Christmas With The Houstons (Acceptance #4) Read Online Free PDF Page A

women I’ve ever seen. BUT her issues are hers and they’re legit in her mind. I know you can’t stop women from looking at you or hitting on you… just like she can’t stop men from doing the same to her.”
    My head is swimming in a nice, drunken fog to the beat of the waves crashing against the shore and yet even with my muddled state of mind, I know there’s a ‘but’ coming.
    “ But it probably wasn’t the best idea to work in the yard with your shirt off. Let alone continue to do it while you knew the housewives were watching. Especially since you know that Trina chick doesn’t like April and has the fucking hots for you.”
    “I don’t know that for sure,” I answer stubbornly.
    “Cut the shit, Jake! If you want to hit it with the hot neighbor, that’s a whole different conversation we need to be having.”
    “Fuck you, Mike! I don’t want to hit it with the hot neighbor. The only person I want to hit it with is my goddamned wife!”
    “So you do think she’s hot?”
    “Sure, she’s hot in that ‘calendar girl’ kind of way. You’ve seen her… Super skinny, thigh gap for days, curvy ass, and fake-ass titties. If you like that kind of girl, she’s smoking hot.”
    The suspicious look he’s giving me makes me uneasy.
    “ But she’s not my type. I’ve never been one for blondes, no offense.”
    “None taken,” he replies with a smirk
    “And while that thigh gap shit works for some men, I don’t give a fuck one way or the other about a thigh gap. Honestly, sometimes that shit looks creepy as fuck. I like April’s curves. I fucking love that she isn’t too petite and dainty. I’m a big fucking guy. I was a mother fucking football player. Do you have any clue how awkward it would feel to have someone that small under me? Hell, I don’t want to feel like I’m going to break a woman during sex. I want someone I can fuck as hard as I want, who will fuck me back just as hard. I need a woman with curves everywhere. I just need my fucking wife, Mike.”
    His answering smile is proof that’s all he wanted to hear.
    “Alright then, back to Trina. She’s been rude to April at every event you’ve hosted at your house when you’ve invited your neighbors. April has always been nice to her even though it’s visible it kills her to do so.”
    Has she really been that nasty to April? Did I really never notice?
    “I’ve never noticed.”
    He nods and shoots me a smile. “I know, because as much as we all love our women, I’ve never seen a motherfucker in love with his wife as much as you are with April. You don’t notice because you never take your eyes off of her. A single, rich mom in the neighborhood is going to be your worst nightmare. Especially one who provokes your wife and eye fucks you every chance she gets.”
    “I can’t help how she sees me. I don’t want her.”
    “So how can you fault April for the same?”
    Bastard.
    “Touché, Mike.”
    “Look, Jake, I’m happy to stay here with you tonight and drink away every issue we have. It’s been a long time since we’ve done this, but do me a favor and text your wife. I don’t care what you say to her as long as you let her know you’re okay, with me, and you’ll see her tomorrow.”
    “Yeah, okay.” As I pull out my phone from my pocket, I’m trying to figure out what to say to my wife. I was an ass of epic proportions tonight and I don’t know how to make this right.
    With Mike – drunk off my ass. I’ll be home tomorrow. Sorry I was an ass. You never have to worry about Malibu Barbie. My heart belongs only to you.
    “There, that wasn’t so bad, was it?”
    “Nah, I needed to text her. She’s going to be fucking pissed. I broke our number one rule…never leave angry.”
    “It will be okay. You might just have to grovel for a while. So you want to tell me what else is going on with you? I haven’t seen or talked to you in a month or more. You guys just trying to enjoy your alone time before the baby comes or
