Hey Whiskey

Chapter 12

Juice walks in the front door and sees Lydia coming out of the bedroom. "She okay?" he asks her. "No. She's not. She told me what happened, Juice. He kissed her. She pushed him away. This ain't on her." Lydia tells him. "I know and I didn't mean for her to think I was mad at her. I was just pissed and took it out on her." he says looking down at his feet. "Juice, that girl is the closest thing I have to a daughter. She loves you. Not him. You. I'm gonna go. You call me if you guys need anything." she says before leaving.

Juice comes into the bedroom and I am laying on the bed. I hear the door open and I pretend to be asleep. He gets into bed and I move closer to the wall. He tries to pull me to him and I pull away. I go to get up and he stops me. "I'm sorry." he says softly. I stop. I don't look at him. "Baby, I wasn't mad at you. I was pissed at him. You didn't do anything wrong and I didn't mean to snap at you but I was so pissed and wanted to go after him. Please don't pull away from me." he says and I can tell he's crying. I lay back down but still don't say anything. "Please say something." he says. "Do you love me?" I asked. "Of course I do. I love you more than anything." he tells me. "Show me." I say because I know he needs to let that pent up anger out still and I need that connection to know we will be okay. He kisses me softly and then deepens the kiss. He slowly undresses me and himself before he enters me slowly. Thrusting in and out at a slow and steady pace, he whispers to me how much he loves me and needs me. We reach our releases together and whispers "I love you Princess." I look up at him and says "I love you Juan."

The next day, Juice gets ready to head to work and so do I. I pull into the school parking lot and head to my office. The work day is going slow and when I get off work, I go outside to see Lyla standing by my car. Can't these people just leave me alone? I think to myself. I walk to my car and go to get inside and she slams my car door shut. "You just couldn't leave him alone could you?" she asked me. "You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. You wanna hash this out, we go somewhere else. This is my job." I tell her. "No, we're doing this right here." she tells me and is in my face. "I told you to leave Opie alone." she says through gritted teeth. "I told you I don't want him." I tell her. "Bull shit." she says. "Sweetheart, you need to be talking to your Old Man about this. He's the one sending me flowers, that I refused by the way, and he's the one that was waiting here for me. He's the one that kissed me. Not the other way around. I pushed him away. I don't want him." I tell her for what seems like the millionth time. Next thing I know, she punches me. Defending myself, I start punching her back and slam her head into the hood of my car. The school resource officer and the principal break up the fight and before I can say anything, the officer is cuffing both of us and calling in another car to help take us in. "Miss Munson, because of his altercation, we are going to have to let you go. We can't have this here on school grounds. You can come in tomorrow and get your things." he tells me. Great. Now, I've lost my job because of this gash.

We are sitting in separate cells and Unser comes in. "You okay Sweetheart?" he asked me. "Yeah Wayne. I'm okay." I tell him. My hand is swollen, where I was punching her and my eye is starting to swell. He hands me an ice pack for my eye and another for my hand. "Thanks." I tell him. "I called Juice. He should be here soon." he tells me. "Thanks again." I tell him. Half an hour later, Wayne comes to let me out of my cell. "What about me?" Lyla asked. "I called Opie and he just said you would figure it out." he tells her. I walk out and when we are out of earshot Wayne asked. "What the hell is going on?" I tell him "Opie won't let me go. He keeps thinking I'll come back to him and stringing her along I guess." I tell him. "Damn." he tells me. "Yep." I say as we walk out the front door.

I walk over to Juice's bike and he looks at my hand and my eye and says "I had the car taken to your house. You okay?" he asked. "Yeah. I just wanna go home." I tell him. He kisses me softly and we get on his bike and head home. Walking into the house, I he asks, "What happened?" I sigh and say "She was waiting on me when I walked out to the car. Talking about me not leaving Opie alone. I told her about the flowers and rejecting them and the kiss and me pushing him away and that I didn't want him and she punched me. I defended myself. The resource officer and the principal broke up the fight. As a result, I lost my job." I tell him, sitting down on the couch, defeated. He sits down beside me and says "It's okay. I can take care of us." he tells me. "Juice..." I start. "No. You're my Old Lady. I got this. I will take care of things. Don't stress." he tells me. I snuggle next to him and he kisses me softly. "I love you Princess." he says. "I love you too Juan." I say.
