Jolie of course had to ask Sable a few questions just 'cause she was curious
about how things worked.
Sable had told her to ask anything she wanted, that she was an open book. It seemed
like she was serious about the questions, too, because Jolie had gotten a brief overview
of how things worked. Although the personal questions like what, went, where, and
how, Jolie had not felt like she should ask yet.
Sable’s friend, Desire, had come over a few times as well, bringing treats for the
baby, and getting to know Jolie. Although she had been a little shy around the women
at first, Jolie was feeling more and more comfortable with them. It was nice to be
able to talk to women easily, it was not something Jolie had ever done before Marie,
and personal relationships were harder than professional. Although Jolie knew intimate
details of her patients' lives, they were certainly not someone she could sit down
with, watch a runway model show or a wedding dress show with, and feel comfortable.
Jolie and Marie had always watched those shows in order with each other, then make
fun of the people or the clothes. There was not too much in between. Now her horizons
had been expanded to tiny beauty queens and dance moms. Sable and Desire had acted
exactly the same as Marie and her, making fun and being offended at the behavior of
some of the mom’s. It was entertaining to listen to them rant and rave while throwing
popcorn and treats at the TV screen.
“When are you going to tell me what is going on?” Jolie asked Gage while she was brushing
her teeth after he handed her a toothbrush.
“I told you, when you are feeling better, there is a lot going on right now. Alex’s
fathers and brothers have been in and out of this place. They are staying over at
David’s right now. It has become grand central, and things are changing fast, I don’t
want to tell you something to make you worry and then tell you something else a few
hours later. Right now you have to know David and I are protecting both you and Sammi,
as well as our friends and families,” Gage said honestly and crouched down so he was
balanced on his toes and looking her directly in the eye.
David appeared in the doorway and grinned when he saw Gage getting closer to her.
Gage took the toothbrush and handed her a glass of water to rinse with, and when she
was done he turned her face until she was looking down at him and smiled. “Until
this is over, we are in this together, and when you are feeling up to it, I think
showing you will be easier than explaining to you what is going on.”
Jolie felt a tingle in her cheek where he touched her and she nodded slowly. Damn, he was hot, both of them were. The more time he spent with them the more she was coming to realize they were protecting
her and taking care of her, not because they had to—because they actually cared.
She was a cynic though, meeting a man let alone two when in a stressful situation
was not wise. First of all, the tension and emotion could wreak havoc on your equilibrium.
Second, were two sexy and overbearing men who thought they were protecting her by
not telling her certain things. Jolie knew even if she went down and saw the board,
which Desire and Sable had kept her up-to-date with some of the information, the men
wouldn't explain it. The testosterone in the house at times was even overbearing.
Each of the men had come up and talked to her.
Dallas and Noah gave her Bailey’s phone number because the woman was like a tornado
with shopping. Andre and Rex were both great and had also given her their wife’s
phone number. Of course, the men had gotten her a new one, a phone that Gage and
David supplied her with that was safe to make calls with. However, before she could
even program the numbers into the phone the women had conference called her. Those
three were like a force of nature when they set their minds to it.
