Weekend away... Andy Barber x reader one shot
(The Florist next-door Part 17)
This is a oneshot that can be read as Part 17 or on its own.
Warnings: 18+ readers only, swearing, male masterbation, graphic details of homemade porn, use of nicknames (daddy, sweetheart, baby), oral (f-receiving), outdoors sex, technically cheating, sexy lumberjack Andy
"Andy!" You called out from the kitchen. "Andy, come quick!"
Andy quickly ran down the stairs as fast as he could, being careful not to trip. "What? What's wrong?" He asked in a slight panic as he ran up to you. "Y'kay?"
You nodded grinning at him, "Give me your hands." You held yours out for his.
Andy raised his eyebrow as he did as you asked. "Why?"
"Just wait." You giggled as you placed his large hands over the curve of your swollen belly and laid yours over his.
Andy's eyes widened as he felt something tap against his hand. "Wow... He's really in there." His eyes filled with tears as he smiled at you.
"Or she." You reminded him making him roll his eyes playfully. Your eyes lit up as Jacob walked into the room. "Jacob, come feel."
He raised his eyebrow at you, "Seriously?"
You nodded, grabbing his hand and pulled him towards you and his dad.
He let out a huff as he let you put his hand on your belly next to Andy's. "What am I-" Jacob quickly snatched his hand back. "That's weird."
"Jacob," Andy tutted as you chuckled. "It's not weird. That's your baby brother or sister in there."
Jacob nodded. "We're being kicked by another human from the inside of, Y/N. It's weird."
"Huh..." You looked at Andy, "He has a point."
Andy nodded, "Yeah... It's weird."
You shared a look with each other before the three of you burst out laughing.
Andy suddenly woke, his dream quickly fading away as he looked around the room he was in and remembered where he was.
His dream had felt so real, he almost missed it. He'd never thought about having another kid, Jacob was always enough, but since the two of you admitted your feelings for one another, he'd felt himself craving it. He wanted to have a family with you. He wanted Jacob to be a big brother. He wanted to see Jacob roll his eyes as his little brother or sister annoyed him. Andy knew Jacob would secretly love it but he wouldn't let on, just like he does whenever Andy wants to spend time with him.
He smiled to himself as he watched you sleep peacefully beside him.
When the two of you arrived the previous afternoon, Andy was worried that perhaps he hadn't picked the right cabin.
It was somewhere up the side of a mountain, surrounded by trees and although it was on the smaller side, it was still luxurious. It had a hot tub on the deck, a big claw foot bath tub and big fireplaces the required a lot of wood chopping. But when he saw how your eyes lit up as you spun around to face him, he knew he made the right decision.
This weekend was about the pair of you relaxing and just being a couple, being able to forget about everything else that wasn't in that cabin for a couple of days.
Andy decided since it was still early he'd make you breakfast before waking you,letting you sleep as long as possible. You deserved it after he tired you out.
The pair of you were at it like rabbits yesterday, the excitement of being alone getting the better of you.
Andy shook his head with a soft chuckle as he thought back.
You brought out a side of him that he thought had died a long time ago. The two of you had had more sex in the past few weeks than he and Laurie had had in the last few years.
He felt like a young man again with you. Sure he wasn't that old but he was still nearly forty. Laurie had made him feel empty and trapped. With you, he felt loved and wanted, needed by someone who couldn't keep their hands to themselves just as much as he couldn't.
Andy looked down at you as you shifted in bed, moaning softly as the bed covers fell down and revealed your bare breasts. God, you were beautiful. Andy moved his hand down to his hardening cock and gave it a soft palm.
Have some control, Barber. The poor girl will be sore after last night.
With a deep sigh and a hard on, Andy hoped out of bed with his cell in his hand and went into the bathroom deciding to have a shower to calm himself down before he headed down to make breakfast.
With the door shut and the shower running, Andy opened his cell and found the folder that was hidden away. It contained all the pictures and videos he had of the two of you together. Not that he needed any help getting himself off, his imagination was more than enough but he couldn't help himself. He loved hearing your beautiful noises.
Andy hopped into the shower once he'd propped his cell up facing the shower with a video of you on all fours and your ass in the air.
Andy was fucking you hard and fast from behind, your cunt (that he'd already spent ages eating out like a man starved) was practically sucking his cock back in, begging to be full as he shoved his thumb into your asshole with one hand and recorded everything with the other hand. You were using one hand to rub your clit as you moaned like a whore.
"That's it... Taking my cock so well... You gonna be my good girl?... You gonna let daddy fill you up?... Hmm? Gonna let daddy fuck you full of cum?"
Andy leaned against the glass of the shower as the hot water ran over his broad shoulders and back, his mouth fell open as he pumped his cock in time with the video.
"Fuck," Andy moaned as he watched himself on the pull all the way out of your pussy to reveal your abused hole before he shoved his cock back in making you cry out in pleasure.
Andy's head fell back as he thought about how it feels to be inside of you.
He moaned deeply, using his other hand to fondle his balls as he twisted his hand around his cock. "Oh, fuck..."
Andy's eyes flicked over to his cell as he heard himself cry out in pleasure.
Andy moaned along with himself as he came over his hand, his eyes glued to his screen.
Andy pulled his cock out of you with a breathy chuckle. "Look at that. Fucking beautiful..." His cum leaked out of your hole before he brushed his fingers against you, scooping his cum up and pushing it back inside you making you moan loudly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Do you know how to do this?" You asked Andy as the two of you stood outside where the fire wood was kept.
This morning you were woken up by the smell of a delicious breakfast in bed brought to you by an equally delicious looking Andy. After the pair of you laid in bed and ate breakfast (with the occasional make-out) you dressed for the day before heading outside. You went for a walk around the small woods that was by the cabin before Andy said he should chop some more fire wood before it rained.
"Yes, I do." Andy nodded.
"Really? So, you chop a lot of wood during your cases?" You asked playfully.
Andy let out a soft sigh as he looked at you. "Believe it or not, I did go camping with my buddies from college. Had to chop wood then, even built fires."
You nodded, "Okay... So why couldn't you put the tent up in the garden then?" You asked trying not to laugh.
Andy sighed again, "Things weren't as complicated back then, okay?"
"Sure. I get it... Back then you probably used sticks and leaves to make shelter, right? Or lived in a cave." You giggled.
Andy put his hands on his hips as he glared at you, "Do you want a spanking? 'Cause I'll happily give you one out here."
You held your hands up, "Sorry, I'll behave."
Andy hummed not quite believing you. He grabbed a log from the pile and placed it on top of the stump where the axe was resting against then picked up the axe.
Your mouth fell open as you watched Andy swing his arms around and smash the axe into the log, splitting it in two. Your lumberjack Andy fantasy was coming true right in front of you. You but your bottom lip as you continued to watch Andy, it was way hotter than you thought it would be.
You watched him repeat the job a few times before you cleared your throat, folding your arms across your chest as you watched him, "You really can chop wood."
Andy smirked as he looked up at you, "Want to have a go?"
You scoffed, "There's no way in hell, I can do that without chopping my foot off." You said.
Andy chuckled putting the axe down and held his hand out to you. "Come here. I'll help."
You let out a heavy sigh and crossed your arms. Took Andy's hand and let him guide you to stand in front of him.
He put his hands on your hips, "Okay, put your feet a little wider, like that..." Andy then took the axe and held it in front of you. "Now, wrap your hands around it, one there... One there," He placed hands overs yours, lifting the axe so it was in front of you.
His thick arms were wrapped around you, his whole body caging you in as he pressed himself against you.
You gasped as Andy rubbed his cock against your ass cheeks. "Andy," You giggled as he dropped his face against the side of your neck and began to kiss you. "I thought you were going to teach me-oh, god," You moaned as he lightly bit and sucked your neck.
He chuckled, "I am," He kissed your cheek before clearing his throat. "Okay... Were gonna lift on three... one, two, three," You raised your arms in the air with Andy before bringing the axe down and smashing it into the log.
Andy took the axe from you as you began jumping up and down in celebration. He shook his head with a chuckle, sticking the axe into the stump as he watched you.
"That was awesome." You threw your arms around his neck and kissed him.
"You can have a go on your own if you like." Andy said as he placed his hands on your waist.
You shook your head. "I'm good."
"Okay..." Andy nodded. "Well, how about we make your fantasy come true?" He asked with a playful smirk. His hands moving down over the curve of your ass and giving it a squeeze.
"It's pretty much come true already." You but your bottom lip as he leaned in and kissed your cheek.
Andy hummed, moving his lips down your neck, "What about the fucking against a tree part?" He smirked against your throat.
Your breath caught as Andy began to run his tongue over your pulse. "What if... Someone, sees?" You moaned softly.
"We're the only people round, sweetheart. And I know the perfect spot." He reached up with his left hand and cupped your face, pressing his lips against yours.
Andy took your hand before he lead you around the side of the cabin. He turned off the little path into the trees, guiding you through until he stopped walking.
