Insecurity and a Bottle of Merlot Read Online Free PDF

“Really? Great timing. It’s raining like a son of a gun and you have to go outside? Fine, I’m up.”
    “Babe, I can walk Reggie, I don’t mind. What time is it anyway?”
    “It’s seven o’clock, Aaron. You can sleep for another hour.” She kissed him and gave his shaft a teasing stroke.
    “You’re the devil in disguise,” he moaned, as his erection began to grow.
    “No can do, mister,” she squealed, as Aaron tried to pull her back into bed. “Reggie’s going to pee on the floor.”
    “I’ll clean it up, I promise,” he pleaded.
    “Go back to sleep, you goof. I’ll be back in fifteen minutes.”
    “Naw, I’m awake now. I’ll start the coffee, then you can start me when you get back,” he said, with that gorgeous grin.
    “What am I going to do with you? Never mind, it’s already obvious.” Mia slid the rain jacket over her head and grabbed an umbrella. She put the leash on Reggie’s collar and they bolted out into the morning downpour.
    Aaron slipped on his sweats and stumbled sleepily into the kitchen to make coffee. He hadn’t poured the water into the coffeemaker yet when he heard the front door open. Wow, Reggie really had to go . He reached in the cabinet and pulled out two coffee cups, placing them on the counter. Aaron turned, expecting Mia and Reggie to come around the corner. Their eyes locked on each other, their bodies froze where they stood. Instincts told Jack to run. Instincts told Aaron to chase him. Aaron grabbed Jack by the arm and wrestled him to the floor in the foyer. They threw wild punches at each other until one of Aaron’s connected, tearing into Jack’s lip. Jack was cornered against the wall, giving him little opportunity to escape.
    “C’mon Reggie, hurry up. You’re soaked and I am too. Just go to the bathroom already.” Reggie finally did his business, and as Mia rounded the last corner to go home, it sat parked in front of her. Jack’s BMW was along the curb a block and a half from her front door. “Oh God, no. Hurry, Reggie, let’s go home.” Mia ran as fast as she could with Reggie leading the way. She reached the sidewalk and threw open the front door to find Aaron and Jack in the foyer. Jack was cornered, sitting against the wall with Aaron hovering above him, blocking the only exit.
    “Mia, wait in the kitchen and hang on to Reggie. I’ve already called the police,” Aaron said, anxiously.
    “You bitch! You ruined my life. My career is gone because of you. You’re gonna pay, I swear to God you’ll be sorry,” Jack yelled toward the kitchen where Mia paced.
    “Shut the hell up, Jack, or I’ll shut your mouth myself,” Aaron spewed.
    “No, Aaron, let me take care of this,” Mia said, as she furiously stormed toward Jack. “You’ve been a piece of shit and wasted three years of my life. You treated me like dirt, and cheated on me the entire time. All I ever wanted was to be happily married and have a family. You made sure that would never happen. You’re cruel and arrogant. You’re nothing but a loser, always have been, and always will be. The only thing you deserve is this.” Mia wound up and slapped Jack across the face as hard as she could. His cheek welted red immediately.
    “Don’t even try it,” Aaron said, as Jack started to get up.
    The blaring sound of sirens got closer. Two squad cars pulled up in front of Mia’s house. Officers Lenard and Owens of the Tarrytown police department came inside. “Mia, Jack, Aaron, what’s going on here?” Officer Owens asked.
    Mia explained she and Jack were divorcing and how she changed all the locks on the doors. Jack somehow sneaked in and stole her spare house key. He trespassed on a number of occasions already, plus he threatened her. She wanted to press charges against him, and she also wanted an order of protection filed.
    “Jack, empty your pockets,” Officer Lenard said. Jack did, and on his own key ring was Mia’s spare house key. “Okay, let’s go. We’re taking you
