It's been a busy week at work and I can't wait for this first week of July to begin. The boys are heading to their grandparents for a week in Florida starting tomorrow morning and it's just me and Rosie by ourselves in this big house. David will accompany them there on the private plane and then fly back when they are in the care of Athena and Mark. Earl pulls up at the front doors of the house and I step out. I head inside and hear the music going. Of course, they are having a dance party, it's Friday night. I undo my tie and head to the living room where I smile as I watch the boys laugh along with Rosie.

"Dad!" Alex comes running and jumps into my arms. Nate follows behind, I'm tackled to the floor by them both and laugh as they start to giggle.

"How's summer break so far?" I ask them.

"Good, we're excited to go to grandma's" Nate states.

I look at Rosie, "Their bags are already packed." She says.

I get up and tell the boys I'm going to quickly change out of my suit. I head to my room and pull on shorts after striping my work clothes off. I head back to the living room and I see a bowl of ice cream waiting for me on the coffee table.

I take a seat in between the boys as they inhale their ice cream. They place their bowls on the table and lay their heads on my lap as I eat. Rosie gets up and grabs their dishes and heads to the kitchen. You would think the ice cream would give these boys a sugar rush but no, instead within minutes they were out like a light. Their flight is early so that they can arrive in Miami by nine in the morning. So they will be up very early tomorrow morning. 

Rosie walks back in, "I've got Nate," She says,

"I've got Alex." I smile.

I place my bowl down and pick Alex up, following Rosie up the stairs and into the boys room.

"Goodnight boys," Rosie says quietly.

The boys turn around in their beds and whisper, "goodnight Rosie, goodnight dad."

I close the door behind us and watch as Rosie's hips sway from side to side walking down the stairs. Once at the bottom of the stairs, she heads to her room. She walks out a few minutes later as I'm pouring myself a glass of bourbon. I can't help but watch her half naked body walk past me and grab a glass of wine. She loves to tease me wearing nothing but a t-shirt over her panties. As she stands at the counter, she takes a sip of her wine. I walk toward her, putting my glass down by hers.

"What's your plans for your week off?" I ask her.

"Hmm. not sure yet." She takes another sip. "Definitely going to get some laps in the pool. Sunbathe,"

"Sounds relaxing,"

She nods and smiles. "What about you? You're on vacation right?"

"Yeah, for two weeks."

"So what do you plan on doing while the boys are away?"

"Relax, work out, probably play some pool. Have you ever played pool?" I ask her.

"No, never. Don't think I even know the rules." She laughs.

"Maybe I can teach you."

She smiles. "What else? You have seven days to yourself before the twins are back." She turns around, her back against the counter.

I move toward her and put my hands on either side of her. "I don't know what else. Got any answers?" I smile.

"I have a few." She bites her lower lip. "But right now I'm going to bed."

She walks away and I place my hand on the bridge of my nose. Rubbing my eyes, she's going to be the death of me. Just by the way she makes me feel. I head to my room and close the door. Looking up at the ceiling, I picture her body next to mine. I close my eyes and picture her face as I slowly start to fall asleep.
