La Muñeca

Part 2• XXV

•Song; Directo al Corazón- Pepe Aguilar •

Grace fires me and yelled for me to leave, I happily obligated and I knew Angelina would be happy.  I can finally commit to just her hundred percent, maybe take up a hobby buy couple dogs or maybe even have a couple of kids.  I flew back home with a promise ring in my pocket and set of her favorite flowers, white lilies with the biggest smile on my face.

I open the door to her house with my key as I look at my watch it's close to seven am, I know she usually doesn't leave to work until eight. I open the door to our bedroom she fast asleep as usual- naked. I gently get into the bed as I move one leg over my shoulder as I place small kisses on her beautiful lips kissing them making them mine, missing them against my lips, and missing her taste on my tongue. She lets go soft moans as she still asleep, I lick her with more force and need. She opens her eyes, shakes me off by kicking me in the face, "Ouch the fuck." I hold my nose as it bleeds into her bed, "OMG PEREZ WHAT THE FUCK! How was I supposed to know it was you" She jumps off the bed running to the bathroom to get a warm cloth, I sat up to look at her marvelous body running full of concern for me.

I just let go of crooked smile, for the first time I didn't have to share my love, she was all mine and I was all hers. She places the warm cloth on my nose staring at me with her big warm brown eyes, there it was a small smile, showing me that she loves me. I don't know if this was the right time but grab her hand placing the ring on her finger.
"I promise to always love you, I promise that in time I will replace this with an engagement ring."

She looks down with a sparkle in her eyes and hugest smile I've ever seen, "Fuck your nose." She yells as she begins to untied my pants and taking my hard member out to place it in her mouth,  "I take it was a yes?"
She shoved it all the way deep into her throat and mumble words I couldn't make out and hoping it was a yes.

We spend months happily with a couple of dogs and I started a bodyguard company on top of what Grace left me. She left me her hotel and home here in Cancún.  I turn her home to my office headquarters which in the beginning was hard to stay with all the memories this placed carried but Angelina made changes and we bless every single place in the house.    Angelina lite up my world, she gave me peace and shut my noises down. Every day that passed I love her more and more.

I sat at my office that was located on the second floor, which was one floor I decided not to rip apart. I wanted to have Joaquin and Mia have something from their childhood. I didn't want to stay with the home; I wanted them to have a place to stay with their kids, a vacation a gateway a place where they grew up. Angelina was okay with that, I think she was looking forward to them to having kids. I know I wasn't their father but I love them just the same. We still continue to speak, facetime, text messaging and even a plain phone call.   We were making plans to all be together for Thanksgiving; Angelina and I were looking forward to the first holiday as a normal family.

As I sit here behind my desk I couldn't help to stare out at the window amaze by the ocean view as waves go back and forth, the twins flash in my mind. 'They would have been eleven right now.'
My train of thought was Interrupted by cell phone rang it was 'Grace' name pop up on screen and I quickly answer her call as usual.
Her voice was a panic tone and I GPS her location as I saw she was at Henry's. I never told her about his appearance at the hospital, since we were going through a rough patch and I didn't see the point adding more to her plate. But I heard the phone drop and panic set in. I had to leave to Florida now.  I called Angelina, "Sorry babe, there was an emergency I have to leave to Florida." She never questions me or begs me to stay, completely trusts me a hundred percent, because of that I need to make her mine.

As I land to Florida, I speed my way to Henry's old house and a lot of emotions bubble up and emotions, I storm in with guns in my hands, taking two steps upstairs, "Gracie!!!"
There before me stood Henry, twelve years have not done him justice, I think he lingered on but unsure why.
"Wheres Gracie?"

He looks at me that I ask for her in non-formal and unprofessional tone, "Bit formal, don't you think?" yup, still the fucking asshole.
I pointed my gun into his face, "WE done passed that when I ate her pussy."
His face twitches a little at my response, "Look here FATHER, I just need to get her out of here."
Behind him stands Grace, "Father?"

She looks completely different black yoga pants, with bright yellow and grey stripes shirt with a messy bun. I smile at her appearance she looks happy and free but next to her stood two children on right and then other on left. The little boy had dark wavy hair with hazel eyes chubby round face, the little girl had the same color hair but her eyes were dark with same baby cherub face, I suddenly had the sensation to squeeze both.

I place my gun to my hostler trying not to scare the children, I move around them to kneel down in front of them an instant I love them. My body and heart knew it, they live!
Grace steps back I grab them in my arms, the little girl push back, and "A tad bit too aggressive."

I let go of a laugh as her attitude remind me so much of Grace, she had her mother's attitude.
I stood up and Grace grabs their arms, "Come little ones I need to speak to these men. Go play but not too far."
They both look up with a sparkle in their eyes, as an instant, they knew who she was. Which confuse the living daylights out of me. They both ran downstairs speaking to each another in some language and looking back at me. 
"That's cryptophasia, their own language they invented when they were three, their doctor said that what twins do."
Henry smile at the idea of the twins.
"Come we have a lot to discuss." He states as we walk towards his old office, a lot of memories were shared in this very room.

I grow up with a man who was my father but treat me like I was nobody. By me say 'Father' to the man I vowed to protect was getting my power back. We sat down on couch area as Grace and I sat together she leans over to take her hand into mine, as Henry sat in front of us and little go of a small grunt looking at our hands, I twitch to move it but she held on tighter giving me the confirmation she wasn't going to let go.
"First of all, you know am a man of few words this going to be a lot harder then I imagine. I always imagine giving the letters I wrote to both of you than actually having this talk but here goes nothing."
He looks down with grieve and disbelieves, his body was nothing like the man I knew. He was thinner and his eyes had dark circles his body seem weary.  Gracie just kept holding on as her thumb move up and down to relax me, Henry didn't approve of.

"I apologize profoundly for being an unfair, unfit and heartless father. I didn't know how to love until I had these children in my life, Xavier & Xabrina, they have the most beautiful souls and little people that have shown my errors in my life, there is nothing I can do to change the asshole I was to you or Joaquin."

There it was an apology I wanted waited thirty years of my life, Gracie extends my hand up to her lips, laying a soft kiss to my hand telling me, 'I'm right here.' I look at her there were her soft brown eyes, she has completely changed, and she's softer and warmer. Nothing like the Muñeca.

Henry looks at her soft gesture he's eyes were filled with redness, "Mistakes are more important than getting it right but they're still supposed to happen. It all leads into the next right thing" He state.

"Those kids belong to you and mi Muñeca."
That's when Gracie tense, "That is no longer me, Henry. Your fake disappearance turned me into Queen of mayhem and death. I have taken more lives than any disease put together.  There is no saving my soul; no matter who I try to save, I lose. Those children belong by my side; again you made that choice for me."
Muñeca would shot him without speaking a word, but this was a woman with self-express real pain and she was trying to be different than her title.

"I know. I had to work with Dea and Fbi, to be honest, because of you. The Elite will be shut down." He said at this point she let go of arm and stood up.
*Smack*
Was all that echo in the room.
"Please step out Perez, let me speak to my WIFE." His tone was different and in control.
I stood to grab her and face me, "Are you sure?"
She let a soft smile and nodded as once again I left her alone.
"Go down with the children, I'll be there shortly."
