Once Upon A Tragedy
Home
Since my happy breakdown, Sammi has made it an official thing that every other day we go have girl time. I had no objections. We would go shopping or get a manicure or pedicure.
Because of that distraction the week went by quickly. We are currently heading back to LA and everyone is running around getting their crap together.
Having been the only person that planned ahead, I had deemed myself Laila caretaker of the day. Not like that is any different from my regular day.
I also had all of Laila’s things together. Somehow over the course of having Laila, we had gained like a million little baby things, like clothes and toys. I don’t even know how that all fit on this bus.
I have been sitting on the couch watching the soap opera that is my life. You know how in cartoons someone is sitting watching an argument and keeps moving their head from side to side to watch? Well that is me right now.
“Where is my purple comb?” I heard Ashley yell from the bathroom.
“Where is my stash?” I saw Jake looking through the small pantry, referring to his “secret” stash of chocolate that I had found and ate.
“Where is my feather thingy!” I heard Andy cry out as he knelt on the ground looking up as if asking God.
“I swear to god, if I don’t find my unicorn pillow pet, I will kill you all!” I heard CC scream, forcing me to quickly find the strange beast I had found a few days and throw it at him. I earned a high pitched squeal from him as he started kissing it. I wonder about him sometimes. Shaking it off, I continued watching, finding immense amounts of pleasure from this.
“All I want is my violin necklace, where has it gone?” I turned to Jinxx, who was in the fetal position crying and looking around only with his eyes, as if in a horror movie. I was thoroughly creeped out at the sight.
“If this stuff is so important to them, why did they lose it in the first place?” I heard Sammi whisper into my ear as she finally joined me.
I only responded with a shrug.
An hour later, all was well again. I was still sitting on the couch, in denial that my entertainment was over. I didn’t know what to do with myself.
“Babe? I think we should talk about something.” Andy said as he sat next to me.
“Huh? What?” I said looking around, only to see him.
I guess in my state of denial Sammi took Laila and all the guys but Andy and went out.
“Well, since we are together and you are Laila’s mom, I think we should move in together.” He explained to me, setting his gaze on my face, evaluating my emotions. Not like I let my emotions run free on my face for the world to see, so that didn’t really work for him.
“Well, finally!” I stated loudly as I stood up dramatically. Which caused a look of confusion to sweep across Andy’s face.
“I thought you would never ask! I thought we were going to fight over who takes Laila to their apartment! I thought-“ I was cut off by Andy’s lips forced over mine.
After the shock of being rudely interrupted, I started kissing back. My hands found their way to Andy’s neck and I entwined my fingers into his hair. I felt his hand in my hair and his other hand on my waist.
“Not that I don’t like kissing you, but you interrupted me!” I said breathlessly as I pulled away.
“You were getting annoying.” He said with that smile that I just can’t stay mad at.
“Gah! You annoy me.” I stated as I watched him sit back down.
“You annoy me too!” He said as he pulled me onto his lap.
I turned sideways so I could see him.
“Whatever, you love it!” I said in a sing-song voice.
“I do.” He said as he gently pecked my lips.
We had finally gotten to LA. Seeing as my apartment is way bigger than Andy’s and more accommodating for a baby, we decided he would move in with me.
“You know, this makes me feel like the man in the relationship.” I said as I crossed my arms, breaking the silence on the bus. Yes, we were still on the bus. We were currently driving to my apartment. Last one picked up, first one dropped off. That seemed to be the rule of thumb here.
I think I literally heard crickets chirp as I watched everyone slowly turn their heads to look at me.
“Uh, you guys are scary; thank god I’m getting off this bus soon.” I said with a nervous laugh.
“What the hell does that mean?” I heard Andy ask very calmly. I’ve learned that when Andy is this calm, it is never good.
“Uh, well, you know, since you are moving in with me. I mean usually the girl moves in with the guy right? Uh, umm, please don’t kill me!” I said as I got up and took a step away with every word.
“You are so weird.” I heard them all say in unison.
“Like you can talk!” I yelled out and ran to the back room and locked the door.
“Yep, definitely weird.” I heard them mutter to themselves.
I sighed and slid down to the ground against the door.
About half an hour later, seeing as there was bad traffic I was called out to the front. Learning that we had arrived at my apartment, I ran off of the bus with everyone in tow. They had all agreed to help bring stuff up, as we had the most.
Everyone had grabbed something, leaving Sammi holding Laila, she would stay with the bus until we were done. I ran ahead of everyone stopping in the garage to say hi to my beautiful 1973 BMW 2002, giving him a kiss on the hood and then running around him, ending up hugging him, at least until everyone had caught up.
I then kept walking all the way up the five stories to my apartment.
I unlocked the door, feeling right back at home. Walking in I found a light layer of dust.
“Ugh, I’m going to have to clean! Ok, you can put Andy’s and my stuff in here and everything else in the living room.” I said as I showed them my bedroom.
After about five more trips, we had everything up in the apartment. We gathered in front of the bus to say bye, of course we would see each other again soon. But what’s the point, without adding a little drama?
“Bye baby girl,” Sammi said as she handed Laila over to me. Everyone had said bye to Laila and Andy, leaving me. Andy took Laila from me, knowing I was soon to be pummeled.
“I’m going to miss you so much!” Sammi yelled as she attacked me in a bear hug.
“I already miss you!” I yelled back, forcing fake tears to spring forth.
We stood hugging and crying for a few minutes.
“Ok! It’s our turn now!” I heard CC yell, trying to pull us apart.
We let go laughing.
I was passed from a set of arms to the next till I landed back to Andy. He wrapped an arm around me as we watched everyone climb back onto the bus. We waved as the bus lurched forward, watching and waving till it was out of sight. Even Laila waved.
“Ok! Let’s get you up to bed Miss Laila,” I said as I tickled her tummy, knowing she was tired.
We walked back into my apartment. I let out a sigh as I finally saw it for the first time not being distracted.
“Holy shit, this place is a mess!” I whined, seeing all the bags and dust everywhere.
“We can work on it tomorrow, I’m too exhausted to do anything tonight,” Andy announced as he headed to our bedroom.
We slept that night with Laila in between us. Luckily she never woke up, we were going to need every ounce of energy for tomorrow!
