Madferit

Content Preview - Chapter 149

Author's Note:

            I'm missing Addie a lot and slowly working on her next chapter bit by bit. My goal/hope is to have Chapter 149 written and posted by the end of September, 2021. Life has been super busy for a multitude of reasons so writing her story has unfortunately taken a backseat. I've also had a hard time trying to get into writing her next chapter even though there's a lot in it I'm excited to get to.

            I decided to go ahead and post what I have written so far here in the Madferit short stories. I've simply copied what I have in the draft of Chapter 149 and pasted it here. It's a little over 9000 words and isn't even close to being in the heat of the chapter (and yes, that reference to "In The Heat Of The Moment" is definitely intended! Ha, ha!).

            I hope you enjoy it!

            Thanks for reading!

            The alarm clock blared straight into my ear when it went off bright and early. Actually, it wasn't even bright yet. There were still a few hours left before the sun started to rise.

"Addie, turn it off!" Noel ordered burrowing into me, the pillows, and blankets trying to escape the noise. "Addie, turn it the fuck off! Addie-"

"I'm trying!" I exclaimed reaching over and pressing the button as fast as I could.

Finally, the alarm stopped and the room fell quiet.

"It's dark still." Noel pointed out. "Addie, I told yer we shouldn't be up before the fuckin' sun is. We should be kippin' 'til at least ten. Not gettin' up at- is that really what fuckin' time it is?" He stared at the red numbers on the clock.

"Yep." I confirmed.

"Oh, fuck right off!" He yanked the covers up over himself and rolled away from me laying back down. "I ain't gettin' up at fuckin' three o'clock in the fuckin' mornin'!"

"That's fine. Me and John'll just go-"

"You'll what?"

I sighed. "Noel, we've been over this a hundred thousand frickin' times. It takes four and a half hours to get to Hawes so we need to leave as early as we can in case there's traffic." I got out of bed.

"I've married a mad woman!" He quipped. "The maddest of the fuckin' mad women!"

"Yeah? Well, you were the mad man who was mad enough to marry her let alone buy her sheep!" I shot back as I gathered my clothes then headed in the bathroom.

I set my clothes out on the counter by the sink then got the shower ready. Once the water was warm enough, I got in, and began wetting my hair. I had it all wet when the bathroom door swung open.

"I'm surprised yer didn't lock me out this time!" Noel remarked as he stepped into the bathroom. "And I reckon if you want us to save so much time to get us goin' this mornin', we should probably have a wash together." He gazed through the glass at me. "Adds?"

"Yep!" I agreed in acquiesce.

He grinned. "I'm just so fuckin' smart!" He walked towards the entrance of the shower.

"You're somethin'!" I began rinsing my hair again.

He opened the door, stepped inside the shower, and came right over to where I stood under the showerhead.

"No funny business!" I warned him.

"There ain't gonna be a need for any funny business so long as you share this water with us." He returned. "Unless you mean funny business in the sense of-"
