CHAPTER 61
I get dressed in fresh clothing as my girls sit or stand waiting for Jackie to come out of the bathroom. I almost want to get her when Imelda's hand stops me and I get a head shake of no and settle back into my place on the TV stand. The door opens and Jackie comes out slowly still in her clothes I got her the night before and with her hair done a little bit but as soon as she sees my girls she stops dead in her tracks. My girls, my beautiful hair done, nails done, nice clothes and even good makeup girls standing in front of my friend who is less than a day out from being covered in enough dirt to bury a body. Jackie starts to tear up and almost retreat but her legs fail her and I start to move when I'm cut off by Mathilda. I watch as my Amazon takes Jackie in and starts to hug her. I hear sobs and Matty is right there being herself, strong and kind. I see my girls are starting to tear up as well when my Amazon finally starts to let Jackie go and introductions are done. All my girls hug her and smile; it's friendly and warm as we let Jackie sit and start to relax.
"You're all so beautiful I couldn't help but think why Guy ever even had sex with me," Jackie says as the girls laugh.
"You're special, I can tell just by looking at him. I don't have a word for it but you're important," Kori says as the girls agree.
"You should have seen him when he found out," Katy says going into theatrics about me breaking the door and arguing with my girls.
"I wasn't a good friend to him though, I don't know if he told you but I hid things from him. I hurt him and pushed him away," Jackie admits starting to feel sad again.
"He told us what happened, if we weren't his and we'd gone off and just found someone we'd be scared to hurt him like that too," Imelda says taking Jackie's hand and calming her down.
"So I gotta ask, who ate all the food," Katy says holding up the trash bag.
"That would be me," Jackie says sheepishly.
"Hell did you even eat anything Guy," Katy asks turning to me as I shake my head no.
"I haven't been hungry," I say just focusing on all the women in the room.
My girls all caring and attentive to Jackie like angels with a charge. I'm a little outside myself at the moment and grab my coat to step out and breathe a little. I'm not outside for a few moments when I hear someone walking up to me and get a firm hand on my shoulder as Matty joins me.
"Can I be honest about something and pray you understand," she says quietly.
"I hope so," I reply holding her hand.
"You are the only man I've ever been with," Mathilda tells me pausing," But you almost weren't."
I freeze and turn to see she's got a sad look on her face, I'm more than a little confused and wondering what I did as she holds my hand tightly to keep me near.
"Back after you Tracy and I did that thing in the locker room I was kind of confused and thought I could go out a little. We hadn't started talking and I was working out in the Gym and started talking to a junior, I don't remember his name, but we were talking a lot every day and we were working out together. I wore a very special pair of underwear under my sweats one day and when we were together and alone I tried to kiss him. He flipped out on me and starting going off about how he wasn't like that and when I took off my shirt he said….," Matty pauses and I see pain on my strongest girl's face," he said he thought I was a guy."
Mathilda is starting to break as I rush in and kiss her hard and deep. I'm wrapped up in her arms and surprise the hell out of her lifting her up as we continue to kiss. She finally breaks our kiss and I set her back down and while she's feeling better I see doubt.
"Were the underwear yellow," I ask getting a light nod and smile," Those were the same ones you wore our real first time."
"Yeah, I'm sorry you weren't the first to see them," She says softly.
"Mine and you are sexier without any lingerie," I tell her as we head back inside.
We head back into the room and see the girls are going through their planning phase as I start to listen.
"Well we can get more money and put her up," Rachael says trying to contribute.
"That's good but I can talk to Ma and that's a bit more permanent. She'll have to get a job to help out but that shouldn't be a problem," Imelda says bringing things a little better but Jackie's face says more bad news.
"I don't have any training, I haven't even got my diploma and I'm pregnant. People don't hire you with the three strikes," Jackie says disheartened.
"Jackie look at Guy for a second," Kori tells her and she complies," He doesn't stop, he doesn't fail."
"I did, it's why we all here have to do this now," I say still feeling like shit.
"No, I did this. You weren't able to be here because they are important to you and I see that, Guy we're friends but they are your love," Jackie says trying to help me.
"I love you too," I say getting quiet in the room.
"You do but not like them, it's not the same love but it helps me feel better that I can be loved and that I have a friend who moved the earth to find me and put a gun in a man's mouth just because he wronged me," Jackie says starting to tear up again.
"You put my gun in a man's mouth," Imelda asks as I hand her piece back to her.
"I'm sorry but we have a few problems, one right now I think both Imelda and I want to fuck Guy silly. Sorry but him going ape shit is a turn on, second if he doesn't eat I'm going to tie him down and we're going to force feed him, and then comes the silly fucking," Katy says getting everyone up and moving.
