FUSE

“Victor answer your phone we are going to be home in a couple hours. You will come over for dinner tonight.” I heard my mothers voice on my voicemail and I smiled before hitting her number to call back. It took a few rings but then she was loud, proud, and talking my ear off. But I had news too.

”Mama, I have good news. Make food for four tonight.” I told her and she screeched and squaked at my dad to drive faster, that she needed to clean the house before I bought someone over and then the questions started.

”Who took your heart? Who do I get to meet mijo. I am so excited. I thought you would be single forever but I knew it! I knew you had too much love inside you to keep it locked away!” She was cheering and saying this is what she has been praying for and how much closer she is to getting grand babies now that I wanted to settle down. “Now… tell me where you met her and how old she is-“

”Mama… it’s Daisy.” I heard the silence and I smiled slowly. “She and I… she ended up single again.”

”You snatched her up!” I heard my father shout and laugh and my mom was whispering something before telling me they had to go.

“Whoa, wait. I tell you the biggest news and you need to go?”

”There is so much to do! Daisy is coming, your father needs to drive faster. Bring her over by 5- no 6! Oh my god! I have to call your cousin-“

”No you don’t there is nothing we need from Manny.” Manny, my cousin, was a priest and I could already tell what she was planning. f**k my life, but I was going to speed thru this relationship if my mom had her part in it. “We are moving slow. She was spooked by this last relationship.” I told my mother slowly so she could calm down and understand.

”Ok… ok. Just bring her for dinner and we can you both together at last.” I heard the tension in my mothers voice. She was going to go behind my back if she needed to but I would make sure it would all be stopped before it got too far.

I let them go and looked at the time. It was only 11 now so I had time to either prep my woman or let her think we would just be going out. Knowing how she is around my parents I decided it would be best not to tell her. She was always trying to scurry away so she didn’t ‘bother’ us in school so I knew she would act the same way now so I wouldn’t let her.

I have a date night planned for us tonight. Starts at 6.. I’ll swing by on the bike

I couldn’t wait. This was all years in the making and my parents excitement proved that… now I just had to wait.

But today was my day off and I had a few things to do besides this date. I made sure to stop by Tank’s office and I saw him and Rowdy talking about some farm he wanted to sell so I knocked to get their attention.

”What’s up Fuse?” Tank sat back and Rowdy stood up straight and they both waited.

“I need to talk to Fiona.” I saw the way his eye twitched, his first reaction probably similar with my own when it came to talks. “Nothing bad. I gotta thank her.” I didn’t want to but it was needed.

”She’s due here for lunch.” He told me and I nodded. “This about Daisy?”

”Yeah… and I gotta tell her what Daisy told me because it’s weird.” I didn’t want to tell everyone but it had nothing to do with my woman and her abilities… it was all about the doctor Fiona set her up with.

I got set up with my laundry waiting and then I heard a girly giggle and turned only to see Whiz and Sabbie walking in and I smiled knowing that they were the catalyst for someone of us. I didn’t want to keep seeing them happy together and not have my own slice of happiness. I caved and caved hard and brought my girl into our danger and I would do what all the other men would do here… provide, protect, and love. Anything that needs to be done will be.

”Sabbie!” I knew I needed to thank her or say something along the lines of a thank you because she tried for so long to get me to ask Daisy out.

”Hello there Romeo. Where is thou Juliette?” She asked and I smiled and rolled my eyes.

”Work. Even with reduced hours she works all day.” I told her and I took a deep breath. “My parents are going to be in town tonight… probably for a couple weeks. It’s a good idea to take her over right?” I asked and she went from happy go lucky to buffering. “My mom loves her, my dad has been like all of you.. telling me to go for her. It won’t be bad if I surprise her right?” I heard Whiz laugh and when I looked at him he held his hands.

”You’re asking the two that don’t have parents… good parents. I think…” He paused and looked around before taking a longer moment before lowering his voice enough it didn’t leave our group. “You’re the only person I know who has parents still together, who love you and love each other and they didn’t f**k up your life.”

”Rowdy-“ I paused knowing his parents were good but they’re gone… just like the rest of his family.

”Slice still has his mom and sister but he never really had a dad. Everyone else had shitty upbringings. I think you taking her to your mom and dads is a good thing. She will have a ‘I don’t want to go’ attitude.” He laughed a little as he looked at Sabbie before looking at me. “But it’s what’s good for her and you. She is going to gain your family.” Whiz told me honestly and that helped relax me. She was just getting a good family by joining me. She wasn't going to get ou t of it or avoid them while she was with me and the sooner she saw they loved her like I did then the sooner she would accept them.

”I heard you wanted to thank me!” I heard Fiona and looked behind Sabbie’s head to see her skipping towards us with a huge smile.

”I need to talk to you yeah…” I paused and looked at Sabbie and then Whiz. “Sorry, it kind of is a girls thing.” I told him and he nodded slowly and gave Sabbie a kiss and an ass slap before walking off and telling her to meet him in his office when she was done.

