I have to go get a pedicure for a medical thing, so I will try to write more once I'm back. But both boys have a long day tomorrow, so I'll be able to write more then as well. Hope you all have a great day. On a different note: I was shocked to hear about Sister Wives. Poor guy. I couldn't imagine losing someone like that. It's been on my mind all day.
Ripley’s pov Thankfully, the girls were too busy playing with their dolls to even notice the TV had turned on or to have heard any of the bullshit that came out of Kennedy’s mouth. The crap had started hitting the fan, and this was just the beginning. Knowing Kennedy, this interview was the first of many. She would continue to use this divorce to better her image while at the same time tarnishing Cas’. It surprised me that she didn’t mention me, but maybe Cas had really made an impact when he told her to keep my family out of her mouth. Should I text Cas? Or would that add even more stress? Why wasn’t he calling? Did the meeting last this long? That annoying anxiety that I used to have came back. That thought that Cas was dead somewhere. I knew it wasn’t logical; it was because my dad died unexpectedly, and now every time someone didn’t respond, it triggered something. But that interview really didn’t help my anxiety. Even packing was becoming impossible because I was unable to s
Cas’ pov “So, tell me everything.” Ripley said. As much as I knew it would help, I just wanted to forget about today and try to see if I could break that inflatable mattress. Ripley rolled her eyes, “Cas, I can see you smirking. I am not having sex with you until you tell me about today. It’s not healthy to keep it in.” “You first.” I had no fucking clue if Ripley had a stressful day, but there were paparazzi outside, so that couldn’t be fun, and packing sounds boring as shit. But it was a nice way to postpone the inevitable. Ripley sighed, “I packed some stuff, then we went to the store, and that’s it.” I chuckled. Ripley had never been able to say anything in so few words. She wasn’t sharing, either. “It’s not healthy to keep things in...” I teased my girl. She scoffed, “fine. I got stressed when I didn’t hear from you because of my dad and the girls being taken and everything, and then those stupid men stood outside, and I tried to pretend it was fine for the girls, but it w
Ripley’s pov “Are you sure I can’t help?” I asked once we lay in bed. It wasn’t great; every time we moved, the matrass made a sound, but it was better than sleeping on the floor. In three days, we would be moving, and this wouldn’t be a problem any longer. I had ordered an extra-big bed for me, so Cas would easily fit. Although most of the time we slept together, we barely used the rest of the bed, snuggling together as closely as possible. “O, you helped,” Cas smirked, rubbing circles on my back with his index finger. “Sex doesn’t solve everything.” I argued, looking up into his pretty eyes. Cas put his hand on the back of his neck and scratched. “I’ll handle it.” “Can I ask you something?” I said, still looking up. I had been thinking about this for a while, but things had been so hectic that I never found the right time to ask. He nodded and smirked at me. “Do you like your job?” Cas chuckled, “no. Nobody likes their jobs.” “A lot of people do, actually.” I countered. “M
Cas’ pov “It’s moving day!” Ripley said enthusiastically, although I could see through the façade. She was not eager to do this. Part of me, a very big part, wanted to say I told you so. She should have hired movers, like I said, but my very stubborn and pretty girl wants to do everything herself. Well, actually, she wants me to do it. Ripley thought I couldn’t see through her tactics, complimenting my strength and ability to stack boxes like I was a child needing to be praised. Honestly, it felt fucking good to be praised. But I would have helped her anyway. I had no clue how Ripley had moved across states with two 3-year-olds by herself. It helped that she had no furniture, and everything she owned fit in the back of her car. But still, it was a lot of work while juggling being a mom. Ripley wanted to paint the girls’ room herself, with the help of the girls, but once she realized how much work it would be to paint the entire house, she agreed to hire some painters. Or let me
Ripley’s pov “Ripley?” How did I end up here? Oh, right, I was dumb and offered to do this, multiple times! We were fully moved into our new house, and I loved living there. Cas was there almost every night, and even though Cas was still not really moving forward with everything because he was waiting until the divorce, at least a date was set to start the proceedings. And then… I offered to do the stupid interview. Why? I am awkward. I talk way too much, and those are both qualities that don’t make for good TV. I’d either spill something that I shouldn’t, literally or figuratively, because my glass of water is so dangerously close to my leg that I can’t keep still for the life of me. Or I’ll say something that I’m not supposed to say, spilling the tea, so to speak. Cas’ PR guy had coached us to avoid certain topics, and my mind is empty as to what those topics were. I’m covered in make-up, in a now-make-up look that actually took almost 2 hours to apply. And I’m sweating becau
Hi! Thanks for letting me know. I accidentally uploaded chapters 53 and 54 as one. Since this will cost you extra, I'll make sure the next chapter I'll type (tomorrow) will be free. I've removed that portion of the chapter, but it will take some time for my editor to approve the change. Once again, sorry. I've been so tired, and I didn't pay attention. My youngest has been waking up multiple times at night because of coughing, mosquito bites, etc. And now he's infected me, lol. So now I'm the one coughing all day. Anyway, I'll pay more attention in the future and double check my work more thoroughly. lots of love, Naomi. Ps. Don't forgot to check my pages. I haven't posted much lately, but I usually post pictures or videos whenever I post a chapter here. I'm on F, I and T.
Cas’ pov Motherfuckers. I knew we should have gone with Patrick’s show, but my PR people were convinced a woman interviewing us would be better. It would reach the right audience, or whatever bullshit reason they gave. I am the one who fucked up. I am the supposed cheater, even though we didn’t even consummate the marriage because Kennedy makes me fucking sick. Yet somehow, the blame is placed on Ripley? Sexist bullshit. And then to bring out her fucking mom?! The only reason I stayed calm throughout the interview was for Ripley. She was new to this, and I needed to be her anker. But fuck that. Fuck this whole shitshow and fuck me for thinking it was a good idea. If Julliette and her fucking team don’t fix this mess and edit the interview in a way where we come off as decent people, I’m going to fucking bury her and her team. Not literally, although right now, I am pissed off enough to kill a few people. We walked out of the study after I threatened some more people, with Rip
Hi, I'm busy writing a new chapter. But it's been a bit hectic today. I had a doctor's appointment because behind one of the scars from my epttopic pregnancy seems to be a bump. It's sometimes painful. I got an ultrasound, but everything inside looks fine (uterus, etc.) They are transferring me to radiology. I need to wait until they call. It could take a few weeks before they call to give me an appointment. But I had to ride my bike there (30 minutes back and forth). And it kind of distracted me the whole day. I've actually been to several doctors now, and it's very annoying that this is the first who actually confirmed there was something there. Healthcare in my country is fine. I mean, we have universal healthcare and all. But most doctors are like, Take an asprin and wait for it to be over. Even after my c-section, I received instructions to take Tylenol (it's called paracetamol here. Acetaminophen?) at home. And when you get a tooth pulled, you get some local anesthesia, a
