Oh. My. God. He looks sexy as hell, dripping in sweat, with his white T-shirt plastered to his body. Oh Lord…I want him so badly. Too bad I can hardly move.
That was when I saw Mindy walking up to her little fence, waving for Josh to stop.
Bitch! I just want to slap the hell out of her for her stupid excuses to get him to talk to her all the time.
I watched as he ran his hand through his hair while he laughed at something she’d said. When she motioned for him to follow her into the house, I instantly sat up.
“You make one move to go inside that house, and you will regret it!”
I looked around when I realized I had just said that out loud.
Then, he started to walk up to her front porch.
What in the hell is he doing?
Just then, one of the babies kicked me so hard that I had to suck in a breath of air.
“Oh, not now, sweet babies. Mommy has to watch your stupid-ass Daddy flirt with the pretty skinny neighbor. ”
I watched as he lifted up a huge plant and moved it from her front porch down to her walkway. Mindy placed her hand on Josh’s arm and laughed as she said something to him. Josh shook his head and waved good-bye as he turned and started to head over to our house. I stood up and put my hands on my hips.
Mindy kept her eyes on Josh as he walked away. She finally looked up and saw me standing there, and she smiled and waved. I really wanted to give her the finger, but I picked up my hand and forced myself to wave and smile back.
Then, she called out, “Thanks again, Josh! Next time, stay for some tea!”
Oh no, she didn’t. She. Did. Not. That twatface bitch of a whore! It doesn’t take a gynecologist to pick out a cun—
“Hey, babe! You look pissed. Is everything okay?”
I just looked at him. “You enjoy your run?”
He smiled up at me and nodded. “Yeah, but it’s hot as hell. I should have taken Mindy up on that tea. ”
“Uh-huh. Well, it’s not too late. ” I turned and walked into the house, slamming the door behind me. Prick. I stomped into the kitchen, opened up the refrigerator, and pulled out a beer. I was just about to open it when I realized what in the hell I was doing. Oh god. I need these babies out. I can’t make it another month. I’m going to explode. I looked over at the watermelon and smiled. I started to take out a knife as Josh came into the kitchen.
“What in the hell is wrong with you?”
I turned around and looked at him. “Me? What’s wrong with me? Oh hell, Josh, I don’t know. I’m tired, I’m hot, I’m being beaten to death from the inside out by two very strong babies, you’re flirting with the cute skinny neighbor almost every night after your run, we haven’t had sex in almost a week, and even if we did, you’d probably be wishing it was with someone who didn’t have a huge stomach in the way, and…and…I just want some damn watermelon and a fucking beer!”
Josh was just looking down at the knife in my hand. I had pointed it at him as I shouted. When my hands started to shake, I dropped the knife. Josh reached down and picked it up. He walked over to the sink and cleaned it off before he started to cut up the watermelon. I just stood there and watched him as he cut up the whole watermelon, put it in a giant bowl, and then cleaned up the mess. He turned around and set the bowl in front of me before dropping the knife in the sink.
He looked at me and let out a long breath. “I don’t know what to tell you about the beer, Heather. As far as sex, I happen to love making love to you while feeling our children moving in your stomach. It’s probably one of the most amazing things ever. I’m sorry I’ve been working late every night, but I wanted to finish up your surprise. While you were visiting with Amanda, Brad helped me with it. I didn’t realize it was causing you to think that I didn’t want to be with you. ”
When he ran his hands through his hair, all I wanted to do was walk up and kiss him. Oh god…what?
??s wrong with me? Why am I being such a bitch?
“I’m going to go take a shower and go to bed. I’m tired. ” He turned and headed out of the kitchen.
I just stood there and watched him walk away. I closed my eyes and felt tears building. I wasn’t even sure how long I stood there.
Shit! I hate being so moody and then taking it out on him. I looked down at the watermelon, picked up the bowl, and put it in the refrigerator. I started to make my way to the babies’ room. I opened the door, and as I looked in, my heart dropped to my stomach. I put my hand up to my mouth and instantly started crying. The cribs.
Two almost identical wood cribs were sitting in the room. They were breathtaking. Josh had used tree posts for the four corners and wood slates for the rails. The front right posts had a branch that extended up and over the crib. Josh had made six wooden stars that were hanging from the branch. One crib had six blue stars, and the other crib had six pink stars.
I walked in and ran my hand along the beautiful smooth wood. They were amazing, nothing like I could have imagined they would be. I’d never seen anything like them before in my life. I smiled, knowing that he had designed and made these cribs by hand just for our little buggers.
Oh my god. I was such a bitch to him, and he had been working so hard all week to finish these. He didn’t even get to see my face when I saw them. I started to cry harder.
