Underestimated Too(23)
Standing there with my thumbs in my pants, I smiled a sneaky smile and dropped them right in the middle of his grave. Letting it flow he laughed. He had to. It was funny as hell, and exactly what we needed at that moment.
“You’re going to get us arrested.”
“Nobody’s here. Take your dick out and piss on it.”
“You really are crazy.”
“I know. Do it,” I coaxed, standing and pulling up my pants. I turned and smiled at the wet spot, soaking into the dry Nevada ground.
Drew released himself, aiming the straight stream right at the sophisticated face in the middle of the stone. I smiled, seeing the crooked grin on his face while his piss ran down Michael’s face.
“Feels good, doesn’t it?” I asked, looking up to him.
Drew shook the dribbles from his penis and put it away. “I guess so, but you’re still crazy.”
I knew at that very moment, Drew and I were going to be okay.

“Morgan, you’ve got to take him. I’ve got to be on this call in ten minutes,” Drew urged, walking into the kitchen with a screaming Nicholas.
“I’m trying to cook. Put him in his highchair. I’ll give him some Cheerios,” I countered, turning back to stir my sauce.
That didn’t work. Nicky arched his back and screamed louder. Turning the stove off, I took him from Drew.
“We’re hiring a nanny, this week,” he resolutely informed me, leaving us alone to work.
“We don’t need a nanny, do we, buddy?” I sang, dancing and bouncing a fussy Nicky.
I did everything. I tried to feed him, give him a bottle, a warm bath, rock him, nothing made him happy. His little gums hurt, causing him to be miserable. I finally got him to settle down enough to finish cooking. Thank god he was happier after he’d woken from a short nap. I fed him his favorite sweet potatoes first and then a jar of bananas for desert. Drew was busy locked in his office with Celeste for hours. I didn’t think he was ever going to stop working.
Alicia had already called three times wanting to know what the hell they were doing. I lay across my bed with Nicholas around eight thirty and talked to her on the phone while he took a bottle, played with the remote control, and dozed off. I was still on the phone with Alicia when Drew finally came in, looking exhausted.
“I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Celeste should be on her way, Drew just walked in.”
“He’s asleep? I wanted to see him before he went to bed,” Drew whined.
“Well, stop working a million hours. What have you been doing in there?”
Drew plopped his body half on top of me, kissed my lips and held Nicholas’s little hand. “Selling Chicago,” he replied.
“You sold Chicago? You don’t own Chicago. How can you sell Chicago?”
“Both the stores, silly. And we’re flying to New York to speak with a potential buyer for the Manhattan and Chinatown stores in a few days.”
I tried to sit up, shocked. Drew held me down, not letting me go. “Drew? Are you serious? You’re selling four stores? Why?” I asked, looking up to him.
“I’m selling nine stores. Celeste and I have already got it worked out.”
“But why?” I asked again, not understanding.
“It’s not as important to me anymore. I want be here. Nicky’s going to be one in a few more months. I don’t want to miss it.”
“I can’t believe he’s been here that long already. I can’t imagine not having him in our lives now, and you just called him Nicky.”
“I did not.”
“You so did.”
“Ugh, I did.”
“You want to take him to bed?”
“Yup,” Drew muttered, leaning over, kissing my lips, and lifting Nicholas.
I didn’t even hear Drew walk in from his shower. I was reading, wide eyed, scared shitless when Drew grabbed my book and screamed.
“You ass. Don’t do that,” I cussed, holding my chest to keep my heart from beating out.
Drew laughed. “Why do you read that stuff?”
“I like it, snuggle up to me. I’m scared.”
“What are you scared of?”
“Stewart Martin. He’s killing all the girls on spring break at Daytona Beach.”
“You’re not in Daytona.”
“I’m still scared.”
“Maybe I should get really, really close to you.”
“Yes, you should do that.”
“This close?” Drew asked, moving between my legs.
“Hmmm.”
Drew and I kissed and made out, fondling each other’s naked bodies like a couple of horny teenagers. I loved the way Drew kissed. Drew was the best kisser in the world. I could make out with him all day long.
