It didn’t take me long to figure out that she’d got everyone in on her little game. Of course Caitiebear looked sullen because she was the only one not going while all of her friends were showing off their dresses and talking about the plans they’d made.
I saw the boy talking to her, comforting her and that shit only made me feel worst. Then I started thinking about everything that had happened since he came home, the overheard conversation with his mom, even the shit Daniel had said about her dating someone else.
Then here comes old man Grimaldi, the one person she knows will get under my skin and dig in. On their own not one of those things would’ve made me think twice but when I put them all together they’re starting to make me feel like a dick.
It doesn’t matter that I was already swaying, that I’ve been busting my ass trying to come up with a way to give my firstborn what she wanted. It burns my ass that this one and her kids keep running circles around me. “Fuck, where was Mengele all night? Was she inside with you?”
I knew she was in the house now because her signal hadn’t gone off or anything and I know for damn sure she’d never find that shit that I have on her and her siblings so I’m not worried.
“She was running around the place with Bunny all evening, you didn’t see her?”
If you only knew what she gets up to with that damn dog. I didn’t say shit out loud because Ms. Clueless would argue me to death about her misunderstood baby, like her ass isn’t a criminal in the making. Her spoilt ass was looking at me out the side of her damn head and my stupid ass did what I always do since the day we fucking met.
“So what do I have to do about this prom shit?” Her head came around like the shit was on a swivel. “Huh?”
“You heard me, isn’t this what you were after? So what is it that I have to do, go back to that school and talk to the asshole principal?”
“I bought Caitlin’s tickets when she became a freshman and I’m thinking of buying Catalina’s soon too because at the rate she’s going she’s not going to be there long. So all Caitie needs is a dress and a limo, she’s already got the date.”
She thought that shit was funny. “Of course since you refuse to let her graduate she can’t go to the prom so this conversation is moot.” She fluffed her pillow and laid down on her side facing me with no expression on her damn face.
“She can go to the prom.” She sat up like her ass was on fire and I tried my best to play it like she’d worn me down. Fuck if I’ma tell her that I was working my way around to saying yes for a while now. That there was a mountain of shit combined that had made me want to give in and let my kid have her way.
I’d spent the better part of the day talking it over with the guys but it was Tyler who’d put shit into perspective in a way that made me feel like an ass. Simply put Ty’s take was that killing my kid’s dream because of assholes was the same as letting them win. Heard it before but not in quite the same way he put it.
Of course that wasn’t enough to make me bite the bullet. There was still the question of how to keep my kid safe away from home and that’s where they all pulled together and gave me all the ideas that could work. If I didn’t know better I’d swear Kat had put them up to that shit.
We literally spent an hour and a half working on a security plan that I could live with if I gave her the go ahead, and then Mancini told me to talk to the kid. I don’t know what the hell that’s about but first thing tomorrow morning I’ll get to the bottom of it.
“You mean it? She can go to the prom? Does that mean…?” Her damn eyes all but popped out of her head and she rushed me. She kissed me all over my face and before I knew it she was straddling my dick. “Damn Kat!”
She was that damn excited about me giving in? I didn’t have time to think before her hand was reaching for my dick, which is always ready whenever she’s around. In all these years that shit has never changed.
She shoved her tongue in my mouth and slid her wet pussy down my cock. “You sure you wanna set this off? You know you have a house full of people.” She stopped mid fuck like she’d forgotten we had company and tried hopping off my dick. “Oh shit!”
