Chapter 169

"Home sweet home, Kitty", sighed Dave, as they approached the house.

Catriona nodded. The handsome Spanish style house loomed before them. She felt a feeling of warmth suffuse her, as though it were her home as well.

"The cleaning lady should be there today. The house is too big for me to clean", he said apologetically.

"I know, do you do housework, Dave?", she asked curiously.

"Some, I can make a bed and wash dishes, Mom taught me, I'm not a total slob, Kitty", he chuckled.

Dave parked the car and led them inside. A middle-aged woman in a simple black dress was mopping the floor, the harsh scent of soap and lye hanging in the air.

"Hola, Senor Mustaine. Que tal usted? Y que son la mujer peliroja?", she asked, wiping her hands on her apron.

"Hola, Senora Garcia. Yo estoy bien, gracias. Ella son mi novia, Catriona Burton", said Dave in surprisingly fluent Spanish.

"Hola, Senora Garcia", said Catriona.

"Puede hablar Espanol, Senorita Burton?", she asked.

"Si, senora. Mi Espanol no son perfecto, pero son bueno", she chuckled.

"A si, el Espanol de usted son bueno. Necessita algo, digo a mi", she said, going back to mopping.

"Wow, I didn't know you could speak Spanish, Dave", she said.

"Gracias, Senorita Kitty. If you can speak French, Spanish is a cinch. I taught myself, it's good to know if you live around here", he replied.

"I know, it comes in handy in the Bay Area too. Aunt Fran is from Argentina, Cali, Marcella and Castor all speak Spanish really good. You should see the looks on people's faces when they speak Spanish", she giggled.

"I can imagine. Justis, all he wants to do is play guitar, I swear he's better than me. And Electra can play the piano, she sings really good. And she's a little ham, she loves act, she goes to a day camp every year and they put on plays and stuff, she's really good", he said.

Catriona was touched by the quiet pride in his voice. Wow, he really loves his kids. I hope they don't resent me, she thought.

"I hope I wasn't bragging, Kitty. But they're great kids, I can't wait for you to meet them", he said wistfully.

"I'm just a bit nervous, Dave. I've heard of kids resenting their parents' partners", she said.

"Kitty, don't worry. They are going to love you, Justis has been after me to find a girlfriend, he says I'm getting too old to get chicks. And Electra needs a mother figure other than Pam", he said.

Catriona smiled and gave him a hug. I do hope they're good kids, they sound like it. She smiled at the idea of being the kids' stepmother. I wonder what a child of ours would look like?

"Kitty, what are you thinking?", he asked, seeing the soft look in her eyes.

Catriona blushed prettily. "I was just wondering what a child of ours would look like", she whispered.

Dave's eyes widened in surprise at her words. The idea of a child made him feel warm inside. He closed his eyes and imagined a healthy, beautiful baby with her auburn hair and their parents' hazel eyes. I would love to have a child with Kitty, but what about our bands? It wouldn't be fair to her to give her up her career, but maybe we can make something work, he thought.

He smiled, his hazel eyes gleaming with amusement. "Well, I know it's going to have red hair and hazel eyes, we both do. I just hope their hair isn't as red as mine", he joked.

She laughed throatily, running her fingers through his hair. "Don't say that, you have gorgeous hair, if a girl had your hair, she'd be beautiful", she said.

Dave smiled and kissed her. "Thank you, Kitty. Let's do some shopping for the kids", he said.

Can't wait for Kitty to meet the kids. Kitty needs to take Electra on a shopping spree :)

And much kudos, ownage, and respect for writing the spanish bits!!! You go girl!!

I really wish that I knew Spanish better. At the hotel where I used to work at one of the maids became my friend...sort of. She only speaks and understand Spanish and I only speak English and very very very poor embarassing French. Anyway, the only things that I could ever say to her were hola and hello. I wish that we could have said more to each other. We send each other Christmas cards though. :)


LOVE this story!!! :heart:

Great chapter!! All I remember from my four years of Spanish was "Peudo Ir Al Bano?" (or something) because it's what we had to say to get out of the classroom to go to the bathroom.

My best friend from college and her husband both have BRIGHT RED HAIR. It's funny because when they first got married, and would go out together holding hands, etc. a lot of people would say nasty things because they thought they were brother and sister!! They now have a baby with BRIGHT RED HAIR. And a cat with- you guessed it- orange fur!

