A New Day, A New Us part 9

I’m groggy and waking up Friday morning to a pleasant surprise in my bed, Mathilda. I remember her saying something about not wanting to drive home last night and I guess or hope she cleared it with my parents or I’m going to get my ass beat by Mom before Dad can kill me. I wrap my arm around her and pull her body into mine spooning us together. It’s earlier than normal for me and while I could sleep I have a rare opportunity and I’m not wasting any good time with her. I can tell she’s got some clothing on and when I start to press against her I can feel her rousing.

“Mmmmm, I promised them no,” Matty tells me groggily.

“Who did you promise no,” I ask putting my full body against hers.

“Your parents, I said I wanted to sleep here tonight and they said I could but no sex. Your Mom was very specific and made me swear or I can’t come over here for a month,” Matty tells me starting to wake up a little.

No sex, my parents knew I’d try to and Mom of all people shot me down. I lay there thinking about ways around it but knowing Mom she will take anything as a breach of her promise. Regardless I start to nibble on Matty’s ear and continue my grinding against her ass. My Amazon is moaning in light protest and finally after a few moments starts to shake me off.

“How am I to keep my word to your mom if you aren’t going to help me,” Matty asks rolling over to face me.

“Better question, how am I to show you that I appreciate you staying over the night and surprising me this morning,” I reply to her questions smirking.

Mathilda smiles sweetly before using her strength to ‘convince’ me to roll onto my back. I feel her cuddle up next to me and I get my arm around her. She settles down and I can almost hear her thinking as we lie in the dark of morning.

“You’re not all better are you,” Matty finally asks.

“I don’t know, sometimes it feels fine then others I feel like a maniac,” I answer her quietly.

“I think you’re wanting to lash out more,” Matty tells me rubbing my chest.

“I have to lash out more, I can’t expect everyone else to do it,” I tell her quietly.

Matty’s head shifts and she looks at me before crawling over top and straddling my body with hers. I let her pin me down with her hands on my wrists as I see she has a point to make.

“I’m not weak, Imelda might be a better fighter but I know I’m the strongest girl you got,” Matty growls at me,” Now tell me why you think I can’t do more.”

“Because a fight isn’t about who is strongest or best trained, it’s about who is willing to do the most damage,” I tell her calmly,” it’s not about knocking them down, it’s about reminding them that they can die and you are how it can and will happen.”

Matty pauses above me, I can barely see her face but I know my words had an impact. I feel her grip on my wrists lessen and I free my hands before wrapping my arms around her and pulling Matty back into my chest. She settles in and I’m able to relax for a while before my alarm goes off, I pull myself from Matty and get into my workout clothes and head to the gym. I’ve been slacking recently and Dad has been looking to get me back on my toes. He’s already in and waiting for me. It feels like an old boxing movie with Dad taking a different approach to getting me ready. Katy enters shortly after my first break and I let Dad take over her training while I get into the heavy bag. A third door opening gets us all to pause and I see Matty in some school gym clothes looking a little out of place.

“What are you doing in my gym,” my Dad growls to Matty giving her his full attention.

“I need to learn a few things, I thought you could show me some stuff,” Matty replies with a little fear.

“This isn’t a dojo or self defense class; here I teach my family how to attack. This is up close and brutal,” Dad tells Matty walking around her.

“I understand, but if I’m going to do something in this fight I need to know how to do it right and I can’t think of anyone else who can teach me,” Matty replies trying to stand her ground.

Matty is looking to Katy and I for help but the two of us are like statues waiting for the show to start. Dad is sizing her up and I know he’ll help her if I asked but sadly it’s not about me asking. You want in you need to show you want in, I did it and Katy did it.

“Why are you in my family’s gym,” Dad asks again.

“Because aside from my father the only family I have is right here,” Matty says swallowing,” And I need help.”

