined bike.
Trini was already crying, because she knew they shouldn't have come out here in the first place and now he was mad at her.
Danni just stuck her tongue out at Mark.
"MOVE!!!!!!!!!!" Mark roared at the girls causing both of them to take off running out of the garage and toward the house.
Mark sighed and looked at the bike, he could have the paint job fixed, but they wasn't the point. He was going to have to do something about Danni, the girl was nothing but trouble.
