Thoughts Never Intended to be Explained

Maids & Morals

Vet continued to prep the food for her hubby whom was in the way home. She loved getting all dressed up for him. His response was like none other. Once she set up all the food in the oven she rushed upstairs to do all the things a woman does before he arrived. She started with her eyebrows, arching them to perfect boomerangs wrapping her eyes. Then she proceeded to graze over her entire face with the sharp barbers razor to remove all excess and dead skin. She loved beauty tips and tricks so she always barreled herself in a magazine. Next in her skin routine, she created a scrub with baking soda & coconut oil. After washing it off with cool water, she proceeded to steam, pat dry, and moisturize her face & neck. As she rolled Jade stones over her face, she jumped in the shower in shave from head to toe. Exfoliation, rinse, bathe with the luxurious body wash, and conditioning her hair. Everything had to be cleaned to perfection. She always felt that her best version of herself was a way of showing respect to her husband but most of all he appreciated it-and he showed it.

Vet shea buttered her body from head to toe and scooted to the little black box locked under their bed. Inside, she called her box of tricks, was his favorite maid outfit. It covered just enough to let his imagination run wild. The one piece was all connected but gave her the 4 main strings; one of the left breast, the other on the right breast, one around the the waist for the tassels of the skirt and one between the two plump cupcakes below her back. Also we’re the toys; the whip, the maid’s hat, a fuzzy feather duster, black strappy heels, and lacy thigh high stockings. She pranced around to her radio tunes while she touched up her makeup and spraying his favorite perfume on her neck, wrist, and thighs.

“You one foxy momma!” She said to herself in the full length mirror as she admired herself. She grabbed a polaroid camera and caught some shots;

“Oh yes, these will be perfect for Valentine’s Day! Hopefully I didn’t cut my head off in the pic!” Vet giggled as she checked the time! Soon as she noticed what time it was she heard the rumble of his blue Chevy Chevelle speeding down their pathway. Hurriedly Vet ran downstairs to greet him at the door with his surprise. As she stood there, the same pain she experienced taking the kids to the water park began again- the high pitched ringing and throb to her left temple made her eye jump.

“Whew I must be nervous, she shook it off and hugged herself repeating in her head ‘You’re calm. You’re safe. You’re everything’ Fear doesn’t exist’ as the front door creeped open.

“Yes sir I can definitely get that… ummmm to you by ummmm Monday…” Tony’s eyes laid on his wife standing at the door as he entered completely losing all train of thought.

“Yes, uhhh everything alright. I just have to handle something. Mind me giving you a call once I’m back in the office?” Tony stood froze in his tracks finding anyway for the phone call to end.

“Alright…sure…see you then” Tony hurriedly clapped his flip phone closed and tossed it aside; he needed both hands to pick up his wife.

“Oh baby, what do I owe, what do I owe for this pleasure.” Tony melted at the mercy of his wife.

In her best Spanish accent, “but Mr Morelez, your wife told me to c*m kleen you’d house today. You’d not supposed to be here sir.”

“Oh oh oh yeah. Right. Um sorry Mrs. Alexandria. I um forgot something in the bedroom, you ummm mind going up there and finding it for me?” Tony hesitated to put down his winning prize.

“Well Yes Mr morales. Anything for you.”

The click of her heels against the steps melted his entire work day away. She knew just how to make him feel like the man of his house. As she tip toed upstairs to their bedroom, Tony took a moment to look around- he smelled food and despite his love for his wife- his love of food came right behind her. He opened the oven to see 4 beautiful pans roasting- one with 2 steaks, one holding baked potatoes, the third with Vet special cornbread and the forth was a banana pudding. If he could have jumped out his skin; sent half of his body upstairs to his wife and keep the other half to eat- he would. She cooked his all time favorite meal of hers. He chuckled and ran up the stairs to his wife peeling off his 3 piece suit step by step until he turned the corner to see his drop dead sexy woman bend over the bed waiting for his arrival.

“Did I do my thang or did I do my thang baby?”

“Babe this meal about to make me quit my job and become your s*x slave. Can I get this everyday? I mean at least twice a week?”

“Tony! Stop it!” Vet rolled her eyes at him as she cleaned off the table.

Placing the dishes in the skin and as she begun to rinse them off she felt the warm embrace of his arms. He stuck his hands in the dish soap and mimicked his wife washing dishes whispering and kissing her neck,

“You really have to do all these dishes right now? I mean I could think of one other thing we could be doing… again…upstairs…”

“Oh stop it. Alexandria left, Vet is back and the one time I let you heathens not clean up, it turned into 68 thousand dishes so no, plus your mother in law is coming tonight.”

“Tonight?”

“Tonight she will be here around 4 today.” She already stopped by to fuss at me so you know how this is going to go…”

“Fuss about what Vet?”

“The usual; what’s this what’s that why this why that…”

“Oh that’s normal, plus I might work late, I need to catch up for this presentation Monday.”

“You still have twenty minutes that belong to me as far as I’m concerned young man grab that towel and help me dry these dishes.”

Tony laughing, “anything for you Vet.”

Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!

The house phone rings blasting throughout the house; baby can you get that, just see who it is.”

In his deep and professional voice; “Morelez residence, Anthony speaking, how can I help you?”

“Hello, my name is Sargent Leeves, I’m calling to inform you of an incident at the Splash Suns water park. Please come here immediately.”

“Incident. Who? Did something happen?”

“Sir, I’m not at liberty to say. Can you please come to Spash suns park immediately.”

Tony slammed the phone, grabbed Vet and ran out the house to jump in his Chevy. The 6 minute drive felt like it too hours. Little to no discussion was had. Vet looking at Tony race through the streets; she knew something wasn’t right. A fight broke out? Did the kids get hurt on some slide? A million things began to run through her mind as her gut tossed and turned in fear. As they pulled around the last corner; cops cars lined the carpool area; two ambulances were backed up with their doors open and two medics rushing a Gurnee into the pool house. Tony could barely put the car in park before Vet jumped out and raced into the pool hall.

Where are my kids? 4 kids. Two twin boys; a 12 year old girl and my baby 6 year old girl. Zavier, Xiomara,
