OUR JOY

CHAPTER 8

I woke up refreshed and I was happy about what happened between me and Michael, I always knew that anything that happens between us, I would never regret it. The man is the love of my life, if he wanted a release I was happy that I could help. He has been through a lot and he had to endure a lot in one day, and to think about Stacey’s over dramatic lash out yesterday. I really wish that this meant more to him, I don’t want him to close those walls again when I am around. I really love him and he will always have my heart no matter what decision he thinks it best for him. I could never force him to be together with me and use that lame excuse that it's what’s best for the children, because we both will be lying and it would be wrong to use the kids for our personal gain. The night we had was amazing, he had woken me up three times and he had done wonders to my petite body and I did not mind at all. He had shown me the stars and heaven, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I really hope that he will include me in the life of the kids, even if he wants to know them and build a relationship with them. That is what is best for them and my feelings for him can then follow. My kids are my first and most priority and no man, I mean even their father can never make me choose him over my three musketeers. I love my babies, and I would do anything for them. I hope we will all be happy at the end of the day. I wonder how are the kids and Anthony? I pray they did not hear the noise that I made last night, it was amazing but it would be really embarrassing if my kids heard me letting go and begging their father to f**k me.

I know Stacey will come back and it will not be pretty, she is a sore loser and I could tell that she is really messed up the soul. She better not do any harm to my children because I will turn into the grim reaper in no time, I swear. I so wish my mom was here to witness this, she would not believe it. Her daughter, a mother and a mother of three amazing kids.

I woke up and went to the bathroom to take a bath, when I was done I borrowed one of his clothes to wear, I hope he did not mind. I wore one of his small jeans which I am sure he does not wear them anymore and took to ties and made them a belt. I took one of his white shirts and made a tight knot at the front and it covered my breasts and showed a little of my abdomen skin. I was happy with the results. I went downstairs to eat something, when I got there, there were a lot of people and I recognised Daniel and his girlfriend Miranda.

“Hello” I shyly said. 

They were all staring and Michael had his blank face as always. I wonder if he really ever showed any affection and eased at heart, in front of his friends and family.

“Hi there, don’t you look refreshed this morning.” Teased Daniel and I was so embarrassed and I am sure that I was red all over. I did not know what to say. Some of the women they were looking at me with disgust and hate.

“Where are the kids?” I had changed the subject and I really missed my babies anyway. The last time I saw them was yesterday before their father decide to ravish me.

“Tony took them to the park. They wanted to say goodbye but I told them you were are sleep.” Michael said,

“Oh” that is the only thing that came out of my mouth. I was disappointed that I have to wait to see the kids later. I missed them so much. I must have said that out loud because I heard him saying,

“I can call him to bring them back, It had been some time anyway now. I am sure they had some fun.” I shook my head to say no.

“No don’t, I am just sad because I always take them out. I guess it is nice that someone else take them, It will give them some freedom.” I sigh.

 “Well, let me get something to eat I’m famished and you can get back on whatever you guys were doing.” I smiled.

 “It was nice seeing you guys again” i said to Daniel and Miranda. I turned to leave, when one of the women talked.

“Michael, I did not know you let one of you flings wear your clothes and bring their kids at your house.” She said it with such venom and it shocked me. Another back her up,

“Yeah, what were you thinking? This will do damage to your business if it were to come out. What about Stacey? I thought you two were getting along and you were ready to settle down.” 

She turned around when she saw that they were looking at her with smirks and they thought that they were hurting her feelings, and she glanced at Michael. She was afraid of the anger she witnessed in his eyes he was going to burst,  but he was keeping it intact and she was proud of him. He knew how to control it, she then looked at them again this time she had a smile on her face.

“Well that was not nice and I can see why you would think Stacey is good for him, because you are just like her judgemental and total bitches. I would really appreciate it for you to say whatever you want to say to me, not behind my back. Don’t sugarcoat it, we are all adults here. So, please don’t be afraid to hurt my feelings. Besides, I don’t give a s**t what the world says about me and I certainly don’t give a s**t about your opinions, they mean nothing to me. You may hate me all you want, I don’t give a fuck.”

 Michael, Miranda and Daniel were shocked and all the other men and women who were there. One of the girls who talked before laughed and said,

“You will never fit in here, you little slut and coming with your little shits will not easy Michael’s heart to fall for you.” Emerald’s eyes were hard as stone, she had so much anger and hate for this woman,

“One thing I hate the most, are vile women who would like to think themselves better than anyone else. Though that might be, I do not appreciate scum and easy bitches to call my children little shits, because that really, really makes me angry and when I am angry, it is not a good feeling. Do you want to know why? Because it is suffocating and I want to flush it all out. As it may, but I will not give you the satisfaction. I am not low as you, I certainly do not try to be noticed by bashing others. Michael will never bed you and that is the underlying reason here and stooping so low and using MY children is such a turn off.” She turned to Michael 

“You sure know how to choose them, men they are messed up good. They better stay very far away from my kids.” She huffed. One of the guys finally talked.

“I sorry if I am rude. Are you that girl, that was so out of place about five years ago in the Glamour?” Emerald’s eyes were wide open with shocked and she went pale, she did not know that someone from back then would recognise her.

