Joe and Amber have just one very short conversation the next morning. Still lying in bed, naked, wrapped around each other, having made love several times during the night and into the morning. They decide nothing that happened before Amber crawling into Joe's bed last night matters anymore. It's the past. And they don't live in the past, they live in the present so they can build a future, together, as a family.
They don't discuss Sam, or Bradley. What happened before last night isn't important to their future. Amber knows Joe needs to talk to Sam after everything they've been through. She was there for Joe. They were friends. He at least owed her an explanation. And Amber was okay with that. She trusted Joe.
"So what are we telling everyone?" Amber asks as she trails little kisses across Joe's chest.
"Whatever you want to tell them. Or we tell them nothing and let everyone figure it out. I think throwing a little party for just our family and closest friends might be nice. A welcome home party for you. Then they can all see we're together and happy and they'll be happy for us."
"I think that's a wonderful idea."
"I know all the family we'll invite, but which friends are on the close friends list? All my close friends are on the family list. You want to invite Andi? Have you even seen her since you got back?"
Amber thinks about the last time she saw Andi. Wrapped up in Jordan's sheet , after she'd just fucked her father. But that was the past, time to move on. Andi had been her friend forever. She had missed her. "Yeah let's invite Andi. And no I haven't seen her. Is she living around here again?"
"Yeah she moved back last year. She's been in Europe getting all the venues and vendors set up for our European leg of the tour. She should be coming back soon though."
Amber stops kissing Joe's chiseled stomach. "Wait, what? Is Andi working for you guys now?"
Joe could kick himself for saying anything at all. She'd been heading in such a glorious direction now she's sitting up looking at Joe.
Joe exhales, "Yeah she's been working for us a while now. She's one of our tour managers. I think we hired her around two years ago. Right after you...well two years ago." Joe tries to pull her back to him.
"You mean Jordan hired her. Are they still a "thing"?" Joe gives up getting her back on the track she'd been on before Andi was brought up. That train has definitely derailed. He's sure it's about to actually burst into flames. "Amber I don't know what Jordan's doing in his personal life. I stay out of it. You know that's how us guys work. Come on lets go get the kid up and I'll make us all pancakes."
Amber can't stop thinking about Jordan and Andi. "You not hungry babe?" Joe asks her when he notices she hasn't touched her breakfast. His voice pulls her out of her thoughts.
"Not really. Joe I need to go get my car. I left it downtown. Have they said anything about what happened yesterday?" Amber reaches over and plays with Joey's curls. Thinking about how much worse it could have been for them. Tears fill her eyes.
"Sweetheart we don't have to go down there and get your car just yet."
"Joe I need my car. I can't get around without it. It's okay if you're not ready to go downtown again. I can ask Jordan to take me. Now tell me what they're saying happened yesterday." Amber cleans Joey's face and hands. She lifts him out of his chair and hugs and kisses him. "Okay my sweet boy, go play. Mommy and Daddy will come get you in a little while and we'll go do something fun."
"Okay Mommy." Joey runs off to his room and Amber turns back to Joe. "What have they said Joe?"
"Babe, we don't need to talk about this now. It's such terrible news."
Amber gets annoyed, she hates that he's treating her like a child. "Joe you know I can just turn on the news. I'd rather be spared the images though. I know you listened to the news this morning while I showered."
Joe smiles at the thought of what they'd done just before she'd taken a shower, and then there was that thing they did after her shower. Heat flushes his face and blood rushes to his dick. He wants her again. He imagines the things he could do to her right here on his kitchen table. But their little boy is awake and just in the other room. Not a good idea.
"Fine Amber. It was two bombs, placed there on purpose. They haven't caught who did it. Don't even have suspects yet. A lot of injuries and three deaths. The FBI is taking over the investigation. That's all they've said. Well that's almost all. One of the dead was an eight year old little boy."
"Oh God Joe that's terrible. I hope they catch the psycho that did this soon. It's scary to think they're still out there. What if they plan to do it again?" Joe pulls Amber into his arms. She physically relaxes. He makes her feel safe. He's always made her feel safe when they were together before too. How did she survive without him for two years? That didn't matter now though, because they were back together.
Joe helped Amber do the dishes. They laughed and joked like old times. Joe splashed water at Amber and in return Amber sprayed Joe with water and soaked his shirt.
Joe pulls his shirt off and Amber just stares at him. She thinks her husband is absolutely breath taking. Amber reaches over and runs her hand over his bare chest, then down over his hard abs. She runs her finger under the waistband of his shorts, pulling it back and letting it go so it pops.
Joe begins walking towards Amber and with every step he takes forward she takes one back. "We need to get ready and take Joey to the park soon." Joe keeps moving her backwards. Until her back hits the laundry room door. "I need a clean shirt first." He grins and opens the door. Once they're both inside the laundry room Joe closes the door.
"I was thinking, maybe you could finish what your almost started in the bedroom?" Amber looks up at him. She's not exactly sure what hes talking about at first. But then it hits her. "Joseph McIntyre are you asking me for a blowjob, in the laundry room?"
"Yes I am Amber McIntyre." He gives her his sexiest smile and a wink and she can't deny him anything at this moment. "Okay, but it'll have to be quick. Sit over on the table so I don't have to get on my knees."
He does as she says. And she proceeds to give him the best blowjob he's had since the first time she did this for him out on that pier.