I think Dave and Kitty would make beautiful children. *sigh*

Chapter 170

"What a day, eh Kitty?", sighed Dave, flopping down on the bed.

Catriona joined him, stroking his head in her lap. "I know, I didn't know the hills were so good for hiking", she said.

"Yeah, I like to go hiking, it's good for your lungs, which is good for my voice. It's beautiful around here, only thing is the wildfires. Luckily we haven't had one in a while", he said.

"I hope you never have one, Dave. They sound horrible, I saw it on the news", she said, concern in her voice.

"I'm glad someone is concerned about my sorry ass, Kitty. But if we get orders, we have to evacuate. Luckily the house is insured, we don't have to worry about that. And I can't wait to see the kids again", he said wistfully.

"I know, I can't wait to meet them, they sound like great kids", she said.

"I know, Kitty", he murmured, gently kissing her lips.

The kiss was the barest touch of his lips on hers, the initial contact feathery soft. Catriona wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss, a low moan rising in her throat. Dave's tongue parted her lips and probed inside her mouth, toying with hers.

Their kisses grew more feverish and frantic as he unbuttoned her blouse. Dave broke the kiss and removed the thin scrap of cloth, revealing the lacy bra and the creamy swell of her breasts. "You are beautiful, Kitty", he whispered, unhooking her bra. Her breasts spilled free, the abundant pale flesh so tempting to him with their taut pink nipples.

Dave removed his own shirt and tossed it aside, filling his hands with her breasts. The pink nipples hardened instantly at his touch, earning a moan from her. His thumbs rubbed the stiff little peaks, before lowering his head and drawing the nipple into his mouth. Catriona mewled at the contact, her fingers tangled in his hair. His lips and tongue caressed the hardened pink tip, his long hair tickling her flesh. Dave moved to her other breast, her damp nipple tingling from his caress. Soft moans escaped her lips as he gave the same attention to her other breast, the edge of his teeth grazing against the hard peak.

Dave gave each nipple one final kiss and lifted his face from her breasts. He reached for the buttons of her jeans and unfastened them, smiling when he saw she didn't wear underwear. "Naughty girl", he chuckled, parting the fly and gently probing inside her with a finger. Catriona gasped at the feathery touch, feeling his finger stroking her. His finger moved deeper into her body, rubbing against that inflamed nub of flesh. Her eyes shut tight against the pleasure, feeling an extra finger slide into her slick warmth.

"You are so hot, Kitty", he murmured, slowly withdrawing his fingers from her body. Catriona whimpered with need, her eyes glowing with lust.

"Relax, Kitty", he chided, removing her jeans and taking off his own. Dave took her into his arms and kissed her, his tongue plunging in between her lips. Her tongue dueled with his, as she clutched onto his hair, his body pressed against hers.

Dave broke the kiss and rolled her over. "Get on your hands and knees", he said. Catriona nodded and followed his order, sighing in delight when he rubbed against her. Her eyes widened in pleasure when he entered her body, his hands grasping her hips. She felt him move inside her warmth, his strong hands gripping her tightly. He slowly moved in and out of her body, her ragged sighs and moans in his ears.

"Oh Dave", she whimpered. He thrust harder and faster into her body, grunting when he felt her tight warm flesh around him. Catriona felt her vision splinter into a million pieces, moaning his name. Dave growled low in his throat, thrusting one last time into her body.

They clung to each other, sweaty and breathless. Dave took her into his arms and kissed her. "Goodnight, my beautiful Kitty", he whispered, turning off the light.

That was another totally sweet and kick ass chapter. :horns: I hope that the wild fires don't hurt Dave's house. I have a friend that lives in California and the fires have come very close to her a few times. Dave's house sounds badass so I don't want anything to happen to it.

I'm eager for some more. :)

Chapter 171

"Remember, I want to know everything about her. And tell them not to have sex in the house, and tell me if they do anything", said Pam, as they approached the house.

Justis rolled his eyes and turned up the volume on his Ipod. I don't care what Dad's girlfriend is like, I just hope she's not like Mom, he thought.

