*****Jacqueline Mansfield*****

“Baby can you bring me a towel please?” I holler from our bathroom as I soak in our Jacuzzi tub. Lately I need a long soak and a Margarita at the end of every telephone conversation I have with Kayla. Today, I need two Margaritas. Since I’ve got the husband sent straight from heaven, I get exactly what I need when he strolls into the bathroom with my Cucumber Melon bubble bath; a joint, and yes, my two Margaritas complete with a lime slice and salted rimmed glasses on a tray. Ooh wee you gotta love that man.

“Here you go my queen.” Michael offers me courteously with that sexy smile of his.

“Thank you sexy servant boy, please come sit with me for a while.” I invite him tauntingly; patting the side of the tub. My husband eagerly obliges me and sits on the edge of the tub. He grabs his Margarita as he leans forward to light the herb for me as only the ultimate gentleman would do.

“So what’s our daughter said or done to drive you to drinking?”

“It’s that obvious huh?” I inquire over light laughter. “I swear Michael that oldest child of ours has been hella difficult since the womb! She was breech trying to get out of me and she’s been kicking my ass ever since!”

“She’s definitely a piece of work that Kayla Monique is.” He agrees while grinning; rubbing my nipple hidden under the bubbles.

“Get your damn hand off of that!” I order him; smacking his hand away.

“Hey, what’s the big idea?” He asks in playful outrage.

“That’s how we got the oldest one in the first place. You rubbing me there and that damn smile of yours. After the phone conversation I just had, I’ll thank you kindly to keep your hands to your fucking self.” I joke playfully as my husband blatantly neglects to listen to my request and continues on with his antics. Sometimes it’s not even worth the energy of trying to fight it.

“Come on spill it baby cakes.” Michael urges me sweetly as he stands long enough to pull off his shirt and drop his pants to the floor. Admiring his now naked frame, I’m grateful of my choice in men. Michael is still a virtually flawless beautiful man to me after all these years. Oh yes forgiveness is indeed good. I remind myself mentally.

“Well your daughter had the nerve to ask me to make Kyla talk to her, like I’m some kind of magician or something. Now you know it’s gonna take some kind of mystical magical occurrence to get Kyla’s stubborn ass to even think about forgiving her sister.” I explain exasperatedly as my husband succeeds in slipping into the bathtub behind me. He maneuvers me perfectly to fit between his legs so I can lie back against his chest. Heaven must be like this.

“I knew when Tina and Hayley called us with the news of what else had gone down, that it was gonna take a miracle to correct it.
