Chapter 67

**Blue**


Artemis and I passed out only a few minutes after our little romp. When I wake up I feel his arms wrapped around me and when I try to shift just a small amount he tightens his hold on me. It would be sweet if my bladder wasn’t about to revolt and cause some embarrassing drama far too early in the morning. So I try again to wiggle my way out of Artemis’s hold and once again he tightens his hold but this time its far too low and I’m worried I might burst like a grape.

“Artemis…” I say not too loudly but loud enough for him to hopefully hear.

He makes a sound but doesn’t respond other than to cuddle closer to me. Uh, why is he being a cuddly teddy bear when I need to make a quick escape? I clench my legs together and when there is absolutely no way I can hold it I decide to pinch his arm. He makes a sound between a grunt and a hiss, but it does the trick and I make a dash for the bathroom.

“What the fuck Blue!” He yells from past the door.

“Sorry!” I yell back.

I finally get some relief but something else happens that has me groining in annoyance. When I wipe there is clear sign that time of the month has come. Freaking TOM! This sucks! I realize I don’t have any supplies with me, and my panties are in the bedroom. What am I going to do? There is one person I know that could get here with everything I need but I need my phone and that is also currently in the other room. Thankfully the bathroom has dark blue towels and I use one to quickly wrap around myself and shuffle into the bedroom. I don’t say a word to Artemis and grab my stuff before rushing back into the bathroom and locking the door.

“Blue?” He calls before he knocks on the door. “Is everything okay?”

“Uh…yeah! I’m going to take a shower.” I yell back.

“Why don’t I join you?” He says in that low voice I love and tries to open the door. “Why is the door locked?”

“Because…uh…I didn’t want you sneaking in.” I say which isn’t a lie.

“Okay. I’ll grab us some coffee then. Any breakfast requests?” He asks.

Why is he so nice to me? It makes me so confused!

“Whatever you want is fine.”

“Okay.” I wait a few seconds to make sure he’s gone before I pull up Abigail’s number.

It rings a couple of times, but she answers. “Blue! Oh my gosh, are you okay?”

“Yeah. We’re hiding out at one of Alan’s places.” I tell her.

“Thank god. This is all so crazy! I can’t believe what Artemis’s father is trying to do. He really is a monster and his wife is playing the victim card so well. She’s all over the news telling the world that Artemis has always been a troubled soul. Even going so far as to say that he is mentally unstable.” She babbles and I try to keep up but it’s so much that it’s hard to. “Then she tried to rope his sisters into backing her up but it’s been radio silence from both of them. I have no idea what the end game here could be.”

“Oh my gosh. I can’t believe we weren’t here. Maybe Artemis could have explained before all of this happened. I hate that I’m causing him so many problems with the media. Now his father moving in on his business…I wish I could fix all this.” I start to feel sick to my stomach.

Or that might just be the nausea that I deal with during this time of the month.

“No one can fix this than him. He knows how to deal with his family, but he has a plan so I’m not too worried.” She doesn’t sound it either.

She was kicked out of her job and she sounds calm about it. Am I the only one worried? Even Alan didn’t seem too worried.

“Oh! What did you call for? I sort of steam rolled you there.”

“It’s okay! I want to know what’s going on, so feel free to dump it all on me. The reason I was calling is because my period came and I don’t have anything with me. Would it be possible to have some dropped off?” I feel a little weird asking her for this but I doubt I could go anywhere by myself right now.

“Yes of course! I’ll get everything and bring it myself. What do you prefer, pads or tampons? A cup maybe?” I consider my options.

Before it was less messy to use tampons even though they could be a bit more expensive, but you get more in a box than pads. Now I could consider using a cup, but that sounds really messy since I’m not familiar with them.

“Tampons is fine.” I prefer familiarity for now.

“Great! Ill grab those and be there in ten. I’ll ask Alan for directions. See you soon!” She ends the call before I can tell her that she should call Artemis, but whatever.

I decide to take that shower I mentioned to Artemis. I’m a bit of a mess anyway with his wanting to knock me up and all. The shower in this bathroom is huge and since I now know what Alan gets up to in that huge bed I can guess why this thing is huge too. There is also a big bathtub right next to it in case a group shower isn’t doing the trick. For a split second I consider what that would be like, but Artemis is more than enough for me for now. I also would probably stab any girl who got close to him in bed. He might be way out of my league but I won’t lose him without a fight.

Uh, he’s turned me into a jealous bitch. Not a pretty thing to be.

My thoughts drift away from all that when I feel liquid rolling down my leg. I look down to see a drop of red making a line on the inside of my thigh.

“Shit!”

I quickly step into the shower and fumble with the weird panel on the wall. There are a bunch of options and a ton of jets to deal with but I select the last settings and figure I’ll have to deal with whatever weird configuration Alan uses in this thing. The first spray is conveniently pointed at my crotch and cleans off the blood quickly. Another spray comes from directly in front of me at about the level of my breasts. I can’t help but roll my eyes at Alan’s perversion, but I’ll admit it feels good. The next thing to turn on is the shower head that’s right above me. It’s warm and the water smells like…apples.

Scented water? How on earth did he manage that? I’ll have to ask because it woud be cool to get that for our place. Wherever that will be…

I tilts my head back to let the water slide down my chest and close my eyes to try and imagine where we might go now. Would Artemis want to move at all, or would he bump up security to his old place? I’m okay with living in some apartment but I loved the boat house thing. It was cute and looking out on the water was beautiful and calming. He wouldn’t get rid of that house, would he?

It would be cool if maybe a little selfish if he would let me design the place. I’m not a skilled decorator but it would be so cool to make our home more personal and less clinical like his office. That reminds me that I wanted to buy some colorful pillows for those hard couches he has in the office. We also need to get some photos taken together for a picture for his desk since he said he wanted one. We didn’t have the originally wedding where there would have definitely be pictures taken but maybe we can get dressed up and have a professional snap a few pictures.

That sounds amazing actually! I wonder if Artemis would be up for something like that or if he would think it’s silly. Maybe it is a little silly.

Truthfully, I don’t remember the last time I had my picture taken before this hole thing started. I think this past week has been the most I have ever had my picture taken. Which sort of sucks since not one of them paints me in the best light.

Yeah I need to get at least one nice picture taken. Imagining me in my wedding dress that Artemis picked out and him dressed in his wedding suit for photos makes me smile. I might have to bribe him into it, but we need a nice picture of us to share with everyone. That reminds me that Abigail mentioned something about setting up an Instagram account. I could post a couple nice photos of Artemis and I to replace the horrible ones.