The car stopped, the kids bursting into smiles when they saw their father. Dave was dressed casually in jeans and an AC/DC shirt, his red hair loose to his shoulders. The woman next to him was tall and slim, auburn hair in a long braid down her back. She wore a red and blue kilt topped off by a Children of Bodom shirt. Wow, she looks cool, and she's got great taste in music, he thought approvingly.

Pam scowled when he saw them. "Hello Dave. Kids, remember what I said", she muttered, as the kids left the car and it drove away.

"Hey kids", said Dave, as they both embraced him.

"Hey Dad. Are you Dad's girlfriend?", asked Justis.

"Justis, Electra, this is my girlfriend Catriona Burton. Kitty, these are my kids Justis and Electra", said Dave.

Catriona shook their hands and smiled at them. "Glad to meet you, Justis and Electra. I made some tea and sandwiches, you want some?", she asked.

"Ooh, I love tea. Do you have green tea?", asked Electra eagerly.

"Yeah, I made a pot and some Earl Grey, that's what your father likes. Let's go inside", she said.

Catriona led them inside and observed them. They are definetly Mustaines, she chuckled. Justis was as tall as his father, with Dave's wavy red hair and warm hazel eyes. He wore jeans and a Trivium shirt, his hair reaching his shoulders. Electra was a cute girl with strawberry blond hair and bright blue eyes, wearing jeans and a pink t shirt, which set off her coloring perfectly.

"Dad, did you get the MP3's I sent?", asked Justis, as she prepared the tea.

"Yeah, you're doing great, son. That solo you did, it sounds very AC/DC but less bluesy", he said approvingly.

Electra watched as Catriona took a tray out of the fridge. It had numerous tiny sandwiches held in place with toothpicks, containing both cucumber and cheese sandwiches. "Wow, you do that?", she asked.

"Yeah, my mom is British, these are tea sandwiches. Mom sometimes makes cookies and even pie to go with tea", she replied.

"You know how to make cookies?", she asked.

"Yeah, it's a lot of fun", she chuckled, setting down the tray.

"Can I make cookies?", asked Electra.

"Sure, I can't see why not", she replied.

"Electra, don't pester Kitty", said Dave, pouring himself a cup of tea and adding a lump of sugar.

"That's okay, Dave. How do you like your tea, Electra?", she asked.

"One lump, please", she replied. Catriona nodded and prepared the girl's tea and then prepared her own cup.

Dave took a sip of his tea and observed them. It made him glad that she got along with his daughter, that there didn't seem to be any friction between them. It's great that they're getting along, I was worried there for a moment, he thought, taking a bite of a cucumber sandwich.

"Dad, I wanna show you some stuff I'm working on", said Justis shyly.

"Sure, I bet you can shred like a badass, Justis. You're better than I was at your age", he said approvingly.

After tea, Dave and Justis left to go to the basement, leaving her alone with Electra. "You should hear Justis play guitar, Miss Catriona. He plays really good", she said.

"First, call me Kitty, everyone does. And yes, I suppose the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Do you play music, Electra?", she asked, putting away the dishes.

"I can play Hannah Montana songs on the piano, and I like to sing. Mom and Bernie don't like to hear Justis play, she says it gives her a headache", she replied, making a face.

"That is a mean thing to say, Electra. Your Mom should be proud to have a talented son", she chided.

"Thanks, Kitty. Do you play music?", she asked.

"Yeah, I sing in a band called Beren's Dream. We're finished with our second record", she replied.

"Let me get something, Electra", she said, leaving the room. Catriona returned several minutes later with a copy of Kiss of the Nightingale. The front cover showed a lake as seen from behind a grove of trees, the sky a deep purplish-black with tiny white stars like candles. A white bird with a silver necklace around it's throat sat in the trees, it's mouth open in song. Below the bird were a couple of young lovers, the woman having long black hair and clad in a white gown that reached her bare feet. The young man was also dark-haired, wearing a white tunic with a crown of laurel on his head. The love between them was obvious from the look the man gave the woman, the warm pink flush on her cheeks.

"Wow, it's beautiful", said Electra.