"Look," He pointed through the trees, pulling you to stand in front of him.
You gasped, your breath being taken away by the beautiful view. "Wow," You smiled, "It's... Beautiful."
Andy rested his chin on your shoulder as wrapped his arms around you from behind. "Yeah... It's is." He smiled at you as you turned around to look at him.
You pushed yourself up on your tiptoes as you wrapped your rms around his neck and pressed your lips against his softly, "It's the perfect spot." You whispered.
Andy smiled down at you as he cupped your face and kissed you again. "Stand back, sweetheart." He whispered.
You nodded and moved back until your back pressed against a tree.
Andy dropped to his knees in front of you with a smirk as he hooked his fingers into the waist band of your leggings and pulled them down your thighs. You bit your bottom lip as you watched Andy look up at you.
"No panties?" He raised his eyebrow at you.
You shook your head with a small giggle.
Andy shook his head with a soft chuckle, "Naughty girl."
You let out a gasp as Andy leaned forwards and threw your leg over his shoulder and pressed his face between your thighs.
You moaned softly as you ran your fingers through his hair. "Oh, Andy..." Your mouth fell open as he sucked tour clit before running his tongue up your slit. "Oh God!" You cried out as he pushed his tongue inside of you.
"S'good," He moaned against you.
You moaned deeply as Andy shook his head side to side, fucking you with his tongue as his fingers dug into the globes of your ass.
Your toes curled as Andy sucked on your clit, working your until you were coming with a scream all over his face. If it wasn't for him holding you against the tree you'd have fallen down for sure.
Andy unhooked your leg and slowly stood up with a grin. He let his hands trail up your sides, raising your shirt as they did until your breast were on show. Your head fell back with a deep moan as Andy fondled them, licking and sucking one pebbled nipple before moving on to the other.
He pulled back from you with pop and smirked, "You okay, sweetheart?"
You nodded taking on deep breaths. "I'm good." You smiled up at him with a soft chuckle.
Andy reached up and cupped your face as he pressed a loving kiss against your lips. You moaned at your taste in his tongue as he deepened the kiss.
Andy quickly unbuckled his belt and pushed his pants down, "Turn around, sweetheart," He said before giving you a quick peck.
You let out a small giggle turned around to face the tree. Andy gripped your hips and pulled your ass out as he kicked your legs apart with his foot.
"That's it," Andy said as he took a hold of his thick cock and ran the leaky tip through your wet folds. He bit hit bottom lip as the head if his cock filled your hole.
"Don't tease, Andy, please." You whined.
Andy did as you wanted and slowly pushed the rest if his cock inside of you. You both moaned in unison as your warm cunt engulfed his cock.
His hands gripped your hips as he bottomed out. "Fuck," He grunted, feeling you clenched around him.
Andy began to move, making you moan with each stroke if his cock.
"That's it," He groaned, "Takin' my cock s'good." Andy brought his right hand down on your ass cheek making you cry out. He picked up the pace a little as he used the same hand to slide back under your shirt to grope your breast.
Your head fell back with a high pitched moan as Andy pinched your nipple and fucked you a little deeper.
"Fuck! Baby, you close?" Andy grunted as your cunt squeezed his cock.
You nodded whimpering. "Harder, Andy, please." You moaned pushing your ass back to meet him.
"Fahk-" Andy let go of your breast and slid his hand down your stomach until his fingers pressed against your clit. "Come on, baby. Cum for me." He rubbed your clit as he fucked you harder and fast making you cry out. "Oh, shit," Andy's mouth fell open as he felt you cum around his cock.
Andy moved forwards, resting his left hand beside your head in the tree, caging you in with his broad shoulders and arms so his weight pressed into you. He kissed your neck softly as he began to fuck you from a new angle, his fingers still rubbing your clit in circles.
You moaned, babbling incoherent words as you wrapped your arm around him, digging your nails into his backside.
He pressed his forehead against your temple and whispered, "I love you, Y/N."
You reached up with your arm and threaded your fingers through his hair as you turned head to look at him. "I love you too, Andy." You crashed your lips against his in a hungry passionate kiss as a third orgasm ripped through you.
Andy stilled, holding you against the tree as he too came, your mouth claiming his moans as the pair of you continued to kiss, neither of you aware of the rain that had slowly started to fall. Neither of you cared. Nothing else mattered as you held each other.

Each pairing will be revealed on the day I post and shared on my sideblog, @navybrat817-sideblog. It may be dark, fluffy, smutty, or a combination of things. It may be 500 words or over 3k. It may incorporate an Autumn or a Halloween theme. Who knows? It's nonsense! đ
In fact, I'm calling it Navy's Trick or Treat Nonsense! I'll be using that as a tag, so feel free to filter if you don't wish to see these fics. Moodboard and banner by yours truly. Divider by the lovely @firefly-graphics. Enjoy! đ§Ą

Fic & Author Recommendations Wrapped 2022
This is a first I am doing this but I felt that I want to share what Iâve been reading for the past couple of months.Â
Some authors you may already know and some, maybe not yet. But what they all have in common is that they make really amazing stories which I believe should be shared to everyone.
The categories will simply be separated by Dark and Non-Dark. I think itâs easier that way, but I will mention either way if they (the non-dark ones) are fluff, angst or simply smut.Â
Dark
Unsolicited (Lloyd Hansen x Reader) by @darkficsyouneveraskedfor Summary: You run into a rude stranger at the mall, but this wonât be just another chance encounter.
All in the Family (Silverfox!Loki x Reader) by @darkficsyouneveraskedforâ Summary:Â Your new boyfriend invites you to meet his parents for the holidays.
Wallflower (Silverfox!Thor x Reader) by @darkficsyouneveraskedforââ Summary: Your mother meets a new man, but he doesnât seem very interested in her.
High Value Hero (Steve Rogers x Reader) by @rustytricycle Summary:Â Americaâs golden boy, Steve Rogers, doesnât have the most modern view of women behind closed doors. And the podcasts his buddy Sam has introduced him to donât help the situation. Unfortunately for you, you catch his eye when you become his next door neighbor.
The Fall of Aphrodite (ThorKi x Reader) by @cherienymphe Summary: You have the hearts of both of the princes, but nothing good lasts forever.
If I canât have you (Andy Barber x Reader) by @cockslutpadaleckiâ Summary: After your professor calls off your affair, you wonât take no for an answer. Andy loves you and you love himâ youâre meant to be.â
Fixer-Upper (Lumberjack!Steve x Reader) by @straywordsâ Summary: You move to the countryside but life isnât the cottage daydream you hoped for.
Grey
Put You In Your Place (Stepdad!Andy Barber x Stepdaughter!Reader) by @cockslutpadalecki Summary: Andy is sick of his stepdaughter continuously stepping out of line, and when he catches her spiking the punch at Jacobâs sixteenth birthday party, heâs had enough. Itâs time he teaches her a lesson.
Show Some Respect (James Conrad x OFC) by @ladycamillewrites Summary:Â Louise, the adventurous daughter of a Marine General was assigned Capt. Conradâs expedition troop. Soon tempers clash and Conrad has to make his position clear.
Non-Dark
Legend: đ - Smut / đ - Fluff / đ - Angst
Poker Face (Loki x Reader) by @mochie85ââ đ â Summary: Will you win a game of strip poker against the god of mischief?
Itâs Always Been You (Loki x Reader) by @sarahscribblesââ đ â Summary: Loki follows you from the Yule celebration with one question on his mind.
Come Around Sundown (Tattooed!DBF!Steve Rogers x Reader) by @cockslutpadaleckiâ đ â Summary: What happens at Christmas is never just a one time thing, and when summer break rolls around, you find yourself repeating past mistakes. Or is it a mistake?
Chocolate and Promises (Loki x F!Reader) by @michelleleewiseâ đđ Summary: You have been friends with Loki awhile, so when he locks himself away you make it your mission to get to the bottom of it.â
Give these writers some lovinâ and donât forget to reblog if you liked their fics. Likes are nothing but reblogs are everything. Also, feedback is key! Enjoy! đ
p.s. you can also send me some of your recommendations. Just slide in my ask or my DMs.

He comes to her to make a deal and get her to back off, but a Peaky Blinder never backs down from a fight. | HOT! HOT! HOT!
And They Were Roommates by staygold483 >> Tattoo Artist!Bucky Barnes x OFC - Summary: Luka has just finished her college degree and moved back to her hometown to live with her boyfriend. She runs into some of her old high school classmates, who support her when she really needs them. One of those people, is her high school crush, Bucky Barnes. | I read this story after it was completed and loved it, the ending is okay, but the story it's self is what holds it for me.
One-Shots:
Sweet Nothings by @secretswiftymarvelfan >> Chris Evans x Reader - Summary: When the world is out there pushing and shoving, all youâve ever wanted was sweet nothings. | I'm pretty sure I have to go make a dentist appointment with Robert Evans, that's how sweet this is, and I love it.
