CHAPTER NINE

Annie lived smack in the middle of Maple Street, her two story ranch blending perfectly with all the other two story ranches that lined the block. It was a pretty neighborhood, seemingly quiet if you didn’t include the noise coming from Annie’s house. Pulling up in front Tony killed the engine, silently listening to the noise coming from inside.

“How many did you say there were?” he asked, cringing when there was a loud crash and then a scream.

I grinned, reaching for the door handle to swing the door open. “Just three little girls. Don’t worry Tony, you can handle it.”

Before I could climb down he grabbed my arm, leaning in close. The scent of his aftershave filled my nostrils and I inhaled deeply. It was a pretty orgasmic experience, to put it mildly.

“You owe me,” he said with a smile, his eyes saying more than the words possibly could. “I know,” I replied before tugging my arm free and climbing out of the truck. The house was in full chaos mode when we entered the foyer. Sheets, blankets, toys and clothing were scattered down the staircase and into the foyer, leaving a small path for us to follow.

Tony glanced at me, his face expressionless. “Is it always like this?”

I shook my head, picking my way around a knocked over chair in the hall as I followed the path of destruction into the kitchen.

“No, usually there’s food stuck to the tiles and the smoke detector is going off,” I replied. A small body raced down the hallway and I reached down, easily scooping up the squirming form.

“Hi Aunt Taci, did you come over to play?” Leah asked with her usual giggle.

“Something like that. Where’s your Mom at, or did you tie her up in the bedroom again?” I asked, setting the wiggling child back onto the floor. Tony arched an eyebrow and I shook my head. Another time, another story.

“Mom’s out back on the patio,” Leah replied before scurrying off in the opposite direction she’d come from. I sighed, heading through the kitchen to the glass sliding doors just beyond the large dining room.

Annie was lounged on the deck, a cigarette in hand and a wash cloth lying across her eyes.

“Please tell me DHS has come to take my children away,” she said tiredly when I opened the door and stepped out onto the patio.

“Not DHS, but I think you should definitely fire your maid,” I replied cheerfully. Annie swiped the washcloth from her face, flying out of the chair to give me a hug.

“Oh my God Taci, you have no idea what this means to me that you came over! I’m so sorry I ruined your date tonight,” she said watery eyed, giving a glance at Tony over my shoulder.

Tony gave a shrug. “No problem Annie, whatever you need. We didn’t really have anything big planned for tonight anyway.”

I plucked the cigarette from her hand, dropping it to the deck and squashing it under my foot. “I thought you gave that up.
