Playing House

Chapter 20

Oh thank goodness we're finished. I'm in even more pain then I was before. We had to clean everything. I mean the walls, floor, the whole kitchen, the piano, THE FUCKING COUCHES! How the hell does a little girl and a teenager make such a huge mess? Then again Trina isn't very mature. Jade owes me big time.

"You ready?" Jade asks making me open my eyes as I look up at her has I lay across the now clean couch. I nod but still not moving. Jade laughs grabbing my hanging arm that's off the couch and pulling me gently. I muster all the strength in me to sit up. Jade pulls more making me stand up and I hiss as so much pain rushes through each part of my body. She pulls me against her rubbing my back and sides doing something with her fingers as she pushes against certain parts and it feels soooo good. It's mind blowing. I moan quietly laying my head on her shoulder.

"Why were you limping all day?" I hear Trina asks but I don't respond because Jade is working with her magic fingers.

"She just had a rough day." Jade says still not stopping her mini massage.

"What did you do to my sister?" Trina asks trying to sound hard. I feel Jade stop and she holds onto my waist tight. I can tell she is trying to keep from kicking the hell out of Trina. I can partially feel the death glare she's sending to Trina.

"I-"

"Trina don't worry aboutit." I jump in not really in the mood for them arguing and I don't want Jade to embarrass me by saying what she did meaning if she does Trina would probably try to fight Jade. Really not in the mood for that. I pull away from Jade kissing her softly before I turn around looking at Trina who is look skeptical. I ignore her going to the little couch and grabbing Liz's car seat with Liz in it and heading back to the door. Jade goes in picks up an exhausted Jess that's sleeping on top of the piano with an half eaten pizza slice next to her.

"You really don't think I'm just going to let this go do you?" Trina says more of a statement than a question.

"You would if you know what's good for you." Jade barks at Trina as she comes stand by me at the door.

"Trina let it go I'm fine." I say and, I can tell by the look on her face, she is not going to let it go.

"But-"I pull out a fifty dollar bill and she shuts up taking without hesitation. I roll my eyes at how easy she is to shut up. Jade opens the door letting me go out first. I get to the car strapping a sleeping Liz in as she straps in a sleeping Jess. It's nine something so it is past their bed time. Jade pulls out of the drive way and we're headed home.

"What do you think we should do with her?" Jade asks looking over at me then back at the road.

"Sorry I'm not really up for punishing little kids. Plus she's your little sister. I say making Jade roll her eyes.

"I take it that when we have our own kids I'm going to be the 'mean parent'? Because I like making them sit in time out." Jade says making me laugh quietly.

"No I'll be the more of the 'mean parent' because I won't let them eat a cookie before dinner or won't let them have five more minutes to watch TV before bed. You'll be the 'fun parent' because you'll sneak in take one while I'm not looking. And talk me into letting them have five minutes." I say making us both laugh. "We both will know when to put our foot down. But this is different because she's your little sister." I say and she nods.

"Your sister is going to be pissed if she has to cut all of her hair out." Jade says chuckling a little.

"Knowing Trina she will find another way to get that gum out of hair instead of cutting it out." I say making Jade nod in a agreement.

"True your sister is a true diva." Jade says and it's my turn to nod in agreement. Yes,sheis the BIGGEST diva I know. Jade and I have a light conversation as we drive home. Once we get home, Jade and I get the kids ready for bed. I change Liz's diaper and put her in a cute white night top that as a little 'Bratz' baby on it with that little eyes covering thing on her eyes sleep with the little pink words over her sleeping form saying 'Shh Getting My Beauty Sleep.' I can't help but smile. This kid is going to have such a big head. I smile laying her down in the crib kissing her forehead turning on the night light and baby monitor before leaving out, leaving the door cracked. I look down the hall and see Jess's light still on. I guess Jade still didn't finish getting Jess ready for bed. I walk down the hall stopping at Jess's door choking back a laugh as Jade struggles to get Jess into her pajama top because Jess is like dead weight and she's kind of fighting Jade in her sleep. Jade looks so frustrated. I just watch and Jess is still fighting Jade in her sleep. I giggle and Jade looks back at.
