The next morning being Saturday I wake up to a empty bed. I get my bearings remembering what happened last night. I get up feeling my heart broke as I make my way to Faye and now Jacqueline’s room. I see it’s empty as it’s 8:30 a.m. I get my clothes that I want to wear. Tight shirt, no bra, tight jeans with a thong underneath. I then get a idea and pack my clothes in my duffle bag to only leave the room placing it in the kid’s room. Hell if she want’s Jacqueline then so be it. I have three lovers that will take me back. I make my way down to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. I give my sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, and grandkids all hugs bypassing Faye and the lush tramp who is in my book Jacqueline. I get over to the coffee pot as Faye hands me my cup that already has coffee in it. I look to see her give me a smile as I just dump the coffee out making my own. I guess she is confused as I turn to walk out bidding my family a good day. I hear Faye call for me as I walk out the back door making my way to the beach to get way from the two timing whore. Once down on the beach I stand there watching the waves come to hit the sand that awaits for the nourishment of the ocean. I take a sip of my coffee at that moment feeling my heart turn cold. I feel a hand on my shoulder as I grip the handle of my cup. I turn my head to see a look of concern in Faye’s eyes. Jacqueline is also standing there having the same look.
“ Maggie what is wrong? What have I done to make you mad baby?” Faye asks as I turn to look at the ocean again
“ I saw you, I saw her doing what I usually do in OUR bed.” I say as Faye gasp
She steps in front of me with hurt eyes as they look into my cold ones.
“ Maggie it’s not what you think Jacqueline just wanted to show her love to.” She tells me but doesn’t get the chance to finish
“ So your with her now fine I will start sleeping with the kids. At least with them I feel loved.” I say as she looks at me wide eyed before I continued “ Give me back my ring.”
“ No Maggie don’t, don’t break up with me.” Faye says as tears start to fall down her face
“ Why not since you found someone else to take to bed you slut.” I say as my words hit her hard
Faye looks down at the ring before taking it off to place in my hand. I don’t show any regret as I turn to see Jacqueline standing behind me.
“ Maggie dear calm down I want.” Jacqueline tries to say before I step up to her
“ Don’t you want her now as you broke us up. Have the one that had my heart….YOU FUCKING WHORE.” I say as I threw my cup as far as I could into the ocean hearing Faye continue to cry
I made my way back up to the house ignoring those that were calling for me to only make my way to the kids room. I didn’t want anything to do with Faye anymore. I had my grandkids to think of. I didn’t need anyone except them and Heath in my life. I had love once as in my husband that watched over me from time to time. As I cried I heard the door open. I didn’t look to see who it was as I just wanted to be alone. I felt a little hand on my shoulder. I turned to see it was Karen as she crawled over me to get in the bed. She snuggled up into me as I placed my arms around her.
“ Grammy Maggie you ok?” She asked as I nodded
“ Yes baby girl as I have you and your brothers to help me get by.” I tell her as she places her hand on my left cheek of my face
“ I hope so grammy I love you.” She tells me as I smile
“ I love you too honey.” I tell her getting a smile
Karen and I talk as a grandmother to granddaughter. I tell Karen about her grandfather and about her father when he was her age. She giggles as I keep telling her of stories of Heath’s youth. It’s not long that Karen wants to go back down stairs. I follow Karen out of the bedroom as we made our way down to the living room. We looked to see no one around until we heard voices coming from the back yard. I picked Karen up as she giggled. Once outside I saw everyone gathered like in a meeting. Heath smiled as he spoke to us all.
“ I know we just got back from a vacation on a cruise, but I want to take you all on another vacation while the weather is still warm.” He says as the family all smile
“ We going to Jamaica Bro?” Jack asks in a bad attempt at a Jamaican accent as Adam smacks him in the back of the head
“ Jacman the authorities would arrest you for stepping on their soil with your smart mouth.” Adam says as everyone laughs except me
I look at my son to see him shake his head.
“ No as I have already chosen Disneyland in Florida.” He says as everyone goes quiet
It’s at that time as all the kids start to scream as I put Karen down to see her make her way to her brothers and cousin. They start jumping up and down being excited. I look over to see Faye standing by herself with red puffy eyes watching the kids. Jacqueline has a sad expression looking between Faye and I.
“ I already have rooms reserved at one of the nice hotels for everyone.” My son says as I sigh before hearing the whore speak
“ If it helps you can put me with Faye and Maggie.” She says shocking Faye and I
“ Actually you can count me out as I am not going.” I spit out stunning everyone
“ Maggie please don’t do this?” Faye says as I raise my hand for her to shut up
“ Mom what is going on? I thought we could tell each other our problems?” Heath asked being concerned as I shake my head feeling my anger kick in
“ Well excuse me if I don’t explain everything that goes on with me. God I wish I never had that fucking dream that showed me the way here.” I state as I see Heath show shock to my words, What little brightness had returned disappeared in an instant
I see everyone looking at me as if I was the evil queen as I am taken back at what I said. My eyes go wide as Heath looks down at the paper he is holding only to let it drop to the cement ground. The kids move over to get it as Karen looks at it. Heath looks down at the kids then up at us all. I make my way to him placing my hand on his shoulder to only get it shrugged off.
“ I’m going for a walk.” He says turning making his way to the beach
I stand there as everyone looks at me as Ellie comes up to me. She stands in front of me with a stern look in her eyes.
“ Maggie that was real cold of you to say. What has gotten into you today?” Ellie says asking as I look between Faye and Jacqueline
“ Ask those two. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind to tell you.” I say as Ellie shakes her head
“ Yeah well I have and they haven’t said shit. Now what is going on?” My best friend asks as I feel tears come to my eyes
“ I can’t say Ellie as it hurts to much.” I tell her as I turn and run back into the house
Once back in the kid’s room I cry laying in bed. I don’t leave the room even when it’s dinner time. I only get up when I have to pee and hardly do that. The kids come to bed around 9 that night telling me they love me before picking a spot to sleep. Karen insists on sleeping in my arms as Dakota sleeps behind me. Lil Greg and Lil Heath on either side of their siblings. As I hold Karen I can’t help but feel that these four little darlings are the only ones that love me now.
