Ch 9

"Keesha you really should get a nanny. I know you want to spend all your time with your kids, but a nanny will help a lot. Leticia goes everywhere with us. She is definitely a major help".

The two women were enjoying their spa day. They had been through a mud bath and were currently enjoying a deep tissue massage. Keesha maneuvered her head so that she could look at Carly.

"Carly, I know I need some help, but we just moved here and I wouldn't know where to look. Besides, I love being the one who solves their problems; I like listening to Maya ramble and have Justus show me his latest work of art. And I didn't miss a second of Maya and Justus' life when they were Lila's age and I'm going to be right there with her, for as long as I can be".

Carly shook her head in concession. "Alright, Keesha, but I will look into a nanny for you. I get some interviewees and then I'll help you make a decision".

"Fine, you've convinced me. I'll get a nanny. Who would've thought all those years ago that the two of us would be conspiring together instead of against each other?"

Carly threw her head back and laughed, "Yeah, what were we thinking? Fighting over a man".

Keesha looked at Carly and rolled her eyes. "You remember as well as I do why we were fighting".

"Yes, I do" Carly said fondly remembering her times with Jason.

"Ahhh, Jason, Jason, Jason. Mmmmmm", moaned Keesha remembering her times with Jason as well.

The women fell into a fit of laughter.

The two masseuses looked at each other and shared knowing smiles. They heard all of the Port Charles gossip while the ladies of the town lay on these tables.

After their massage Keesha and Carly manis and pedis, then it was time for lunch.

"What do you want to do for lunch?" Carly asked.

"I don't know" Keesha said.

"Ahhh, Keesha, you're thinking about the kids again. I promise you they are fine. This is our day to have fun and pamper ourselves. The kids are at the Quartermaine's. I know how Monica and Edward miss having a relationship with Michael, so it's good that you're around to help me remember my son's other grandparents. But my point was that they are fine. Let's enjoy this day".

"You're right. We should go to the grille for lunch. They used to have this caprese steak Caesar salad that I loved. I'm sure they don't have it anymore but they always had such great food", Keesha said.

"Yeah and even better desserts", Carly chimed in.

"Oh, the cheesecake there was delightful. Let's go, I can already feel the pounds packing back on my body".

The two women left the spa and headed to Carly's Cadillac. At the end of the day, the two women had spent massive amounts of their husband's money on lunch at the grille, the spa and shopping at the most upscale boutiques.

"Next week", Carly started "We will have to go into New York and hit some of the shops there. Ohh oh, maybe this summer we can take the kids to Europe, that would be a lot of fun. We've never taken Michael and Morgan".

Keesha could only laugh. "Carly, lets take this one day at a time, ok? Let's get through today and when we wake up tomorrow morning, we'll deal with that day then".

Jason's Penthouse

"What have we found out, Spinelli?" Jason asked.

"How close are you to this Mrs. Livingstone?" Spinelli asked sheepishly.

"Spinelli, I ask the questions here, tell me what you found?"

"It seems that Mr. Livingstone wasn't a fan of monogamy", Spinelli said.

"What? Spinelli, don't tell me…" Jason faded away.

"I found at least two mistresses in that snake's past. There is one in Tempi, Arizona and another in New York City. It seems that the unworthy Mr. Livingstone had bought each conquest a house and was paying their monthly bills. He has offices in both places and it is possible that whatever Mob lord Mariucci is looking for could be located in either one of those places. Unfortunately, Lord Livingstone had properties in various countries. He has bank accounts and deposit boxes in banks located all over the world. The information, whatever it might be, could be located in any number of places".

Jason heard what was said, but his mind was still focusing on the fact that Keesha's husband had kept mistresses all over the country. And Keesha's life was in danger because of a piece of scum like that. Jason would kill the man; if he weren't already dead. Jason's hands clenched and unclenched. He couldn't take this out on Mr. Daniel Livingstone but Christopher Mariucci will pay.
