Destiny (17 page)

“No, I can’t just do that.  I mean I have it, but I want her working at the office.  I’m not going to be the only female around a bunch pig headed baboons all day.

“Pig heided baboons?  Are ye calling me a pig heided baboon Love?”  I turn and wrap my arms around his waist and I feel his hardness on my belly.  Hard just from sitting like this.

“No honey, you are perfect.”  I kiss him.

“Oh come on you two, Brody, why did you bring your woman, you have now ruined guys night.”  Brody gives him the finger while still kissing me.  He pulls away.

“Git tae fuck.  By the end of the night ye’ll huv some woman heided hame wi ye and warming yer bed.”  Eric smirked knowing Brody was right.

“Yea but that is later, I haven’t had enough to drink yet to sit here while you two suck face and grope each other.”

“Stert drinking mate.”  And Brody kisses me, fucking my mouth.  Shit, not now.  Not with Eric sitting there.  I barely hear a clearing of a throat and then I hear Eric.

“What are you doing here?”  I stop kissing Brody and turn to see Jazzy arrived.

“Ummm,  Annie invited me.”  She says giving him a glare.

“JAZZY!! You made it!”  I jump up and give her a hug.

“Yea I did, but you didn’t tell me that he would be here.  And who is the man candy that’s all over you?” She whispers to me.  I show her my ring and she gasps, and I put my finger to my lips saying shhhh.

“He’s Brody.”

“You mean-“

“Yes, as in our boss, as in Eric’s partner and best friend.”

“Damn girl, you could have told me.”

“Yes, but would you have come if I did?”

“No, probably not.”  I motion for us to sit and I sit back next to Brody and he immediately pulls me into him again.  He reachs out to shake Jazzy’s hand.

“Nice tae meet ye Jasmine.  I’m Brody.  Welcome tae the company.”  Jazzy takes the seat next to Eric, and he slides all the way over as far away from her as he can.  I look at Brody giving him the “see.”  look and he answers back, Just wait.

“Thank you, I’m glad to be working for you.  That’s an accent you have, yes?  Where are you from?”

“Scotland.”

“Wow,
I hear its beautiful over there.”

“Sure it is, if ye like aw the rain pishin doon on ye maist of the time.”

“Yea, no.  I don’t care for the rain, but I’m sure you get some days it doesn’t rain.”  Brody shrugs his shoulders.  Meanwhile, Eric had flagged down the waitress.  He orders another beer for himself.  Brody orders a beer and sex on the beach for me.

“What would you like Jasmine?”  Eric asks her.

“I’ll have sex on the beach too.” She answers and I swear I hear Eric groan.  I look at his fits and they are clenched so tight that they are turning white.  Brody nudges me and I look at him.  He is smiling.  I just shrug my shoulders.  Ok, maybe he does like her.  We all chat and drink a few drinks, before I ask Jazzy if she wanted to dance.  She nods yes.  We go over to the small but crowded floor.

“Jazzy, do you like Eric?”

“What!”  Why would you think that?”

“Well, I see the way you look at him, your body language and the fact that you guys act like you hate each other to death.”  She looks at me shock, like she can’t believe I fingured out her secret.

“Oh, god Annie, promise me, promise you won’t tell him or Brody.  Don’t tell anyone.  Please.”

“Jazzy, calm down it’s ok.”

“No it’s not.  He’s my boss.”

“So.  Brody is my boss and look where I am.”

“That’s different.  You two met before you started working for them, and didn’t even know.”

“Jazzy.  He likes you too.”

“No, no he doesn’t.”

“Yes he does.  Brody told me and I can see it now.”

“If he did he wouldn’t be such asshole to me.”

“He’s an asshole because he likes you.”

“Annie that doesn’t make sense.”

“Think about it,”  I use Brody’s analogy,  “When little boys like little girls what do they do?  They are mean to her.  They pick on her, pull her hair etc.  That is how Eric is showing you he likes you.”

“No way.”

“Jazzy I saw him starring at your chest!  I then saw him try to discreetly adjust himself, by shifting in his seat.”  She stops dancing.

“Really?”

