The Girl.

  Little Samantha sat right next to her daddy and not little anymore she turned nine-years-old. That child was an identical resemblance of daddy, her long dark curls hung down her tall

  slender frame wearing blue jeans and a blue t-shirt, Samantha appeared to dress like a tomboy.

  Went faithfully to her karate classes and has won most tournaments thanks to her daddy the

  instructor.

  Definitely Rodney was there who was a big part of the Wiley’s., he sat with his wife Wanda who was Spanish and their six-year-old son Jay, that they call (RJ) for short. In time that had pass by, all the Wiley boys were married men and had their own family. Walking up to the long filled picnic table was Brenda and Paul Gene holding large bowls with macaroni and potato salads.

  They were all very happy and doing well.

  Ella was very happy also, as things finally had been good since Saul changed his bad ways and become a great father to his kids.

  Saul worked on his roofing job full time and even in the office at times.

  The Wiley boys had all moved out of their parent’s home and still lived very near. Paul Gene along with his four boys bought the apartment complex right next door to the bar. It had four units with three bedrooms each, as that was just what they needed. The Wiley’s were all together and the way they wanted it to be, by their paw and maw. Glad they chose to be very close next door, because their paw Paul Gene was not feeling well lately.

  Meanwhile.

  Eating at their big cook out, as Saul along with Paul Gene gave a great barbeque and everyone was laughing having the best time as usual.

  The Wiley bunch was all together always and celebrated holidays, birthdays and every event in their life.

  Furthermore, were actually men now, as a few years past.

  Saul turned twenty-nine-years-old, on January 8th, and brother number two, Shane just turned twenty-eight this past February 17th.

  Then brother three, Sebastian was turning twenty-six in a few weeks August 7th.

  Youngest brother number four, Seth Wiley just turned twenty-four-years-old on July first. A real man not little brother no more, but still would always be to his three brothers. All seem to be well and happy for the Wiley family, as a few live with dark secrets and hidden desires that still tempted them over the years.

  However, Paul Gene did not look so good in the face or health wise, as four years had pass, he was now in his late sixty’s, near seventy-years-old, as Brenda was much younger, twenty-years. A few weeks later.

  The four Wiley women were at the mall shopping not to mention spending their fellow’s money, the Wiley men just finished a roofing job that paid top dollar.

  Wallets were full until the wives shopping spree was over, Ella was holding Cody’s hand who wanted everything, as she kept scolding him.

  When he stomps his foot saying, “I want toys, now!”

  “Oh boy, not only am I telling daddy, I’m telling uncle Seth too”, shaking his head says, “Okay, I will stop don’t tell mama”.

  The other kids went with Brenda that joined the event and pushing a double stroller with her three-year-old twin grandsons.

  Brandon and Dylan, as Brenda sure was a big help always, she also had Sebastian’s little girl

  Kayla at her side.

  Each Wiley wife, did not notice that they were being followed, Ella was in the candle shop and kept smelling the sweet fragrant assortment.

  Holding one candle near her face sniffing she said, “Oh this smells like pumpkin”. Accidentally Cody dropped a candle and she said, “Gee boy just can’t wait a minute for the toy store huh”.

  “Sorry mama”.

  Made him stand by the wall, as he did not move, because she warned him daddy boy!

  Therefore, she bent down quickly, picking up the broken pieces, and as she went to grab a final piece big black boots stood before her. Thinking it was the stores help to come clean up the mess.

  Still looking down grabbing glass, as her hands were full she said, “I am sorry about this”.

  A real deep voice replied, “Ah quite alright there pretty lady!”

  Shaking her head mumbled, “Gee, stores have changed bold I’d say”. Cody was just staring up at the tall person.

  Now standing up, looking at a real tall man with short jet black hair and dark eyes, he stepped back and she said, “I am sorry, it’s just my son can be wild”.

  He appeared to be in his middle twenties and was very handsome man, as Ella looked at him and both were quiet with Cody pulling onto her blue jean purse saying loudly, “TOYS MAMA!”

