it. “Go to sleep, princess.”
This night would be l ike when we were in Vegas. I could hold Kari in my arms all night and sleep peaceful and sound. I could close my mind to everything until the daylight. I held Kari until I fell asleep and her pussy held me throughout the night.
CHAPTER 3
I ke pt my hotel room at the SpringHill Suites. I actually stayed there during the day when I wasn’t at work. I went to Kari’s and slept with her after Trey went to sleep. There was a baseball game on Saturday and Tess decided to not show up and she decided not to drop Hannah off at the game. She claimed Hannah was sick with a bad cough. This information was sent via text message. I had no way of figuring out if it was true. To make matters worse, she told me she was going to be a no show thirty minutes before the game started.
My first instinct was to drop everything and march over to my house. Calmer heads prevailed. I called Kari’s cell even though she was a few feet away. I had to tell her what Tess was up to. Kari walked away so no one would know we were talking to each other. Jack Unger had his blues on my Kari. I noticed him and his mischievous eyes. I have to keep an eye on him.
Over the phone Kari told me to calm down. Her voice soothed me when I wanted to get in my car and choke the life from Tess for being so unfair and using my kids against me. Kari told me I had an entire team of kids depending on me to coach this game so I needed to get a grip. Her words worked. I pushed my domestic affairs to the backburner and did my job as the coach of the Braves. We won, 15 to 13. It was close but my daughter Hannah was missing and she is one of our best players.
Jack come over to me after the game and asked about flag football. He wanted to know if I was coaching a football team this year. With all the drama I wasn’t sure. Jack said he was thinking of giving it a try and I didn’t see why not. I was polite to this metrosexual bastard but Jack lusting after my Kari made me dislike him. Maybe I shouldn’t have told him Kari was the best I ever had. That was a stupid move. He would fuck her if he could. I’m being really paranoid.
I lo oked around the park at the plethora of fathers. I’m sure a lot of them would fuck her if they could. Kari is mine. I have nothing to worry about. I have her mind, body and love. I need to worry about Tess. She’s unstable and unpredictable.
*****
It had been three short days, long if I count the time away from my kids. Tess was going to finally let me back into the house, just to talk. I felt like I had exchanged a thousand text messages with Tess, to only get this far.
I missed my kids. She had deliber ately kept them away from me. I guess I shouldn’t blame her, a woman scorned or something or another. I did blame her. There was no need for me to lie to myself. We had adult issues. The kids weren’t a part of our problems. If I decided to coach flag football would she even let Hannah be on the team?
I put my key in the lock of my front door and it worked. That’s a good sign. She didn’t change the locks. I entered and took a curiously cautious look around. Everything was just as it was with one major difference, the house was dirty and unkept. Tess hadn’t cleaned a thing. She hadn’t vacuumed. There were Cheerios sprinkled all over the carpet in the living room. I went to the kitchen and found Hannah sitting at the table painting. There was wet and dried paint all over the tabletop. I missed her too much to scold her for it.
The kitchen sink was piled with dishes. I had never seen such a sight in the ten years Tess and I had been married.
“Dad .” Hannah leapt from the table. “Are you divorcing us?”
“No never, never , never.” I knelt to see the hazel eyes that asked such adult questions. “Why would you say that?”
“Mom has been crying all the time while you were gone and when I asked her why she was crying she said that you were