“Really, Just look, he’s starring at you now.”  We look over to the guys and sure enough they are starring.

“Well, it doesn’t matter, he’s the boss and I’m not getting involved with him.” 

“Okay.”  I look back over to Brody and he is burning a hole into me.  His eyes are lust filled, he is really struggling to stay there.  I give him a little wiggle and sway down to the ground like I did the other night to him and he is up and striding towards me.

“Are ye teasing me Love?”

“Maybe, you liking the show?”

“Very much.”  I hook my fingers into his belt loops and shimmy down his front and back up again.  He grabs my ass and pulls me into his hard cock and begins rolling and swaying his hips. 

“Brody, shit.  Brody, behave we are here with friends.”

“Baby, it’s so hard tae behave wi ye roond.  I wan tae make love tae ye aw the time.”  He kisses my neck and down to my collarbone and licks back up to my mouth and thrust his tongue in, licking, sucking, biting.

“Oh, god Brody, you are making me so wet.”  I whisper to him.

“Good, cause ye huv made me so fucking hard I could come in ma pants again, Love.”  Then Jazzy comes over and taps my shoulder.

“I think I’m going to get going now.” She says.

“What no, it’s only-“

“One in the morning, Love.  We should be getting hame too membur we are going tae ma parents hoose  in the morning.”

“Oh, ok.  I guess I’ll see you on Monday some time.”  I give her a hug and say good bye.  I head to the bathroom and  Brody makes his way over to Eric who’s nursing a beer.

“Hey mate we are heading oot.  We huv tae leave in the morn’ tae go tae ma parents.”

“No, you’re leaving to go home and fuck.  Where did jasmine go?”

“She left.  Why huv ye noo girl tae go hame wi tae night mate?”

“Didn’t feel like it.”

“Why?  Wouldn’t huv tae dae wi a certain lady who joined us tae night does it?”

“Fuck off Brody.  Go home and shag your girl.  I’m leaving too.”  And I walk back just in time to hear that last line.

“Shag his girl.  Huh.”

“Sorry Annie, just in a bad mood.”  I pat him on the back.

“Don’t worry, I understand.”  I wink and grab Brody and we leave.  We get out to the jeep and I push him up against it.“So you’re going to shag me?”

“Those are Eric’s words, but aye.  I’m going to shag ye seven ways tae Sunday love.”

“MMMM, I can’t wait.”  I lick his chin and walk to the passenger side and climb in.

“I canni wait tae git ye hame, Ye huv teased me aw night.  I think ye need  to be punished.”

“How, did I tease you all night.  Just the dance was when I teased you.”

“And just noow.  Pushing me against the jeep wi yer luscious body.”  He groans.

“Ok, but that’s not all night.”

“Aye, yer right.  I jist wan tae spank yer pretty arse.”

Chapter 22

We make it up to Brody’s parents house by noon on Saturday.  His mom comes running out to the jeep and gives us big hugs.  Even though it had only been a week since we were last here, but that’s what a normal loving family does, unlike my fucked up one.

“Hello, hunni! How huv ye been?”

“I’ve been great Donna, how have you been?”

“Oh, I huv been busy planning yer wedding.”  She smiles.

“Wh-What do you mean, my wedding?  How did you even-“

“I told ye baby, ma mum ken afore we did.”  Brody kisses me on top of my head.

“Aye I did, and I huv loads tae talk aboot wi ma soon tae be daughter, so if ye wull excuse us,” Donna takes my hand and we walk to the house, leaving Brody to grab our bags.  “Let me see how the ring looks on ye hunni?”  I show her and she gasps.  “So beautiful.  Ma mum would be so honoured that her first grandchild’s wife is wearing her ring.”  She hugs me. 

“Well, I am truly greatful and honored to be wearing it.  Thank you.”  I say as I’m hugging her back.  We get into the house and we sit at the table and she has a notebook and opens it to show me all of the planning she has done.  “You did all of this in a week!”  I say gasping.  She nods.

“So, my dear, Brody has told me thit he would love tae marry ye yesterday,” She giggles.

“Yes,  he is a bit impatient, he told me that he was going to take me to the court house to get the JOP to marry us.” 

