My Story.

The beast is out.

I thought about how I could take her to buy some clothes without coco tagging along. I walked out of the bathroom and my answer was right in front of me. Kerry was taking the bedding off. I remembered that it was dry clean only. I knew damn well Coco wouldn't want me venturing out in public so that's what I was going to suggest. A walk to the dry cleaners with Kerry. I knew that Coco would insist on running the errand herself and that was when we would escape.

I grabbed Kerry and kissed her desperately we ended up falling onto the bed again. There was just something about her that I needed to have physical contact with her constantly. We rolled around on the bed kissing and teasing each other for a few minutes I was going to attempt to take it further when we heard Joe and Coco arguing again. We bumped into him on the stairs. He was surprisingly cheerful considering he was informing me that Coco was in a mood.

"I'll be down in 10. Going for a Shower. "

I put the bedding on the sofa and then headed into the kitchen. Kerry busied herself for a few seconds folding it as best she could. Unfortunately the beans and egg had welded the fabric together.

"Morning Corrine."

She smiled at me then scowled as Kerry walked in behind me. Kerry was polite.

"Morning miss Schwartz."

I giggled until Coco muttered something derogatory about her in German. She decided she was going to ignore Kerry's existence so I was definitely wasn't going to invite her on our shopping trip. She smiled at me as sweetly as a sourpuss can.

"I've cooked you some breakfast darling."

I suddenly understood Joes jovial mood. This was going to get very ugly. Very quickly. I pulled Kerry in close.

"Oh, I've already eaten. Kerry brought me breakfast in bed. You can eat it though. It would be a shame to waste it. "

Apparently that wasn't good enough. She went almost interstellar with rage. Hurling abuse at Kerry. In German of course. Yelling things like whore, drug addict to name just 2.  Kerry whimpered about leaving and collecting her things tomorrow then headed towards the door. I told Coco to sit down and shut up. I caught up with Kerry before she could open the front door and leave.

"No sweetheart. I want you to stay. I wouldn't have asked you to stay if I didn't want you to. I want you here when I get back from Japan. I want normal when I get home. I want you."

I guided her back towards the Kitchen. I called upstairs to Joe.

"JOE. KITCHEN NOW. "

I sat Kerry away from Coco. I kissed her quickly.

" I will be back in a couple of minutes sweetheart. Coco mouth shut until I get back. We need to get a few things straight."

Joe was just wondering into the living room so I told him to keep control of Coco until I was there.

"I just need to make a quick call. "

He nodded. I went into my office and called a taxi. I asked them to be at the end of the Alley in 20 minutes. I walked back into the kitchen to stoney silence. Joe was sitting next to Kerry. I sat down myself and took hold of Kerry's hand. Coco tutted. I sparked up but immediately took hold of her hand again.

"Right. I think we need to get a few things sorted."

Corrine didn't hold back but neither did I.

"I stand by what I said. You will regret bringing that girl into your home."

"Her name is Kerry and it's none of your business who I bring into my home."

I looked at Kerry and smiled. Coco was about to yell again when out of the blue Kerry said "Labyrinth"
