  “Good, what I needed to hear” and looking at him, hand against chest adding, “Now I can give my whole heart to Missy”.

  Eyes huge gasping and upset running up the stairs, he yells, “Maybe give her a rose everyday”.

  Pausing on the landing, Ella flicked him off hurrying away going into her apartment slams the door, Seth stood there mumbling, “Sorry Ella”, in her apartment sat down on the kitchen chair completely crushed.

  Putting hands over her weeping eyes said, “Why did I fall in love with brothers, it is wrong, totally crazy, should never happen, it’s caused nothing but heartache”. Door opens, Ella looks and Saul walked in she mumbles, “Great”.

  “What?” Setting his keys down on the counter, “Nothing Saul”.

  Turned looking at her asked, “Why the tears?”

  “Hormones”, walking away mumbled, “Nah maybe something else you have done, guilt getting to ya”.

  Sat down on the sofa grabbing the newspaper and glanced at him felt bad for cheating on him to and asked, “You hungry?”

  “Nah, you’re having a meltdown, I can grab a snack”.

  “I can cook Saul”, asked, “Where are the kids?”

  “The movies with your ma and Danny Ray”.

  “Wow took them all huh?”

  “Well Stanley and Charlene went with their boys”.

  Setting the newspaper down, smirking, Saul asked, “Why don’t you come sit by me?” Shaking her head replied, “No, not now”.

  “Why not”, winks at her saying, “It’s that time of month”, snatched the paper back up roughly mumbles, “Yeah, right Ella”.

  Got up from the chair and went over to the refrigerator pulling out a pack of pork-chops saying, “I’ll make dinner”, sat them onto the counter.

  Suddenly, jumped and Saul did to saying, “What the heck”, both hurried by the door. Saul opens it finding Sebastian sitting there on the floor in the hallway asked, “What happen?”

  “Aw I fell”, was holding a whisky bottle, Ella shook her head and Saul remarked, “Nah brother think your drunk”, held his hand out adding, “Give me the bottle”. Gripping tight replied, “No, I need this”.

  “No you don’t, what for”.

  “To ease my pain”, looks at Ella that hung her head, Saul said, “Go inside Ella”, that did shutting the door, he knelt down by Sebastian and said, “Drinking will make it worse”. “Nah, try some, ease your pain”, held the whisky bottle out to Saul pushing it away saying, “No thanks”.

  “Why, you must hurt”.

  “I have little brother, but dealt with it”.

  Taking a big drink, Sebastian remarked, “Bet you have loving her”, eyes big Saul asked, “Her, who you talking about?”

  Taking another drink added, “Stop playing games Saul” that snatched the bottle away saying, “Stop drinking”.

  “Aw give me that back”. Rose up trying to grab the bottle, Saul steps back, said, “No, stop this crap”.

  “Can’t”, hand against his head.

  “Why not?”

  “I hurt Saul”. Leans head back against the wall.

  “Wrong medicine Sebastian”.

  Looking at him asked, “You love your wife?”

  “What, huh?”

  “You love Ella?”

  Moving eyebrows close together, replied, “Of course I married her”.

  “Yeah you did, gluten for punishment”.

  “Stop talking foolish your drunk”.

  “Nah I know what I’m saying, but wonder why do you hurt Ella if you love her Saul”. Stood up held his hand out saying, “Let’s get you home”, leaning against the wall said, “If you never hurt her things might have been different”.

  “What are you getting at Sebastian?” Banging his head back against the wall, Saul knelt down stopping him and said, “Get a grip brother”.

  “My world has crumbled” and slightly standing up, helping Sebastian up that rave on Saul took him to his apartment.

  Where he sat Sebastian down on the black leather sofa he cried and Saul stood there watching his brother have a meltdown now.

  Ella stood by the stove frying up pork-chops when the door flew open, Saul entered the kitchen waving his hand said, “Lost my appetite”, walking through fast going into the bedroom, sat on the bed hung his head tears fall to the floor.

  Walking in the room Ella asked, “You okay?’’ Held a dishtowel.

  “Will be, but fear Sebastian will never be the same again”.

  “Why?”

  “He’s turning into a raging alcoholic” and upset twist the dishtowel just stood silently.

  A few weeks pass, Ella giving her whole heart to Saul doing the same in return and things were great.

