April 3: Dallas: Breakfast
I called Samuels; find out where Griffin is staying. They have a house outside the city; I arrange to take Fred, Sam there for breakfast. Samuels notifies the housekeeper, but not Griffin. Getting up early I hustle the girls out and into a car for a special breakfast at a B&B Texas ranch. Arriving it looks more like an antebellum mansion than a ranch. Sam is suspicious but Fred is too deep in thought, I suspect Griffin on her mind. The house keeper opens the door, a see us into the breakfast bar where Davida and Max are slurping cereal. They start to squeal but I shush them. Sam knows the Game.
Fred is just about to get it when Griffin walks in bare chest wearing only sweat pant soaked from a run. Fred eye lock and she goes into overheat. Like two planets in a death spiral moving closer and closer, they embrace and kiss. Till both realize its real and they have an audience.
We break out in cheers and hoots. The kids jump up and down. Sam grabs my face and kisses me hard, "you scoundrel."
Fred refuses to let go of Griffin, he's trying to be mad, but having Fred in contact short circuit his reason and emotions. She licks his check, "I was promised food, feed me Griffin!" food is served and we all get to joke and laughter and goofiness'.
I slide three NDA across the kitchen bar "sign these to reach a path of happiness, worries and pink spangled tutus." Sam smacks my ass. Fred glares menacingly. Everyone else is confused. Max and Davida sign quickly. Griffin thinks till Fred puts her tongue in his ear.
Once sign, I collect and say whispering "you have all join the secret society of poor relation and second class citizen in the wonderful world of the BAND. All hail the girlfriend, sister and generally pain in the butt women of the HEAVY R universe. Griffin may I present my girlfriend Sam Morgan better known as RED Widow. And your new probationary girlfriend Fred Freda, commonly referred to as guitar goddess, Harem girl!"
He looks stunned, heart attack stunned, eyes roll to the top of his head, I think he going to faint. Fred look concerned, but he come back, grabbing her kissing her and carrying her out of the room.
The kids erupt in cheers and question. They are so looking to see and be in the show. Max runs get his tablet and you tube the last show. We point out who's who. Davida is in Sam arms as they watch Harrison in his tutu. The laughter and joy is infecting. Samuels comes bye see the happiness and leave smiling, happy. Max is planning his persona, and we hear the familiar scream and angry from above followed by laughter and loud meow of cat Freda.
Sam and I return to the hotel, Fred and Griffin and family is bonding. Dad and Mom are happy. Freddy not so till I put him is a car to go spend time with his new extended family. Taylor returns looking tired but stated. Dad and him confrere for more than an hour. Mom is mad they won't let her in. We're about to leave for dinner with Ros and gang before they leave for home. Sam goes pale and turns and sprint back thru the hotel, I chase while Dad and Mom turn to face the threat. Max is right behind me as we just make into the elevator, Sam curls into a fetal ball, I pick her up, she whimpering and crying. I hold her tight and we go to my room.
Laying her on the bed, I start to tell Max to leave, he whispers "that was her mother downstairs" and leaves locking the door. I strip Sam of cloth, remove mine and cuddle her skin to skin till she falls asleep. I have no idea of time, or what happening. But I know Sam is all I need, and I will give her everything I have, love, caring, compassion, my soul.
Dawn breaks sunny and bright. Sam rises and we shower slowly sensual, never loosing contact, never missing a look. Dressed we make our way down to the dining room. Mom is waiting, she looks tired. "Sam, how are you honey?"
"I'm better; I was shocked and scared to see her."
"I know honey; she's gone, left last night for New York, Bills waiting for her. She won't contact you ever again. She is a shallow spiteful woman who doesn't deserve a daughter like you. She tried to tell what happen to you. But we shut her up; the military had a talk with her. She knows never to speak of that time ever again. We Christian and I know what happened, it was not your fault, and you did what you had to do to survive. If you choose to tell Teddy. Or us that fine. But nothing you tell us will make us love you less or give you up. We are your family, the band, Griffin. We are your family, I look forward to having you and Teddy give me grandkids." Mom tells her
"Why did she show up now?" Sam asks afraid of the answer
"Samantha Lancer paid her to come here. A fuck you up mental before the Will fight today. Dad says
"Well she did not succeed. I have Teddy, family, band, I will never be alone again. I will always have Teddy love to hold me together. I will not be a victim again. Anna I love you. I wish you were my mom instead of her."
"Sam I love you, but I'm happy not to be your mom, because now I get to be your mother-in-law, hate me I dare you." mom tease her
"My evil mother-in-law Anna Grey, no doesn't work. The Kind, caring, smart sexy steampunk Librarian Anna works better. Do you think you can get Christian into the tutu? Teddy and Father in matching tutus. Priceless" They resolve into laughs and giggles. I smile anything to see DAD in a tutu.