  Grinning the man said, “Well prettiest mama don’t keep the boy waiting”.

  Blushing and he winked, as she nervously dropped some glass from her quivering hand. Bent down quickly grabbing the glass, as he also bent down grabbing a piece still in her shaking hand, as he actually held hers.

  “Here give that to me, I don’t want you to get cut pretty lady”.

  Looking at him put the glass piece in his large open hand.

  Cody whines out, “You fibbed mama”, and his mama and the person are staring at each other silently.

  Looking at her said, “You better make him happy”, as she said, “Ah huh”.

  He stared right through her and added, “Pleasing is very important”.

  Suddenly, Ella touched her head and remarked, “Woe this stores boiling”, as he really grinned.

  Standing up quickly reached his hand out, as Ella took hold and he pulled her up fast. He was sure muscular and very big, as he had to be six-foot-four.

  Smiling told Cody, “Hey, you’re pretty mom will take you now”.

  Excitedly, Cody jumped up and down, as the person grinned with Ella staring at him, and said, “Thanks for your kindness”.

  “Oh beautiful lady it’s been my pleasure”, as Ella took a deep gulp. All of a sudden, Mandy and Tara with Missy comes walking into the front of the store and eyes become huge.

  Standing by the front entrance looking at Ella and some strange man, as Mandy kept giggling looking on.

  Mandy made a few comments, “Guess she learned the ropes from Saul”, as Missy nudged her. Pointing into the store, “What, it’s true”, laughs Mandy.

  Tara looked into the front of the store and kept looking down onto the stroller with her baby daughter Sabrina.

  She and Shane finally had a little girl and their last.

  Abruptly, three tall young males with hoods pulled over their faces from the jackets they wore the same, comes walking into the front entrance also and saw the Wiley women. One whistled into the store and the man with Ella put his finger up.

  The Wiley females could not help to notice the disguised people next to them.

  However, the women just looked and each man was close to them, as one said, “What’s this centerfold of the month audition cause honey your fine”, Mandy giggled saying, “Aw thanks”. Missy pushed her glasses up saying, “Guys and bull”.

  Mandy become flushed, as Tara giggled.

  Another man facing Missy said, “Nah smart girls are in much sexier”.

  Missy smiled saying, “Why thank you very much”, blushed pushing her glasses up. Now Tara shook her head and a man in front of her disguised with his hood said, “No way y’all, because I’m looking down at playmate of the year”.

  Tara’s blue eyes got huge, he added, “Isn’t that right sweet little thing”, as she was now blushing. The Wiley wives are giggling and the hunk that was with Ella comes walking out, clicked his fingers and said, “Let’s roll”.

  Three hidden faced men by each Wiley wife said, “Bye gorgeous”, and Mandy was smiling brightly, as another said, “Later smart sexy one”. The last man very close to Tara said, “Bye sweet little lady”, blowing her a kiss. The three women were speechless and blushing from the many complements. The men were now gone, as the women were beside themselves when Ella comes up to them. Missy said, “Gee haven’t been flattered in like forever”, as she looked right at Ella pushing her
glasses up.

  Laughing Mandy replied, “Yeah Sebastian doesn’t know sweet lines, just cocky ones”, as Ella looked at her rolling her eyes.

  “Well it was nice to get noticed, but Shane is a romantic”, and Mandy put her finger in her mouth and faked gagging.

  Ella shook her head at Mandy that giggled saying, “Sebastian’s romantic line is lay down woman”, and they laughed.

  Missy was laughing and said, “Yeah Seth’s is how about some now woman”, as they were cracking up.

  Ella did not though, Tara quietly asked, “Ella you okay?”

  “Those guys knew us”.

  The laughing session quickly stopped and Mandy asked, “Why you say Ella?” Shaking her head replied, “Because they sure cannot stand our men we are laughing about”. “What?”

  “They hate them”, said Ella fiddling with the buckle on her purse nervously. Putting her hand on her broad hip, Mandy asked, “How do you know?”

  Worried, Ella replied, “That dark haired man told me give the Wiley boys a message”. “What’s the message?” Missy asked now scared.