Jealousy's My Best Friend by @cockslutpadalecki >> Professor!Andy Barber x Student!Reader - Summary: You canât help but be a little jealous when Andy pays another student some attention. | Oh, don't act like you wouldn't be jealous if someone gave Andy extra attention. I know I would be.
Trust by @worksby-d >> Chris Evans x fem!Reader - Summary: Your second first time together. | (Read Warining, then proceed if interested.) I found this one-shot to be adorable, as well as sweet in how caring Chris was. I would definitely come back to read again on my sad days.
Housewife Duties by @lilacevans >> Ari Levinson x (non-descriptive) Female!Reader - After Ari's been gone on a long grueling work trip, you want to do whatever you can to make him feel comfortable. | I need to start my Thursday mornings, or any morning in general, honestly, reading stuff like this. It would put me in a better mood.
One-Shots:
Closer to Me by @kiki0005 >> Tommy Shelby x Reader - Summary: After you get pregnant with Tommy's child, he is adamant that you move in with him. | If I'm honest, I would let Tommy Shelby tell me what to do any day. So this one-shot of him was up my alley because he's asking and telling. Definitely worth the read.
*I'm Yours by @sunsetbeachesandwriting >> Tommy Shelby x Reader ft. John Shelby - Summary: Your body is for Tommy and Tommy alone. | I'm a fan of possessive Tommy Shelby, and I didn't know it till I read this, or I just forgot. So good.
Dada Tommy by @quinnsbower >> Tommy Shelby x Reader - Summary: Tommy is left to watch over his 6-month-old while his wife eats with his sister. What could possibly happen? | This was so adorable, funny, and just plain loving. I love Dad!Tommy, especially to baby girls. Makes my heart go pitter-patter.
The Clap by SunsetBeachesandWriting >> Tommy Shelby x Reader - Summary: Jealousy never looked so good on someone like Tommy Shelby, especially when all he wants is you back. | If a man ever did this to me, I would slap them. If Tommy Shelby ever did this to me, I would swoon.
Promotion by @sunsetbeachesandwriting >> Tommy Shelby x Reader - Summary: Y/N is Harry's daughter and works in the Garrison until Tommy decides to "fire" her. | This is both a mix of hot and sweet. I could picture season one or two of Tommy doing this with a massive smile on my face.
Love Is Sweeter Than Vengeance by @pherelesytsia >> Tommy Shelby x Reader - Summary: Burglars break into the mansion in search of the safe and stumble upon the lady of the house. | This was so suspenseful as well as hot. Just how I like my Tommy Shelby.
You're Everywhere, Love by @sunsetbeachesandwriting >> Tommy Shelby x Reader - Summary: Everyone has Tommy feeling overwhelmed. He walks out in the middle of a family meeting and goes to the one place he knows he'll find some peace. | I'm definitely not crying, and I'm definitely not going to suggest you have a box of tissues on standby when you read this.
Series:
The Boy in the Window by @notyour-valentine>> Tommy Shelby x Reader - Summary: (Y/N) thinks the boy her daughter sees in the window of the neighbouring house is nothing but a childish fantasy; after all, no one has lived there for years, but when she brings that boy to lunch, she realizes that he is in fact very real and above all- the son of none other than the infamous Tommy Shelby. | While I'm only five chapters into this story, it's quickly becoming one of my favorites that I've read. We get to see more of Charlie and more of Tommy's sensitive and protective side.
AO3:
*Tommy's Red Right Hand by HisRedRightHand >> Tommy Shelby x OFC - Summary: As if being left in charge of the two youngest Shelby siblings wasn't enough, Tommy decides to ask a redhead as ornery as he is and her six-year-old sister to take up residence at 6 Watery Lane. | At 115 chapters so far, I took my time to cherish this story because that is how much I thoroughly enjoy reading this. I highly recommend that you head the warnings that come in the tags in the summary that come with this before you dive in. The author does a fantastic job warning you about each chapter as well.
One-Shots:
A Flower Petal by @jelsasnowflakes1 >> Geralt x Fem!Reader - Summary: When being teased for still being a virgin at Kaer Morhen, geralt comes in and "comforts you" when he sees you crying. | It's fluffy and smutty, but it's the ending for me in the end.
Sleepless by @sgt-seabass >> MobBoss! PrimeAlpha!Nick Fowler x Omega!Reader- Summary: Nick wants all of you. And he will do whatever it takes to claim your soul. | Nick knows what he wants. This is sweet because he knows he will have to make an effort to change how he acts around her.
Series:
Happatance Pt. 6 by @teds-mustache-wrangler >> Henry Cavill x OFC - Summary: Henry is about to go to bed one night when he suddenly gets a text from a random number he doesn't know. What happens when you accidentally text the star actor of The Witcher? Memes apparently. Lots and lots of memes. | I was privileged to beta-read this chapter for Wren and am honored. This is a spicy one y'all so sit back and enjoy some Henry and Lizzy!
AO3:
*A Twist In Time by Comet96 >> Tommy Shelby x Lupin!OFC - Summary: Romy Lupin was a walking cliche. She has her father's metamorphmagus abilities and also seems to be a seer. During her last year at Hogwarts, Tom Riddle is brought from his teenage years at Hogwarts into the year 2047, and soon after, Romy finds herself being sent back into time. Back to 1926, when Merope Gaunt was still pregnant. It's Romy's job to protect Tom Riddle Jr. from being taken into the wrong hands. It was all going to plan until Merope knocked the time turner, and they ended up in 1916, in the middle of the first world war and with no way to get back to 1926. There she meets the Shelbys and somehow manages to find her feet in dingy Small Heath with the help of Harry Fenton, Squib, and a distant family member. | At 43 chapters and hasn't been updated since the middle of September, this story is Harry Potter, pre-Fantastic Beast meets Peaky Blinders, and I'm living for it. It has everything magical-wise you could ask for and Shelby-wise as well. I just wish it would be updated, but dreamers can dream.
Legacy by cl410 or @i-like-plan-m >> Darcy Lewis x Bucky Barnes - Summary: Darcy Lewis meets the Hales from Teen Wolf. (My poor summary.) | I love Stiles from Teen Wolf, and I love this What If twist that the author has done with Darcy. The whole series is good, and I recommend everyone give it a read if you are a fan of Darcy Lewis or MCU and Teen Wolf.
Blue by galaxiejoon >> Louis Tomlinson & OFC >> Summary: Elle is a seven-year-old girl who meets Louis and asks him to describe the color blue to her. | This is adorable and made me tear up the first time I read it in years. I still tear up every time I read it.
@peakyscillian - Looking for a masterlist to binge or just a variety of Tommy and Cillian? I would check out Laura's page and her writing.
@teds-mustache-wrangler - Are your Henry Cavill needs not getting met? Do you feel like perhaps you need to read about Henry Cavill, but haven't yet? Well go on down to Wren's blog, she has all your Henry Cavill needs met.
@gypsy-girl-08 - If you are a fan of Cillian Murphy or Peaky Blinders, then I would check this writer out. They have many Thomas Shelby series to choose from as well as Cillian Murphy

A Place Like This 1
Warnings: this short series will include dark elements including noncon, possible violence, mentions of mental illness, and other explicit content. Iâm not your mother, curate your own consumption.
This is dark!Lumberjack!Andy Barber and explicit. Your media consumption is your own responsibility. Warnings have been given. DO NOT PROCEED if these matters upset you.
Summary: Your new boarder isnât who he seems to be.
Note: So I wanted to do a lumberjack!Andy and got a bit carried away but let me tell you, somehow Andy always turns into an ultimate creep with me.
Thank you. Love you guys!
As always, if you can, please leave some feedback, like and reblog <3
It wasnât often you found a stranger in Heron Creek.Â
The small town was barely more than a single street; most residents lived further out. It was more a marketplace than anything. Townsfolk came to shop and socialise amid the limited stretch of businesses and not much else. The lumberyard fueled much of the economy and was closer than any home.
After weeks of arguing with your mother, youâd finally resigned. You needed a boarder to see you through the winter. Money was tight since your motherâs diagnosis; pills, therapy, reduced income. Your own job was just enough to see to the bills but not for the groceries or any incidentals. Even if you did some odd jobs around town, you wouldnât be able to scrape enough to get by.
Youâd never seen the man before. The message had been expected and a last hope. You agreed to meet at the townâs only cafe and were surprised and slightly disappointed.Â
He greeted you by name as you looked around. You expected a woman; the advert had requested only females but, you supposed, that beggars couldnât be choosers.
âAndy,â He introduced himself as he offered you his hand. âItâs nice to meet you.â
âYou too,â You lied as you sat.
âYou want a coffee? Iâm headed up for a refill,â He grabbed his empty mug.
âSure,â You reached for your wallet. You could tell by his accent he was from the city; if you were to guess, one far from Heron Creek. âThank you.â
âDonât worry about it. I can get it.â He waved you off as you fumbled with your purse. âIâll be back.â
He returned with two cups and slid one over to you. You added cream from the table.