Dad smiles and pats her on the back before having me move to work with Katy while he starts going over the basics and covering some of her strengths with Mathilda. We’re in there for another hour before Mom interrupts with breakfast and sees the four of us working. It’s an odd sight for Mom but she smiles before shaking it off and tells us that there is food on the table. One thing I will tell you about working out with my father is that we eat like horses. My Mom and Liz sit at the table in mild shock as three of us proceed to devour oatmeal, toast and sausage like we were starved for a month. I let the girls take the shower first and get the cold water treatment for myself. We all head out to school and the arrival of Matty with us has my girls talking. I start to shake it off and head to class when I see something that is about to make me a liar. One of the moralists has a few of his boys and is going after someone right in front of the library. It’s a one on four situation and the freshman punk looks like he’s about to get his stripes whether he likes it or not. I think I recognize the ring leader from one of my classes last year as I head over behind the moralists.

“Now maybe you want to explain to me why you have those piercings in your face here at school after I told you what would happen,” I hear the ringleader say to the punk.

The backup is a few white kids like the punk but the ring leader is a tall Asian kid. I almost laugh at the sight before coughing loud enough to get everyone’s attention.

“Why are you threatening him for something that it’s not your job to enforce,” I ask dropping my bag.

The backup doesn’t quite do its job of backing up their friend and start to make a hasty exit leaving me, the Yao Ming look alike and the punk alone close to class start.

“You think you can take me,” Asian giant asks with some authority.

“Honestly I don’t know and I don’t care. I do know that it’s not your place and I will stop you,” I tell him smiling.

“You threatening me,” He asks covering distance.

“Hao right, that’s your name? I remember we had third period last year,” I tell him reminding him of me as the punk makes a break for it,” we had to do that crappy project together.”

“Yeah we were in class together, so what,” Hao asks defensively.

“This isn’t you; you had me listening to Chinese rap for almost three weeks. You translated it so I could learn from the ‘liberated lyrics’. You even told me you thought my girlfriend Katy was hot,” I tell him remembering the point,” Now you’re an enforcer for someone who knows less about you than the guy who you worked with on a project last year?”

“Kyle and Heather believe in making our school better,” Hao says still defensive.

“Kyle is a prick who thinks that anyone who doesn’t follow what he says is someone that needs to be hurt and treated like crap. He doesn’t want better he wants submissive. And Heather is crazy, she’s my ex I know,” I tell Hao sitting down on a bench.

“And I should listen to you why,” Hao asks confused.

“Since you haven’t heard I am going to tell you personally. I believe in people being who they are not who other’s force them to be,” I say as Hao sits next to me,” Honestly I don’t know why you decided to join up with them but let me be the first to tell you it doesn’t suit you.”

“And you would know all this how,” He asks a little put off.

“I’ll make you a deal, you go to your meeting today and you ask them if you can have a seat at the decision makers table and if they don’t at least hear you out I’ll be waiting with my people in the gym,” I tell him grabbing my bag.

I leave him to his thoughts and head to first class. Most of the day is quiet and a few more small fires of people getting pushed around get put out by the numbers game, punks backing nerds, a couple nerds backing up a Goth. It’s nice to see people getting together for the right reasons and when I get to the gym during homeroom I have Jun and Isaac get started on their task.

“So here’s what I got with the leaders over the course of the day,” Jun says showing me his work on his laptop,” we’re looking at about eight real action takers along with Taylor, Kyle and Heather.”

“Okay well except for the last two we need to add these two,” I tell Jun showing him my data from Ryan,” Those are the last two names on my list and I need that list summed up by tomorrow evening.”

“How far are we supposed to go with information,” Isaac asks taking down notes.

“I want daily plans, I want locations and I’m going to want them as soon as it happens,” I tell them getting a weird look from Isaac and an expectant look from Jun.

As my two info gatherers get about setting up their consolidated findings I turn my attention to more pleasant matters. This mostly involves moving over to Kori and sitting with my back in between her legs and enjoying as she latches onto me in a warm embrace.

“How are you doing,” Kori asks quietly.

“A little hot but that’s because of this morning,” I tell her still a little put off about Mathilda’s promise this morning.

“Yeah honey, we didn’t know who was staying but that is what we were told was the terms and your Mom can get scary sometimes,” Kori tells me rubbing my shaved head.

“So you all decide to have someone stay the night but I can’t love up on you while you’re there. Am I being punished,” I joke leaning my head back.

“Hey it’s not like Matty didn’t want to break the rules either babe, but with her trying to get in on the training in the morning you might want to do something for Katy,” Kori tells me in a warning,” Her area is getting pushed in on a lot and she’s not one who complains.”

