The following day was a blur. Angelica and I hadn't exchanged a word. Every part of me wanted to go over and comfort her but it was impossible.
I had sent her a text in the morning but had yet to receive a response. This was not the ideal way to start a dirty week away with eachother.
Life had to continue as normal in the house. Zack and Izzy were currently on my bed throwing all of my clothes into my suitcase without a thought of the creases they were causing in my shirts and trousers.
"Thanks to for your help kids. I think Daddy is packed now. You two are so good at packing." I said enthusiastically as I looked down at the mass of clothes now gathered up on the bed.
"That's okay daddy. We love helping." Izzy replied as she jumped from the bed, both whizzing out of the room almost knocking Emma down as she stood in the doorway.
"All packed and ready to go, I see." Emma chucked to herself as she walked towards the bed, picking up my trousers and helping me refold everything.
"They tried their best, I suppose." I shrugged as I placed my socks back into the suitcase.
"I'm sad you're leaving."
Yeah, of course you are. That shithead will be over in my bed with you before I even reach the airport.
"I know, I'm going to miss you and the kids so much. But it's only for a few days and I'll be back." I smiled, not allowing my true thoughts to show through my face.
"Back in time for your birthday!" She cried excitedly.
"Oh, shit! Yeah, I almost forgot about that. When you reach my age, birthdays aren't as important anymore."
Emma through a pair of boxers in my direction. "Cheeky bastard. I'm the same age as you and I love my birthdays."
"Don't I know it!" I reply sarcastically. "I have to go over and above every year to make yours better each year. It's hard work!" I poke my tongue out, mocking her need.
"Well for that, I expect a trip to the Maldives next year."
I raised my eyebrows. "Yeah and I want a Lamborghini parked outside on the drive for mine but we can't always get what we want can we, dear?"
"Very true. I'd like a man with a big, thick cock but as you say, we can't always get what we want..." A cheeky wry smile appeared across her face, so cheeky it was hard not to laugh along with her.
"You might find him while I'm away, you never know." I waited for the expression on her face to give something away but nothing. Not a hint.
"You never know...right, let me go and put dinner on. Times getting on. I'll have a glass of wine waiting for you once you finishing packing. Don't be long."
I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket as she walked out. Pulling my phone out to finally see a response from Angelica.
'Which do you prefer? 😉'
I opened up two photos she had sent. One was a sexy black lace underwear set with matching stockings, the other a racy red thong set with red fishnet stockings.
'Both 😍' I replied.
Followed up by another. 'I assume you're okay??'
Unreal. There's me panicking all day, worrying about her, while she's over there packing without a care in the world by the looks of it.
'Packed. Yeah, I'm okay. Just trying my best to block it out'
'Good girl. It will be okay. I'll be over at 6:30 in the morning. Be ready please.'
