21 - Jellikit

~Slade’s Point of View~ “Why won’t she talk to me,” I barked to Goldie, as we stepped inside. “She thinks it’s because of the ring and it probably was, he saw the ring and figured she was loaded,” he said. I ran my hand through my hair and grunted. Fuck. “I was right there just as soon as he got close to her, but who would have thought someone would be dumb enough to rob someone on a crowded sidewalk,” he said, scoffing. They don’t care if they think they can make some money. Anybody can be robbed anywhere. I immediately felt sick, terrified she would leave me. She’d say she can’t live like this, in this world. Fuck it, I’d sell this house and move into a small apartment in a heartbeat if it meant keeping her by my side. The money doesn’t mean a damn thing to me if it means losing her. Nothing means anything to me if she’s not by my side. My mind flashed to how many times we’d made love this week, unprotected. I said a quick silent prayer about that, maybe it was selfish. But

22 - Crazy On You

~Holly’s Point of View~ I could tell Slade was doing all he could to ask the big question, and all I did was avoid it. Would I stay, or would I go? At this point not giving him a straight answer was probably just mean, and I knew it. But I’d managed to let the night and day go by playing it cool. I didn’t want to talk about things but it was beyond obvious now what Slade thought, what he expected. He expected me to stay. And… I mean come on, his mom’s ring? What had he said to her to make her think everything was that serious? As the night drew on I just laid in silence, staring into space. But it was the first night since I’d been here we didn’t make love. We didn’t even sleep naked. Nothing about Slade’s life would have to change if we were together. Only obviously he’d get me and a mostly grown kid… But he won’t have to move. He won’t have to give up anything at all. He’d have amazing sex on demand … if I do say so myself… And potentially fulfilling his life’s goal apparent

23 - Suck On This

~Slade’s Point of View~ I felt like I was the king of being a nervous wreck but being able to hold it in and not show it. Having to walk backstage into the lion’s den, without Holly was enough to make me have a nervous breakdown. What the hell could I tell everyone? So what do I do instead? Punk out and go sit at the bar. Nobody knows my face, nobody cares about the manager. Well, the bartender does, security. The little people always know me. This place actually had three bars but I went to the main one where I saw a familiar guy. “Hey Shane how you been,” I said, getting the last available stool. “Hey hey! There’s the man. Good, can’t complain. Can’t believe the guys wanted to play here, couldn't be happier about that. The tips will be off the hook tonight,” he said, nodding. I dropped a hundred dollar bill on the bar and ordered a glass of Jack and told him to keep them coming. Drinking was never my preference when nervous, I should want to keep a clear head. But right now m

24 - I'm A Cloud

~Holly’s Point of View~ I leaned back into Slade’s arms as the band played “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls. I’m sure the crowd wasn’t expecting three-fourths of the show to be covers, but right now there wasn’t a dry eye in the house and I doubted anyone cared. There wasn’t a person in here male or female with a pulse that wouldn’t kill to go home with Jude Stone tonight. God he was sexy. Far from the horny little 15 year old toad that was always naked in Slade’s pool. Always with a drink in his hand, always goading the guys into some dumb idea. But I wasn’t one of those pairs of desperate eyes. Not anymore. Even if I knew they were all hung and well endowed. Yeah, hard to forget. Not that Slade was small in any way, I was just glad he didn’t have the same love of public nudity. It was comforting to know there weren't pictures and videos of him hanging all out. During a slow part I looked over at Chase and he was staring right at me. He had a huge smile on his face, watching Slade and

25 - The Nurse Who Loved Me

~Slade’s Point of View~ ~Three Months Later~ “But in all seriousness. Slade you are everything to us, and I’ll admit we all took you for granted for way too long. Hopefully, we’ve all grown up … a bit…” Corey trailed off. Everyone booed. I shook my head and laughed, then squeezed my bride’s hand. “Enough that at least we can finally start carrying our weight. Distribute the responsibilities. Having amazing wives to help doesn’t hurt,” he said, winking at Pearl. She had a little baby belly now, and damn she was beautiful. Natasha wasn’t far behind. Bailey though? She was holding out and Trey seemed just fine with that. Juliet wasn’t in a hurry for baby number two anytime soon. There would be three new Feisty babies this year, that was more than enough. A few whistles broke out. If this is how long it was going to take each one of them to make a damn speech, we’ll never get out of here. Jude and Lukas had already been nearly ten minutes a piece! I’d only had one dance with Holl