  Went out to dinner, a lot recently, took the four kids to the afternoon movies one Saturday.

  During the movie, Ella kept glancing at Saul tossing peanuts into his mouth, his shoulder length pale hair flew back, she mumbles, “Cute as ever”.

  A week later Saturday evening, excited, about having a girl’s night out and a few Wiley men not happy about the place their woman picked, the new dance club. Dressed up, wearing tight fitting jeans with a sleeveless red silk shirt and brown knee high boots fit snug,

  Charlene stood in the middle of the kitchen already dancing when walking into the kitchen, noticed, rose eyebrows high mumbling, “Going to shake something off”, and Jennifer, with Missy laughing.

  Back door opens, walking in, Saul with Ella dressed nice, wearing a blue jean mini skirt with a tight sleeveless blue jean vest and cowgirl boots.

  Smiling Brenda said, “You both look nice”, Saul wore black blue jeans with a black dress shirt and his black steel toe boots. Saw his brothers walking in dressed almost the same and smirks.

  Clapping her hands Charlene asked, “Ready?’ Eyes rolled and walked out the back door, Brenda said, “Have fun”, and stuck his head back in.

  Saw long dark curls, Seth replied, “I hate dancing”, waves hand replies, “Oh son you’re so good, show everyone”.

  Laughs out, “What mama taught us”, giggling, “Yep, sure taught my boys how to dance up a storm”.

  Brenda’s words exactly, at the packed dance club, her sons become center of attention as they showed a crowd that stepped back off the floor and stood in a circle watching. Four Wiley men really get down with serious dance moves. Women’s eyes huge, few ready to pop out when dancing like actual strippers.

  Standing in a corner, away from such a large audience glued to their men, Ella, Charlene, Jennifer and Missy stood shocked, but watching how good their man could move his body. Disco music blazing.

  Cheering, many women fanning themselves, as long hair with curls swung back, and watched them literally gyrate, perfectly in motion. Now techno music blasting.

  Giggling, Jennifer whispers to Charlene, “Is there anything our men can’t do”. Pushing up her glasses, “Yes give birth”, laughing.

  Rose one red eyebrow mumbles, “Sure can make babies”.

  “Your right Ella, because of those moves, no wonder their so good at working it”, and laughing.

  “ROCK IT BABY!” Grinding, moving lower body, hips, ticking right -to-left, ticking right-front, left -back, Saul’s long blonde hair sways and women scream, “YES!” A crowd of eyes huge and hearts pounding.

  “OH MY GOD!” Doing hip roll, Seth’s long curls covering his eyes, as his hips are rolling and drop it low.

  Women screaming, “WORK IT BABY”. All four, hip rolling and grinding perfectly. “OH GOD!”

  “AWESOME!” Some women telling them, “Bring that sexy hip action here?” Heard whistling and women yelling, “TAKE THE SHIRTS OFF?” Pop music blazes.

  Pointing, Charlene says, “Aw think this is getting carried away, women want our men to strip”. Heard clapping and screaming, “OH YEAH!”

  Glancing towards the dance floor, rolling her eyes said, “Figures Saul would take his shirt off”.

  Eyes big, giggling Jennifer says, “Tos
sed it into the crowd and look those women are struggling over his shirt”.

  “Unbelievable”, waving hand and patting her shoulder said, “Calm down Ella“. Swung her arm out replied, “Was supposed to be girl’s night out, not male revue night”. Walked away the others saying, “Aw come Ella”, walked in a corner stood upset saw a few women rushing by, heard, “Its Saul Wiley”,

  “Yes its him”,

  “He’s here!”

  “Oh honey hurry”. Running toward the packed dance floor.

  Another woman rushing by saying, “Saul can dance good just like he can bang”, and hand covering her face mumbles, “Groupies, bet he banged most of um”. Noticed more women rushing by carrying on,

  “The hottest man ever is back”.

  “So are his brothers”

  “Right, all hunks”, hurried away. Two women walking by and one putting lip-gloss on, smacks lips, swung her long blonde hair back, said, “I slept with Saul years ago and honey that man can work his body”. Woman next to her giggling out, “Maybe you will again”. “Ah, hoping to get a chance”. Both laughing.

  Leaning against the wall, folds arms mumbling, “I am not having fun”. Heard cheering and screams, “WILEY BOYS!”