âI know you advertised for women only but⌠Iâm kinda running out of options and judging by how long your adâs been in the paper, I think you might be too.â He began.
âUh huh,â You sipped from your coffee. âYouâre new around here.â
âI am.â He confirmed. âBut youâre not so you should know thereâs not a lot to choose from.â
âWhy would you move all the way up here?â
âTired of the city.â He said evenly.Â
âYou have a job?â You asked.
âAt the lumberyard.â He replied. âBeen there two months now, living down at Harry Brennanâs but heâs ready to have me out.â
âHmm, yeah, he can be a bit prickly,â You remarked. âMy mother, too. Sheâs sick. Moody. You sure you wanna trade in one for the other?â
He looked at you. He sat with his shoulders back, his head held up proudly. His gaze was discerning, as if he was measuring your every word and move.
âI can pay more than youâre asking and Iâll help out around the house.â He said. âWell, I wonât decide until I see the place, of course, but Iâm optimistic.â
You tasted the bitter coffee. You preferred your own brew. You nodded as you set down your mug.
âThey donât have many lumberyards in the city. Whatâd you do before?â
âI was a lawyer.â He said. âAnd what do you do?â
âA lawyer? Youâd give up that to live in the middle of nowhere and chop wood?â
âItâs quiet up here. Peaceful.â He tapped his fingers on the table beside his gloves. âA few more months and I should be able to afford my own place. At least a plot to start building.â
You considered him and held your palm to the warm porcelain. Your mother was wary of men. You couldnât make the decision without her.
âYou didnât tell me what you do.â He said.
âIâm a writer. Mostly pieces on the local species and whatnot. Thereâs not many jobs to be had around here but on the internetâŚâ
âSo?â He asked as he shifted in his chair.
âIâll have to talk to my mother.â You answered. âThen maybe you can come check out the room. Itâs a big enough place for three. Probably too big but thereâs a lot of work to be done in the winter.â
âRight,â He said. âAs I said, Iâll help out with anything I can.â
You squinted and gulped the coffee even though it burned your throat. You stood and gathered up your purse.
âI donât mean to run out but I have to hit Marlaâs.â You hooked the strap of your bag over your shoulder. âIâll let you know before the end of the week, but⌠well, my mom isnât an easy person to deal with. Not unless youâre related.â
âGot it,â He watched you placidly as he rose. âI look forward to hearing from you.â
đ
You heard voices from the front porch. You blinked and set down the basket of warm laundry on the kitchen table as you sighed at your motherâs mug. There was still tea in it which meant she had taken her first chance to chase her innate stubborn streak.
Youâd argued for much of the morning as she accused you of inviting a strange man into her home and you countered that youâd merely agreed to a look at the house. No decision had yet been made, though the only reason your mother entertained the notion was the desperately needed money. And that had been your only winning point of contention.
You didnât want the strange man living in your space anymore than she did but you also realised that you couldnât possibly go on as you were. You went to the door, the thicker one open as the screen door was the only shield from the bitter late autumn air. You heard the creak of your motherâs rocking chair and the deep voice of a man. You recognized it even after a single meeting.
â...hauling wood, maâam.â Was all you caught as you peered through the mesh.
âSo you work at the lumberyard? My husband worked there before he tucked tail,â Your mother ranted. âThat was almost twenty years ago.â
âJust like every other man in the county,â You opened the door. âMa, Iâd be down there too if I hadnât lucked out.â
âIâm sorry about your husband, maâam.â Andy slipped in as he stood on the bottom step.Â
âDonât call me, maâam,â Your mother rebuked. âIâm not that old just yet.â
Andy glanced at you and you touched the back of your motherâs chair and stilled it.
âItâs a nice looking house,â Andy broke the silence. âBig property.â
âAll that bastard left me,â Your mother swore and leaned on the arm of her chair. âWell, arenât you going to show the man around.â She pushed back so you were forced to let go of the chair or else sprain your wrist. âTake your shoes off, sir.â
You nodded and waved him up the steps with a wry smirk at your mother. You held open the door as he passed and your mother looked pleased with herself as she rocked again. You let the door clatter behind you as Andy bent to loosen his work boots. He stood as he kicked off his boots and you rubbed your forehead.
âIâm sorry about my mom.â You said. âSheâs⌠stubborn.â
âDonât you apologize for me, girl.â Your mom called through the screen door and you quickly closed the thicker one.
âWell, nothing too fancy,â You stepped past him into the front room. âLiving room, dining room,â You waved your hand back. âKitchen in the back, bathroom as you walk through and the laundry room just on the other side.â You lowered your arm and neared the stairs. âYour room would be up here.â
You turned and he followed you up the noisy old stairs. The carpet at the top was faded and tattered and did little to cushion the hard wooden floor as you walked along the hallway.
âMy motherâs is at the end. Mine is to the left and yours is right here,â You opened the door next to yours. âLooks out onto the yard, so not the worst.â
âMmm, okay,â He paced around the bed and went to the window. He felt the lace curtains as he gazed out through the glass.
âIâll empty out the closet. Probably why it smells like mothballs.â You explained. âPretty simple, we share the common spaces and clean up after ourselves.â You shrugged. âMy mom will leave you alone as long as you donât get in her way. She usually stays in her room if sheâs not out front.â
âThatâs fine. I wonât be here much.â He said. âJust really need a place to sleep.â
âThere is one other thing. My mother...she has some issues. She gets manic and sometimes⌠well, I can take care of her but I donât want you to be blind-sided. Sheâs on medicine but sheâs still adjusting and--â You gulped. âIt took me a lot of convincing but if you want the space, itâs yours, at least until spring.â
âI donât have a lot of choices but Iâd be happy to.â He said. âAnd donât worry so much about your mother. I was a lawyer, I saw a lot worse in the courtroom.â
âMmm,â You tucked your hands in your pocket. âWell, anytime after Sunday the room will be ready for you.â
âSunday,â He repeated. âOkay, that works for me. Should I call ahead?â
âUh, yeah, you have my number,â You replied and paused as you heard your mother hollering. You huffed and rolled your eyes.
âI really hope itâs a squirrel and not a bear again,â You swept out of the room and stomped down the stairs. You went outside as your mother was tossing a stone and shouting at it, the wind chime tinkling and swaying from the porch. âMa, itâs just a bird.â
âIt damn nearly tore the chime off,â She sneered. âYour grandmother made me that.â
âI know, I know, just sit down.â You nudged her back to her chair. âYou forgot your tea inside, do you want it?â
âMy tea?â She blinked. âOh, I forgot. Again.â
âItâs okay,â You patted her shoulder as you went back inside. Andy knelt as he pulled his boots back on.
âEverything okay?â He asked as he looked up at you.
âItâs fine,â You assured him. âSometimes her meds make her a little jumpy. And forgetful.â
âAnything I can do?â He asked as he stood.
âKeep clear of her if you can,â You advised. âIâm not going to sugar coat it. Sheâs a lot to handle and sheâs not very keen on men.â
âThe latter I guessed,â He chuckled. âIâll get out of your hair and see you next week.â
âNext week,â You confirmed as he pushed open the door. âDrive safe.â
âThanks,â He called over his shoulder as he stepped out onto the porch. âIâll be seeing you.â He said to your mother as he passed. âWhen I come back,â He stopped on the second step and you got closer to listen. âI can fix that feeder.â He pointed at the broken bird feeder under the tree. âIf you like?â
âOh,â Your mother grumbled. âWell, I think that⌠might be nice. As long as it keeps âem away from my chimes.â
âI think it will,â He smiled. âMy-- I used to have a feeder just like that.â
Your mother was quiet as she stopped rocking. Finally she cleared her throat. âYou have a nice day, sir.â
âYou too,â He nodded and continued down the steps.Â
You watched him go to his pick-up before you spun back and went to fetch your motherâs cup. You returned to the porch as he was backing out and you gave the lukewarm tea to your mother.
âFriendly,â She commented and took a sip. âThe ones from the city usually donât have such good manners.â
âMhmm,â You grumbled. âDo you need me to warm that up?â
âGo on, girl,â She brushed you away. âI can stomach cold tea.â
đ
Andy showed up on Monday. He called you the night before to let you know heâd be there and so you planned a trip into town with your mother to let him get settled. You waited until his truck pulled up, his tires crushing the pine cones and twigs as it neared. He got out and you handed him the spare key you had made. Your mother wore a parka and shivered in the car.
âWeâll be gone for a few hours,â You crossed your arms as you resisted the chill that nestled over the top of your scarf. âSo you should be able to get settled in.â
âThanks,â He turned the key over in his hand. âIâll be discreet.â
âSheâs in a good mood today. Well, until she starts complaining I left her in the car so long,â You rubbed your gloved hands together. âIâll go. Thereâs logs by the fireplace in the living room. Heating downstairs isnât so good but it makes a difference.â
âIâll figure it out,â He assured. âYou ladies have fun.â
âLadies?â You arched a brow but he was hardly bothered. You nodded and left him.
