All Hell Has Just Broken Loose...

I woke up at 6am and forced myself out of bed and away from my warm, beautiful, sleeping wife. I opened the door to the hallway and was hit by the scent of..... Breakfast :D
Bacon, eggs, sausage, biscuits, pancakes.... and...Kitty?
"Why are you up so early?" I asked rubbing my eyes.
"I have to open today, remember?" Kit said with a "you should know this dumbass" type voice.
"But..you cooked breakfast..KitKat Curtis cooked...did I miss something?" I was still too asleep to ponder on why Kitty would even attempt to make breakfast.
I poured some coffee, ate breakfast, got dressed and then headed out to the restaurant with Kit.

The grand opening went better then I had expected, and we already have regulars coming in every week. The outcome still continues to blow me away.
"Hey Kitten...what should be the special today?" I yelled into the kitchen while glancing over the menu. Just then, Jelly had walked through the front door.
"Mmm, Hello gorgeous." I said, squeezing her waist and kissing her lips.
And then Kit walked through the kitchen door....
"Let me see.." She took the menu from my grasp, and awkwardly placed her hand on my arm.
"The four cheese ravioli...with calamari." She suggested. She leaned in closer to me and whispered, "It's one of your best." then winked and trotted back into the kitchen.
I turned to Jels, "Is she on some new medication we should know about?" I asked, confused.
"Oh I'm sure this has nothing to do with medication." Jelly replied through gritted teeth.
Neither of them spoke to each other all day. And through the whole thing TwoBit and I stayed out of the loop. We found it best not to get mixed in with our wives trying to kill each other...that never ends well.
But...to my unfortunate-ness, things had to get worse -.-
The next night...I got some from work and took a shower. I walked out into the hall wearing only a towel..as I always do. Jelly was sitting on the couch in the living room. I had just started to open the door to my room when Kitty suddenly appeared in front of me....and the next thing I know, my towel is on the floor.
"What the hell Kit??" I shouted.
"I just wanted to see if it's as big as Jel's says it is." Kitty smirked.
Jelly was turned around with a I'm going to fucking kill you look on her face.
I scrambled for the doorknob and hid myself on the other side of the door.
I could hear Kitty in the hall, "Mmm, it is as big as she says.." then she trotted off to her room.

Jelly walked in the room a few minutes later, slamming the door behind her.
"I can't believe shes doing this..she just doesn't know when to stop.. I swear I'm going to fucking kill her.." hot tears welled up in Jelly's eyes.
I pulled her on to the bed. There was no emotion on her face, but tears were still gliding down her cheeks. She sat softly on my stomach, looking down at me.
"You're mine Dimitri....no one's gonna fuck with that...especially not my best friend." She said.
"I know baby... she's just trying to make you mad.." I hope. "Don't take it personal, alright?" I said, pulling the strands of hair that clung to her damp cheeks.
Jelly sighed, "I can't help it Dim...she knows how to get to me."
I sat up and pulled her chest against mine.
"I love you!" I whispered.
She played with the hair that hung just at the base of my neck. "I love you too." She said smiling. "Let's not let her sleep tonight." Jelly winked.
"I am so down for that idea." I said, pulling off her clothing.


All I have to say is... Bring it on KitKat Curtis....cause I just won this round ;)

Life in a Nutshell...or..a post..

Well the 'Europe' trip was an epic fail... blame Chase -.- I guess we'll have to wait till after Christmas for that.

Another thing.... I'M GETTING MARRIED! :D Jelly should keep you updated on that.

I am currently working on the finishing touches for my restaurant :D... but I really need a name :/ any ideas? I hope to open it after my honeymoon ;)

..and I know this post sucks but I promise I'll come up with a better one later :D

New Opportunities

Didn't realize it had really been this long since my last post o.O I guess I kept too busy.

Chase got this idea to plan this epic romantic getaway across Europe for sometime near Thanksgiving, with Jelly, Kit, TwoBit, and Dawn. I can't say I'm exactly complaining, but I just got the deeds to the site of my new restaurant last week, and I hope to have that up and running soon... I don't know how I can just leave for an awesome trip :(
I found the perfect place for the home of my restaurant in the heart of downtown Tulsa. Not too many greasers and not too many socs, so I don't have to deal with that drama. I put a down payment on the place, graciously provided by my grandmother, and are having the builders start on Wednesday of next week. I had a few designers come in and look at the place and they drew up quite a few sketches for me to choose from, so when the builders are finished the place should look somewhat like this......






