The day before Christmas Eve I found myself in our room watching the news about a really bad storm about to hit the area with Sandy. My wife was already at work with Malik as she had been every day since she started it has just been a few days, but I haven’t seen her breakfast to dinner. He mostly has her on stand by for any jobs that come up in his room. Today was no different, I am proud of her honestly.
I could tell Sandy was getting worried about this storm, we were going to get a lot of snow, but Daryl didn’t seem worried. He was passed out on the bed per usual, he was on my wife’s side of the bed so much that it completely smelled like him, not her.
The news was interrupted by a knock on the door. When Sandy answered, it was the motel owner's wife, Areeba. “Sandy, I’m just checking in on you and your ******., are you sure you are all prepared? I don’t believe we have a snow removal company to help this year so we are going to use Malik, " Areeba said
“Did you tell him that, he’s lazy as hell?“ Sandy laughed
“I saw him and his girlfriend come back from the grocery store. Looked like they were prepared to be inside for a few days and slipped a note under his door so I didn’t bother them”
I didn’t know he had a girlfriend, maybe she thought my wife was his girlfriend?
“Blonde girl with a massive ass and thighs and tits? Super dumb? Pale skin?” Sandy asked
Areeba didn’t even pause for a second “YES! That’s his wife right? They look amazing together! I never met her yet after the two years he’s been here but it looks like they’re prepared to stay a few days in his room with all the food they were carrying in”
Sandy corrected her, "That is his wife, not Malik’s.” Pointing towards me
“she’s so cute! She’s so bubbly, I can see why he married her. She is a bit too outgoing, though?” Areeba said, “I’m glad he is keeping your wife around, and got rid of his wife, she was very rude from what I heard. I was wondering why this one didn’t look rude . She looked like they’ve been best friends their whole lives”
I didn’t quite get what she said but before I could ask her, Sandy started asking her questions about how bad this was going to be? Once she left, I asked Sandy about Malik’s wife, "I never knew he had one?"
"He’s still married but he avoids her because of child support, he loves making babies but not raising them.” Which was interesting to me as it is the opposite of how I was raised. “It’s not that weird, it’s how a lot of black men in the hood are, to be honest,” Sandy told me. “If you think that’s bad, Earl has 17 children with 10 different women.”
“Golly, are you serious!?” I ask shocked.
“His wife doesn’t want anything to do with him, because of that. He’s got problems with erections right now, but if he could find a girl to get him up chances are he would get her pregnant!” She laughed
Daryl startled us both rolling over “Your wife had him hard as a steel fucking pipe in the shower a few days ago just staring at her.”
“It pisses me off, I try to work with Earl a lot on his problem. She just walks in and fixes it, and that is bullshit!” Sandy got upset
“My wife didn’t solve his problem. He probably just knew how to fix it himself and did it “ I responded but only to receive an eye roll from Sandy and a laugh from Daryl.
My wife walked in the door and brushed the snow off her coat.
“Oh my god, it’s so cold!” She said “I don’t have much time, Malik and I are doing some last minute preparation for his room before we get snowed in”
“He’s not ready?” I asked
“No I have to make his bed and put away his groceries, I was barely able to push the door open to leave his room so I have to hurry before I can’t get back in to help him. I promised him I wouldn’t be too long."
“He made you promise you’ll be right back when all you did was go two doors down?” I asked
“It was so funny! He was so worried about me going outside that he threw me on his bed and jumped on top of me and goes “this fat married ass better promise me I ain’t messing around!” So I wrapped my legs around him real tight and told him he can always count on me!” She laughed “But then he told me he didn’t want me to let go of him so he knew I would come back so I didn’t for like 30 min when we heard someone slide a note under the door?”
“Oh, that was Areeba! She was checking to make sure he was prepared for the storm” I told her
“Yea he heard her and then kept hugging me and said next time we promise he wants me to throw him on the bed.” She laughed, “I told him that’s hilarious and I gotta do that for sure, but yea he’s not ready because I still have to go back there and make his bed and help him.” She finished
She grabbed a few things he must’ve told her to get to help him get ready. She grabbed some Gatorade, water, an old bra I haven’t seen her wear in a while, booty shorts that I know don’t fit anymore cause they’re old and she has gained too much weight, and the leftovers I brought home from McDonald’s when I started the other day. She kissed me and said she’ll be right back to us and went over to Malik’s quickly before she got stuck in a blizzard. She did forget her phone which sucked because within 30 minutes I found her to be snowed in at Malik’s room without it. We could only talk through his phone but Sandy hasn’t given me the number, poor girl, I am worried about her.
