Jackie
"Fuck" I said trying to tame my hair. I woke up late and there are only a few minutes before it's time to send Max to school and I have to make him breakfast, fuck it I'll just pick something up at McDonald's. I barely even had time to change, If it wasn't for my dad and his stupid training I would have woke up on time. Last weekend he woke me up at 4 in the morning to do some drills, then we ran for like 30 miles. And that's not even the half of it now he got me changing the way I eat too, I didn't know it would be this much work to join the army. I never thought I could feel so much pain in so many different body parts.
I drove to Max's house like a madwoman, as soon as I got to the house I unlocked the door. yes, I have a key "I'm here" I said out of breath walking into the kitchen to find no one there.
"Hello?" I said putting down the breakfast. My body was too sore to go up the stairs so I decided to call Kevin.
"And so are sleep beauty woke up"
"Where's Max?" I said rolling my eyes.
"Since you didn't show up I had Frank drop him off" letting out a breath I slowly drop my body to the floor.
"Thank God" I said.
"We have some things to talk about clown" I quickly sat up causing to feel a sharp pain traveling through my back.
"Ahh, what is it" I said touching my back.
"Well on Saturday I woke this morning to find four screaming kids at my front step" as soon as he said that that's when I remember about Max's playdate.
"Welll" I said slowly getting up and walking towards the living room "You see what happen wasssss" I said with a laugh.
"Yes" he said.
"I invited some of the kids from Max's school to come over" I sat on the couch "I mean I wanted to help him make friends, and I'm sorry I forgot to tell you please don't be mad" I said removing my phone from my ear to prepare for the yelling. But after a while, I didn't hear anything so I got worried "Uh...hello?"
"Yeah" he said.
"Uh...did you say something?" I asked getting ready for the yelling.
"I said ok" I stared at the phone in shock.
"Ok?" I said more in as a question.
"Ok" there was an awkward silence.
"Ok.....so I'll just go home then?" I said not sure myself.
"Are you asking or telling?" he said.
"I don't know" I answered honestly.
"Look, you can stay if you want just don't break anything or go into my office" he yelled the last part out.
"I promise," I said raising my hand even though he couldn't see.
"Alright, I'll see you later" and with that, he hung up the phone.
Rude, not even a goodbye.
I have this whole house to myself, what to do, what to do?
Kevin
I was so tired, knowing Jackie ew it still sounds weird. I bet she forgot she had to pick up Max today, which is fine since I already told Frank to pick him up. I came home early because I was hoping since I let her stay that she cooked today. It's been 3 days since I had her home cooking and I'm dying. As I got closer to the door I heard loud music coming from the house.
"What the?" I said quickly unlocking the door, what is this woman doing. I came inside and everything looked the same, but the music was still loud I'm surprised no one called the cops yet. I walked upstairs and followed the sound to one of our many guest rooms.
Swagger jagger, swagger jagger
You should get some of your own
Count that money, get your game up
Get your game up, get your game up
"What is she doing?" I slowly open the door to find Jackie standing on the bed with a hair drying and singing at the same time. The room was a mess with chips and candy wrappers every. The smell of nail polish burned my nose, her hair was wet dripping water everywhere and she naked wearing nothing but a robe. And how may you ask I know she's naked, well she didn't tie herself up with the robe that's why.
Yup, I got to see everything, and I must say for a clown she sure doesn't have a body of one. Do all clowns have a nice body? as the base dropped she started to get lower making me see EVERYTHING.
"Get on the floor...
Get, get, get...
Get on the floor...
St-st-st-st-staring at me, at me"
YESSSS LORD! aw man, I haven't felt this way since Kaley.
"Get on the floor...
I got it in check
Get on the floor...
You, you, you can't----Ahhh" That's when I woke up from my trans. I didn't see her on the bed anymore. I quickly turn off the song and called out for her "Clown?" I yelled.
"How long have you been there?" I heard she yelled.
"Where are you" I said walking towards the bed.
"Stop!" she yelled. I looked down to see her underneath the bed how the hell did she get under there?
"Don't come any closer" she said poking her head from under the bed.
I started to laugh "I must say that was a beautiful show"
"Oh gosh, how much did you see?"
"Enough," I said with a smile, causing her to put her head back under the bed.
"Oh, lord" she said, and I couldn't help but keep on laughing.
"If it helps, it was a really nice show" that caused her to scream in embarrassment.
"GET THE FUCK OUT!" she yelled. With a laugh, I walked out of the room closing the door.
I went to my room to take a shower and to change out of my suit. Once I was done I changed into some sweat pants and a white t-shirt. I walked out of my room and walked towards the guest room knocking on the door I said "Clown, are you done yet?"
"It's about time you start learning my name!" I heard her yell through the door.
"Hurry up, I'm hungry," I said walking away and going down the stairs into the living room. A few minutes later Jackie came.
"Why are you so early?" she asked and took a seat next to me on the couch.
"I got done early and thought I'll come home for the day" she nods in understanding.
"What were you singing by the way?" I asked.
"Oh some song I heard on the radio, I couldn't getting out my head it's called swagger jagger" after that there was silence.
"What type of music do you like?" she asked.
"Well since I work so much I usually don't have time. But I do like old school, like r&b and some slow jams" she looked at me in shock.
"What you know about that white boy?" I started to laugh. I dated a lot of girls back in my day in all shapes and colors so I was pretty diverse in today's pop and r&b culture.
"Women you just don't know," I said snapping my fingers causing her to look at me as if I lost my mind. I got up and went towards the iPod and plug it into the speakers.
As soon as the song started to play she got up "Hold up, you are not about to play my jam?" she said turning up the volume. I took her hand and started to sing.
" My love, do you ever dream of
Candy coated raindrops?
You're the same, my candy rain"
She started to laugh and push me away but I wasn't having it.
" Have you ever loved someone
So much you thought you'd die?
Giving so much of yourself
It seems the only way"
And then she started to join in.
"Tell me what you want and I
And I will give it to you
'Cause you are"
We were so into the song that's when I got closer to her and took her hand. She started to giggle and we both started to slow dance while listening to the song.
"Dory?" we turned around to see Max and Frank. I quickly stop what I was doing but Jackie didn't seem to care she smiled and walked towards Max. Giving him a kiss on his cheek and picking him up while singing at the same time.
"My love, do you ever dream of
Candy-coated raindrops?
You're the same, my candy rain" This caused Max to giggle and they started to dance together. I left not wanting to mess up there moment. I went into the kitchen and went into the dish was to get a cup and pour myself a glass of water. Frank walked in with a huge grin on his face.
"Don't even start" I said shaking my head, causing him to burst out in a laugh.
"Ok, what you guys do is your business," he said raising his hand "But where was Jackie today? why was she late? because Max went crazy when he didn't see her today. He thought she left him"
After finishing my glass of water I answered him "She would never do that to him, and she told me she woke up late"
"I know its none of my business but I have to ask. Who is she to you? or a least to Max are you serious about her?" I wanted to tell Frank the truth but at the same time, I didn't want him to judge me.
"She is--" I stop trying to think of the right answer "She is my girlfriend," I said not making eye contact. There was a long pause, I looked up to see Frank staring down at me hard he took a step towards me causing me to back up.
"You're not telling the truth, you and I both know that's not the truth. But if that's the lie you guys are telling people then be my guest. But if this backfires and blows up in Max's face--" he stops knowing I got the message. We both walked out of the kitchen to see Max and Jackie singing some kid song dancing in the living room.
"I'll see you tomorrow," He said making his way towards the door "Bye, little man," he said waving at Max before he shut the door.