"I know, I came up with the cover concept, it's from a dream I had", she replied, opening the booklet. In the center was a band portrait. The group all wore Edwardian black velvet suits with white shirts, looking elegant and otherworldly. In the center was Catriona, who was really the focus of attention. She looked exceptionally beautiful in a wine-colored velvet gown, her auburn hair in a braid and piled high atop her head. The gown was in a high-Victorian style with a lace collar and a bodice made of black silk and white lace, the laces in the front pulled tight to accentuate her narrow waist, full bosom and rounded hips. The skirt was long and her black patent leather shoes peeked out from under the velvet. She had a solemn look on her face, but her hazel eyes had a soft glow to them, the color of warm caramel with just the tiniest hint of green, her full red lips with a slight pout to them.

"Oh, you are so pretty. Can I wear a dress like that?", asked Electra.

"Not until you're older, Electra", she chuckled.

"No wonder Dad likes you, you're so pretty and cool", she said.

That chapter was fun :) Me likey. A fun and happy start to my day. :dance :dance :dance


First of all, I am craving tea sandwiches now. I tried to make tea sandwiches once and they turned out looking like shit. They tatsed like shit too.

I'm happy that the kids like Kitty. No matter how nice she is, I think it would be hard for me to get used to my dad dating someone young enough to be his daughter, but I'm still a Davetriona shipper. :) I'm not one of Dave's kids so I don't have to deal with it. :dance

Loved the sound of Kitty's wine colored dress. Actually, I have one that is very similar that I wear around Christmas or for Victorian themed weddings and parties.

You rock Vanessa! :nanner:

Cool! Kitty met Dave's kids and they seem to really love her! I'm so happy! They probably needed a break from Pam. I mean, who asks her kids to give a report on their dad's sexual habits?! EWWWWW!

I'm in a good mood, ladies :)

Chapter 172

Dave sat on the worn brown leather couch and observed Justis play. He had strapped on his black Jackson Flying V and was playing Wasted Years by Iron Maiden, his eyes closed in concentration and his red hair framing his face. His fingers flew over the strings like a blur, the music washing over them.

He's terrific already, and he's only going to get better, he thought approvingly.

"You were great, Justis. You missed one note during the solo, but I could barely hear it. Just keep on practicing", he said.

"Thanks Dad. Uh, I got a piece I'm working on, you wanna hear it?", he asked shyly.

"Sure, go ahead", replied Dave.

Justis took a deep breath and got a notebook out of his backpack. He flipped through the pages and studied the notation then began to play.

Dave sat back on the couch, a bland smile on his face. However, his mind was in overdrive, hearing his son play. The piece was fast and aggressive, yet there was a strong melody present. It had a vaguely classical sound that reminded him of Children of Bodom, rather than AC/DC.

"How was it, Dad?", asked Justis, an eager smile on his lips.

"I loved it. It's fast and heavy as hell, but there's still a melody there, it's not just playing a lot of notes. It sounds like Children of Bodom, and some classical stuff", he said.

"Yeah, I've been listening to Hatebreeder a lot, especially Silent Night, Bodom Night and Towards Dead End. My music teacher at school lent me a copy of the Magic Flute, it rules", he said, taking the CD out of his backpack.

"That's great, Justis. I was just a Zeppelin and KISS fan back in the day, no one ever played me classical music. What sort of classical music do you like?", he asked curiously.

"I like Wagner, it's really loud, and Mozart is cool too. I also like Vivaldi, I saw that video where Alexi and Roope were playing Summer from the Four Season", he said.

"Awesome. I wish you kids could have gone with us on Gigantour, I could've introduced you to Alexi, he's a good kid, but crazy. Maybe next year", he said wistfully.

Justis took off his guitar and carefully put it back in its case. He lingered over the case, fiddling with the latch. "Uh Dad, there's a girl I like", he blurted out.

Dave chuckled, his hazel eyes gleaming with merriment. "Awesome, who's the lucky girl?", he teased.

Justis blushed, his cheeks turning pink. "Her name is Teresa Alvarez, her family moved here from Spain last year. I'd like to ask her out, but I'm afraid she'll shoot me down", he mumbled.

Dave put a hand on his shoulders. "Son, go for it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I used to be shy around girls at your age, but believe me, girls like the guitar players. What's she like?", he asked.

"She's gorgeous, she's got this really black hair and big brown eyes. She lives down the street from us, but she's got an older brother and her dad is a big guy. I don't wanna get my ass kicked", he chuckled weakly.

"Don't say that, Justis. Just go and say hi, talk to her for a bit. But don't get any ideas, guys like that, they're really protective of their daughters", he warned.

