A Fool's Revenge

Till I Collapse

I sighed as I looked through all of the wedding magazines my wedding planner had given me on our first visit. I had no interest in getting a wedding planner because I didn't plan on having some super extravagant ceremony or reception party. I wanted to give him the boot so I could do it on my own but Mike insisted on 'someone else taking the stress off of me' We had actually fought over it for a good hour until I caved and told him yes. He was getting ready to go back on tour with the guys so as soon as he was on the bus, 'Marco' would be done for.

"Why do I have to study these ridiculous books? I'm not even interested in reading everyone elses fairy wedding stories! They're all so cliche and just blah." I said more to myself than to Mike or Vic as I tossed the book carelessly on the coffee table with a groan. Vic just shook his head and sat next to me on the couch handing a cup of tea to me as I had lost my voice in the fight a week prior. He knew the best remedies to getting your voice back and this one included a favorite of mine; Whiskey. Granted it was watered down, hot and tasted kind of gross. I knew the trick and used it plenty of times. It's like tea but made with whiskey, honey, and lemon.

"Because Marco told you to go over them and pick out some things that you liked from the books for the next time you meet with him." Mike sighed, cleary frustrated with my distaste for these magazines.

"I LIKE NOTHING FROM THESE THINGS! They are mostly high matinence spoiled brats with poofy ball gowns and tacky, unoriginal ideas for weddings. I just want something simple and pretty and something thats very.... us." I sighed rubbing my temples from the stress that was planning a wedding. Since I didn't have much family other than Priscilla, it as going to be mostly Mike's giant family there and I was okay with that. I just wanted to do it myself not have some stranger try and pry his way into my life and pay him for it.

"Well, just humor the guy and pick a few things that you can mess around with, okay? please, for me babe." Mike sighed again with pleading eyes. Vic just kind of sat there awkwardly nursing his beer.

"Okay." I lied. I felt bad for it but I can't stand when someone tries to take control over something in my life.

"Why do you have a planner anyways? I know you just want a beach wedding and then come back to Mom's house for the party." Vic said before he nervously took a sip of his beer. Mike glared at him and I winked he rolled his eyes and I got up to make myself a drink. Tony and Jaime would be here soon to just hang out for the night and I was kind of excited to just hang out. I had actually brought out Monopoly just for some good cempetitive fun.

I had just finished setting it up when the pair walked in.

"Hey guys!" Jaime smiled brightly and walked into the kitchen to grab a drink Tony following behind with a small smile when he say the board game all set up.

"Game night?" Tony said as he sat on the floor next to me.

"Yep! I figured it's be fun to play and just hang out for a change." I smiled and Mike scoffed.

"Don't trust that adorable smile, My chick is a straight up demon when it comes to games."

Everyone laughed but he still sat around the coffee table with the rest of us. I handed the bankers role over to Vic because he was the only trust worthy one out of us.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Jaime exclaimed drunkenly as he landed on one of my my railroads and I just smirked. He handed me over the money leaving him broke. I had killed EVERYONE but Tony out of all of their cash and I was getting ready to to take all of his too. I took my turn and gasped as I landed on the one piece of board that I had managed to avoid the whole game; Tony's square that had four hotels on it.

"No way." Tony said breathlessly. I sat there in shock. I had never been beaten in a game of Monopoly.

I handed him the cash and everyone looked around for the outburst.

"Good game, turtle. It'll be the only one you win." I smiled with a wink.

"Can we play a card game or something?" Mike asked already shuffling the deck in hs hands.

We all nodded and put the board game away and continued on with whatever game Mike wanted to play.



I had somehow made it to my cozy bed in just my bra and panties with Mike lying next to me. I couldn't recall much after finishing the sixth round of rummie but it was a fun night from what I do remember.

I carefully rolled out of bed being careful so I wouldn't disturb Mike, threw his shit on and went down stairs to make my coffee and let the animals out to eat and go outside.

"Hi my little ones! Aren't you glad that daddy's home? I know mommy is!" I whispered happily to the two excited four leggers while I fixed their food.

"Mommy will let you and daddy have some bonding time today. Sadly, I have work but maybe if you're good, Layla, daddy will take you out for a run!" I giggled as she wagged her tail.

"I know, mom! Maybe when daddy gets home from Layla's run he will let me come with him and cuddle with him while he plays video games with uncle Vic and uncle Jaime and uncle Tony!" I heard in a little voice. I turned around and smiled at Mike.

"I thought you were asleep." I said with a chuckle as I let the two out to run for a while.

"No, I was just waiting for you to get up so I wouldn't wake you up." he smiled back as I handed him his coffee and sat across from him.

"How nice of you!" I smirked sarcastically.

"Well, I do try my dear." he winked and I blushed ever so slightly. It was unbelieveable how he still made me feel like a little girl after all this time.

We talked for a while before I had to get ready for work. He said he was just gonna hang out with the guys today and that he would take both of our furry children with him so they could run around and play and not be cooped up in their crates. It was cute that he was being so good to them already. It made me think about how good of a dad he would actually be. They do say getting a pet with your other is the ultimate test as to whether they can handle taking care of a baby or not.


I gave my fiance a kiss and went on my way to work. I got there in what seemed like a daze. Work was always fun but it all flew by up until lunch.


"Hey Dave, I'm gonna get lunch. Do you want me to bring something back for you?" I asked as I threw my light jacket on and grabbed my phone and wallet.

"Yea, where are you going?"

"Probably just to Taco Bell. I feel like grubbing out today." I said with a chuckle.

"Can you get me two of those griller thing and a crunch wrap supreme?"

"Sure! I'll be back in a little bit!" I yelled as I walked through the door.


I sat in the establishment it my two beefy five layer burrito, carefully unrolling them and spreading a single packet each of fire sauce and verde salsa then perfectly rolling them back up to munch on. I scrolled through instagram and twitter until I was full from the two hearty and unhealthy meals then went up to order Dave's food.

I walked back to the shop and handed Dave his food and went back to my tedious work.