You got in the jeep as your mother played with the radio and bemoaned the downfall of modern music. You shifted out of park and backed up as you tuned out her and Patsy Cline fizzling from the local station.
You went to Gerryâs, the only proper restaurant in town. Breakfast was often better than the eveningâs affair and you showed up just in time for the lunch menu. Your mother gabbed with the waitress a little too long and you resisted apologizing on her behalf, knowing it would only sour her already brittle mood.
You ate and grabbed a pie from the display at your motherâs behest. She stopped by Geraldineâs thrift shop and bought another figurine for her collection; the porcelain wolves decorated her room and even some of the front room. You grabbed a few books you hadnât read before and checked the time. You were certain youâd wasted enough time for Andy to get figured out.
As you drove back, the pale sky made the trees seem bleak in comparison. The first snow was imminent.
âYou should make a nice dinner tonight.â Your mother said.
âOh, I should?â You asked.
âIâm pooped. I gotta lay down.â She huffed. âBut you always made a good chili. You can send that man off with a good lunch tomorrow if you make a big pot.â
âMom,â You looked at her briefly. âYou know his name.â
âI do. And thatâs it.â She crossed her arms. âHe seems nice enough but you never know. Heâs not from around here.â
âNo heâs not. But no one around here would pay what you want for that room.â You argued. âYouâre lucky heâs from the city, theyâre used to paying a fortune for shit.â
âWatch your mouth.â
âYou said it was alright, ma. You agreed to it. Itâs too late to send him off now.â You muttered.
âI like him,â She sneered. âI donât like the way you look at him.â
âWhat?â You scoffed. âYouâre ridiculous.â
âIf I was younger, I wouldnât turn my nose up at him. Heâs handsome but I do wonder how he ended up here. You said he was a lawyer.â
âAll sorts end up here, ma,â You countered. âKenneth used to be an ad exec and now look at him; he sells sod and salt.â
âStill,â She rubbed her chin. âYouâre young. When I was your age, well, if I had been alone all the time like you are, Iâd be rearing to go.â
âMa,â You were almost laughing. âYouâre crazy.â
âThatâs what the pills are for,â She retorted. âBut Iâm not blind.â
âOkay,â You said dryly as you rolled your eyes. âI think maybe I should be keeping my eye on you.â
âHa, maybe I should give you a few pills,â She chuckled. âIâm not that mad.â
âAlright,â You gripped the steering wheel. âIâll make chili but donât go on about this in front of him. Itâs gonna be weird enough.â
âSure,â She harrumphed. âIâll be good.â
đ
As you took the lid off the deep pot, a billow of steam went up and the front door opened and closed. Your mother sat at the table after her nap and sipped on a hot tea. You listened to the floor groan as Andy stopped by the door and proceeded with lighter footfalls into the kitchen.
âI fixed the bird feeder,â He clapped his hands together. âYour chimes should be safe.â
âOh, thank you,â Your mother beamed. âSo sweet of you, Andy.â
âNot at all,â He said. âSimple work. Didnât realise how much easier life is when you donât have to think so much.â
He neared the table and grabbed the back of an empty chair. âYou mind if I sit?â
âGo on,â Your mother was unusually chipper. âSo howâd you fair? Got all your stuff unpacked?â
âYep,â He answered, âMmm, whatever youâre cooking smells good.â
âChili,â You answered as you replaced the lid. âTwenty more minutes at most.â
âChili. I remember--â He stopped and cleared his throat. You turned and watched him as he smoothed the front of his shirt, his fingers grabbing at the tie that wasnât there. âI knew someone who used to make chili but it wasnât chili chili. White beans and turkey⌠good but, I donât think Iâve had real chili in forever.â
âYou go down to Gerryâs on a Thursday and youâll get some,â Your mother intoned.
âIâll keep that in mind,â Andy gave a small smile. âHow was your day in town?â
You didnât answer and looked to your mom. She frowned at you but quickly wiped it away.
âIt was nice. You know, me and my daughter live together but we really donât spend too much time together.â
âThatâs great,â He said but barely seemed to see your mother as he watched you lean against the stove. âWell, hopefully I can help out some more and you can find more time for each other.â
âUh huh,â You muttered. âHopefully.â
đ
That night, your mother went to bed and you retired soon after her. Andy had been quick to hide after dinner and you were thankful for that. You told him youâd set aside a container for his lunch and he was almost sheepish at the gesture.
You climbed up the stairs and slipped inside your room. The night was quiet and no moon floated above to shine in the windows. It was almost eerie. You changed into your pajamas and climbed into bed with your laptop. You turned off the lamp, content to type in the dark and eke out a few more paragraphs for your latest commission.
As the night wore on, only the tapping of keys filled your ears and you found yourself slumping lower against the headboard. You flipped onto your stomach and hugged the pillow as you tried to keep going, yawns blurring your vision as your body resisted your determination.Â
You didnât recall falling asleep but it was a haze of visions. Your head swirled with your motherâs voice and Andyâs deep blue eyes. A blizzard turned the landscapes white and a wolfâs howl made you shiver.Â
You woke, still on your stomach, an arm beneath your pillow, and your laptop dead. You groaned as you rolled over. The grey light of dawn filled your room and the frigid air raised bumps on your skin as your blanket was twisted around you.Â
A floorboard creaked along the hallway and you sat up. You blinked at the shadow that flitted away through the crack between your bedroom door and the frame. You had closed your door; you were sure of it. Entirely certain as your door always stuck terribly and was quite a pain in the ass.
You drew a blanket around your shoulders as you stood and went to the door. You blinked and peeked out into the hall. There was nothing, no one. You sighed as your eyes froze on the closed bathroom door. You heard the sudden whine of the shower and the rattling of the pipes. Andy must have woken up to get ready for work.
You always wondered how the lumberjacks could handle the early mornings, especially in the winter. You turned back and closed your door. Your feet were cold on the floorboards and the rug was just as unwelcoming as you crossed to the window. Snowflakes blurred the horizon and shrouded the dawn.
Winter had come and you sensed a storm brewing.

I'm sorry I'm so late in finishing this! It's so good that Andy & Ari got their anger out & talked about what was bothering them for so many years. It was an awesome chapter & I can't wait for more!
Wooden Façade (2/4)
feat. lumberjack!Ari Levinson and Andy Barber
Premise: Andy Barber is an acting district attorney in Boston, but was raised in the western Massachusetts town of Barber with his parents who run a lumber business, and his younger brother, Ari. Estranged from his family, he decides to help by hiring you as a personal nurse and caretaker of his aging mother. However, Ari, stubborn and prideful, doesnât take your employment kindly.
Warnings: angst; mention/discussion of neurodegenerative diseases (specifically Parkinsonâs disease; including falls, medications, hallucinations, and memory loss); a car accident that resulted in paralysis; a non-abusive slap (done while under the impression that there was a need for self-defense); familial arguments (between brothers); swearing; Ari is a hot, stubborn, sexy lumberjack (yes, heâs a warning)
A/N: Here we go! Super requested; thank you all for reading this so far. And thanks @eightcevanscentral âđ˝
Masterlist
Wooden Façade Masterlist
You sat across from Marcella with Ari on your right. Andy sat across from him and next to his mother.
This mealtime gave you more insight into Marcellaâs current state of cognition. While she was aware of her older son being here and thrilled to have him next to her, she seemed to ignore the palpable tension between the two men. Most of her attention was on him unless she needed assistance with something from youâa refill on her water, another serving of vegetables, whatever she needed.
Their plates are empty, as opposed to yours and Ariâs, still containing bits of food here and there. You could easily see his irritation bleed into his movements, especially as he pierced two pieces of broccoli with his fork and bit them off aggressively. His jaw set between bites as he watched his mother gush over his brother.
You didnât dare to say anything, though. Staying quiet and eating slowly as if to make yourself invisible, you simply observed. Whatever issues were arising with Andyâs arrival seemed strictly familial and you werenât hired to get involved that way. You were hired to take care of Marcella.
âItâs so nice that youâre home, Andy,â she sighs, a clingy hand resting on his forearm. âItâs been so hard here without you and Ari always working.â
âWell, I got really lucky that work wasnât so heavy this weekend, so I just packed and took off the minute I was free.â
âOh,â she gushes, seemingly overwhelmed with her emotions. âAnd this nurse that youâve hired for me,â she begins, gesturing to you.
You sit up when youâre mentioned, smiling when they both cut you a look.
âI know, I know, itâs only been a dayââ
âNot even a day,â Ari mutters.
â--but sheâs so spectacular. So kind and attentive!â
âYouâve never said half as much about me.â
Swallowing, you steal a glance at him, registering the dejected look on his face as he gathers another morsel onto his fork to eat.
âAnd now Ari and I have a third person to play Uno with on Sundays! We miss having you here to play,â she finishes sadly.
