Amanda
It was Friday morning already, yesterday my girls stayed with me and gave me their support. Emilie was upset that I didn’t reach out to either her or Amber that day, but she forgave me when I promise that I would not make the same mistake twice. Amber was very stern in pointing out that matter also. It was like they were ganging up on me, Angie was smiling wickedly while lounging and drinking her coffee.
“So, are we ready for this afternoon?” Dale was asking the little princess as she was finishing up on her breakfast. Her smile was so wide that it gives me warm feelings on the inside if only the issue with Troy was behind me already.
I was still worried about his threat, I couldn’t forgive myself if anything happens to any of them. Dale told me last night that Bruce would meet up with Ivan today, saying that Angelica had discussed this yesterday with him.
“So, this was what both of you whispering about?” I pouted at him. We had just arrived back at his place from dropping off Mable at school.
“You know you look sexier with that pout…” he pushed me to the sofa and kissed me. We were hot and heavy making out when there was a knock at his door.
“Damn it…” He groaned while getting up and adjusting his pants.
“Get your sexy ass to our bedroom and wait for me, I’ll be with you in a moment.” He pulled me up and pecked my cheek sweetly.
Hmmm… okay…
“That was Jack, so… where were we?” He said as he was back minutes later.
“Everything’s okay?” I asked worriedly.
“Yes baby, all good… just trust me okay? Now let me assure you some more…” he lowered himself down, and picked up where we left off moments before.
“… but, seriously… mmhh… every… thing… Dale baby oh god… so good…” my question remained unasked when he pleasured me over and over again. I was blurred by the feeling of being love tenderly and passionately by him.
Hours later we were on our way to Mable friend’s birthday party, I had never attended such gathering. Dale was by my side, helping me maneuver through the sea of little kids in their Prince and princess costumes.
“Dale, you came… and who’s this?” a brunette voluptuous woman, was looking a bit too friendly with Dale. I stood back and waited for him until he introduces me, but little Mable beat him to it.
“She’s Amanda, daddy’s girlfriend and she’s going to be my new mommy…” she grinned at her. While I tried to remain calm, knowing that I was blushing as the little princess was making her own conclusion. But Dale was rubbing my back like he was assuring me that Mable was not far off as he was not correcting her.
What the…
“Amanda darling, this is Clarice… Clarice this is Amanda, and my kid was not far off from her words…” he said as kissed my cheek, while little Mable kept on tugging my hand signaling me to follow her.
“Hi, Clarice… ” I held out my hand to her, trying to get the introduction over with and carry on to accompanying Mable. She shook my hand and give me one of those fake smiles, while I gave her mine also. We parted when Brittany finally greeted me and hugged me warmly.
The party was quite entertaining, as the kids were having the greatest time. Hours later some of the guests had gone home, we were still talking to Brittany when Bruce showed his face. Then Dale excused himself, I was grasping his hand as my heart pounded a hundred times faster. My eyes quickly scanned the room, and call Mable to my side. She came instantly and flung herself to me.
“Hey princess, do you mind hanging with me while daddy is talking to his friend?” I kissed her hair and hugged her a bit too tight.
“Okay… is everything okay?” the little Rapunzel smiled at me, while she leaned herself to me.
“Eh… yeah? is everything okay… you look pale Amanda? do you want me to get you something to drink?” Brittany was seeing right through me.
“I’m good, just… that was Dale’s friend. I’m just worried something might not be. I mean not Bruce, he’s one of the good guys…” I signaled to Brittany while looking at Mable. She nodded, understood that I didn’t want to discuss it in front of Mable. Then she talked about everything else, as she tries to make me feel less worried. I sighed when Dale finally entered the room, with Bruce.
“Uncle Bruce!!!” Mable ran up to him as he picked her up expertly and twirled her high in the air, making her laughed her heart out.
“Hey kid… how’s my favorite princess?” he smiled at her playfully, while she starts grabbing his hand and guided him to us. He was taking all the attention of the moms that were still there, as they started whispering. While Brittany shoved her elbow to me, signaling that Dale had just been replaced. I finally laughed with her, while Dale was looking at us questionably.
“Hey there Amanda…” Bruce greeted me as I smiled back at him, Dale was by my side as she said that everything was good, very good.
“Uncle Bruce, this Katie’s mom this is her party, aunt Amanda… can I get back to the party now?”
“Yes baby, just stay where I can see you yes?” I said to her while looking at Bruce, still not sure of the situation just yet. But then calmed down as Bruce nodded his head at me, assuring me that everything was good as Dale said to me just now.
“So, sorry about barging in on your party, but Dale wasn’t picking up his phone.” He looked a little bit amazed by her, spending years chasing guys with my girls I know how a guy looks when he was interested in one of your friend. And from my experience, I knew that Bruce was definitely lusting for her, not that I could blame him Brittany’s gorgeous.
I shoved Dale, as he was looking a bit oblivious with their attraction. Then he smirked when he saw his buddy was standing a bit too straight, looking like he was about to drool in front of Brittany.
“Erm… yeah… it’s okay.” Brittany finally let her voice out.
Okay then… awkward…
“Come, let’s get these two kids to straighten out their kinks and let me fill you in what Bruce said to me earlier,” Dale whispered his words making me smile wickedly at him.
“Bruce… would you mind filling my seat? I’m just going to get something to drink.” I said to him while winking at Brittany. She was squinting her eyes at me, giving me her stink eye obviously knew what my intention was.
Bruce was still a bit not sure when Dale slapped his back and told him to take my seat next to her. But he seated there anyway, they were awkward at first but we did hear her laughter when we were few steps away from them.
“So… you’re being cupid now?” he asked as he rests his hand on my waist, while we were drinking and watching the kids getting their faces painted. I smiled at him, but then asked the question that had been in my mind since the moment Bruce was taking Dale for a private talk outside.
“Bruce had regrouped with Ivan, he was upset when he found out who he actually was…” he looked at me, knowing that I had known all along who Angelica was getting herself involved with. The Mob.
“We will talk about Ivan and his so-called friends later, but the point was that they certainly played their card and cornered your ex sooner. They had him captive and waiting for further instruction. And they wanted to hear from you exactly, what you wanted to be done with him.”
Dale looked at me, his eyes were studying me intently as he waited for my answer.