”Ring shopping?” Fiona guessed and I shook my head and then her a Sabbie went back and forth about how I should get her something and it was always something I knew she had to didn’t want or she wouldn’t accept so I raised my hand until they looked at me. “Sorry.”

”Your doctor guy?” I asked and Fiona went a little wide eyed.

”I won’t give you his business or home address.” She declared and I rolled my eyes. “He just went out with her-“

”Not about me hurting him.” I used too much emphasis and I knew it the moment Fiona turned a little red and seemed pissed. “He apparently doens’t make sure his girls are turned on at all before doing anything and he has made DAisy feel ‘different’ so much so she was holding out on me because she thought she just didn’t like s*x. I think he needs a How to achieve the female orgasm FOR MEN book for his next birthday.” I told her and then my next thing came up… as a man this wasn’t my place… but I knew from having a very involved mother that things were important. “I need you to discuss in your woman ways what Daisy might not know she needs to do. She didn’t have a good mom. She works her ass off. I think she did well in school but it doens’t teach anything-“

”Spit it out.” Sabbie slapped my arm and I sighed.

”I don’t think she has ever got to any lady doctor. Not that i think she has anything and needs to be tested, but some things she has said gets me worried. She doesn’t know we can have s*x on her period. She didn’t know I could start her period by having sex... i just worry she doesn’t have all the knowledge lots of women know.” I told them and they both seemed to think without talking.

”What if we plan a girls day?” Fiona asked and I nodded. That sounded good. I could get them to take my cash so she didn’t have to pay for anything too.

”I don’t know how she stands on birth control but maybe add that in as an option from you Fi?” I asked and she nodded like it was a done deal. “Thank you, both of you. My head is out of my ass and I have exactly what I always wanted.”

“Good. We all deserve love.” Sabbie was smiling wide and I nodded back to her. “We will plan it all.” She nodded at me and Fiona gave me a hug and told me I was a good man for worrying about all of these things for my woman.

I just hoped my girl was never embarrassed that I had to do this... hopefully she never finds out.

DAISY

“Come on.” He laughed and slid his hand down my arm and I tried to pull away again. I couldn’t go in there. I thought this was a date… not a ‘feed me to the wolves’ dinner.

“This is your parents place-“

“Yeah. They’re back in town for a week.” He told me and started to snake his arm around my waist before he pushed me up the stairs one step at a time.

“Your parents Vic. They-“

“Very happy to have us.”

“They know about us? No. Wait. I should just-“

“Come in.” I made a peep as I heard his mom and blushed red when she took us in and noticed he was forcing me in. “I made enchiladas con pollo with rice and beans.” She waved at us and Vic tugged me the last few steps before he picked me up by my hips and walked me in.

“Shoes off baby.” He set me down and went to lock and close the door and I could see his mom getting his dad and I stepped back a few times before I hit a wall and I saw Vic laugh lightly and shake his head. “You’ll be fine.”

“Yeah until they remember I’m trailer trash.” I hissed softly and he narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

“Shoes off baby… before I get down and take them off for you.” I panicked at the thought of him down on his knees, the fact that the made up image made me wet too… I kicked off my sneakers quickly, making him smirk.

“It’s so nice to come home and find my son happy. I remember you as a little girl. Vic used to love playing with all the kids in the neighborhood.” His mom has her hands clasped under her chin as she looked at us and I knew I was red from the eye contact.

“I remember the day he told us he wanted to walk home instead of the car so he could make sure you got home safe.” I shot my eyes to Victor and he just smiled softly and shrugged his shoulders at his dads words. “It’s nice to have you grace our table young lady.”

“Thank you for having me. I didn’t realize we were coming here… all Victor said was dinner.” I shot him a look and he smirked.

“Best dinner in the city.” He told me before his mom told him to shut it in Spanish. “You know your skills ma.”

“Show your girl to the living room. I have to set the table-“

“I’ll help.” I stepped up knowing she cooked all the food and someone should help set the table.

She took my hand quick, happy I offered, and pulled me along. The house was long so we went down a thin hallway before she turned right into the kitchen.

I heard Vic and his dad pass the doorway and I rubbed at my arm as she started to get forks out and then she turned for the plates. “Just go set these down and I’ll be in with the food.” She told me and I nodded, taking it all before seeing a stack of napkins and grabbing those as well.

I found my way and smiled as Victor saw me. I set two settings on each side of the table and gulped as he then grabbed my hips and pulled me down to the chair he had pulled closer to him.

“So, Daisy, I heard you are a waitress at the diner. We haven’t been back in so long, is the food still good?” His dad asked me and I felt my mouth go dry.

“Yeah. It’s been picking up actually. We have a few different chefs and the menu is really good.” I smiled softly wondering if this is all we’re going to talk about. I didn’t have a big job… or school, or family to discuss.

“Where did you guys end up this time?” Victor asked them and while his mom walked in and started to dish us herself she told us all about traveling in the RV. About Texas to Tennessee and The French Quarter in New Orleans.

“Sounds like so much fun.” I piped in when they seemed to plateau. “Was that your first trip?”

“No. When Vic moved out we were still working but we took a vacation, visited her family down in Mexico. That was fun. Dangerous but fun.” His dad told me and then they went on to discuss and argue why it was dangerous.

