This is what love is?

chapter 4

*** Blue's pov ***

The weekend went by in a blink, although quiet with mum and dad having the kids, i was bored sh*tless sunday morning. So bored i went out to the toy store and bought Nerf guns to terrorise my brothers with. I snuck through the door of doom straight up to Enzo's room. Once at his bedroom door, i stealthily twisted the handle and threw the door open. Gun drawn, i started firing bullets into the room. I swear my soul left my body when i was greeted with a very high pictch scream. A very naked lindsey! Oh my sh*t! Singer lindsey? And i just shot her in the tit! A naked Enzo, well he had the bed sheet wrapped around him. Thank god for small miracles! My feet were glued to the floor, and my eyes probably looked like they were gonna roll out my head. I think im having a stroke? Is this what a stroke feels like? my pulse feels funny? If i die, my last image is of lindsey's saggy t**s! I can't move or seem to get a word out. My mouth just keeps opening and closing. Two very loud, deep laughs come from behind me, I look over my shoulder and matt's wiping tears from his eyes and luca's holding onto the wall bent over wheezing. That shakes me out of my pre-stroke, but the only thing i could think of was to turn and run, but not without shooting that little sh*t one last time!

Banging the singer, really? I'll be lucky if she even comes back next week! I swear if she dont turn up saturday, romeos gonna wish he didn't even so much as say hello to her!

"What the f**k blue!" Enzo shouts "Im so sorry about her Lindsey, shes not wired right! BLUE!" That's all i hear because i took off like my ar*e was on fire!

****

So after locking every door, and moving my long side unit against the door of doom, I'm telling you this mother effing door is getting boarded up! Nothing good comes from going through it! I put the dead bolt's on my front door, and i've safely awaited the arrivals of hitlers youth AKA, my children.

I'm yet to hear from Enzo, but luca and Matt have been quite vocal on this mornings events. Mum was asking 100 questions why i re-arranged my furniture this way and that way, while moving the side unit back, dad was non the wiser sitting comfy on my couch with hunter watching finding Dori, i had my little angel clinging to me like a koala holding my face in both her little hands talking a mile a minute, telling me all the fun things she did with nanny and grandad..."And my went to the park and my eated ice cream with grandad and my had tooty-two (she means 22) hot dogs mummy!"

"That's so good! I wish i came with you! all the boys have been being stinky around here!" I say holding my nose as she scrunch's her face up. "Yeah, boys are stinky ain't they? Not grandad though, grandads my best fwend." This child is all for my dad, and she is the apple of his eye, even when she throws a tantrum acting like a three-nager, he won't have it and will tell US we're being dramatic!

Mine and the kids week was a quiet one, the same old routine, dropped them to school, came back home and worked, back to pick them up, go to the park, have some television time, dinner, baths and bed.

I decided i was going to take the kids to the beach tomorrow being Saturday, Tina voiced her opinion and wasn't happy how i was stealing her precious time.

"Blue, i want to come to the beach, i barely see them through the week!"

"No woman, you keep your scraggly a*se in the kitchen where you belong!" Im really trying not to laugh. Dads shoulders are shaking, all the while she's standing at my cooker making us all dinner.

"Blue, i swear to god, you carry on. I will definitely sell you off to the gypsies!" Me and dad burst out laughing while she curses at us. You would think my kids are her damm kids, and this is her house! That woman's like a dog with a bone, she wont leave off till she gets her way. So after a lot of back and forth, she told me she was coming with us. End of!

Mum packed us up a huge picnic, even pulled a couple of buckets and spades out of one of my cupboards i had no idea was there?

We're all relaxed and chilling on the sand, Hunter and frank are trying to build a sand village. Im laughing to myself watching mum help the kids, She's even got herself a little stick, carving in brick work on the castles! She absolutely cracks me up, I love her to death, but she is a nut! Mother like daughter, i suppose?

We spent our whole day at the beach playing in sea, eating a nice lunch thanks to little Tina. We even finished the sand village, which somehow had flags on top of the castles. No doubt Tina pulled them out of her pocket. We've just finished packing up and made our way back to my car, i love my car. It was my first real big purchase, its a grey audi rs3 saloon, when i saw it i wanted to hump it! literally i was like a b***h in heat!

We got to my car and mum is swearing up to high heavens, Frank's telling nanny to stop with her potty mouth or she'll have to put her on the naughty step. When did the roles reverse? I'm standing there holding hunter's hand and we are both just staring at the wheels, my beautiful 'flat' shiny wheels. "Blue look at your f*cking wheels! some f*cker has let your tyres down... No wait! Oh i swear when i catch the little bast*rds! They've slashed your sh*tting tyres! Thats it im ringing your dad!"

For f*ck sake like i need this after a nice chilled day, i won't let it get it to me, since there ain't much i can do but ring a recovery service, "Mum chill your beans, just get dad to take you and the kids back home, there aint nothing none of us can do right now apart from ring recovery and get them to take my car to a garage."

Dad arrived and loaded Tina and Hunter in the car, frank stayed with me, she didn't want to leave mummy on her own. I rang a few recovery companies and the quickest any of them could arrive was within 2 hours, with my cellphone battery low and 2 hours to kill, i phoned my best friend Alex who owned a Irish bar around the corner.

"Hey blue! what's up?"

"Hey Alex, you sh*tbag! Me and Frank are just around the corner. Was seeing if you wanted some company for a while?"

"You silly woman! you haven't got to call. Just turn up! I'd love to see my 2 favorite girls!"

"Ok were be there in 10. see you soon" I hold franks hand and make our way to the bar.

"Mummy, are we going to see uncle Alex? My love uncle Alex!" she squeals like a little pig, she loves Alex because, like every man in her life, he spoils her rotten! She can bring any man to his knees and make his stone-cold heart melt.

We take a slow walk round to Alex's bar, as were approaching i see him standing in the doorway. "FRANKIEEE!" "UNCLE ALEX!" As soon as she sees him, she lets go of my hand and takes off as fast as her little legs will take her. He catches her throwing her up in the air and putting her on his shoulders.

we say our hello's and make our way through the bar. It is absolutely heaving as usual, all the lights are dimmed, the bar, tables, chairs, stools and floors are all dark wood, the music thumping through the speakers, its like this every afternoon and evening. All the servers and barstaff say there hello's as we make our way to his office.