  “See them soon that their going to pay”, replied Ella scared also.

  The women become silent, as Cody had tears saying, “Oh toys please mama”. Waving her hand Mandy remarked, “Aw don’t worry, you all know our men, their toughest”.

  Shaking her head Ella said, “I know, but this man was sure a big fellow, seemed very angry speaking about our men, sorry I’m scared something awful is going to happen?” The women become silent again and worried now on the way to the toy store finally, Cody had all smiles.

  In the toy store, Ella told the others wives, it is our secret, we tell the guy’s nothing about this. They agreed and Mandy told them, it would ruin their tough ego and giggled flexing her arms, as she had muscles and had an attitude that was different from the other’s.

  Missy was quiet along with Tara, as Ella just looked at her and shrugged.

  Meanwhile.

  The Wiley women, still were being followed and watched with many vulgar comments and laughs too.

  Brenda comes walking into the toy store pushing the double stroller with Brandon and Dylan saying, “Want toys”.

  Tugging gently at her grandmothers purse and looking down saying, “Oh of course little sugar daddy gave you spending money”, as Kayla lit up.

  The other grandkids all took off fast and grabbing what they wanted and expensive too. Ashley stood twirling a baton and Samantha grabbed roller skates saying, “Cool”, as Ashley smiled.

  Tara’s three boys all stood by the train sets when Nicky pushed Josh and they started arguing loudly.

  Suddenly, Tara blew her mommy whistle that was very loud and Brenda next to her grabbed her ear it blew right in.

  Holding a football, Josh said, “Sorry mom”, and gave Nicky a mean look, as Lance stood touching the trains and said, “Mines”.

  A half hour later.

  The Wiley’s walked out of the toy store and all the kids were beaming from getting exactly what they wanted.

  Tugging at her ear Brenda told Mandy, “I did not get what I need, a hearing aide”.

  Mandy giggled, as she held Kayla’s hand that was all smiles holding a new baby doll added to her many.

  Brenda held her ear and looked at little Tara walking ahead with her happy boys and baby.

  A few weeks pass, and the Wiley women remained secret about those men in the mall, as things have not been going good for one married couple.

  Ella and Saul had been arguing hot and heavy again for a week straight it went on with him leaving and her screaming, “Go to your whore!”

  In the truck, Saul sped away and not returning until daylight.

  The next night, Saul threw a lamp against the living room wall shattering it with the kids

  running to their bedrooms scared.

  Once again, their love seem to be fading and sure not meant to be, as those two do not get along. They brought the worst out in each other actually.

  Ella and Saul’s fighting grew worse, as the children sat in their bedroom scared in tears. One evening Ella was tired of him just leaving, Saul and Ella were shouting at each other when he went grabbing his truck keys and Ella just freaked.

  Rushing up to him saying, “No, you are not going to keep doing this to us after five years”. “Get out of my face Ella”.

  “Why Saul what is the real reason?”

  “Leave me alone Ella”, as she would not and fought him over the keys.

  “BACK OFF ELLA!”

  “No I won’t”.

  “I am warning you Ella!” Crying and yelling when he shoved her against the wall and hurried out of the bedroom with her right behind him screaming, “You have a family stop hurting us!”

  The children in their bedrooms were tired of hearing this already.

  Running out the apartment building with her closely behind in screaming tears and ran over by his silver truck, when Ella grabbed onto his arm saying, “No, please do not keep abandoning your family!”

  Looking at her said, “Get away from the truck Ella”.

  “No I won’t let you keep running out on us”. Pulling on his arm.

  At that moment, a big fight went down including Ella, as Saul angrily pushed her onto the ground. Watching out the upstairs window Ashley with Cody are scared.

  Kneeling on the ground crying and screaming at him, as he shouted just as loudly back. Saul was furious and Ella was upset. The two kids watching were sad, as they saw their daddy bending down above their mom pointing in her face and looked as if he was going to hit Ella.

  Irate Saul slapped her hard across the face and said, “Now will you back off!”