  Walks over to the payphone, dug in her purse, putting quarter in, hears, “WE LOVE YOU SAUL!”

  Tapping her foot, held the receiver, “Hi, hey can you come get me?”

  Hung up, hurried outside and stood waiting, saw the red king-cab truck pull up, and leaning over opens the door, “Hey darling”, and waves, “Hi Shane, thanks”, walked over got in, shuts door.

  Drove away looks at her asked, “Aw what happen?”

  “I feel sick”, staring out the passenger window and asked, “Where’s Saul?” “Shaking his ass”, and eyes huge.

  Later that night, lay on the bed, kept glancing at the alarm clock mumbled, “Two am, guess one lucky girl gets her stripper”.

  Heard the door shut and walking into the room quietly, by the dresser took off his watch, hears, “Where you been Saul?” No reply, “Maybe I should ask with who, right Saul?” Turning around saw his swollen shut eye and rose hands by her face asked, “What happen?”

  “Aw a big fight”.

  “Why everyone seem to be having fun?”

  “Yeah, until Seth took his shirt off, women charged and were all over my brother”. “What?”

  “Knocked him on the floor”. Took shirt off.

  “Seriously?”

  “Seth has the perfect six–pack, they wanted him”. Staring at Saul’s muscular chest.

  Smirks saying, “Aw was a struggle to pull one woman off Seth”, and laughing. “Who gave you the black eye?”

  “Angry and jealous men we fought”.

  Twisting the blanket asked, “You really were not with a woman?”

  “Not, “I was at the hospital”, gasped out, “Who got hurt?”

  “Well Stanley got a broken nose, but pounded the man”, eyes large, “Oh my”. Nodding, adds, “Seth covered with scratches, scrapes, some deep fingernail marks”. Crawled into bed, turns looking at her asked, “Why did you leave Ella”. “Your sudden fan club and don’t tell me women did not paw all over you”. Laughs out, “Aw many did”.

  Roughing up the comforter, saying, “Great just what I want to hear”.

  Brushing her bangs back says, “You want to hear this”, and staring into bluest eyes asked, “What?”

  “Only one woman I want”, hand by heart asked, “Me Saul?”

  “Forever”.

  “Make love to me Saul”. Rolls over on top of her, pressed his body firmly against her, face-to- face said, “I will never stop loving you, never Ella”.

  “Oh Saul”, and kissing heavily, fingers running through hair.

  Rose up undressing fast, slides her hand across his chest licks lips said, “Work those hips on me like you did on the dance floor”, smirks.

  Twenty minutes later, Ella felt strong orgasms.

  The next day, Sunday, went to the mall, kids wanted everything and pulling Ella giggling into the jewelry store, Saul told her, “This time take you pick”, thrilled. Standing with his hands tucked into his jeans pockets, asked, “Well Ella see anything sparkling that catches your interest?”

  Radiant, said, “Yes you sure have Saul”.

  Pulled her into his arms tightly, and smirked saying, “Pick something baby”, the kids were laughing.

  Pushing his long wavy bangs away from his sparkling bluest eyes and staring says, “God, I do love you Saul”.

  Tilting his head close against Ella’s, whispers in her ear, “Aw, I could fuck you right here”, she trembles with excitement.

  Held her saying, “I will later”. Slants her head forward whispering in his ear, “Love me all night long Saul?”

  “Come morning you won’t be able to walk baby”, laughs and tickling her laughing more the kids rolled their eyes noticing their mushy parents.

  Now looking at the rings, “Oh Saul their all so expensive”.

  “Were doing just fine in our business Ella, pick anything”, gasped asking, “Really”. “Yes baby”.

  Playing with a new yo-yo, Cody asked, “Hey daddy does that mean we can get anything to at the toy store?”

  Holding onto Ella tightly from behind, looked at the four kids and grinned saying, “Aw maybe”, eyes become huge with smiles.

  Suddenly, Ella pointed and said, “That one Saul”, looked down onto a ring of two hearts connected with tiny little diamonds around it, he asked, “Hey, why that one?” “You honestly do not know why Saul?”

  Pulling her even closer against him, said, “Of course I do baby”, kissed, and the kid’s eyes almost popped out.