“Mexico is not the safest. It’s just about who you know.” His mom rolled her eyes and I kept my mouth full as they started to just chat. I didn’t feel uncomfortable but I did feel out of place. Vic kept his arm around my chair as soon as he finished and since he was a fast eater I was left to be distracted by the good food and his little touches.

“Our Vic tells us you have a new place, your own apartment.” I gulped as I nodded and looked from his mom to his dad and then nodded.

“It’s a couple blocks away from the diner. I usually walk to and from. My neighbor across the hall neighbor actually owns the place so if I ever have any issues I can just knock and get it taken care of.” I nodded happily.

“It’s a nice place. Pool and all that.” I nodded along to Victors words, I hadn’t ever been in the pool, I worked all the time but it was a cute thing to talk about.

“Your own laundry room?”

“Yeah.” I nodded and his mom made her mouth puckered and I gulped and looked to my water.

“And you’ve moved in Victor?” His dad asked and I choked and shook my head.

“No. No he won’t. He doesn’t have to.” I shook my head and felt my hand shaking just a bit and then his hand went from my shoulder to my neck as he gave it a rub.

“Im still at the club house part time.” He told them before he seemed to get ready for something.

“I don’t know how you do that. Live with a bunch of men. You’re a grown man with roommates.” His mother grumbled and shook her head before saying something in Spanish I couldn’t really hear. “She’s going to leave you if you make her join you-“ she was pointing at me as she said it and I shook my head slowly.

“I don’t mind the club. I know all the guys since they all eat at the diner. And it’s not so bad.” I told her and she paused as she looked at me and a small smile lit her face as she realized I was serious.

“What took you so long Victor?” His dad laughed as I looked from him to my man and then back.

“Pure stupidity on my side.” He rubbed my back now and gave me this look I didn’t understand before he looked over at his mom. “Tell me you made flan.” He had a little light in his eyes and his mother told him how exhausted she was over feeding him but that yes she made it.

“I’ll get it.” His dad stood and stated to collect all our plates and I worked at my nails under the table as Vic and his mom now spoke in Spanish.

I sat there a little out of it until Vic’s hand hit my lower back. I turned and let his lips hit my cheek near my nose as he winked.

“Come on.” He pulled me out of my chair and his mom didn’t seem mad as he led me away and down the hall the other way. We made it to his room and I looked around.

It sure didn’t look like I thought it would. It was clean and neat and just a few posters on the walls. Sexy girls on sexy cars I could kind of laugh at since it is typical boy… but he is also a mechanic I know loves older cars. So as much as teenage Victor wanted it for the chicks he probably wanted the cars on his wall too.

He sat on his bed and let me explore until I started to open something open and then he laughed and kept it shut for a moment. “Don’t judge.” He whispered and I laughed, as if I could. This was a magic home with loving parents, real walls, a good kitchen… clean.

”There is nothing here that could possibly embarrass you.” I told him and then he shook his head and then let me open the cabinet.

Once it was open I could see journals lining the top, a few pictures of him and his mom and him and his dad and a few with them all together. He had his prospect patch on the wall in a covered frame. He had a necklace hanging beside it and I saw a casing of a bullet on the the bottom of the cabinet next to a few things he probably kept here in case of dange like a few knives, brass knuckles… things I am sure he could do a lot of damage with.

Looking at it all, it was his life. It was his childhood and teenage years and even as a young adult. It was all here on display. And then I saw something I had to reach for and he laughed and the sound made me pause. “That’s all you baby.” He nodded at me so I would continue.

I pulled the picture that was slid between two journals and it was a picture of the two of us with face paint, we couldn’t have been older than 11 or 12… way too young to really recall posing for pictures. I almost cried. I didn’t have a lot of pictures of me as a baby, or as a kid, or anything young other than year books and I never had my own version. I stole a senior yearbook from someone so I could have those memories but I felt bad about it enough.

”Don’t worry when Essie found his porn, she threw it away.” I heard his dad call out and I giggled as I felt him grumble about this being the reason he moved out.

I might have been terrified to do all of this, but it did feel like a great step to our lives merging. We had a lot of differences but that wasn’t going to stop us from continuing, if I wasn’t mistaken I was sure his mom wanted him to move in with me and get out of it he compound. Which was caused me to giggle again as I turned to him. “I guess I shouldn’t sit on the bed?”

”Baby I’ve imagined you in my bed multiple ways and times and doing more things I can remember.. but you’re not touching that bed when my parents are here.” He told me and I took a step closer just to tease. “Ok… but they’re going to hear-“

”Oh no.” I laughed realizing what he meant now. I laughed all the way to the open door and he caught me and pinned me to the door. “I love you.” I whispered… I couldn’t hold it in. There was no way he was going to say it first, but I knew from actions he was doing he felt the same way.

”I love you too. Now, let's go see what other pictures my mom has pulled out.” He gave me a soft kiss, something that you see in romance movies. I chased his lips until he gave me another kiss and all I could think for the rest of the night was what he would do to me in his bed.