  The kids had not been the only two witnessing this big fight when Sebastian comes running fast out the apartment doors hollering, “Move from her Saul!”

  That backed up away from Ella, as Sebastian comes closer, and aggravated Saul said, “Aw hey not again man, because this isn’t your business”.

  Sebastian grinned saying, “Ah brother it is, because you’ve made it all our business”, as he pointed up to the window.

  Where the four kids were looking out now, “Well that’s just life and a life she ruined for me”, giving Ella a dirty look.

  She was kneeling on the ground crying and Sebastian glanced down at her and said, “Aw brother think you ruined a pretty good thing”.

  Waving his hand out, Saul said, “Look, I am not going to stand here listening to you on relationships because your woman left you again”.

  Now laughing shaking his head Sebastian remarked, “No room to talk”, and in tears Ella said, “Stop please, he’s your brother Saul”.

  Gave her such an expressionless look saying, “Oh really”, and actually charged at her. Therefore, this fight grew and somewhat ugly, as Sebastian one handedly only grabbed a hold of Saul roughly by the neck and put him against the truck, Saul just looked at Sebastian. Growling out, “I once told you, touch her ever again and I will have no other choice but to take my own brothers head off”.

  Looking serious at each other when Saul said, “Back up off me bro”, and he asked, “You done or rather finish this with me?”

  Kneeling on the ground still in flowing tears, Ella sobbing out, “Please do not fight”. “It’s done you are my brother”, said Saul, as he gave Ella such a mean look.

  Putting his hands up, Sebastian remarked, “Aw it’s done for now, but touch this woman again those hands I’ll rip right off”, stepping back from Saul who got into his truck fast speeding away. With her hands over her face crying heavily Sebastian knelt down before her saying, “Hey don’t cry”, removing her hands, he saw tears flow, snarled and said, “Aw, I’m gonna hurt him bad, for hurting my girl”.

  Sniffling, Ella asked, “Am I still your girl?” Putting his hand against his heart, he replied, “Forever!”

  Staring, hearts pound and Sebastian stood up, held his hand out and reaching up grabbing hold, he pulled her up fast, close against him
staring still, “Thank you Sebastian”.

  “For what?”

  “Truly loving me all these years”. Lowing his head whispers in her ear, “I sure miss showing you how much I love you”.

  “I miss you too, guess always will, because we can never be”, she cried and he held her tightly saying, “Hey stop, I’m here”, nodding she said, “Yes you are, the man I love”.

  Removing his hands from her waist now placing them against her face, he said, “You are the woman I love and will be the only one”, breathing heavy staring at Ella that smiled, he said, “Aw much better, no tears”, glanced up at the window and saw the kids back by the window again. “You need to go in by those shaken up kids”, as she said, “Yes, I know our three kids”, he leans his forehead gently against her forehead saying, “Aw there’d be many more if we were married”, she giggled and he kissed her nose she laughs.

  Parting from Sebastian and hated too, walking towards the apartment building with him watching, she paused before going in with him staring, she blew him a kiss then went in. Meanwhile, sitting in his truck parked right down the road, Saul had tears as he seen Ella in the arms of his own brother Sebastian.

  That was at his apartment and sitting on the blue sofa crying heavily, as little Kayla stood by her open bedroom door looking at her daddy breaking down?

  She said, “Don’t be sad faced my daddy!”

  Little Kayla went back into her bedroom room climbing up into her bed as she pulled her princess comforter up snug.

  Folding her tiny hands she said, “Dear god, you have to help my daddy be happy, oh don’t forget my wish to have a nicest mommy too”.

  Kayla then snuggled under her covers and fell asleep smiling at the thought of a happy life one day for her and daddy. A few nights later on the Wiley’s Sunday break.

  Saul deeply in shock went over at his best pal Rodney’s house that sat on the red sofa in deeper shock.

  Sitting on a red velvet chair with his hands over his face crying out, “What am I suppose to do take off my own brothers head, lord knows I have wanted to all these years!” “No guess not pal”, replied Rodney shaking his head feeling bad.

  “Or traumatize innocent children”.
