Do You Believe? (A Criss Angel Story)

*Chapter 17*

Criss woke me up early that morning for he was arguing and fighting with someone on the phone...my guess was his ex-wife...but I didn't stick around to listen...I went into Johnny's room, and helped him get dressed, then headed down to the kitchen with him...for he was saying over and over...mommy me hungwy...I laughed at it and begged him playfully to stop calling me mommy...but Johnny refused...so I let him win, and sat him in his booster seat while I made him breakfast.

I was cleaning him up, and making Criss something to eat, when he came in and kissed Johnny on his cheek. As he sat down at the table I handed him his breakfast...he thanked me with a slight smile, and ate without saying one word...Johnny got out of his seat and asked his daddy if he could go out in the backyard and play with Chickwet and Oso...he had to laugh every time Johhny would call out Chicklet's name for it was so cute how he pronounced it. Criss told him he sure could, but told him to stay away from the pool...Criss had the security fence up, but he still told Johnny all the time to stay away from it...just in case it was ever accidently left open while he was staying with him. Johnny never went near the pool, he stayed in his sandbox, with his trucks...then would grab onto Chicklet and Oso and he'd let them drag him all over the yard laughing and squealing with delight.

Criss finally decided to talk to me...he said Shaunyl would be here around 1:00 this afternoon to take Johnny back. He looked at me, and said he didn't want to see his son leave so soon...and he started to cry, after telling me Shaunyl was planning on fighting for soul custody of him, after she heard Johnny calling me mommy...and he didn't want to have to go through court because if he tried real hard, he knew he could win...but he really didn't want to take Johnny away from his mother...and he was sorry he was quiet all morning...but he didn't know what to do....all he knew was that he loved his son, and didn't want to lose him...

I tightly wrapped my arms around him and told him that the best thing I could do for him, was to leave...and let him and Shaunyl work it out together, and I would stay away until after she left. Criss pulled me in his lap and told me that wasn't going to happen. I was definitely staying with him...then he made himself get into better spirits, and jumped up smacked my ass and giggled all the way out the door to play with his son in the back yard...I went out and just had to take some pictures...it was so sweet.

Shortly after I took the last picture Johnny got a little sick, but after he threw up he was fine...Criss said it was probably some of his breakfast didn't settle right on his tummy...he asked Johnny if he was feeling better, he smiled up at his dad and said yeah...then Johnny got up and ran to the house giggling and making motorcycle noises and sputterings...Criss got up from the ground and laughed with me as his goofy little man ran around making all kinds of silly noises...I suddenly got a cute idea, and asked Criss to go to the garage and bring out his motorcycle...he went out and pulled it in front of the house...I had Johnny in my arms and told Criss to stay on the bike...then I handed Johnny to him and told him I wanted a picture with him and Johnny on his awesome trick'd up ride...

After I took the picture, Johnny asked daddy downie, Criss sat him on the ground, and he ran to the garage...Criss turned his bike around and pushed it back toward the garage...when Johnny came out riding his little red trike, wanting me to take a picture with him on his bike and daddy on his bike...I smiled at Johnny and told him what a cute idea he had...

The battery began to blink, so I went into the house to plug it in when I heard a vehicle pull up in the driveway...I looked out the window and seen the taxi...I ran upstairs and grabbed my shit, and went out back, and waited until who I was guessing was Shaunyl getting out of the car...when she made it to the door I ran around to the front and stopped the cab, and asked him if he'd take me to the Luxor...he told me sure to hop in, that it would cost me 15.00 for that trip...I told him that was fine...but when I hopped in, Criss came running out and told me to stop.
