CHAPTER NINE
STASSI
As I fed Avalynn, Frenchie and a few of the guys unloaded my stuff. I never lived with a man, especially one so fucking hot like Frenchie. He tells me and his mom that he’s going to work. He gives little kisses to Avalynn before leaving.
Paula and I spend some time organizing Avalynn’s room to be more efficient for me or anyone taking care of her. Once I put Avalynn down to nap, I walk into my room. I bite my lower lip trying to figure out where I can put things.
“I have an extra dresser and a queen size bed that would fit nicely in this room. I cleaned out my mother’s house when she went into the nursing home and she had a bed and breakfast, so she had all this furniture. It’s brand new. She bought it before her stroke.” The bed and dresser in here now are fine but it’s a twin size bed and will be nice to have something bigger to sleep on.
“I’m sorry to hear about that. Thank you. How much do you want for it? I have some money left in my savings.”
“It’s free. It’s taking up space in my garage.” I hug her, feeling more grateful than I can express. “I’ll have John-Paul and his friends move it this weekend. Is that okay?” I tell her that’s perfect. I did some organizing of my stuff so I can easily find my toiletries, pajamas, and clothes for the next few days.
Paula left in the afternoon so it was just me and Avalynn. We did tummy time, which she didn’t like at first. I gave her a bath, fed her, and put her in the bouncy chair on the counter while I cooked dinner. It’s going to be nice to be able to eat food.
ME:
Are you working late? I’m making dinner and didn’t want to start too early.
I chop the veggies for the salad to go with the lasagna I’m making. I don’t know a lot of dishes to cook but I enjoy trying new things.
JOHN-PAUL:
Probably another hour and a half.
ME:
Sounds good.
“It looks like Daddy is going to be gone a little bit longer. It’s just us two gals for now,” I tell Avalynn who babbles like she’s responding to me. I talk to Avalynn about shopping for a crib since she’s sleeping in a pack in play for now. I make silly faces at her. As I move around the kitchen, I hand her the plastic keys to hold. She moves her hands and feet so the keys make noise which makes her babble louder.
“It sounds like there’s a party going on in here.” I grab my heart trying not to scream. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. She was making a lot of noise tonight.”
“She’s a happy baby tonight. Fed, bathed, and talking about the new crib she’s going to get, and how she’s going to be a ballerina when she grows up.”
John-Paul laughs.
“Ballerina, huh? We will see.” He bops Avalynn on the nose. “Something smells delicious.” He walks over to the oven and tries to peek in and I shoo him away with a towel, but he grabs it as he pulls me closer to him. My body crashes into him and I can feel every ridge of his six pack abs under his T-shirt. I swallow hard as I look into eyes. Jean-Paul’s eyes are my lips and I can’t help licking my lips. His head lowers and I lean further in to him fluttering my eyes closed, hoping I’m not the only one wanting this kiss.
He sucks in a breath as his forehead falls on to mine.. “I’ll go shower,” he whispers, breaking the connection. Jean-Paul walks away, but I can’t help but notice how he adjusts his cock in his jeans.
I nod.
“Great, now I have that image in my head,” I mutter after John-Paul shuts the bathroom door.
