chapter 59

“Bye mom, don’t forget I have dance practice tonight, so don’t wait up for diner,” Kaylee says getting out the door with Alex to get to school.

Yesterday has been an amazing day. I never imagined Mathieu being so nice and caring toward Kaylee so quickly and easily. It makes me feel much more secure and happy for giving him a second chance. I would probably kick him to the curb if Kaylee didn’t get along with him. I will never ever put a man before my daughter. That’s for sure.

“So, tell me, how good is he?” Sandy asked, taking a sip of her coffee. Feeling my cheeks heat up, I turn around to make my lunch for work.

“Oh, come on! You know you want to talk about it! Let’s go, spill all the details!” She pries, wiggling her eyebrows at me in a suggestive manner.

Turning back around to face her, I exhale deeply.

“Fine, ok. You’re right! I do want to talk about it.” I say, rushing to sit in front of her and gossip like 2 teenagers.

“So, we didn’t actually have sex, but gosh, did he ever make me feel like a woman. I haven’t felt like this in so long. It was amazing. He can do and twist his tongue in ways I didn’t know was possible!” I say. Still red with a little embarrassment talking about Mathieu to Sandy like this.

“Wow! And what do you do to him?” She asks, making me become even redder if that possible.

“I... I didn’t do anything to him except kiss him. After he was done, or rather after I came, he snuggles up behind me and we fell asleep.” I tell her, taking a sip of my Ice Cap.

She looks at me as if I grew 2 heads.

“You mean to tell me, he took care of you and your needs, but didn’t ask you to do the same? AND he cuddled?! Are you kidding me?!” She says sitting up straight in her chair.

“I am not kidding you. He’s coming back tonight for diner. Since Kaylee’s not going to be here, we might get into some more trouble.” I say smirking a little to myself.

“Well. Are you going to take out that little outfit Lanie and I got you a little while back?” She asks, giving me a knowing look.

Remembering that night, a few months ago, I start laughing.

Flashback

“I don’t feel like going guys,” I tell Sandy and Lanie still curled up in my oversized PJ.

“No, you are not staying in your bed all day today! If you don’t get up in the next 5 seconds, we will both jump on you until you get out of your bed!” Sandy says, looking at me, daring me to stay in tucked in.

Looking from her to Lanie, I’m about to refuse again, when they give each other a nod and jump on top of me, screaming.

“Get your lazy ass out of bed, or I’ll push you! Don’t make me do it, you know I will!” She says again.

Getting out of bed and away from them, I get my disheveled hair out of my face and look at them with a murderous look.

“I hate you both!” I say angrily.

“Yeah, yeah, I know you love me. Now get dressed. We’re leaving in 5 minutes.” Lanie says, rolling her eyes.

Turning around, I stomp my feet and walk toward my closet. Getting out a simple black t-shirt and a dark high waist jeans, I take off my PJ and get dressed in a flash. I grab a hair tie from my dresses and make a loose messy bun on the top of my head.

“I’m ready now, let’s go,” I say, still sulking.

“Oh, come on, you know we’re going to have fun. You need to start getting out a little more. We miss you.” Sandy says, looking at me with a more serious look that makes my heart tighten.

Feeling less angry and a bit guilty now, I take in a deep breath.

“I know, I’m sorry. I just don’t want my negativity to bring you down.” I tell them.

“We know. You don’t have to apologize. Not to us. We know you're dealing with a lot, but we do miss you. So, let’s get some coffee and get some shopping done!” Sandy says excitedly.

Smiling, we head out the door. Since Kaylee’s at a friend for a sleepover since last night, which is the reason I was still in bed at 9:30 am, I don’t have to worry about leaving her alone.

Getting some much-needed caffeine before arriving at the mall, we head to our favorite little boutique.

They managed to get me to try on a mountain of clothing. I was all for it until they dragged me to the lingerie store.

“I don’t need anything here. I have plenty of bras and panties, thank you very much.” I say trying to get out of there.

“But look at his! It’s so cute. It’s low cut, lacy, and see-through! Plus, it's red! You cannot say no to this!” Sandy says excitedly.

“And look, there are even the matching booty shorts!” Lanie chips in.

“I don’t need lingerie! When would I have the occasion to wear something like this anyway?!” I question.

“Oh, come on! You never know what can happen! It’s too cute to leave here!” Sandy says, looking like a 3-year-old kid.

Shaking my head, they both run-ups to the cash register and actually buy the teeny tiny sexy lingerie.

End of flashback

“What are you smirking like that about?” Sandy asks.

“I think I might take it out. I never thought it would ever get used.” I say still smirking, thinking of tonight’s possibilities. Yesterday’s satisfaction has awoken a dirty little demon in me.

Sandy starts squealing in excitement!

“Ok, pipe it down, woman! You’re going to make me deaf, and I won’t be able to hear him…Never mind” I say, getting up and grabbing my lunch and purses.

“Let’s get to work and get this day done and over with!”