âIâm glad sheâs a good fit, Ma,â Andy smiles, placing his hand over hers, pointedly ignoring her remark about missing him on Sundays. Then, he looks at you, âHow are you settling in?â
âItâs gone well, itâs nice and cozy here. They gave me your old bedroom, but if youâre staying the nightââ
âDonât even think about it,â he waves you off. âIâll take the couch.â
âOh!â Marcella exclaims, drawing all eyes to her, âYou boys could share a bed! You used to do that all the time!â She looks at you, âOh, it was the cutest thing, I wish I had photos of it!â
You smile politely and acknowledge her with a half-hearted coo, but itâs hard to act when the two men clearly feel uncomfortable at the prospect.
âUh, yeah, Ma,â Andy shrugs. âWe could do that.â
âSo nice to have my boys back under the same roof again,â she sighs, pinching Andyâs cheek.
Ari sighs, clearly annoyed as he rolls his eyes. When you see the look on Andyâs face, your gut tells you to remove Marcella and yourself from the situation.
âAre you ready to go to bed?â you ask her just as Andy opens his mouth.
âOh, yes,â she replies happily, âNothing sounds better.â
She gives Andy a hug and a big kiss on the cheek when you stand and come around the table to help her up. Ari stands too, looking down at his mother as he bids her goodnight.
âGoodnight, son,â she says, snaking her arms around his waist and giving him a brief hug.
As you usher her through the living room to the base of the stairs, you briefly look back at the two men as they seem to avoid each otherâs gazes. Silently, you hope their discussion doesnât escalate into something big.
-â
Ari clears away plates and dumps them into the sink to wash. They clatter against each other and the silverware, creating a sharp sound that startles his brother.
âAre you trying to break them?â Andy quips as he brings over everyoneâs empty water glasses.
Ariâs response is a head shake. He lifts the handle to open the faucet and grabs the sponge to begin washing the dishes.
Behind him, he can hear the sound of his brother popping his lips; itâs a habit heâs had for as long as Ari can remember. Whenever Andy felt frustrated, that telltale pop was a clear sign of it.
âYou got somethinâ to say?â Ari asks, shutting off the water and scrubbing the plate down with a sudsy sponge.
âI think you might have something to say, actually, Ari.â
Running the water again, Ari rinses the bubbles off and places it in the drying rack. âWhat on Earth would give you that impression?â
âThe âyou gotta be shitting meâ when I walked in?â Andy plies to him in an accusatory tone. âThe entire fucking dinner? That ring any bells?â
âOh fuck off, Andy!â Ari shouts. âWhere the hell do you get off hiring her to take care of our mother when you haven't been home since Maâs last birthday? You didn't even come home for Christmas!â
âIâm trying to help our mother who has a serious medical condition with declining brain function, did you not read the doctorâs reports?! Her memoryââ
âYeah, I read them,â Ari interjects. âI was handed them because guess what? I was the one who picked Ma off the floor when she fell! Where the hell were you?!â He doesnât even give him a chance to answer, âYou were off being some big-headed lawyer in Boston. Our motherâs reports were just another email to you that you had to read over and you did the laziest fucking thing you could think of by hiring a nurseââ
Andy begins to speak over him, âI donât know where you get the audacity to say shit like that to me. Iâm trying to make sure she takes her medicationââ
â--when the right thing to do is to come home and take care of your family!â
â--and doesnât stay on the floor when she falls in the middle of the day!â
âFuck you!â Ari slams his hand on the counter, setting his jaw in fury. âIf you were here, maybe I wouldâve gotten to her sooner. You left us!â
âDo you know why?!â
âDad told me everything. You were a coward that couldnât stand to be associated with him after the accident with Mrs. Harcourt!â
Andy shakes his head, a pained smile on his face as he crosses his arms. âSee, thatâs not it,â he counters. âThatâs not even close to it.â
âWhy the hell would I believe anything you tell me?â
Ari is wary of the way he approaches this situation. He was fifteen when Andy left, just days before his sixteenth birthday.
It wasnât the only thing that happened to dampen the celebration of a milestone age.
Their father was involved in a front-page accident. When delivering an order, the rope securing the lumber to the truck bed came loose. The load fell into the street, causing the car behind the truck to flip over. The driver survived but lost her ability to walk.
Her family pressed charges against him; it was settled quickly and quietly. All Ari knew was that his dad started working a lot more after that, spending all waking hours at the lumber yard and office. It didn't matter what was happening. He took no holidays.
He didn't celebrate birthdays, either.
âDad paid off the Harcourts. Every penny they asked for upfront,â Andy explains with a sigh. âIt put the business in a really bad position. As Iâm sure you know.â
Ari nods, biting the inside of his cheek. When his father died, the burden to pay off the debt became his own. He just finished settling it less than six months ago. It was a miracle.
Then, his mother fell.
âI told dad we shouldâve gotten a lawyer,â Andy continues, drawing Ari out of his train of thought of the events from the past half year. âIf we had some help, then maybe after some negotiating, the Harcourts wouldâve settled for a lower amount, or a payment plan, justâŚanything that wouldâve made it easier on us.
âAnd you know dad, he was stubborn as hell,â Andy cuts the seriousness with a chuckle, âItâs where we get it from. When I mentioned a lawyer, he said that wouldâve been an unnecessary cost. Then I said Iâd study andâŚthatâs where things went south.â
âWhat do you mean?â
Sighing through his nose, Andy answers, âHe told me I needed to stay and take over the business. I told him what good is running a business if I wonât know how to navigate situations like that. He started accusing me of thinking I was better than him, which I know Iâm not.
âHe told me I could get out if I was going to continue with that âlawyer nonsense,ââ he shrugs, âSo I left.â
Ari does his best to keep up with all the information Andy is telling him, but itâs hard to when everything he thought he understood about his family is turned on its head.
âPart of me wanted to come back,â Andy admits. âMa wanted me to come back. But I have a life in Boston. Like it or not, thatâs where my life is now,â he repeats himself to drive the point home to his brother. âAnd honestly, itâs fucking shitty to be back in a house that my father kicked me out of.â
Despite their separation, something in Ari tells him he knows what his brotherâs thinking: he will leave as soon as he can in the morning.
âIt was hard to be at dadâs funeral becauseâŚhe died when I was fighting with him. I never got to fix it.â
Andy presses his thumb and forefinger into his eyes.
âI hired her because I had been calling the bank to check on the payments every once in a while. I wanted to make sure mom was okay, especially after she fell and I got the report about her having medication. Look,â he shrugs, gesturing around himself vaguely. âI know you canât run that business and build a cabin and take care of mom. Youâre not trained in nursing and memory care.â
Andy points upstairs, referring to where you are right now with their mother, âShe graduated at the top of her class from Boston College. She knows what sheâs doing and she mentioned how important it is for you to be involved, but not the only one caring for her.â
Setting his jaw, Ari soaks in everything heâs heard tonight, sighing when he understands everything his brother had to do on his own after leaving.
âIâmâŚI,â Ari struggles to finish his sentence.
Andy was right. The men in their family are historically stubborn and prideful.
âIââ
âI know,â Andy excuses him, sparing him the vulnerability of having to apologize.
âAreâŚare you good?â Ari asks, âDo you-do you need anything?â
âIâm good,â he promises.
âGood.â
They stand there silently, still uncomfortable but better than they were during dinner.
âBy the way,â Andy begins, âWeâre not sharing a bed like mom said, right?â
âOh, absolutely not,â Ari shakes his head. âYouâre taking the couch.â
Another quiet moment, then he speaks again, âI understand for whatever reasons you canât just leave Boston. AndâŚknowing what I know now, I wouldnât ask you to, butâŚâ
He canât vocalize it; he canât find the words.
How do you tell your brother youâve needed him for the past sixteen years. Not out of true necessity, but out of longing for a relationship that had seemed to die so abruptly?
âIâve missed you too, Ari,â Andy says quietly, placing his hand on his shoulder. âIâm sorry I had to leave.â
âMe too.â The words barely escape his mouth, but Ari composes himself. âI just want my brother back.â
Andy squeezes once and sighs, knowing better than to make a promise he doesnât know he can keep. Heâs never addressed the way his banishment has affected him. Itâs impossible for him to know if things could ever be the way they were before.
âWe can try to get there,â he promises.
â
With east-facing windows, you wake up with sunlight shining through the curtains. It stings your eyes and you turn away, letting yourself recover, then you check your phone.
Itâs just before seven and you have a few notifications that you sort through and reply to before throwing the covers off your upper half.
The January morning chill rushes to you, making your skin pimple as a small shiver runs down your spine. You get up and make your way to your dresser to pull out a thick knitted sweater.
You step out of your bedroom and into the hallway, hearing the bathroom door open as you shut the door behind you. When you turn, your eyes go wide at the sight of Ari exiting with nothing but a white towel wrapped around his waist, steam hanging in the air around him.
