I’m awakened by a rather calm Amory walking into the room I’m asleep in, “mi Amor” (my love)? She walks all the way to the bed with Stephany in her hands as I sit up. “YaYa, my iPad is missing”, Stephany whines. I reached across the bed to where I had charged it, and handed it to her, instantly turning her whining into a giggle. When I get out of the bed, I throw some shorts on and take Stephany from her, but Spencer is standing just outside the room when we walk out. Fucking guy is always hovering! We all walk down to the kitchen, and that’s when she tells me that Spencer is taking her and Stephany to breakfast! That’s his funeral. Better for me at this point! Spencer takes Stephany and storms out of the kitchen, after she does her whole blowing me goodbye kisses routine. Jealous much?! But it leaves Amory and I alone in the room! I wrap her in my arms and kiss her slowly and gently until she wraps her arms around my neck, pulling me further into the kiss. Of course,
I’m surprised that Spencer and Amory are already up as I make my way to the kitchen in time to hear him ask her, “why do you eat that every day”? From the doorway, I see Amory is sitting on the island countertop with Spencer in front of her. He has his arms resting on her thighs and his hands clasped together behind her back. She shrugs before saying, “tastes good. I haven’t been able to stomach guacamole since I was pregnant, but this still tastes good”! “Why, since you were pregnant?”, he asks. “Because she ate it by the bowlful. She ate so much of it, she started to smell like cilantro and lime juice”, I state. Amory turns her body enough to look at me in the doorway still as she laughs. “Your mom’s guacamole was amazing though”, she says. I just have to roll my eyes. My mother literally made it for her every day, “she was just happy to have someone eat all the vegetables. If she could have permanently moved you into my old bedroom, she would have”!
I wake up exhausted as I get dressed and head for the coffee pot. Spencer lazily stumbles out into the kitchen, pours coffee into a mug, and drinks it just like that. Blah, grossed out just watching! Then I hear what sounds like someone slamming the back entrance shut and making their way up the stairs. I pull my gun nervously from my jeans and turn to Spencer, “expecting anyone”? He shakes his head no, so I quickly peek my head around the doorway as the back door opens. I specifically remember locking it when we came in last night! “Lala?” Maxine says from down the hallway.“Still asleep Maxine”, I tell her as I sigh with relief before putting my gun away. Spencer looks at me like I’m crazy. “They never show up unannounced”, I whispered, before stepping out into the hallway.Maxine immediately hugs me as Kevin is now walking in through the back door. Obviously, Spencer had stepped out into the hallway too, because Kevin said, “what’s going on here”?“It would
Watermelon… Cucumber… Cantelope… Wet pennies… No, that’s blood! Amory rubs her face into my chest as she lays asleep in my arms, but she’s already begun to bleed. When she inhales deeply and sighs, I kiss her down her neck until she moans. “Mmmm, mi Amor”, (my love) I said in my sleepy state. “No quiero dejarte ir, pero huelo sangre”, (I don’t want to let you go, but I smell blood) I told her, making her jump. “Blood?”, she suddenly gasps and squirms in my hold as I start to laugh. “My period, Jonny let me go”! “Mi Amor, I don’t care!”, (my love) I tell her as I pull her on top of me for a kiss. “I do! Now let me use the bathroom”, she says when our lips part, making me laugh as I let her go. “Jonny, change the sheets and your shirt… I’ll buy you a new one”, she says as she leaves the room quickly. I just shook my head before climbing out of the bed and striping the sheets off. I toss the bed sheets into the washing machine, completely ignoring Spencer
I wake up with Amory’s dress wrapped around my face, saturated in her melon scent. I miss her being in my arms. After everything lately, it just doesn’t feel right to not have her there. I dress and head to the kitchen for my daily caffeine fix, and pass Spencer and Meme, who are having a quiet conversation about his date plans tonight with Amory.“YaYa”, Stephany squeals as soon as she spots me. This little girl brightens my day.“Hey, princess. Why are you up so early?” I asked her.“Meme snorts”, she says, making us all laugh. Spencer continues to hug and kiss on her until he has to get ready for work.“Don’t worry Spin, I’ll have Lala ready and I won’t call Mikey until after nine, okay?” Meme promises him as he heads toward the door.I set Stephany up with her breakfast, then went to check on Amory who was lying asleep in her bed looking really pale. Meme walks in as I’m slipping the blood pressure monitor onto her wrist, then the oximeter onto her finger. “W