There's the main floor with seating, and kitchen, and all that, then upstairs it has a complete bar and lounge area.
I have to say that I am quite excited, and hope everything goes smoothly.
I have already recruited some of you as bartenders and waiters/waitresses, let me know if anyone else would like a job :D
TwoBit, Kit, and Jelly have been my guinea pigs at dinner time every night, tasting the recipes I will have cooked in this restaurant.
Unfortunately, I will have no time for the DX anymore :/ but hopefully it will be a good trade.
I have yet to come up with a name, so I should probably work on that.....
And BTW, did i mention you will all get free food :)

The Day That You Will Always Remember As the Day Kit and Dim Went to Jail

"Get your lazy ass outta bed and let's go somewhere." Kit yelled while she attempted to shove me off the bed.
After more yelling and hitting I finally rolled over, "Well...your not exactly who I wanted to wake up to."
"Yeah Yeah, Jelly's at work so your stuck with me on your day off." She grinned with that smile that told you KitKat Curtis had something devious planned.
"Kit, if you don't get out of here I'm going to get out of this bed." I threatened.
She looked confused, "But that's exactly what I want you to do..."
"See those clothes over there Kit?" I pointed to a pair of boxers and a t-shirt lying on the floor across the room. "thats what I was supposed to sleep in last night..." I said.
When she came to the realization that I had no clothes on, she ran screaming into the hallway.

I glanced at the clock, 11:00, it wasn't even that late, and I had just gone to sleep around four am, but I decided it was now or never, threw on some jeans, and headed to the kitchen for coffee.
"You smell like sex, go take a shower." Kit complained as she rummaged though the fridge for most likely nothing at all. I walked up behind her and rubbed my shoulder against her back, "Here have some.." I said.
She screamed, "Great, now I have to burn these clothes..." she threw a little hissy fit then headed off to her room for more clothes.

We just started driving to nowhere in particular. Kit was giving me directions, but I had a feeling she had no intention of reaching a real destination. After about an hour, the car started to make a strange noise as smoke emerged from the hood. I pulled off the road, and turned the car off, but when I tried to open the door, it wouldn't budge. We attempted several times to unlock it, but it was jammed.
"Alright," Kit said, "im breaking a window."
I grabbed her arm before she had a chance to hurl it through the glass.
"This is a '67 Limited Edition Chevy Camero.... no way in hell I'm letting you bust a window." I said very sternly in all seriousness.
"Then what the hell are we supposed to do?" She asked.
I shrugged, "Wait for someone." I suggested.
"Kit pulled out her phone. "Of course, no signal."
Kit looked at the road, she turned her head left then right.
"Where in the middle of fucking no where." Her voice raised.
"Someone is bound to drive down this road within the next hour." I was trying to remain positive, with the chance of getting out of here with no broken windows.

An hour passed, and there was no sign of any life within thirty miles. I could feel the sweat trickling down my back and wished I had a water bottle stowed in the glove compartment.
Another hour later and I though I was going to burn alive in the summer heat. I pulled of my shirt and tossed it in the back seat.
"Good Idea." Kit said. Rolling up her tank top exposing her too skinny torso. "It's a good thing I wore boy shorts today.." She said before removing her jeans.
"What the hell." I shrugged and decided to pull mine off as well. It was so hot I really didn't care who I was sitting half naked in a car with.
The sun started going down and it cooled off a bit. It was nearly was nearly six o'clock. I was listening to Kit press the unlock button for the last two hours.
"Kit, it hasn't worked the last 241641321658413241 times you've pressed it, it's not going to work the next 42412468476343543."
She sighed and threw her feet up on the dash. I laid my head against the steering wheel and closed my eyes. It felt like only a few minutes later when there was a tapping on the window. I looked up and saw a cop standing outside. THANK GOD!
He motioned for me to open the door, I yelled at him through the glass, trying to explain that it was jammed. He reached for the door handle and oddly it opened from the outside.
"Well, what do we have here?" He said.
He looked about fifty with a pudgy belly that made me think he was one of those small town sheriffs you see at the doughnut shop every morning.
Kit and I started rambling on about what happened to the car and how we had been sitting out in the heat all day.
"Looks to me like we have a couplea kids getting it on, on the side of the road. You can't fool me I know how you teenagers are these days..." He went on.
"No sir, it really wasn't like that we just.." He cut me off.
"Oh so your going to lie to me about it? I ain't dumb boy. I can see that little purple box in the back seat."
Having no idea what he was talking about, I glanced back. DAMMIT! When Kit realized what it was she gave me a look that said 'you're shit stupid.'
"It's a long story." I said, trying to figure out how the KY Intensity box got in the back seat of my car in the first place......ooohh,... right...

"No, really it's just a misunderstanding sir, the car won't work.." I tried to explain again.
He snatched the keys from my hand and turned the ignition. It roared to life.
Are you serious? What sick joke was God playing this time?
"Uh huh, that's what I thought." He said, very unhappy.
He looked over at Kit. "Did that stuff really work darlin?" He asked.
Kit's jaw dropped, appalled at the question.
"Did you scream so loud the racoons could hear ya?" He added.
"Is he fucking kidding me?" Kit whispered.

He took us 'downtown' which looked more like our neighborhood.
"Public Indecency, Lying to a cop, and you sir caught in the act with a minor."
That part hadn't even crossed my mind, but once he said it, im pretty sure I nearly pissed my pants.
"We're going to have to contact your legal guardian young lady." He said to Kit, who was slumped in the chair with her hands cuffed, still in her underwear.
"Great," she said, "How the hell am I supposed to explain this to Darry?"

