My Boss and Her Wife

Back

There was this day some time ago when I was a little kid when it snowed a crap ton. I mean as far as I was alive, that was the most snow we have ever gotten. I think it was about 42 inches. My cousin and aunt and mom and I, all went out to play in it. It was fun, we threw snowballs at each other, mostly in the face. We grabbed a top off of a basket bin and slid down the steep hill that was in the back of the house. My cousin kept going down the hill on his belly yelling he was a penguin.

It was so funny that I peed my pants. It went threw my pants and underwear and it made the snow beneath me yellow. My cousin came up to me and said that I was standing in pee snow and started laughing. I didn't even look down because I already knew it was there. He took notice that I wasn't laughing then it started to click in his head that I made it there. He told our parents that we were going to go find some other things so slid on and we went into the house.

Once we were in he told me to go change and he would cover for me. Ever since that day, he became my best friend. Of course, he always brought it up and made me feel stupid but I always loved him for it.

The day he left for college was one of the saddest days in my life. We talked for the first few years but then for some reason,, he stopped. I don't know why and I still don't know. I thought it was because of school and sports and all of that, but he just literally stopped calling me. And it was hard on me because I had my first love and he wasn't there. I had my first and hardest heartbreak and he wasn't there. I was a little upset but I didn't let it get to me.

But it did get to me when my mom died and he wasn't even at the funeral.

That got me pissed more than anything. I called and called but I guess he changed his number. I took extreme measures and went up to Kentucky and went to his college. I saw his basketball coach and I asked if he had seen my cousin lately. His smile at seeing me slowly faded as he put his hand on my shoulder.

He told me that he dropped out of college and left. The last he heard was that he was on the streets selling and taking drugs with some people he became friends with. My heart started racing. I had lost my mom and I lost my best friend.

I had stayed in Kentucky for a few days and one day I got a call. It was from a hospital which caught my attention. I rushed to the hospital and once I got there I saw my cousin laying in a bed with a crap ton of strings and wires attached to him. It turns out I was his emergency contact.

I walked into the room and slowly shook my head. The person who I looked up to was lying in a bed in the hospital because of an overdose.

His eyes opened and once he saw me he smiled. But I didn't. I told him if he lives I will make it my mission to personally kill him myself. He closed his eyes because he knew he fucked up. I sighed as I sat in the chair next to him.

A few months later, he actually started to get his life back together. It took a lot of work and a lot of yelling but we got there. Now from what I hear he is fully sober and has three kids and a wife. What got him sober is my mother. I told him about her and he sat in his room for three days straight. He was disappointed in himself that he couldn't be there for me. I also told him about my first love to which he just hugged me and let me cry. We became closer within years and now we have the relationship that we started with.

Leo is, was, and has also been my best friend. And right now I need him. I called him and told him I needed to speak to him. He agreed and said that he, his wife, and kids will make a trip down here this week. It brought a smile to my face to know that I would have something to take my mind off of everyone.

I was currently wrapped in Melanie's arms. Her smell also intrigued me as to how she makes it smell like that. I know I sound like a creep but she is still asleep and I have been awake for hours. I didn't want to move for fear of waking her.