I wake up with Amory snuggled up in my arms and kissed her lips even though she’s asleep, but I’m more then sure subconsciously she knows I’m here. She rubs her face into my chest and sighs before quietly whimpering out my name! I gave her one last peck before slipping out of the bed and heading back to the guest bedroom. That was the best sleep I’ve had in days!When I’m dressed, I head to the coffee pot. Spencer comes out a few minutes later and gulps down a mug of black coffee, blahck it’s still gross to watch! He doesn’t say a word as he leaves! Meme and Stephany eventually join me before Amory finally gets up.She stretches and says, “that was the best sleep I’ve had in a while”.“Jonny should sneak in more often then”, Meme blurts out, making me choke into my coffee. Amory looked at me as I stared at Meme in shock. “What? I went to climb in bed with my bestie when her daughter’s snoring woke me up last night, but you were already there”!Amory shakes her h
I’m startled awake by Amory rubbing the side of my face. “Mi Amor?”, (my love) I say to her, worried that something is wrong since she’s up so early. “Can you come with me?”, she asks quietly and I nod my head. She backs up so I can turn out of the bed and slide my shorts back on. “We’re leaving, let Melanie know and meet me in the garage”! She leaves the room without even looking back. I shake my head as I put my sneakers on and grab my phone from the charger. I slip into the room Melanie is in, and call out to her from the door, “Mel”? “Jay?”, she says from the bed. “Amory and I are leaving. Keep an eye on Gabby, okay?” I told her. “Okay”, she says before dropping her head back down. I shut the door quietly and headed to the garage. I get into the driver’s seat of Amory’s pink Lamborghini and as she hands me the keys I say, “game plan”? “Starting at square one, take me to the colonial”, she says. I just nodded before opening the garage door
I’m again awoken by Amory as she climbs into the bed with me breathing erratically. “Mi Amor”, (my love) I tell her as I pull her hands from her face. She’s in full-on panic attack mode and clearly struggling to breathe. I climbed out of the bed and threw my clothes on, before leading her back to her room to dress her. Amory has tears streaming down her face as she pulls at her own hair. I find myself literally dressing her a piece of clothing at a time, as she even struggles to wiggle into her panties, I’m pulling up her legs. Once she’s dressed, I take her down to the kitchen and sit her on the table with her feet on the chair so she can rest her elbows on her knees and hold her head up. I then search through the cabinets to find something more denser than her usual breakfast and thankfully find plain oatmeal. I heat up the hot water and soak the oats while I cut up two peaches. I mix it all together with honey and sit on the seat wedged between her legs and place h
Never in a million years nor in my wildest dreams would I have imagined my life would end up like this… That accepting a job offer from my father’s shady-ass narc would have led to me being married to the woman of my dreams, with a daughter and son. I know Stephany isn’t mine by blood, but she’s mine in every way that counts, right down to the last name. When we returned to court in November, I petitioned the judge to let me adopt Stephany. “Your honor, I know this is sudden”, I tell the judge as I walk over to the defendant's table. Amory looks at me like I’ve lost my mind. “In lieu of Mr. Hart’s passing, I’d like to petition the court to adopt and be named the legal father of Stephany”. “What are you doing, Jonny?” Amory squeals out as the courtroom erupts into loud gasps. “Mr. Knight, you do understand that includes taking financial responsibility for the child in addition to legal responsibility right?”, the judge asks. I nod, ”yes your honor. I do and I
Amory’s period is a day late and the funny shit is she doesn’t even notice, and if she does she’s keeping it to herself. However, she does emphasize to me how tired she feels, so on Friday night when she wants to go down to the club I’m surprised. I know better than to tell her no though, but I do convince her to wear shoes with a smaller heel. Melanie sits with Stephany like she used to, while Amory and I head down to the club and right onto the dance floor. The staff move around us and clearly are working to impress her during this surprise drop-in, but she’s only here to have fun!Some of the regular patrons who have noticed our absence from the club approach us, particularly those who attend the karaoke nights. That crazed woman who used to try feeling up on me all of the time is here, but she keeps her distance. Likely since Amory clings to my chest while in my arms, or maybe because we’ve openly made out on the dance floor tonight, or it could be the picture of us kis
I wake up in the bed of my Brooklyn apartment wrapped in Jonny’s arms, and if we weren’t both completely naked I’d almost be inclined to believe that the last few months of my life were just some really bad dream. I called Spin last night and plead with him for space, and after promising to return to the lake house by Saturday he reluctantly agreed. I feel sick, although I don’t admit this to Jonny. Instead, I emphasize that my feet hurt, my back hurts, my boobs hurt, my butt even hurts, and I’m just tired beyond exhaustion. He does what he can to comfort me, but I know the stress of my situation is starting to become daunting to all of us involved. I’m bored to death with Jonny’s constant babying of me and when I suggest going down to the club for our last night here in Brooklyn, he agrees yet straight up tries to dress me! Eventually, I get my way, however, I do swap the shoe suggestion for the shorter wedged heels he chose from the stilettos I originally picked. Jo
