Companionship

Chapter 39

At exactly twelve o'clock on October 1st, Marcy called Tina.

"Hello?" The younger mom was groggy.

"Hey? Have you been on Pinterest?"

"Marcy?" Tina sounded confused.

"Yep."

"It's midnight. Is everything okay?"

"Nope. We have six hours until it's go time."

"Go time? Are you in labor?!"

"No. Chill out. Marshall's and Home Goods open at six. We have to be there when they open."

"Why?" Tina whined.

"You said you wanted help and inspo on how to decorate your house for autumn so you've got to move your ass."

"But-?"

"Do you want to have a bare home?"

"No." There was a pout to Tina's tone.

"Then I suggest you get on Instagram and Pinterest and start searching for ideas. I'll pick you up at five." Marcy hung up and went about preparing to leave.

She was filming herself for a video on YouTube and was cleaning most of the public rooms so she could redecorate from the summer.

She turned on smooth jazz and started cleaning the living spaces, kitchen, dining spaces, offices and theater. Once she was in a groove, it took no time at all.

She went upstairs and got ready for the day. Since she had the day off from the hospital and show (thank everything!), she was going to do as much as possible so she could film a self care day the next day before she went back to shooting for the show on Sunday.

When she made it up to her bathroom, she brushed her teeth and washed her face in her extensive routine before brushing her hair up into a tight bun. It lessened the effect of the shower that way.

She put on her shower cap then put in her contacts and took her medicine. She turned on the music for the bathroom and hopped in the shower for a steamy scented one and scrubbed as much as she could.

She cleaned the bathroom behind herself when she exited then went to the closet for clothing. That took a while because she didn't know what to wear.

Finally she decided on dark plum high waisted biker shorts with an autumn (pumpkin) colored Princeton sweatshirt that she'd never returned to Marc (or would). She dressed quickly, making sure to put on an adult diaper.

She took her shower cap off and took her hair down to brush and spray before tossing into a big artfully messy bun. She put on her creams and potions before putting on girly purple socks and grabbing a pair of white New Balances. She put on subtle jewelry and light makeup.

She grabbed her bag for the day and her phone and left the closet and bathroom to kiss her spouses goodbye (Mal was just stirring) before going downstairs.

She went to rouse Diaz, who had thought she was kidding about leaving the house at the asscrack of dawn to go shopping. She was not so he had to hurry to get ready.

She went to the kitchen and saw Manny was preparing breakfast for the house. He was in the beginning stages so she just went about making herself a toasted bagel and iced tea.

By the time she was finished with her breakfast, Diaz was awake(ish) and ready.

The two left and went to the garage to put on their shoes (him helping her) and climb inside Travis.

She drove to Mike's and Tina's estate. She punched in the security code at the gate and drove up to the house. She parked and brought out her phone to text then call Tina. "Hey? Are you ready? I'm outside. Five o'clock means five o'clock, T. I'm giving you five minutes. If you're not out here, I'm leaving and I will not be helping you decoarte."