The sheriff escorted us to one of the few cells that lined the hallway. He slammed the bars shut and walked away whistling.
Kit turned around, she looked like she was ready to punch me in the face. "Couldn't I have just broken the window?" She asked. At that moment I wasn't so opposed to it.
We weren't there for long when another cop unlocked the cell, setting us free. I walked through the door into the lobby and came to an immediate halt when I saw who our 'springer' was.
She stared at us with one of those looks your mother gave you when you were in trouble.
"Jelly, I can explain." I said standing there in just my underwear.
"You know these two?" The sheriff said from behind the front desk.
"Yep, that's my best friend.... and this is my fiance." She explained.
The sheriff burst into laughter spilling his coffee on his uniform.
Jelly didn't take her eyes off of us. "You two have a lot of explaining to do."

All For Love

I can't say I missed Tulsa while chilling on the beach in California, but I am glad to be back home after two much needed weeks of vacation.
During those two weeks there was skinny dipping, prank pulling, heavy drinking, and I'm not going to lie, there was a little sex on the beach (and I'm not talking alcohol ;)
But if I had to choose a highlight point, it would definitely be our last night. It was just after dinner and Chase and Dawn decided to go out on the boardwalk for rides and fireworks an such things, but Jelly and I decided to stay behind.
I had walked downstairs from just taking a shower when I noticed Jelly sitting on the couch. I placed one hand over her eyes and guided her with the other.
"I want to show you something." I whispered softly in her ear.
It was dark, nearly midnight, but the glow from the lighthouses in the distance gave it just enough clarity to see where I was going. We walked out to the edge of the dock extending nearly fifty yards from the shore. I guided her carefully on the edge letting her feet dangle over. I removed my hand an pointed to the water below us. It glowed a soft blue, with sudden flashes of purple here and there.
"What is it?" Jelly asked.
"Jellyfish. They always come out here before a storm comes in." I explained.
Her gaze held on the water below, amazed at the scenery. My eyes never left her face, the glittering of the reflection on her eyes, the way her hair danced in the violent wind, every breath she took I cherished deeply. After a minute or two she looked over at me.
"You know I was thinking, when we get back maybe we can go pick out our 'save the dates'." She said.
"Jels, to choose your 'save the dates', you have to know your date." I clarified, a bit puzzled.
She looked back at the flashing of the lights below the water's surface.
"December 9th." She said.
"December 9th?" I have bugged Jelly every day about setting a wedding date, since the moment I put a ring on her finger. I figured it would take some time to think about, and I didn't want to rush it, but I couldn't help myself, I needed that date, it made things seem more official.
Jelly just simply nodded with a smile.
I suddenly forgot where I was, the beautiful scene extending beyond the shore, the twinkling lights of ships far in the distance, the sound of the waves meeting the sand. My lips crashed into hers, not with violence, but with passion. I didn't care where I was, I didn't care that we were heading home tomorrow, the only thing that surrounded me...was her.
I pulled her against me, my fingers winding in her hair. She tugged at my shirt, which was off in the next half second. My lips tickled her neck as she laid back on the dock.
The feeling inside of me was something I had never felt before. I didn't think I could feel more strongly for her than I already did, but something was different. This time it wasn't just about sex, it was about loving her. There was nothing wrong or shameful about it, like those dreams where your naked in a crowd and no one seems to care. If the entire population of California had been standing right there I can't say it would have bothered me. It was no longer about desire, it was purely all for love.

Much Needed Beach Time

"I want to go to the beach." Chase said randomly while coming down stairs. "I'm a California guy, I need the beach!!" His voice raised.
He plumped down next to me on the couch, "We should take a va-ca with Dawn and Jelly..." He added.
I wasn't sure if he was serious or not, but I thought about it for a minute, then pulled out my cell and dialed Jelly.
"Hey babe, pack your bags, we're leaving for Cali tomorrow." I said. Jelly was not at all opposed to the sudden spring in decision to go on vacation.
"Hell yes." Chase said as he dialed Dawn's number on his phone.
I made a few other calls and had it arranged in no time. Grans seemed overjoyed at the idea of me visiting, along with wanting to see the engagement ring she graciously paid for.

We arrived at the airport at noon the next day. I presented my ticket to the lady behind the desk,
and she led us off away from the usual boarding area.
"Here is your flight." She motioned to the tall glass window, and sitting just outside was...a private jet.
"Wow, Grans really went all out." I said.
So while on our four hour flight, we had catering, movies, video games, and of course alcohol.
We landed and called a cab that took us straight to the beach house.

"Here we are, the Ryder Family beach house." I said when we pulled up.
"Your family has their own beach house?" Dawn asked surprised.
"Well actually half of it is Chase's, but it's in the Ryder name." I teased.
"Anything else I should know about?" Jels questioned.
I laughed, "Oh tons." I winked at her.
The first thing we did was chill in the jacuzzi. Brilliant Chase, turned on the jets before filling the tub, so once the water reached the bottom jet, it went insane and sprayed up to almost the top of the trees, and then I think Chase crapped his pants.
After taking a shower, Jels and I went to bed. I don't know what Chase an Dawn did. ;)
