It had been two weeks since that day at Aunt Veronica's condominium.
Although it was early fall, the weather that Saturday was more like mid August. Humid, with temperatures approaching 90 degrees. Veronica and Nash had split for good it appeared, and she had sold the condo to the first buyer. So fast, in fact, that she didn't have a place to live yet. Mom had invited her to stay with us until she was squared away – can you imagine? I can. She was going to be staying in the basement until she saved some money and found a place she wanted to live. But don't feel bad for her. Our basement is fully finished and insulated. There's a bedroom where our beloved live-in housekeeper, Rebecca, used to live when we were kids. A full bathroom and even refrigerator and microwave for midnight munchies. It's nice.
Anyway, I was helping Ronnie pack and move her stuff. We'd rented a u-haul, and were moving her larger belongings to a storage facility. Ronnie was in a somber mood as she packed her entire life in boxes. No matter how she felt, though, she looked as hot as ever. She wore a form fitting pink Lycra top that stopped mid-stomach and highlighted her marvelous muscle tone and fabulous tits. Whenever she walked up the stairs, I couldn't help but stare at her luscious legs and ass in that pair of tight white shorts. She was unmistakably wearing a thong.
As I said, it was hot and I was covered with sweat when I heard the front door open.
"Ronnie – where the hell are you?" came the familiar booming voice of her soon to be ex-husband, the overweight, overbearing, underachieving Nash Breen.
Ronnie was upstairs packing, when I came out of the kitchen carrying a box.>"Adam," he said, surprised to see me. It had been a couple of years if not more, and I'd grown from the skinny teenage kid he used to ignore, to a strong, six foot one, 190 pound young man. "How're you doing, kid? What are you doing here?"
"I'm fine, Nash. I'm here to help Veronica move," I said, lifting the box up a little to illustrate. As I did, my chest and shoulder muscles strained and bulged.
"Well you look good," he complimented. "You grew up nice. Where's Ronnie?"
At that moment, Veronica came downstairs carrying a small lamp. Her eyes lit up for a moment when she saw Nash, perhaps momentarily unmindful of the situation, but almost immediately dulled as reality set in.
"Hello Nash," she said politely, if coldly.
"Ronnie, what are you doing?" he asked again, ignoring the obvious.
"I'm moving out, what's it look like? You know the place is sold, you got your check."
"But where are you going?"
"Not that it's any of your business, but I'm moving in with my sister until I find a place of my own."
"Aw c'mon," he scowled. "You don't wanna do that. You can stay with me as long as you want."
Veronica quickly shook her head from side to side, as though his words were spoken in a language she did not speak.
"Move in with you? What in the hell…are you crazy Nash? Have you lost your mind?"
"No, no," he shrugged. "I'm alone now, Daphne…moved out."
"Oh did she?" Veronica asked, faking interest. "That classy young lady? How could she tear herself away from you and the lap of luxury? Was it your drinking? Or were you whoring around on her, too?"
I stood there in silence, putting down the box. I felt like I was watching a soap opera, but the truth was, it was none of my business.
"Hey!" he snapped. "Watch it."
"Watch it?"
she replied, incredulous. "You came here to ask me to move in with you after you mistreat and abuse me.
After
our marriage breaks up because of you.
After
your girlfriend leaves you. Then you have the nerve to tell
me
to watch it?"
"It takes two to make a marriage work, kiddo," he sneered. "Maybe I didn't always pull my weight, but neither did you."
"Neither did…I'm not going to get into this with you again, Nash. It's much too late for that. You got your check, now go find another trashy little girlfriend and leave me alone."
"It's not that simple," he said in a calculating voice. "It's just not gonna be that easy. Yeah, I got my check, but I owed a lot and that money is almost gone. I'm not working right now. I'm gonna need some more money from you, maybe once every week or two until I get some together. I don't have a rich sister like you," he squinted his eyes and looked in my direction.
"You son-of-a-bitch," she said through clenched teeth. "You came here to ask for more money. You think I should support you? Think again – on your way out."
"I'm not
asking
, Ronnie," he snorted, moving closer to her menacingly.
Now it was time for me to step in and despite my fear of the bigger man, I took no hesitation in doing so.