“Area, you all have defined zones now,” I ask confused.

“Baby she lives there and trains with you and your Dad, Matty wants to learn a little and Katy says she’s okay but she needs some one on one time,” Kori tells me before kissing my head.

Wonderful, Katy is feeling like she doesn’t have any me time anymore and I’m being asked to help fix it. My phone going off get’s me to pause and I catch Rachael’s number and show Kori who smiles at the call.

“Hey Rachael, you do know this is during classes right,” I joke answering the phone.

“Oh my god if you brush me off again I swear you will be finding a different girl friend Kyle,” I get yelled at me through the phone.

“Rachael, this isn’t Kyle,” I tell her getting her attention,” you called Guy, look at your phone.”

“Oh crap I’m so sorry, Guy,” I get after a pause,” I’ll call you back.”

“Wait Rachael don’t hang up,” I say stopping her,” I don’t know what happened but I can try to make it better.”

“Wait why are you trying to make it better for Kyle,” Rachael asks confused,” You don’t know him.”

“Not for him, I can for you,” I say getting a pause,” I’ll come by and pick you up today if you want and I can introduce you to my girls.”

I get a playful shove from Kori, and Katy starts to listen in. I can tell Rachael is debating it and I get told to hold on for a minute and wait. I don’t hear anything but I figure she’s doing something with her phone and after a few minutes I hear her pick up the line again.

“I’ll be waiting at my school for you, don’t keep me waiting,” Rachael says before hanging up.

“Okay so we get to meet the other girl today,” Katy says a confused.

“Yeah but we’re doing it at home,” I tell them,” Mom and Dad should be gone today but that means I want her treated nice.”

Kori is a little excited but Katy is not too enthused about another girl in our home. Class ends and we start to head out when Ben waves me down as it looks like a fight is brewing in the grass field by the busses. I hand my bag off to Kori and haul ass with Ben, Devin, Jun and Isaac following me fast. Sure enough I see Kyle and a few cronies squaring off against Hao. Looks like five on one but I never liked those odds and step in.

“Back off this is our club business,” Kyle warns me as I step in between him and Hao.

“Please Kyle, make me back off,” I reply smiling.

The crowd gathering has a good circle around us and while my people back off with a gesture Kyle’s are more skeptical and don’t leave quite so quickly. I am starting to feel like a fight is working up when I hear adult voices and it’s Kyle who breaks ranks and leaves. I watch the crowd disperse and turn to Hao who is a little worse for wear but still angry.

“They wanted to beat some obedience in me for challenging what Kyle had to say,” Hao tells me still hot.

“I know, and I tried to tell you didn’t I,” I tell him folding my hands behind my back,” Now you see what happens when you challenge the weak when they feel their power threatened.”

“And what about you and your power,” Hao asks pointing out my boys flanking me.

“We want him to lead but he listens to us as much as we do him,” Jun explains,” We chose him to lead and we follow him because he doesn’t push us around because we didn’t agree with him.”

Hao is considering Jun’s words as I start to leave and head back to the girls, He doesn’t follow but I see him get onto a bus alone. I’m back at the vehicles with the girls when Jun and Isaac start to give me the ‘hey boss’ look.

“Alright guys, let me hear it,” I tell them.

“He’s a mark,” Isaac says starting,” I got word that someone is going to try to get in with you so that he can help Kyle plan the next attack.”

“Isaac isn’t wrong on this Guy. We’ve pushed a lot and they’re not seeing any good news from their ‘recruitment’ teams,” Jun tells me warningly,” I think we should keep him at a distance or maybe plan something for him.”

“Isaac, are you sure enough to put Allison in the line of fire if we let him in,” I ask Isaac getting a wide eyed look.

“No man, I wouldn’t risk anyone just to make a point that we can find a spy,” Isaac says with no hesitation.

“Well some ancient Chinese warlords would disagree with you,” I say turning his face sour before smiling,” Add him to the list. We’ll come up with something.”

