Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 115

“Tessa said she and Arnie can escort us to give everyone else a break, but only pack members who live in the packhouse, okay? If we leave the packhouse, we have to have extra security. Even if it is just the houses down the street,” Bronx lectures me after making a few phone calls.

 

“T'll take it. We can get everyone else tomorrow in the dining room,” I smile and throw my arms around his waist before I run on my toes to the shower to get myself ready for the day. I turn on the water in the shower and get undressed, take off all my jewelry, including my lavish, trackable, diamond dog collar, and place it all in the little velvet lined dish on the countertop. Oh sorry, I meant to say, the beautiful diamond necklace my husband had custom made, using the latest nanotechnology, so he could know where I am every second of every day.

 

I step into the shower and start washing my hair. As I'm massaging the shampoo into my hair, I hear Bronx call me.

 

“Baby? Did you take your necklace off? I got an alert,” he calls into the bathroom.

“Yeah,” I holler back over the noise of the shower, “I have to wash my hair. I didn’t want it to get full of conditioner. It's on the tray on the bathroom counter.”

 

“Okay, just checking,” he says before I hear the bathroom door close, "Please don't forget to put it on when you're done."

 

"No problem, Sweetheart,” I call back sweetly.

 

“Lex, how long was that?”

 

“Ninety-seven seconds. I thought it would be faster. Better give us a buffer, just in case” she advises.

 

“Yeah. That’s a good call. Ten seconds?” Inod and pout my lip as! rinse out the shampoo.

 

“I haven't been out in for a long time. I'm itching to go. Ten seconds is way more than enough. We just have to shift quickly.”

 

“Okay. You're not exaggerating, right? If you tell me ten seconds, I'm giving you ten seconds.”

 

“I can make it eight if you want,” she snarks back.

 

“Fine. Ten. You don't have to be a little bitch about it,” I huff at her.

 

“You don't have to be a little bitch,” she mimics in a mocking tone. I roll my eyes and cut off our connection before she makes me mad.

 

I rub the conditioner into my hair and pile it on top of my head. I close my eyes and think outside of my body, “ Leticia, are you there?”

 

Is it time?” Leticia
