Mason came home from work to take care of Max while I went to the gym that was downstairs. He asked "Where is Max?"
"Sleeping on the couch"
"Okay" he said as he just stood there looking at me on the treadmill. "Go watch him," I demanded. A second later he turned around and said "Oh Delilah"
"Yes," I said, turning my attention to him again.
"Nice panties I like those black ones"
"Shut up and just go attend to your son" I whispered. When Max woke up crying Will quickly turned his attention to his son and I said "That's your cue"
After ten minutes of walking I suddenly see Mason at the door. I took out one of my earphones and asked "Excuse me, what are you doing aren't you supposed to be watching your son?"
"He's asleep"
"Why are you here?"
"Don't know I just wanted to see you work out"
"Anyways. You know how I feel when my baby isn't supervised, now go"
"Chill, I got the monitor right here"
"That never did shit"
"But yet you still used it"
"I can't stand you getting out ma face, man." "I'm good," he said, typing away on his phone.
"Who are you texting?"
"Todd"
"Why?"
"I'm going to be getting back into contracting"
"Excuse me?"
"What?"
"Um, did you forget you're a father? oh yeah and a husband?"
"No I know I'll manage time for "
"I don't ask you to take off of your lunch just to have fun. I asked you so you can be a father to Max. And have quality time with him not so you can tell me 'oh I'm leaving you with him so I can go do something more important'"
"What now I didn't say that acting was-"
"Don't you raise your voice to me, our son is sleeping"
"I never said that acting was more important than family" he said in a lower tone.
"So you expect me to do this alone for three weeks it has been tiring for me with just me and him. I had no help because everyone else is busy. I refuse to do this alone again."
"I know and I'm sorry I promise to help"
"How are you planning to leave?"
"Not now, he just asked me to work on a new movie with him"
"So what did you say?"
"I'll think about it"
"Get out my face with that bullshit" suddenly Max started crying again. "Go attend your son I'm almost finished here." I said annoyed. While Mason went back to work I took to mom and dad's. We were just chillin when Mom said "You look exhausted."
"I didn't know you can tell"
"You look like you haven't had sleep that's why"
"Geez thanks I know"
"Isn't Mason supposed to be helping?"
"He be working long shifts"
"Well I'll tell you what I'll take Max for a couple days so that you can take a break."
"No no you already got Maddie and Lilly to take care of"
"It's fine I've handled worse trust me an 11 month baby isn't going to be a problem"
"Thanks a lot Mama"
"No prob"
The next day I slept in and chilled at home, honestly I didn't even want to go out. But sadly, I was woken up by a call from Mason "What happened now?" I asked.
"Well my transmission blew out on me so can you come me to get lunch"
"Fine"
"Are you okay?"
"Just woke up from a two-hour nap and my legs hurt no big deal" I said nonchalantly.
"Sorry"
"It's fine, it 's just the story of my life" When I went to my car it turned out that my tire had a shard of glass in it. So I just had to work with what I had. I went to Mom's to go get my purse. It turned out Lilly was there too. Viy was chillin with Max. Maddie asked me as I picked up Max "What's up?"
"It turns out that my tire is in trouble because some guy wanted to bust a lamp and now I have shards of glass in my tire and I don't know if it is going to last me"
"Well use my van"
"I don't want to-"
"No just use it. But where are you going?"
"Apparently, Mason's transmission is fucked up so I have to drive half an hour to his job to get him so I can take him to get him lunch"
"Wow it's just not all day ain't it"
"Nope mind you he woke me up out of my sleep"
"Oh dayum"
"Yeah I know. Let me get going before I kill this man. Violet, you wanna come?"
"Yeah" she said getting off the couch. I kissed my nieces and Max before Dallas gave me keys to go get him. We had stopped at Wawa gas station to fill up the tank and got flurries.
When we finally got to Mason's job I called him and he came outside and got into the car. We went to Wawa's again but a different one. While I was starting the car he wrapped his arms around me and I shook him off and said "Come on stop playing"
"But you're warm"
"I'm not in the mood. Get off." So, he did. When I was driving him back to the enterprise he was telling me the direction to go back to the job. He had it right at first but then he said
"Shit I meant a left sorry"
"What the fuck, we taking the long way!"
"Sorry baby it's 12:50 at night I'm really tired"
"And you think I'm not. Mind you mom is going to be pissed if we don't make it home because Maddie had school tomorrow. And I'm still pissed at you"
"Sorry" Suddenly I hear my phone turn off. "Great, my phone is dead. Maddie, can I use your phone?"
"Yeah" she says handing me it. Her battery was on 15% oh dear.
"Okay so I think if we dim it we can save the battery" I said to Maddie. So we got back to the job. I kissed him goodbye and we left. He told me he was going to be home around two. The GPS was acting shitty so we accidentally went the wrong way.... again. I honestly didn't know if we were going to get home on time. God please help me and give me strength. I was really stressed at this point. But at least I didn't have to worry about Max because my sister was taking care of him. I took a deep breath and just broke down. How was I supposed to go to work tomorrow? I was so overwhelmed that I broke down crying for a few minutes. Maddie rubbed my back and said "It will be okay" On the way home Violet's phone died but thank God, we were only blocks away from home. Mom just pulled up to the driveway when we did. In turned to her and said "If mom asks just tell her that we went to Wawa's she'll kill us"
"Deal"
The next morning, I was woken out of my sleep to the feel of lips running down my neck and that familiar scent of my husband's cologne. I smiled and groaned, not even trying to open my eyes. "What time is it?"
