"Mommy, is Jacque coming over?"
"Yes he is Baby. And guess what?"
"What?" Bam, Missy, and Claire all said.
"He's bringing me sushi." I giggled.
"What's so good about sushi? It's seaweed and raw fish." Jussi's skank sneered to me.
How badly I wanted to say "Fuck you." I want to hit her. I want to yell at her. Most of all, I want to yell at him. Still, I'll get my chance. I'll corner him and tell him everything I've been feeling for five years now that concern him. He'll finally know exactly what he did to me. Missy and Bam could have told him; they didn't. They wouldn't. Bam still holds a grudge at what he did to me.
Bam and I could have gone far. We didn't try first off. Second off, we were more friends and support systems. People have said that we would make a good couple. We're the same in so many ways. Now that I look at it, I wish I gave it try. There are so many things I want to go back in time and simple rethink and redo things.
"And to your left you will all see my good mood flying out the window and hitting that speed sign." I smirked with a fake tone.
The only talking in the ride ended up being Missy talking to Claire and me talking to Bam. While Missy and Claire had a family safe conversation, Bam and I talked about alcohol. Specifically tequila and how there's a new Pace salsa that has tequila in it. I swear, if there was no Missy, Bam and I would be together in a snap. We're so weird that just about no one but each other can understand us.
I slowly rolled into the long black drive way to one of Rocky Mountain's high-roller neighborhoods. I got out first, taking Nollia with me and going to Claire's door. I picked her up in my arms and opened the trunk. I grabbed the shopping bags and left to open the door.... They don’t think I was going to get their luggage. I drove them all the way from DIA to the mountains. I don't think they know how expensive gas is; and for a car like the one I'm using.
"Claire, go play with Nollia in the backyard."
"Okay mommy!" She smiled to me and took her Pomeranian to the backyard.
"You... eight... follow me. You can leave your bags." They followed me upstairs. "Missy and Bam, you guys get the same room as before. I have three more bed rooms available. But listen up first. Rule number one: Don't fucking touching anything. Rule number two: Don't fucking go in my room. Rule number three: Stay away from my stuff and Claire's stuff. Now those are the top three rules. There are two rooms on the side of the house. In the basement is another room. And don't worry, the basement is finished and room is a nice place. The only problem is that I'll have to remake the bed."
"Did you sleep there?" Bam whispered.
"I had a headache." I quickly said. "Also, there's only one bed down there. It's a queen-"
"Jussi and I will take it!" His skank loudly said.
"Shut the fuck up! I have a god damn fucking headache!" I hissed to her and stormed to the kitchen.
I get headaches more frequently. The doctors I go to aren't sure why I get headaches so often. They instruct me to take a prescription medicine. I tore off the cap to the new clear green pill bottle and sorted two small circle tablets.
I walked outside, with my pills and water at hand. Claire spun around in circles, with Nollia jumping and barking around her. I sat down in a swinging gazebo and huddled my knees together. I smiled to myself at Claire then quickly gulped down the pills. The swing stopped momentarily and I looked to my left. Jyrki had sat down next to me with a soft smile on his face.
"Don't runaway Annie. I only want to talk to you."
"You know, you had five years to talk to me. What makes now any different other than those other times?"
"Yes. You are right. We had such a long time and we let it pass by. Can we try to be civil for the moment that we're here?"
"I don't even know why you're here." I grumpily said, crossing my long white arms.
"We wanted to visit you."
"I know Missy and Bam told you guys not to come."
"They warned us. They got on their knees and begged."
"Then why didn't you listen to them?"
Jyrki sensed my hostility. I clenched my fists out of anger. I look at the dancing Claire. She's so young and carefree. She knows nothing of the evils in this world. As of right now, her only fears are the dark and bugs. She doesn't know what her fears can turn out to be. She can live her life carefree right now, where she's safe and she's got so many people that will risk their life for her.
"We wanted to see how you were. We didn't know what happened to you."
"That's not my fault that you guys didn't keep a tab on me. I was living life the way it's supposed to be; with the people that matter most."
"I guess I deserved that."
"Jyrki, I'm not in the mood to argue. I have a mind killing headache and I need to clean the basement. I didn't plan on more than two people flying in."
I got up and left. I took a fresh pair of sheets and a blanket for the basement bedroom. I wouldn't need to change the sheets if I didn't sleep there last night. I tore off the red sheets and placed white ones on them instead. I covered the bed with a dark green fleece blanket then picked up any trash around the bedroom and bathroom. Even though I hate the people that will be staying down here, it's morally right to be a good hostess.
Turning around with filled arms I nearly ran Jussi over. So close. So so so so so fucking close. I pushed past him roughly and went to the laundry room. I dropped the sheets in the machine with other dark clothes. I walked past him going upstairs. Nollia came running to me and guided me to the living room. I sighed and plopped down next to Bam.
I looked at the tv and laughed at the show. I love Wildboyz; one of the funniest shows alive. Too bad I'm not in the mood to watch it. I stole the remote and changed the channel to 'Wife Swap'. Now that is a funny show. Women on menopause; not to forget they're in a completely new environment. It's all one hilarious mess.
"How can you watch this?" Jussi's skank loudly said coming in the room. A look of disgust clear on her face.
"If you don't want to watch, leave." Bam said, laughing at the complaining woman on tv.
"Be nice Bam." Jussi scowled.
"If you two are going to bite each other's fucking head off then..." I sighed. "... Don't do it in front of Claire."
I'm tired of people bickering. Especially when there are some people who have no reason to be bickering. By some people I mean Jussi. He shouldn't be mad at Bam. He has no reason to be mad at Bam. Luckily they hushed down and watched the show. Not to mention Jussi and his skank kept whispering back at each other. I rolled my eyes and turned the volume up louder just to piss them off.