She looked at Michael pleading with her eyes for help, he just smirked and shrugged his shoulders. Asshole leave her to be mauled by the wolves, she sighed and relaxed her body and turned to look at the guy.

“Yes, yes it is I, who was at the Glamour out of place kind, Sir,” She mimicked the English British accent with excellence and the guy bust up laughing.

“Oh, God have mercy. I like you, I hope to see you more often. I am Jake by the way.” She tilted her head, he was not wearing a ring but she knew he was married and yet here he was flirting and it didn’t sit well with her. Did he think that she was easy like those two bitches?

“I hope that knowing me better, has a better meaning than what I think you mean Jake.” She said with conviction.

“Well it is what you think, I mean I would like to take you out on a date sometime.” She looked at him again and he was dead serious.

“Do you always act like that? Whatever Michael has, I must have it too? He f****d this girl, I will too?” She asked “Then why did you get married if you still wanted to f**k around? It is such a shame for your wife , she married such a jerk ass and stupid child of man. I really hope you grow up eventually and realise that there are more important things than your stupid and unnecessary competitions.” Then she saw that she surprised a lot of people about this. Jake looked at her shocked most and one of the guys asked

“Where have you been all my life? I think i'm in love” others laughed, while others snickered.

“Busy being a mother and working, but worry not my love, I am yours for the taking?” the guy was shocked and others were wondering was she bipolar or what? She knew the guy was gay and she did not know if the others knew or not, but she loved him already. She could tell they were going to be good friends.

“Oh, really? That would be great. We could start by giving your children a little sister,  then we would marry in the Bahamas. Just you, the kids and i. We will live in Paris and speak of our love in French, It will be so beautiful when we make love, you will never want me to stop.” Emerald moaned and said 

“I can just picture it, our bodies entwined like flowers blooming in the forest. Our bodies moving together as the beautiful seas, our breaths uneven as the stormy rains. While our cries and screams of pleasure made a melody like the sound of thunder and lighting. Our heart beats as one, like the drums in the shallow caves of Africa. As tears slipped from our eyes like the tenderness of the babies laugh, and the sweet kisses that will curse us to oblivion of pleasure. With our quivering bodies and ecstasy that will leave us with shallow breaths and tender happiness. The never ending love, love that will invite enemies and while they envy of our union, makes them bitter we will rise to the heavens and shine up in the stars.” Everyone was quiet and stunned.

“Yeeks, my ears scarred for life” said Sebastian. Emerald went pale and turned around.

“Oh, God. Did you hear that?” she looked at the kids while they nodded their heads and all the others were as surprised they had been so engrossed in her poetic way of seeing s*x and some were even turned on.

“It was beautiful mom even though it was too s****l for us. It is 2018 mom, surely you do realise we know what happens between people in a relationship furthermore what intimacy is?” said Alexander, still shocked Emerald stood still.

“Of course, that does not mean we will do such at a tender age. Mom it is good that we have knowledge of such things, as it will prevent us from making mistakes that most teenagers make these days. Teenage pregnancy and rushing in to physical relationships due to peer pressure or trying to score more or competing. It is important to know the consequences of rushed decision that most people make for wrong reasons.” Jonathan said, Emerald’s eyes now where frowned. Was she the parent or the roles seemed to be reversed.

“Oh mama, don’t be like that? You are still a parent here but that does not mean we cannot learn on our own. Yes, you have more experience in life and know what is best for us, but we also can learn on our own and you learn from us. You being our mother did not come with guidelines and it certainly did not say do not make mistakes. Who can be that perfect?” he smiled and know Emerald was out of shock.

“You watched porn didn’t you?” she asked seriously.

“WHAT? No, no we would never do such a thing.” They said with wide eyes and she turned to Tony.

“YOU LET THEM WATCH PORN?” she screamed Tony was white as a sheet, he did not know the kids did that.

“Run uncle Tony” Alex said and Tony did not hesitate, he ran. Emerald was shaking with anger, the kids ran to their rooms because they knew she was losing it and they were safe very far from her for now.

Em, turned to Michael who was shocked still on his couch,

“Your brother let them see porn, porn Michael? That is not s*x nor love making. It is brutality to a women’s value. My kids will think women are things to be turned around f****d for hours and hours.” She was crying. 

“My kids will think women are not being cherished and be treated with care and love. Oh, God! Forgive me for being a bad mother, oh my poor babies’ eyes.” She was wailing and those vile women were laughing at her.

“ENOUGH” Michael burked out and everyone went still.

“Tony did not make them watch porn,” he said looking at her. “Why are you being dramatic?” he asked bored

“f**k you Michael,” she said with anger and rage, her eyes were more or less like his now. He realised then he made a mistake and a grave one. She was leaving,

“I am sorry, OK?” he said, “Look, I am new to this and I didn't mean it like that. My brother is responsible and he would never let them watch porn.” he sighed, while his friends looked at him with shock. Did he just apologies to the girl? “I am learning, I will make mistakes. I promised i will try to make sure I take you seriously.” he smiled “Believe me he would not do that.”

Emerald looked at him and nodded his head but said nothing, she only nodded her head and left. He sighed

“Just great Michael.”