Loyalty and Stephany spend one night with Jonny at his mother’s house before returning to her Brooklyn apartment. She calls me and pleads with me for space, and we agree that she’ll return to the lake house with our daughter on Saturday. Each day becomes more and more miserable without them, and by Friday I’m losing my fucking mind!So, pardon my shock when Jonny calls me and I send it to voicemail the first three times before actually answering, “what”?“Amory is missing”, he practically whispers.“What the fuck did you just say?” I growl out.“Amory is missing”, he screams into the phone. “I need you to get down here. The police want to have a word with you”!“Where’s my fucking daughter, Jonny?” I bark out frantically.He sighs, “she’s fine! She’s upstairs in the apartment. How long until you get here Spin”?“An hour”, I tell him before hanging up. I dial Gabe and he bolts down the stairs like a flash of lightning and we’re out of the door within

I am understandably pissed the fuck off since Amory’s last date with Spencer. She brings me out to the spot by the lake we’d snuck off to a few times, only to tell me they had sex the night before. I’m disgusted, but the fact that she admits to being somewhat drunk when it happened really bothers me… Like he took advantage of her and she doesn’t even acknowledge that part! After three days of me silently hovering around her, she reaches her breaking point and corners me in the kitchen. I suggest we put some distance between us and Spencer, and she immediately agrees. So it’s our first visit back to my mother’s since we’ve made the move upstate! Amory is fatigued from just the ride down and is asleep when we arrive. I carry her to our bedroom and let her nap it off a little, while I tend to Stephany. After getting my princess settled with my niece in the living room, I head to the kitchen to sit with my mother as she cooks, making sure I can see my princess from where
This morning I hear Amory vomiting from her bathroom since her bedroom door has been left open. She’s due to appear in court today and her anxiety is simply sweltering over. As if Stephany can sense her mother’s tension, she clings to me like a leech unless in her car seat. She won’t even allow her mother to carry her, clearly, she is still my princess even with Spencer in her life! Rich and I leave our guns in my car before we walk into the same courthouse as the last time. Amory looks pale, and she is visibly shaken as her case is called forward. We’re all directed to the plaintiff's stand as Spencer is directed to the defendant's stand. Neither one of them has looked at each other since we’ve left the lake house! When the judge walks to the bench she says, “Ms. Williams, nice to finally meet you! Please explain to me what on Earth is going on here and why this divorce case now has a paternity request attached to it”. Amory inhales sharply then says, “yes, your
The sun is beaming in my face, but I’m so cozy as the hammock swings gently in the morning breeze. Amory is still asleep in my arms while I rub her back. She sighs before she rubs her face into my chest and inhales deeply. This is like her signal she’s about to wake up but it still makes me laugh, even after three years because it’s just that cute! My phone vibrates in my pocket disturbing her, as I wedge my hand between the two of us to grab it. It’s a message from Charlene who rarely ever texts me. She’s looking for Amory and says she’s been trying to reach her since Friday. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Amory’s phone at all this weekend! “Amory, where’s your phone?” I ask her. She shrugs before she says, “in my room probably. Why”? “Charlene has been tryna reach you”, I tell her but she just sighs lazily. “She wants an approval to do a duet theme night for karaoke this week”. “Like couples karaoke?”, she questions, and I nod at her. “I guess th
I wake up when what feels like a warm tongue is licking from my neck to my lips, and ends with a soft peck. I open my eyes as I release a moan, Amory is trying to stifle her laughter. I pull her down on top of me but she brings her finger to her lips urging me to be quiet. I finally look around the room to see we are still in the lake house living room with everyone asleep around us. Amory climbs off of me and pulls me to follow her off the sofa. We walk quietly out of the front door before she tosses my car keys to me. Obviously, she has something planned, she’s never up this early in the morning! She has me drive a short distance down the road before pulling back off of it, and onto a dirt path that leads down to the waterfront where I park. When she gets out of the car, she starts stripping down before climbing into the water in her underwear. Once she resurfaces I look at her confused, “what are you doing, mi Amor” (mi love)? “Waiting for you to come ravish m
