The Heart Mender

Chapter 32: Daddy Duties & Wine Slushies

I picked my baby girl up and kissed her softly.
"Everly, don't listen to your Daddy.
All boys aren't bad, ok?
Look at your Daddy, I love him...and he's kinda crazy."
Justin took her in his arms as he walked me to the door.
"I intend to be the crazy Dad anyway.
She already knows this.
I'll be prepared for the stage when she's a teenager who despises me.
But for now, I'm her only guy.
Now be gone woman!"

"But...but...it's not fair.
You haven't left her side since she was born.
Why do you get to stay?"

"Because you need a break Twinkles!
You are always taking care of us.
Go have some fun.
Besides, I'm Justin Bieber...I don't need breaks."

"You are such a cocky guy, Bieber!"

"Hey!
You married me!"
He gave me his signature wink & kissed me and then shut the door on me!

I was mumbling curse words as I hopped into Kenny's car.

Kenny:
You gonna survive?

Hails:
Yeah...I'm just nervous.
What if she needs me?

Kenny:
With Justin as her Dad?
He's like father of the year.
He lives and breathes for her.
But he is Justin Bieber after all.
Do you have fire extinguishers at home?

Hails:
What the fuck, Ken?
Why would you say that!

Kenny: Wellll...Justin is Justin...I'm just trying to make sure you have your bases covered.
You definitely need a drink Hails.
I'm thinking wine slushies?

Hails: I'm breastfeeding...I can't drink.
Kenny you know that!

Kenny: It's called pump and dump, Hails!
Google it!

I loved my best friend, but she was talking about Justin burning down the house....and then expecting me to get Mom wasted with her.
So Kenny!
I grabbed my phone and texted Justin.

Me: Hey Ogre!
Promise me you won't cook or light candles while I'm gone, ok?

Ogre: So is that a no then, to the bonfire Ev and I were planning for later?

Me: Please don't fuck with me!
Babe...I'm a nervous wreck.

Ogre: Calmmmmm downnnnn!

Me: PROMISE ME THEN!

Ogre: Stop shouting at me in all caps.
I've got this.
I promise to stay away from all things fire related.
Poor Ev will be disappointed though,
She was looking forward to that bonfire.

Me: Your not funny!

Ogre: Ev finds me hilarious, but you wouldn't get it.
Your not on our wavelength.

Me: Goodbye Stalkers!

Ogre: Your stalking us!
Go have fun, Ms.Bossy Pants.

I giggled at our crazy banter.
And then looked over at Kenny.
She stuck her tongue out at me.

Hails: What?

Kenny: Your not paying attention to me.
You know I'm a needy bitch.
I planned our whole day!
Lunch at Nobu.
Wine Slushies.
Pedicures and facials.
I missed you!

I grabbed her boob and kissed her cheek.

Hails: Are you happy now?
I gave you a little something?
