Her Security ( The complete Security series)

Black hole

MORGAN

Four days since Damiana and I got married, I always take the day off on this day so I can just lay in bed and drink myself to oblivion while watching the notebook. But unfortunately I have to babysit the Princess and her stupid schedule.

I sigh as I watch her work on some beat up old truck

" Why do you do this Dami?"

She turns to me

" Idol hands are the devil's plaything, besides gives me an excuse to get dirty just to make something beautiful again"

" I don't get it"

She smiles

" Watch"

She walks to the driver's side and starts the truck it sounds brand new, she revs it and it makes a purr. Then she shuts it off

" See she sound great right?"

I nod

" I guess so yeah"

She walks up to me and leans her head close to mine resting her hands on my legs.

" What's going on in that big head of your's Mo?"

" Nothing Dami, Mind your Business and I mind mine"

She laughs

" You really don't know me at all do you?"

I look in her eyes our faces inches apart

" Meaning what?"

She kisses me the brat actually kisses me. I grab her waist and pull her on my lap she giggles and we continue our kiss. She finally pulls away.

" Meaning I'm nosey, and I won't stop pestering you still you tell me"

" If this is pestering me pester away Dami"

She grabs my lips again and doesn't let up.

" Okay, okay Damiana you win, Today is the anniversary of my little brothers death. I usually just shut out the world today."

She smiles jumping off of me

" See wasn't hard, what do you usually do today?"

" Drink, a lot and watch cheesy movies?"

" Unless one of them is the notebook your not doing it right"

I laugh

" It is actually"

She nods

" Well good, let's skip the rest of the schedule and go do that well you drink I will just watch the movies with you"

I sigh

" We can't Dami contract"

"Mom said I get 2 cheat days a month, consider this a cheat day boss come on get your barbarian as$ up"

I roll my eyes getting up and she smiles again

" Good boy, I'm gonna go get cleaned up be right back"

She walks off and I head to my truck getting in. When I was 16 I was driving my dad's old truck. My little brother was sitting in the passenger seat playing with the radio. Bright lights started flashing at us over and over set after set. It made my vision go black and I lost control of the truck. I crashed into the river, by the time I could see we where drowning. I got us both out of the truck, but my brother died on the way to the hospital. Turns out it was a bunch of highschool kids that got drunk and did it as a prank. We weren't the only ones that got hurt that night but Maddox is the only one that died. I blame myself for not getting him out in time. This is the hardest day of the year for me, the rest of the time I am able to keep myself from that black hole but not today.

Damiana jumps in the passenger seat and buckles up I pull off from the auto shop she works at and head home. She goes to the kitchen and I make my way to my office grabbing my scotch. I grab my open bottle and a new one and head upstairs. Dami comes in with popcorn and snacks on a tray. She sits down and I take a drink of my scotch turning on the notebook then reaching over and grabbing some popcorn.

She slaps my hand

" Um, owe brat"

" You have your alcohol, and you are so not puking popcorn up on the floor"

" Relax Dami I know how to drink"

She scoffs

" Right, and I know how to stay out of trouble"

I roll my eyes and grab the popcorn bowl, truth is I really don't drink only when I am stressed and today. But I have never puked before, so why should today be any different.

DAMIANA

Mr. I know how to drink made it through two movies and about a bottle of scotch before he started ralphing the popcorn I told him not to eat. I help him back to bed from the toilet.

" You push someting in the popchorn"

I laugh

" Shure I did go to sleep you damn Barbarian"

He grabs my waist

" Let go Morgan"

" Kish me"

I laugh again

" No your breath stinks get off of me"

He lets go and rolls over passing out, I roll my eyes and take my dishes to the kitchen. I don't blame him, I know death anniversaries can be hard. Hell the one that haunts me is my own birthday. I didn't even know the man, I wonder how old Morgan was and how old his brother was.

I start washing my dishes and my parents come in the kitchen. Mom smiles

" Oh hey baby your back early"

"Um yeah took a cheat day"

" Already?"

" Yeah, Mom do you know why Morgan usually takes today off of all days of the year?"

" Um, yeah some special family thing or something."

" Right"

I turn to my dad

" That offer to see is employee file still on the table?"

He nods

" I will grab it for you Princess"

I smile

" Thanks daddy, could you just bring it to me in the study?"

Mom: " Where is Morgan anyways?"

" We where watching a movie and he fell asleep, I'm sure he will be up later."

Doubtful but she doesn't need to know that.

" Awe you two are getting along yay"

" Right, don't worry about dinner when Morgan wakes up we are going to finish our marathon so I will order pizza."

" Okay hunny, whatever you say"

I love my mom I do but sometimes she is oblivious and way too perky.

I walk off and head to the study drawing in my notebook, my dad comes in about 30 minutes later and sits in the chair Infront of the desk.

" So is he drunk?"

I laugh

" F*cking plastered"

"Your mom is popping you with a drug test tomorrow will you pass?"

I nod

" I'm good dad haven't taken anything not prescribed, but if I did I have my reasons."

He nods

" Until you can suck it up and tell us those reasons Damiana we have to do this."

" You wouldn't understand trust me"

He slides the file across the desk

" Hope that answers whatever questions your asking yourself about Morgan"

I nod and grab the file flipping through it. I finally find it, a car crash. it punctured one of his lungs from impact and killed him on the way to the hospital, he was 12. Damn does Morgan blame himself because he was driving? I keep that question to myself for a different day.

I order a pizza and go upstairs to my room eating it and finishing my movie. Then laying down and going to sleep, hopefully this contract is up when I open my eyes.