I get a wave off from the two of them and head off towards Rachael. It takes me a little bit to get there and I don’t greet her by getting off my bike but instead take out the spare helmet and while I don’t see her I start revving my engine in front of the school causing what few people there to stare. It takes about a minute before I see Rachael come out of a building; she’s wearing a beige coat and capri pants with some heeled boots. She has an odd look on her face seeing me like this. I hand her the spare helmet and once she’s on I leave the parking lot with as much speed as I can put out. The trip home isn’t brief with the traffic but we get there safely and once I’m off my bike I can see that I was right about Mom and Dad being out, thank god for parent date night. I can hear the girls talking in the living room and when I get the door open and step in with Rachael on my heels I can see all four of my tigresses staring at the new meat. Kori is wearing a purple turtleneck and blue jeans; Imelda is wearing one of my button up flannel shirts and a loose fitting pair of jeans also. Mathilda is in her basketball warm up suit rocking our school colors of white, red and black. Katy on the other hand is wearing a pair of tight black short shorts and a white button up dress shirt with a black tank top underneath.

“Hi girls, I’d like you to meet Rachael,” I say closing the door and turning to my girls,” Rachael this is Korinna, Imelda, Mathilda, and Katy.”

“Hi I didn’t think you’d all be so….,” Rachael starts but Kori cuts her off.

“Thought we’d be so what,” Kori asks sharply.

“Honestly I didn’t think you’d all be so attractive. I’ve heard about people having multiple partners but usually you see ugly people in the pictures,” Rachael says not realizing that she’s in the hunting grounds.

“So you think we’re too pretty for Guy is that it,” Imelda says almost growling.

“Oh no he’s handsome too, very rugged and fit,” Rachael says back pedaling.

“So we’re only barely good enough for him or too good for him,” Katy asks starting to show some anger.

“Whoa I’m not here to fight with anyone I just didn’t expect to see four attractive girls is all,” Rachael says almost reaching for the exit.

I can see it in my girls’ eyes, they’re toying with her and all of them start laughing about it hard. All of them stand and shake her hand with Mathilda getting the strangest look being so much taller than the others. I let Rachael take one of the recliners and I sit on the floor and listen in as the questions start. Who was first, what makes Guy different, what about other girls. All really standard questions considering the difference between me and my girls and every other couple our age.

“So you know he has sex with other girls and that’s okay,” Rachael asks trying to clarify,” It doesn’t worry you that someone is going to try to steal him away?”

“Not really, Guy’s heart is here,” Kori explains motioning to the other girls,” When he comes ‘home’ he comes home to us. So he fucks some girl and she develops a crush or something it doesn’t matter because at the end of the day he sleeps with one of us or sometimes all of us.”

“So no more girlfriends,” Rachael asks me getting all the girls to look with intent.

“Honestly I don’t think I could handle anymore,” I say getting an approving look from all my girls,” I thought three was it then I went down to Texas and met Imelda. She was a piece I was missing.”

“Okay I don’t understand what you mean by a piece of you,” Rachael says now a little more confused.

“Each of my girls is a part of me and I’m a part of them,” I say starting to take off my shirt and show my tattoo,” I feel like each of them is a piece of me and now that we’re together we feel whole.”

“Okay but what about them,” Rachael says still staring at my tattoo,” Do they feel like each other is a missing piece of them? Or are you a piece of them they were missing?”

“He’s that part of me that I keep hidden. All my anger and darkness, I can’t let it out and I never could,” Mathilda says getting looks from everyone,” but I don’t have to because he is that for me, for all of us. We keep him happy and warm and he feels our love. I might be the will or conscience, Kori is the heart, Katy the spirit and Imelda his passion but Guy…. Guy is unbound rage. I’ve seen him go after someone, he doesn’t hesitate or show remorse when he does.”

All the girls sit in quiet after Mathilda’s explanation and while Rachael understands she’s more worried about me now than any of my girls. More talking ensues and she starts to explain her problems with Kyle and his ‘secret’ life. I can tell Katy just wants to spill the beans but she keeps her mouth in check as we get into her growing frustration with him at his new school and the mysterious girl he talks to that isn’t her.

“Honestly if I didn’t know any better I’d say he was cheating but I don’t think he can,” Rachael says getting odd looks from my girls.

“Okay so chica, you think he couldn’t cheat on you why,” Imelda asks smirking,” because he’s a man?
