"That great news brother." Zeus responds.
"Is there is anything else we need to discuss?" Zeus asks.
Everyone shakes their heads no.
"Go do whatever it is you do." Zeus says as he hits the table with the gavel again.
I see that quite a few guys stay to talk to Thorpe. I shake my head and wish them all the best of luck. She got around more than I realized. I go to the bar and Destiny's behind the counter. I ask her for a beer. She grabs me a beer and when she sits it down in front of me sticks her tits out and flips her hair to one side.
"Do you need anything else Titan?" She asks.
"Naw. I'm good." I tell her.
"Titan it's been a long time since I've had that big pierced cock of yours. I'm going through withdraws. I like the way you fuck me. You can do anything you want to me. I'll let you fuck me in any hole. Nobody has to know. I know you have an old lady now, but will she let you do to her what I will. I'll be your dirty little secret. I know how you like it rough and the dirtier and nastier the better. I bet she won't let you do the things to her that I let you do to me." She says to me.
"I've got an old lady. If you want to keep your position here; you should learn some fucking respect for The President, his daughter which happens to be my fucking old lady, and for me. Get the fuck away from me fucking cunt." I respond.
She gets a look on her face and scurries to the other side of the fucking bar. When I turn around the Zeus is behind me. He puts his hand on my shoulder and gives it a squeeze.
"I heard what was said on both sides. I'll tell all the sweet butts that you're of the fucking market. If they want to stay here, they're not to approach you to fuck. If I find out that they have. They'll be out on their asses." He says to me.
"I appreciate that brother."
I finish my beer and put it on the bar. I pull some money out of my pocket and stick it under the bottle.
"Good night. I want to get home to my old lady." I tell Zeus.
He smiles and tells me he'll be by tomorrow.
Chapter 27
Lyric
I turned the Alarm system on after Dean left because I knew I was going to be spending my evening in a nice hot bath. I went to the kitchen and started the dishwasher. I made my way up to our room to start the water for my bath. I grabbed my robe and phone so I could listen to some music while I relaxed in the in hot water. Today was a fucking stressful day. I'm happy that my man isn't the father of Marley's kid. I was serious when I told her I would rain hell down on her. If I have to I still will if the child belongs to any of my family members. I get undresses and I look in the mirror at myself. I don't even recognize the person looking back at me. The person in the mirror has a glow and lightness about her that I've never seen before. She has happy eyes and a small smile on her face. I look at myself and think I'm grateful for running into Nic at that day. It's changed mine and my kids' whole life for the better. I was scared of letting Dean have my heart when I first saw him that day. He has changed his appearance but he's fundamentally the same as he was when we were younger. I start the music and sink into the hot bath and I close my eyes as I exhale. I'm thinking about earlier today and what I said to Marley. I realize that I haven't talked to my best friend since all this has happened. I grab the washcloth that's on the side of the tub. I dry my hands off and grab my phone. I turn the music off and dial Jess' number. I figure she's just leaving the office right now. I know the crazy woman's still at the office. That's all she seems to do now days. The phone rings on my end three times before she answers.
"Hello Bestie." She says to me.
"Hi sister it's been too long since I've heard your voice." I say to her.
"I've been working on a big case. Sorry I haven't called in a couple of weeks. How's my niece and nephew?"
"They're doing great. They miss you like crazy."
"Spill your guts lady." She says to me.
She must have heard something in my voice. I laugh and tell her what's happened to us in the last couple of weeks. She gets super quiet on her end.
"Are you still there?" I ask
"I'm still here." She responds.
She asks me about Pete and that question throws me off.
"He's my dad's half-brother. He's forty-three has Brown hair, Hazel eyes, light tan skin, slender, and is six feet tall." I tell her.
"Are you okay?" I ask because she has gone quiet.
"I think Pete might be my father. There's a Pete Thorne listed as my father on my birth certificate. When I was emancipated I tried looking for him. I didn't even know where to start so I did a computer search. None of the Pete Thorne's listed were who I was looking for." She says and her response blows me away. I'm stunned for a minute
"Jess we don't even need his DNA. His mama and half-brother are here in town. All you have to do is overnight me your hair from your scalp. Or some gum you chewed in a pill bottle or something like that." I say to her.
"I've built up quite a bit of vacation time. I'll just come there in person, crazy." She says with a laugh.
I know she doesn't take vacations or time off. The last time she took time off; it was for a weekend pop in for Christmas with me and the twins.
"When do you think you could be here?" I ask excitedly.
I hear her doing something on her side of the line. She tells me to give her a second. I'm excited and I hope she'll be here by this weekend. I can't wait to tell Dean that she might be my blood cousin. Then my thoughts are on my dad and my grandparents. Mamaw and papaw went from having no grandchildren to maybe having two.
"I can't fly out for another month. I've already booked the flight though. I'll land in Knoxville, TN." She tells me after a minute.
I give a little scream of excitement and next thing I know Titan has busted the door down with a gun in his hand. He's looking for someone that's not in here with me. I really scream and Jess starts screaming on her end.
"What're you screaming about?" Dean yells at me.
I have one hand on my heart and I'm trying to get my composure back. I still have Jess on the line yelling.
"What's going on? Are you okay? Do I need to call the cops?" She says frantically.
"No don't do that. I'm fine." I tell Jess.
"I'm okay honey. I'll explain everything in a minute. Please put the gun away." I say to Dean.
He looks at me and I know I have some serious explaining to do when I get off of the phone.
"Dean heard me scream and came rushing in to kill whoever it was inside the bathroom with me." I tell Jess.
"You're in for in it now sister. I'm happy for you and I'll see you in a month." She says to me with laughter in her voice.
I tell her to text me all her flight information and she tells me she will. We tell each other that we love one another and we hang up. I get out of my bath and put my robe on. I go into the bedroom where my old man's sitting in the chair taking his boots off.
"I love you and I'm sorry I scared you." I say as I sit on his lap.
"What the fuck's going on babe?" He grunts.
I start to retell the story as he puts his arms around me and I relax into him. He holds me and listens to what I have to say. When I get to the end he laughs and shakes his head.
"When will her flight information be sent to you baby?" He asks me.
I get my phone out of my robe pocket and I tell him I have it. I open the text and we see that she has sent me her itinerary.
"I'll ask one of the old ladies to get the twins from school that day. We'll drive down and get her." He says to me.
I start bouncing on his lap because I'm so excited. I feel him start to get hard under my ass.
"You need to stop doing that. Be a good girl because we're not done talking yet." He growls in my ear.
I stop bouncing and settle back into him.
"I need to call your dad babe and give him a heads up. Your dad might want tell his parents now. He'll probably come and get you so you can explain the situation to your mamaw and papaw. Get dressed babe." He tells me.
I get up and go to the closet. He's already on the phone with daddy.
"Your dad's on his way to get you babe." He says as he walks into the closet.
I throw on some leggings and a hoodie along with my converse. I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth and hair. I pull my hair into a messy bun. Titan comes up behind me and kisses the crook of my neck. He tells me that our whole world's changing again. I nod confirming that he's right. We walk down the stairs and I see dad's truck lights as he's pulling up. I give my man a kiss good bye.
"I won't be gone to long honey." I say to him.
