2391 Marijuana thought her parents might be catching on to what she had been doing in her spare time...the next chance she got, she went home. The juicer was still sitting in it's box on the counter, untouched. Dad had left a note for her, mom's tour had been extended, but they would be home in about a month.
I opened up the juicer and put it to work, had to be something I could put in it! Yes! I've invented my new favorite juice. Pineapple, banana, passionfruit, and strawberry.....yummy! I poured my fresh juice into a glass, and the rest into a pitcher, and then in the fridge. I thought about getting some exercise, and why not, I went out for a swim, when I got bored with that, I tried something else, and about the only exercise I wanted involved a bed. I drove over to Eagle's, and prayed that he would be there.
He wasn't, I made myself some more juice, and plopped on the couch. Immediately upon sitting down, my cell started ringing. I looked to see who it was, it wasn't Eagle, but it might do for a distraction. I answered, It was my little brother well one of them. What do you want Homer? Mom sent us home, where are you at? I'm at a friends house. When do you think you'll be back here to make us dinner? Since when do I have to make you dinner? Well, somebody has to, unless you want us to burn the house down trying to cook for ourselves? How about I order you a pizza? I might be a while. Ok, can we get all our favorites on it...? Yea sure. I'll be paying ahead for it, so you shouldn't need anything, there's some fresh juice in the fridge you can drink. And you know the rest of the rules. I got off the phone, and thought to myself, now there goes a great month I could have spent here.
When Eagle arrived about a half hour later, I was in the hot tub, trying to figure out how this would work with me having to take care of the twins. Stinking 11 year olds. In actuality, I didn't have a clue that He had gotten home, So I sat in the bottom half of my bikini, muttering to myself about how mom must have heard something, and this was her way of trying to control me. Couldn't they just send the twins off to camp, like normal parents? No, of course not. Normal parents don't name thier children after drugs, or ancient philosophers. DAMN! And then again with the cell phone! I picked it up from the side of the hot tub. Hello. Mom now. Mom, I'm fine, I'm in the middle of a session here. yes with Chrissy. They are fine mom, I had pizza sent over right after I heard they had gotten home. Mom, I gotta go. No you don't have to get off the phone she said to me. You need to get the hell away from Eagle. I don't know what you're talking about mom. I'm not stupid Marijuana, I am sitting here looking at a photo of you having a very intimate dinner with him. Mom, can we talk about this in person when you're done with your tour? Fine she says, have it your way, we'll be home in time to help you move into your new apartment. WHAT? If you aren't going to follow the rules, you can use your job to take care of yourself. Find a new place to live, and have your things packed when we return. You want things your way, and now you've got it. She hung up on me! Now I needed an apartment, and I had to take care of the buttheads til mom and dad got home. Time to get out the laptop. I pulled myself out of the steaming water, and went inside. I grabbed one of Eagle's shirts to put on, and sat back on the couch, pulling my laptop out of my bag. Looking up, I could see Eagle in the kitchen, getting his juice. Always with the juice.
It relaxed me just to see him, and I set the computer down, moving for the kitchen. I put my arms around him, and kissed his back. You are a beautiful man Eagle. I really wanted something stronger than juice, but I settled for my creation instead. I had to figure something out, this was just too much. Again with the stinkin phone! I grumbled as I went looking for it. Hello? I forgot something my mother's voice said. What did you forget mom? Two things, you need to drop off the twins at camp thursday. What's the other thing mom? I headed for Eagle's bar. If you move in with him, I will burn his ass alive. MOM! Do you get pleasure out of this? I'm here trying to have a productive session with the masseuse, and you feel it neccessary to kick me out, force me to babysit, and threaten people I care about! I'll deal with you when you get home, call me again, and Eagle won't be the one to get burned! IT'll be YOU! With that said I turned off my phone. Poured myself a drink of something from the bar, turned and headed back to the hot tub. I took off his shirt, and climbed right back in. There was just no dealing with that woman. I wasn't a little girl anymore, not by any means; and she wasn't going to make me feel like one again. I thought about it, and called her back. Hey, I forgot one more thing, the juicer I bought you guys...I'm KEEPING IT. and turned off my phone again.