His shoulders are broad, nearly filling up the entire space of the hallway. Despite a lack of muscle tone, you can tell his body holds a certain strength, arms defined and wide pectorals making him look even larger. His chest is sprinkled with a generous amount of hair, only adding to the ruggedness he seems to have.
Everything from your shoulders up feels hot to the point where you feel like steam is coming out of your ears.
You snap out of it when he nods at you and bids you good morning.
âMorning,â you croak, then repeat it after you swallow and gather yourself, your voice coming out firmly the second time.
You make a conscious effort to keep your eyes glued to his to avoid ogling again, but itâs fruitless when he turns his back to you and heads back to his room, providing you with an unimpeded view of his back.
It feels like you could trace every line and ridge his muscles make, especially the ones at the center that frame his spine.
He shuts his bedroom door and you fully break out of your haze, shuffling to the bathroom to splash water in your face to help yourself wake up and remember yourself.
Youâre here to be Marcellaâs nurse, you lecture your reflection in the mirror, Not thirst after her hot, crabby son.
You grab the towel and dab your face dry before making your way to the kitchen. Peeking into the living room, you find Andy sitting on the couch scowling at his phone screen.
âYou look like you donât agree with mornings,â you tease as you retrieve a drinking glass from one of the cupboards overhead and turn to the fridge, placing it beneath the water dispenser.
âI agree with mornings that arenât snowy,â you hear him reply as you watch the glass slowly fill up. âDid you sleep well?â
You nod, briefly looking at him over your shoulder before your eyes return to your task at hand so that the water doesnât spill over, âI did. Your bedâs really comfortable.â Cringing inwardly at your comment, you shut off the water and try to change the subject, turning to face him. âDo you think Marcella is awake?â
âProbably,â he turns to glance up the stairs. âWe can go see.â
He gets up from the couch and waits at the bottom of the stairs, gesturing for you to go first.
âHow was it last night, putting her to bed?â he asks.
When you hear his tone, you understand that heâs also prying for additional information. He doesnât just want to know whether or not his mother went to bed smoothly; he wants to know if you heard anything of his and Ariâs discussion last night and what you think of his motherâs current condition.
You decide to only comment on the latter, âShe was very gracious. She seems very aware of her circumstances and made it a point to show me around her room like which clothes go where and her medications. She told me sheâs been having trouble remembering to take them, so thatâs one of my priorities with being her nurse. I put them on her nightstand and, hopefully, thatâll help her.â
âThank you,â Andy sighs.
Reaching the top of the steps, you stand aside and tell him it may be better that he go in first.
He nods, opening the door and making sure it stays open for you to enter behind him.
âAndy!â
âMorninâ Mama.â
âOh youâll have to help me up, I canât do as much as I used to since I fell.â
He looks unsure, so you set the glass on her nightstand and she greets you with the same glee as she did her son.
âAre you warm, dear?â
âOh yes,â you smile. âEspecially during the night. All those blankets were so comforting to have. Um,â you turn back to Andy, âWhy donât you stand there and Iâll coach you on how to help her up.â
You give instructions slowly, providing advice on where to place his hands and how to hold her weight. After some clumsy trials and effort, with Marcella smiling the entire time and encouraging her eldest, Andy eventually got her from laying on her back to sitting up. He sits at the edge of the mattress and catches his breath.
âWhatâs going on?â
Turning back, you find Ari standing in the doorway, eyes taking in every individual in the room.
âAndy just helped me up!â Marcella answers, cutting through the tension with her cheerful lilt.
You perk up, spotting the orange bottles on her nightstand next to the glass of water. âDonât forget to take your medication,â you remind her gently.
âDonât talk to her that way,â Ari snaps, drawing everyoneâs attention to him. âSheâs not a damn child.â
âAri!â Marcella chastises him, âDonât you swear in my house! Sheâs doing her job, let her.â
You hold his gaze as you breathe in slowly and exhale through your nose. Deciding not to address the situation, you swallow and turn your eyes back to the medications. You pick them up and scan your eyes over the text to find the instructions on how to take them as the air hangs tensely in the room again.
Still ignoring Ariâs reprimand, you place one bottle down and open the other, shaking out one tablet. âHere, take this one,â you instruct. âAnd youâll take the other oneââ
âAfter breakfast,â Ari finishes for you. âShe knows.â
You donât miss the intention of his statement; heâs trying to remind you that he thinks youâre not needed. Your chest squeezes in embarrassment, but Marcella doesnât let you feel that way for long. âCan you hand me my water, dear?â
As you reach for the glass and hand it to her, you hear Ari address his brother. âI thought you were leaving?â
âYou really that eager to see me go?â Andy rebuttals. Then he sighs again, âI canât. The snow,â he points to the window behind him with his thumb.
You look that way too; thereâs a light flurry falling, white particles swirling in the breeze.
âOnce it clears, Iâll go.â
More tension in the air and it suffocates you.
âShall I make breakfast?â you wonder, looking at your patient. Marcella nods eagerly with a smile, telling you she wants pancakes.
âOf course,â you return her smile.
Looking at the door, Ari blocks the whole opening, only stepping aside slightly to allow you to squeeze by.
â
You serve up enough breakfast for everyone, throwing in a variety of foods including pancakes, bacon, fruits, and potatoes.
Marcella sighs happily as she chews on a sugared apple that you cooked on the stove. âAri never makes me fruit like this!â
âWell, I wanna make sure you eat healthy too,â you state. âThatâs also really important for patients like you.â
She coos at you, placing a hand on her chest.
Ari looks gruff as usual, but Andy throws you a small smile and mouths thank you.
You nod and excuse yourself from the table to get Marcellaâs second medication from her bedroom. As you return to the table, you make a mental note to keep this bottle down here since it needs to be taken with food.
âOkay, second one of the day,â you say, pouring one pill out onto the cap.
âYou can give it to Ari,â she says, âHe cuts this one in half for me.â
âHe does?â you ask, trying to hide your shock as you look at him.
âThat a problem?â He doesnât even look at you as he picks up more potatoes with his fork.
You set your jaw as you take in his arrogant tone. âYes because you canât cut these in half, it needs to be taken whole or she wonât be getting the proper dosage.â
âPeople cut their medications in half all the time,â he dismisses you. âWhatâs so different about this one?â
You sigh sharply, asking if you can talk to him privately. Without waiting for an answer, you leave the dining area and go into the hallway.
His steps are heavy as he follows and he looms over you when he stands in front of you.
You tell him the medicationâs name and ask, âDo you know what itâs for?â
âItâs for Parkinsonâs,â he answers bluntly.
You go on a long tangent about the importance and purpose of the medication, explaining what you know about brain function and how Parkinsonâs impacts it.
âWhatâs your point?â he cuts you off in the middle of your monologue.
You sigh to summon your patience, closing your eyes and going over it again, this time using the most basic vocabulary you can in order to help him understand.
When you finish, you canât discern his thoughts from his stoic facial expression.
âLook, if you could just stop and lay down your pride for five minutes and understand that Iâm here to help your mother, I would really appreciate that. Then maybe you can understand why itâs important for you to listen to others because believe it or not, youâre not the only one in the world who cares about Marcella.â
âYou were hired to take care of her. You donât actuallyââ
âDonât assume so much about me,â you cut him off. âYes, I was hired but that means I need to do my job. That includes telling you stuff like this to make sure she gets the treatment that she needs.â
Ari doesnât reply, he only clenches his jaw.
âDonât cut pills without consulting me or a pharmacist in the future,â you declare firmly.
You push past him, making him stand with his back to the wall and watch you leave in surprise.
Pressing his hand into his face, he exhales quickly and closes his eyes tightly.
Idiot, he reprimands himself. Idiot, idiot, idiot.
He remembers the first day she was handed the prescription. She was scared.
His mom, his mother; but he calls her "mama". He could play back nearly every moment he said it, memories flashing in his mind all the way back to the very first one.
Times when he laughed so hard he could barely say it. When he needed help and she knelt down to look at him and promised it'd be okay. When he came home late from the lumber yard and found her there next to the dining table.
To Ari, sheâs strong, unyielding, fierce.
All that and more is true, he thinks, with the addition of one more.
Sick.
Sick beyond repair.
Taking medicines not to cure, but to delay, as he understood it.
He was scared about the medication, too. It suddenly became real. She fell because of issues with her muscles and so many things in her brain that the doctor tried to explain but Ari couldnât keep up with. It was so hard to process it all. When the doctor asked if he had any questions, Ari shook his head.
How could he ask anything when he didnât know what he doesnât know?
It was the same thing at the pharmacy when he picked them up, fluorescent lights hurting his stinging eyes as he held back tears.
They sat at the dining table that night for fifteen minutes, the first of those levo-whatever tablets sitting on a napkin, waiting to be taken.
Ari stared at it, not knowing what it would do but praying for it to help.
His mother stared at it knowing she needed to take it but still afraid to.
He cut it in half to appease her, to give her a break so that maybe it would be less scary.