“Well, thit is noo gonna happen.  Ye derserve a wedding hunni.  And wi thit said, Whit is yer thoughts?”

“Honestly, I haven’t really thought about it.  I mean, I don’t want a big fancy wedding.  Small and intimate will be perfect.”

“I agree.”  Brody chimes in.

“I dae tae.”  Says Donna.  “Which is why I wiz gonna suggest ye huv it here, in the back garden.”

“Oh, that sounds perfect!  Brody, what do you think?”  I ask him.

“If it’s whit ma baby wans then it’s whit I wan.”  He winks at me as he bites into the apple he just got out of the fridge.

“Ok thit is settled, let’s talk when?”  Donna says.

“Noow!”  Brody shouts from the living room.

“Oh Brody, stoap talking pish! Ye ken it canni happen noow.”  Donna shouts back and I giggle.  “Annie, how does a month sound.”

“A Month! Mum thits ages away!”  Brody whins.  I start laughing, because Brody acting like a child, it is too damn cute.  Brody comes in to the dining room and sits next to me.  “Whit is so funny Love?”

“You, my cute little boy whining to his mommy.”  I kiss him on his pouty lips.  Then he whispers into my ear.

“There is nothing little aboot me, membur?”  I blush and he kisses behind my ear, and I shove at him with my shoulder.

“Brody, a month is as soon as we can possibly dae the wedding.  We need tae give enough notice tae guests, caterers and entertainment.”  His mom tells him.

“I know mum, I’m jist noo a patient man when it comes tae Annie.”

“Understandable son.  Noow, Annie, I wull need yer guest list hunni and I wull send oot the invites.”  I look down and not wanting Donna to see my uneasiness.  The only person I would want there is gone.  But I know he will be there in spirit.  But I give her Shawn’s parents name and address.  “Noo one else?”

“Mum,”  Brody shakes his head no and pulls me into his lap and holds me tightly.

“Right, whit colors would you like Annie?”  She asks changing the subject.

“Ummm, I don’t know.  What do you want Brody?”

“Whit ye wan.  I wan ye tae huv the wedding ye huv always wanted.”  Once again I shy away and look down.  Brody lifts  my head up to look at him and he sees the despair in my eyes.  “Mum, Annie and I are gonna go fur a walk jist noow.”  He stands me up and follows.

“Take all the time ye two need.”  And we walk out of the house.  Once we are off the porch and headed to the back yard he starts talking.

“Baby, talk tae me.  Are ye huving second thoughts?”   He is looking freaked out.

“Oh god no, no Brody.  No, I want to marry you.”  I hug him to comfort and reassure him, he lets out a sigh of relief.  We start walking again.

“Whit’s got ye so sad Love.”

“Brody, I can’t have the wedding of my dreams because I never dreamt of having a wedding.  It has been hammered into me from like day one that I was useless, unlovable and so very much unwanted by everyone.  As I got older the meaner my dad became.  Telling me that I’m too fat, no man will ever want me-“He stops me there by placing his finger on my lips.  He pulls me into his arms and kisses me, a kiss so full of passion, want, desire and love.

“Annie, I wan tae be wi ye so fucking bad it hurts.  I ache fur ye every second of the day.  I can’t live wi oot ye.  I need ye tae live.  The oors we spend apart nearly kill me.  I was never living until I met ye.  Ye are ma reason fur living.  I wan tae git married, start a family, go on trips, I wan it aw wi ye-“  Now it’s my turn to hush him with my finger and kiss him back with a kiss so full of passion, want, desire and love.

“I believe you just said your wedding vows Mr. McGhee.”  I smile at him and he smiles back and looks down towards the ground with the “aw shucks” look on his face. “And I want all of that with you too Brody.  I know I don’t show it, because of what I have been taught, but damn it Brody, you are my life, my reason for living.  Before Shawn died, he was my reason.  My savior.  And when he died, I died too.  I didn’t want to go on.  Yet, somehow I did.  I now know why I did.  You, it was my destiny to be with you.  Shawn was my past savior, protector.  He kept me safe and guarded for you.   You are my savior, protector of my present, future and for all of eternity.  You are my soul mate