"About 2:20"
"You know what...I'm too tired to even fight you right now...so can you just take off your clothes and come cuddle with me, I need my snuggle bear"
"You're that lazy today?"
"It's my day off, well was my day off because Max is with Lily for a few days but I had to go pick up your ass so I barely had a day off"
"Well while we still have time why don't we spend these last free ours together"
"That was my plan but you came home late. I was too tired waiting for you" I'm sorry baby I'll make it up to you" he said sliding himself under the covers and wrapping his arms around my waist. His hands were so cold on my skin that I jerked back as my eyes darted open and yelped "What did I tell you, you're cold"
"So you're the one that can warm me up" I smiled while gazed into his eyes but then I said "You know I'm still pissed off at you right"
"Still?"
"Yes still because you know I need you to help me"
"I'm sorry baby but guess what?"
"What?"
"I didn't take the offer"
"Wait what?" I said in shock.
"Yeah I decided to not because I won't be able to make it to Max's birthday in time and I know there was going to be a consequence for that"
"I can't believe it you are so sweet"
"Well my family means more to me than just a gig" I smiled and kissed him passionately. But I let it linger for a bit prolonging the kiss into a make out session which eventually turned into touching. When he was kissing up on my chest I said "Baby we need to go get Max tomorrow"
"Okay but let's focus on us at this moment" he said stopping for a second.
"You so conceited"
"No I just want my wife right now and to just focus on us"
"But no matter what my Mami mode stays on you know that" I said running my fingers through his hair.
"You drive me crazy woman"
"Oh I know."
The next morning I woke up snuggled half on top of Wilmer on his side and our legs tangled in the sheets. I bit my bottom lip and said "Morning baby"
"Morning to you too."
"Are you happy you didn't leave?"
"Yes it was totally worth it"
"Now can we go get Max. I'm missing my baby boy."
"Okay baby" We got up and got dressed to go get our son so we could take him out to breakfast at Ricky's diner. Over breakfast we started to talk about Max's birthday party while I fed him his pancakes.
"Okay so we did paw patrol for his first so let's try Chuck E. Cheese's. I haven't been there in years" he suggested as he bit the fork of hash browns. "But they to everyone's party I don't want to add everyone I want to add who I know will be there"
"Okay well he got a lot of cousins for both our sides so I can do that and I can do the party favors."
"No you get the cake and the cupcakes and ill to the favors and decoration." I said taking a bite of my sandwich.
"Alright papa what do you want to have for your birthday big boy?"
"Bubble guppies"
"Okay then bubble guppies it is"
"But I don't care what you say, I'm taking him to Chuck E. Cheeses"
"Okay i'll try to take the day off"
"Better" I smiled knowing I know he will when he says maybe.
When he came home he was about to kiss me when I backed away and took an envelope out of my back pocket and threw it on the stove then looked at her with a pissed expression. He looked down and the envelope saw "mortgage notice" written on it.
"I thought you paid for it last week," I said to him, folding my arms across my chest.
"Um..uh I can explain-"
"Please do, because I'm ten seconds close to punch you"
"Okay...when I was at work I accidently left it on my desk and the janitor threw it away."
"What the hell!!? Mason, I told you to give that check in last Monday!" I yelled as I pound my fist on my chest making him step back.
"But I was busy I was in a rush to an meeting"
"That's what's your problem! You care about work"
"Well I'm sorry I'm providing for my family!"
"Don't get smart you know damn well I'm right"
"Whatever I'm just going talk a shower"
"Yeah you do that, you know what better yet grab your shit and sleep down here" He didn't say anything because he knew if he did, he would just make shit worse. When he went upstairs he heard me talking on the phone to what seemed to be Marissa. She had her own speaker while she started to clean.
"Maris I don't know what to do"
"What happened?"
"He didn't pay the bill like I told him to, apparently he forgot the check on the desk at his job and some fucking dumb ass janitor threw the fucking envelope away and now we might get our house taken"
"He must've forgot, don't overreact"
"But he shouldn't have been irresponsible "
"Where is he now?"
"The shower"
"Look people make mistakes. You know he didn't mean it"
"It's not even just that, it's his job. I have to ask him if he can take his son for his lunch break sometimes so I won't think he forgot that he had a main priority and on top of that he has no time for us. Honestly I don't even know if he is going to make it to Max's party this Saturday"
When I just put Max to sleep I turned off his light and went to the room. When he got out of the bathroom went to his room to kiss him goodnight before coming into the room in just his briefs, to drop off his dirty clothes and grab his pillow. Just when he was about to grab his pillow I grabbed the other end and said "Wait...don't go"
"Why?"
"Look I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell at you it wasn't your fault"
"Thank you but I thought you said for me to-"
"I know what I said but now I'm saying for you to stay up here with me now let go and sit down" He did as I asked. Then I scooted closer to him, wrapping my arms around his waist and placing my head on his side where he had a tattoo of me and our children's names. He kissed my head and said "I love you baby"
"I love you too"
"Just so you know I took off Saturday"
"Really?!"
"Yeah...wait a minute where you are eavesdropping on me and Marissa's conversation?"
"Well you had her on speaker and the shower head isn't that loud"
"You eavesdropper"
"I know"
"How much did you hear?"
"Just up to Max's party"
"Oh my gosh...I'm so sorry"
"It's okay you were right I'm sorry for being an ass, I'll cut back on the work hours and give you my attention."
"You really would do that?"
"If that means making you happy yes"
"You're so sweet," I said before giving him a kiss