It was.
He did it every time she took it, which wasnât every day, but all the nights and mornings when either one of them remembered the medications were there.
Scrubbing his hand down his face, he gathers himself, willing the memory away and remembering he has to be at the lumber yard in fifteen minutes.
He returns to the dining table, keeping his expression blank as he picks up his fork.
âWere you able to take the whole thing, Ma?â he asks, looking at her and avoiding your gaze.
âYes,â she nods. âShe rubbed my back through the whole thing.â
Ari nods once and he finishes the last of his breakfast. He doesnât look at you when he gets up and says heâs heading out; he barely looks at his brother as he says goodbye to him.
He hugs his mom tightly.
â---
Three Weeks Later
Andy checked in more often than previously, much to Marcellaâs joy. His calls didnât come on at much of a consistent pattern, but she didnât care. It just mattered that he called.
Ari slowly began to relinquish more of his caregiving duties to you, though he still hovered when he could.
You didnât blame him; if either of your parents had the same fate, youâd become a helicopter yourself.
In some ways, it was good. It came in handy today.
Your hands shake as you sit by the window seat, watching more snow fall and leaning on the chilly glass pane to ground yourself.
âWho the hell are you?â Marcella had shouted when you returned from the bathroom.
Understanding what was happening, you slowly raised your hands to show her you meant no harm.
âMarcella, you know me,â you told her, keeping your voice even. âRemember? Your son, Andyââ
âAndy isnât here!â
âHe hired me, I came here three weeks ago. That was the last time you saw him.â
âLiar!â
âIâm not lying,â you said, cautiously stepping forward. âWe can call him, heâll tell youââ
She swung her hand back and it suddenly collided with your face, making you stumble back. You pressed your hand to your cheek, feeling your skin heat up underneath your fingers.
Then, the front door slammed as Ari entered the house.
âWhatâs going on?â
Marcella gasped. âAlbert,â she sighed in relief, âAlbie, help me!â
âMama, whatââ
âAri, just come here and helpââ
âDonât you dare talk to him!â she shouted, coming toward you for another hit but Ari stepped between the two of you, barricading her from advancing any further.
You used that to make your escape, quickly moving down the hall to your room and shutting the door behind you.
You had heard Ari bringing his mother upstairs minutes earlier, feeling relieved that maybe he had calmed her down enough to get her settled.
â
Ari heard you sneak down the hallway behind him.
âAlbie, Iâm so scared,â his mother gasps a sob, bringing her hands to cover my mouth. âWho was that woman?â
âSheâs here to help you, Mama,â Ari reminds her gently. âRememberâ?â
âI donât understand,â she cries, stepping forward and hiding her face in his chest. âIâm so confused, Albie, whatâs happening?â
Unable to answer that question, Ari slowly brings his arms around her, rubbing his palms up and down her back in an attempt to soothe her.
He stands there and lets her sob, shake and shudder against him and he breathes in deeply, pushing away his own tears and summoning all his strength to prevent his knees from buckling.
Thereâs a certain indescribable grief that he feels. That strange feeling that a person you knew so well isnât the same anymore.
He felt something similar the moment his father told him that Andy had left.
Except this isnât accompanied by any spite or betrayal. It was the worst kind of grief.
The one that comes unaccompanied. That consumes him and leaves him with no direction, no way home because what kind of home is this cabin if his mama isnât there?
âI think you need to rest, Mama,â he suggests quietly. âMaybe a nap will help you feel better.â
âOh, yes,â she agrees with a snuffle, âSuch a great idea, Albie.â
His chest squeezes with a strange feeling of being called by his fatherâs name. Choosing not to dwell on it, though, he asks his mother to let go to allow him to shed his heavy coat that he wore to protect him from the cold while he was outside.
He ushers her upstairs and under the covers, tucking her in tightly and gently reassuring her along the way.
âAlbie, will you stay here with me?â
âIâll stay here till you sleep, Mama.â
She looks relieved and comforted, settling in and maneuvering her hand out from under the covers and slotting it into Ariâs.
Sheâs asleep in a few minutes and Ari squeezes her hand, quickly wiping away a tear that just escapes the corner of his eye. Closing his eyes and swallowing, he gathers himself before setting her hand on the mattress gently and quietly exiting the room.
â
Closing your eyes, you felt your stomach grumble; with your emotions subsiding, you could finally think about food.
Your door clicks quietly as you open it, poking your head out and hoping your ears can pick up whatâs happening upstairs. Youâre met with silence, so you decide to step out cautiously, keeping your movements slow to avoid any loud noises.
First you go into the bathroom to give yourself a once over in the mirror, spotting a clotted cut on your cheek. Youâre nearly shocked; you hadnât even realized you were bleeding.
Squatting down, you open the cabinet under the sink to look for any first aid equipment.
âHey,â a voice above you startles you, making you jump while you were rifling through the various objects.
âSorry,â Ari apologizes. âWhat are you looking for?â
âFirst aid kit,â you answer, placing an unopened tube of toothpaste back where it belongs.
âWhy do you need that?â
You look up at him, turning your head enough to clearly show him the cut on your cheek.
His face shows clear surprise, forehead wrinkling as his eyebrows shoot up and his blue eyes widen.
âDid Ma do that?â
âYeah, I think it was her ring,â you shrug, standing up.
He wordlessly walks back up the hallway and you shut the door before following him into the kitchen.
Your eyes wander over his tall frame as he opens a standalone cabinet, gulping as you gawk at his shoulders again andâ
âHere,â he says, pulling out a white metal box with a red Swiss cross on it. He sets it on the table before washing his hands in the sink as you sit at the chair closest to you, open the latch and begin to file through the supplies.
As a nurse, you were impressed with how well-stocked the kit was.
âHere, I got ya,â Ari sits across from you, turning the kit to face him and pulling out a jar of antibiotic ointment. He opens the jar then takes out a Q-tip wrapped in plastic. Tearing the packaging open, he dips it into the jar and reaches over to apply the ointment over your cut.
When your eyes close from the initial sting of the medication, you donât have time to be in awe of the fact that his arm can stretch across the table without him needing to lean forward.
âSorry,â he mutters.
âDonât worry about it,â you dismiss him, wrinkling your nose and watching him put the Q-tip back into the wrapping and close the jar. He puts it back in the kit and takes out a box of steri-strips.
As he applies two of them over your cut, he muses to you, âYou gotta admit, sheâs got a mean backhand.â
âOh, believe me,â you smile, âthere was no doubt in my mind about that.â When he pulls his hand away, you touch the ends of the strips to make sure they adhere well to your skin. âShe must really be a force to be reckoned with when sheâs mad.â
His reaction surprises you; itâs the first time heâs ever smiled in front of you. âShit, she was terrifying. The amount of times my ass was sore from her spankingsâŚâ
He stops himself at your horrified face, but his smile escalates to a laugh that bewilders you further.
âIt wasnât so bad; I definitely deserved it. I wasnât the easiest kid.â
âYou arenât the easiest man, either,â you remark.
He looks reluctant to agree, but nods regardless. âYeah, Iâve been a bit of aâŚuhâŚâ
âA lumberjack-ass?â you finish for him, wrinkling your nose again.
It feels strange to share a laugh with him, but you canât ignore the fluttery feeling in your stomach from seeing him smile.
After a few seconds, his face turns thoughtful.
âI dunno if you caught it,â he begins, eyes looking downward before they look at you. âBut she called me by my dadâs nameâŚwhy?â
You pause, trying to find your words and select them carefully. From the look on his face, you can tell heâs overwhelmed, so you decide to give a more simplistic explanation: âSometimes with Parkinsonâs, because itâs a disease that affects your brain, it changes your perception of things.
âShe forgot who I am and sought out ways to defend herself which she clearly did,â you gesture to your cheek. âBut, as humans, we also seek out security. If your father was someone who made her feel secure, Iâm willing to bet that association has transferred to you. She just got the names mixed up.â
âSo itâs not just âcause she misses dad?â
âThat might be part of it, too. But I think itâs more about how you make her feel.â
He nods like he understands, but you can see in his face that heâs processing more than just the information youâve laid out for him.
Then, you wonder if heâs ever had time to process anything about his motherâs condition.
âHas anything like this ever happened before, Ari?â
He presses his lips together and runs a hand through his hair. Mid-motion, his head rotates slightly to look in the direction of the window, casting sunlight against the glaze of tears coating his eyes. He sniffs once, then lays his hands on the table.
You donât know what exactly his answer is, but you know either way, it makes him worry more.
Yes would mean each occurrence would only add more weight to the emotional load he already bears.
No would mean her condition may be progressing faster than he could keep up; to him, it might mean heâs failing as a son.
Regardless, you know he needs help.
Youâre unsure how heâll receive it, but you slowly slide your hands over to his, timidly wrapping your fingers around his and squeezing reassuringly.
His eyes drift up to meet yours, then back down to your joined hands.
He doesnât pull away.
