Chapter 19- What's Your Size?

Justin POV

11:30 pm, day of their anniversary

I wake up with Ashley sound asleep next to me, she wanted me to read her a book and I dropped asleep.

My phone vibrates in my pocket,

Stephanie: Meet me at the bar parking lot, come with nothing, except your jacket it's chilly outside.

Me: do I have to walk two miles?

Stephanie: Walk two blocks and I'll pick you up

Me: Okay, I am on my way.

This is for the best Anne, but I will be back, I promise.

I got up and switch off the light, then leave the room. I put my phone on the counter in the kitchen and got my jacket from the closet, then slip out into the cold night.

I unlock the gate and lock it back after I walk through it, then stuff my hands in my pockets.

"Hi handsome", Stephanie says as I see her leaning against her car.

"I hope you got food and clothes for me", I growl as I got into the car.

"Of course, but it's a long ride, so sleep", she says with a smile.

"Do you have any kids?" I ask.

She froze, "yes, but the father took her because I can't provide financial service", she says and rolls her eyes, then start the engine.

3 hours later

"Wake up baby, we're here", someone says and I take me a minute to recognize where I am.

"I am not your baby", I growl and rub my eye.

"Whatever you say", she says and got out the car, she parks inside the garage.

I got out and yawn, "someone's sleepy", she chuckles.

"Where are we?" I question.

"My parent's house on the other side of town, don't worry, they're in a home for old people", she replies.

"How many rooms?" I ask.

"Three, one bathroom, living room, kitchen and back yard with a swing", she says proudly.

"How will I get my clothes?" I ask as we walk into the kitchen area.

"Don't worry, I think I can get your size in the store I work", she says.

"So I just hang out here all day and do nothing?"I say.

"I'll find you a job and in two weeks we'll move to Washington", she says.

No way, no how that's happening.

"Washington? What about my kids, my family?" I queried.

"Don't worry about that, I am sure Brandon or Greg would love to date your wife", she says with a smirk.

That bitch, I been double-crossed.

"I held my side of the deal, now it's time for you to do the same", I say and cross my arm.

"The day after tomorrow", she replies.

Now I remember why we broke up in high school, I can't trust her.

I walk out of the kitchen and went to the living room and fall on the couch.

It's so soft and warm, then I feel between the cushion and I feel something and take it out.

I also pass out, it is a used condom, this woman is nastier  than I thought.

"I wonder where that went", Stephanie laughs and snatch it from me.

I shake my head and close my eyes.

"Goodnight", she whispers and kisses me on the forehead, then switches off the light.

"I am sorry Anne", I mutter, then fall asleep.

****

"Rise and shine", a bitchy voice says in my ear.

I groan, it wasn't a nightmare, it's real.

"What? I need my sleep", I complain.

"Sleep? You got kids under eleven years and you want seep?" Stephanie laughs sarcastically.

She is dress in a short skirt with a pink shirt and her name tag on it, with pink high heels.

"What's your size?" She asks.

"I am not telling you a thing", I growl.

"Fine, I'll just do it for myself", she says and tackles me to the floor.

She then takes off my pants and writes the size on her notepad, then my shoe size and jersey.

"Thanks, I'll see you later", she says, then leave with her phone.

What to do? I wonder how the kids are going? And Anne, I miss her.

Anastasia POV

"Mom, where's dad? He has to drop me off to football practice", Jake says, interrupting my sleep.

"I don't know, isn't he in the garage?" I ask.

"No, neither in the kitchen", Jake replies, getting worried.

"What's the time? I ask getting off the bed.

"9:00 am", he replies.

"You got thirty minutes to get to school, which is twenty-five minutes away, just great", I say.

"I can't afford to make extra laps today", he adds.

"I'll get Freddie to drop you off", I say. Wherever Justin is, he better show up later for our anniversary dinner.

"Freddie can you drop Jake off to his football practice? I got to do some laundry", I say as I walk into the kitchen area.

"Sure and the twins been fighting again", Freddie says and shakes his head.

I sigh, when will they ever learn to get along?

"Bye mom", Jake says and tiptoe to kiss me on the cheek.

"Have fun and no fighting this time", I say.

"Tell Logan that, he's the wild one", Jake sighs.

I laugh, "just have fun honey."

"I will", he says and leaves with Freddie.

I see Justin's phone on the counter. So much for going to call him.

"Mommy I want pancake", Liyah says running into the kitchen in her pajamas and Liana in her matching one.

"Sure", I say and help them up on the high seat, then take out three plates.

"Where's daddy, he promised to teach me how to swim", Liyah says.

"No, he promised me", Liana argues.

"Girls", I sigh, "stop arguing and try to get along", I say and they glare at each other with identical glares.

Ashley walks in and hands me a paper, '"it's a trip I have to go to on Monday", she says and skips out of the kitchen.

"Mommy, I want to swim", Liyah demands.

"Where daddy?" Liana asks as she eats.

"I don't know baby girl", I say and went to check on Jeremy.

He now wakes up and standing in his crib, with one leg on the bar.

"Oh no you don't", I say and run to take him out.

He giggles and watches me with his silver-gray eyes.

I put him down and he runs to the door and down the hallway. Man, he got some speed, he'll be a runner on the football team.

Then I hear a loud crash in the kitchen,

"Mommy!" Liana shouts.

"Not again", I sigh and run downstairs.