  Ashley cleared her throat saying, “Ah hey, were like in a store, crowded mall to”. The four kids looked out into the busy mall, as their parents were sharing a magical moment.

  However, after Ella had the ring on her finger staring at it with a glow and walked out of the jewelry store, Ashley asked, “Toy store?”

  Smirking, Saul replied, “Yes”, and staring at her shiny new ring said, “Oh thank you so much Saul”, winked.

  Suddenly, heard another woman say, “Saul?”

  Eyes become large when Jackie the young girl Saul messed with one night comes walking up to them.

  Looked at Saul with his family and shook her head saying, “You are married what a creep,” and looks at Ella adding, “I feel sorry for you honey”, walked away swinging a bag.

  Upset, Ella looked at Saul that put his hands up saying, “Aw let me explain Ella”. Took the ring off, hands it to Saul and said, “Go give it to your girlfriend”, walking away and runs after her, grabbing Ella’s arm pulling her back said, “Will you just listen”. “To what more lies, no I’m done Saul”. Grabbing onto her jerking away said, “No, you will never change”.

  “Aw baby I have”.

  “Are you kidding me, you just had a fling with that blonde, right Saul?” Hung his head and tapping her foot on the floor added, “I’m such a fool”.

  “Stop Ella”.

  “No, wish you would”.

  “I swear, never again, please, what happen to me loving you all night”. Folding her arms asked, “Sure you got enough energy left for me after teeny bopper?” “Baby yes, she meant nothing”.

  Laughing out, “You sure have a way with treating women”.

  Cody mumbled, “Will never go to the toy store”, Ashley shook her head watching their parents arguing now in the crowded mall and the twins kept saying, “I’m hungry”.

  In the shoe store right across from the jewelers, stood Max aggravated saying, “Ryder what is the dang difference in tennis shoes?”

  “A lot man to be cool”, Lucas smirked, and held a pair of construction boots. Pointing Max said, “Aw look your sister there is not a big expense”.

  Lucas now shook his head and Ryder replied, “Yeah he is far from the in crowd to”.

  One highbrow high, Max said, “Ah, huh of course”. Li
stening to the boys arguing. Angry, had to step outside of the shoe store a moment and standing taking a deep breath his eyes become large glancing across by the jewelry store Max mumbled, “Oh my strawberry treat right before my very own eyes”.

  Gave a snarl saying, “Glued to a filthy Wiley boy”.

  Nodding, “Aw arguing to, well, I will treat her right?”

  Glanced back in the shoe store saw his two boys arguing and shook his head walking towards the jewelry store.

  Ella and Saul were sure arguing, pointing at each other words roar, when suddenly Saul pushed aside and said, “What the hell!” Furiously looking at the man that pushed him.

  Putting his hands up, Max said, “I’m so sorry” and Ella in tears just looked at Max that looks at her asking, “You all right lady?”

  The kids looked on and Saul said, “Why don’t you watch where you’re walking buddy!” “I am sorry folks”, and irritated Saul replied, “Fine, scram buddy”, and Max thought, smart ass Wiley boy, I’d love to pound you right now.

  Watching another spat, Cody whispers to Ashley, “Aw think another fight might happen?” Looking at the crowd walking by replied, “Oh please no!” However, Max walked away and Saul mumbled, “What a jerk”. “Yeah you sure are Saul, take me home now!”

  Max went over to a payphone, hurried putting a quarter in and said, “Hello?” “Dear sister”,

  “I want that marriage torn apart now”,

  “I mean business it’s time for faze two to start”.

  Annoyed, held the receiver out saying, “What a big mouth”.

  Receiver back to his ear, asked, “Lost your nerve tramp?’

  “We must stick to the plan!”

  “End their marriage Ruby!” Slammed the receiver down, grins watching Ella hurry away from Saul that stood hanging his head, Max mumbles, “This move might be easy”.

  On the ride home, Saul driving was begging Ella to forgive him and the kids in the back seat rolled eyes listening. “Aw, just talk to me Ella” putting hand up suddenly jumps from Saul banged on the steering wheel said, “Fine, you really want it this way?’ In the back seat eyes now huge.

  Making it back home, rushed into the apartment building, and Saul waits for the children walking in with them, going into their apartment setting his keys down onto the counter told the kids to go play and they took off fast.