"But didn't you get with a lot of chicks, Dad?", he teased.

"Hey, that was back in the eighties, Justis. I got Kitty now, I don't need other girls. And I don't want to hear you've been with all the ladies, kid. Back in the eighties it was different", he chided.

"Yeah, I know, Dad. I like your girlfriend, she's cool and likes Bodom. I thought you were going to hook up with an old chick", he joked.

"Very funny, you young whippersnapper. Yeah, Kitty's a great girl", he sighed.


Meanwhile, Catriona and Electra were watching Hannah Montana. Electra had a big smile on her face, obviously enjoying her favorite show, but Catriona was bored, even though she tried to hide it.

I don't like it, but I can see why she does. Then again, I'm not ten years old, she chuckled.

Suddenly, an idea came to her. Catriona hastily got to her feet and went to the kitchen. She opened a drawer and took out a notepad and a pen, hurrying back to the living room. While Electra was watching the show, she began to write furiously:

I once gave you my love
I offered my heart to you
You accepted my gift
You said pretty words, love words
The words I so longed to hear

But you took my love
Took my heart
Laughed at my stupidity
Ground my tears to dust
Shattered my dreams

I was a fool then
But I am a fool no longer
Take your pretty words
Your false smiles
Give them to some other fool

I am strong
I am loved
I am redeemed
I am reborn

My pain will fade
To be replaced by love
I hope your pain
Is just beginning
Let us see
Who has the the last laugh


Catriona sank back in her chair, her eyes wide. Wow, did I just write that? They look emo, though. I hope Dave likes them, she mused.

Kitty is a trooper for sticking out through Hannah Montana. I would have fallen asleep or left Electra to watch it alone. Even though I think that Billy Ray is :drool :lol: :lol:

Justis asking Dave for advice on girls was funny and sweet. And he's right, things were different in the eighties. At least according to my friend who toured in a band back then.


Rock on!! :horns:

Mom is going to unplug the computer the computer and move it to the room. If I don't get online in the next few days, that's why. I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I'm not an optimist, the glass is always half empty to me :( Oh well, there's always the library :rolleyes:

Chapter 173

"Man, it's been so long since I've been to Pizza Hut", sighed Dave, as he parked outside the building.

"Me too. Then again, the Bay Area has so many good pizzerias, you don't have to go to Pizza Hut", she chuckled.

"Can we have the pizza with everything on it?", pleaded Electra.

"Sure, whatever you want", said Dave, leading them inside the restaurant.

"Party of four, nonsmoking", he said.

The greeter nodded and took four menus, leading them inside. The restaurant was half-full, mostly families and old people cashing in their senior discounts. Nobody noticed them as she led them to a booth in the back.

"Order whatever you want, you guys", said Dave, opening the menu.

Justis scanned the menu and quickly decided what he wanted and put it down. Bored, his eyes looked around the dining room. His heart pounded and a goofy smile formed on his face when he saw her.

Teresa sat at a table several yards away with her father and brother. She was a slim, beautiful girl with long wavy black hair that gleamed like raven's wings, going perfectly with her olive, slightly tanned skin. She wore white shorts and a white t-shirt, her dark eyes dancing with amusement as she laughed at her brother's joke.

"Justis, what are you going to have?", asked Dave, gently poking his son.

He turned deep red and looked down on the menu. "Uh, I'll have a medium pepperoni pizza and a Coke", he mumbled. The waiter took their order and left their table.

"Justis, are you all right?", he asked.

"Uh, yeah Dad. I saw Teresa with her folks", he whispered.

Dave looked around and saw her. "That's her? You got good taste there, son, but be careful around her dad, I know that type of Daddy", he chuckled, as both Catriona and Electra giggled, behind their hands.

The waiter arrived with their food as they began to eat. Justis kept sneaking looks at Teresa in between bites of pizza, watching as a glob of cheese dribbled down her chin and she wiped it off. Damn, that is hot. I wish I were that pizza, he thought.

When they finished, Teresa got up and walked towards their table. "Hola, Senor Mustaine. Hi, Justis. I just came to say hell, I did not expect to see you here", she said, her husky voice and heavy Spanish accent making him weak in the knees.

"Uhm, Hi Teresa. Glad to see you here. Uh, this is my dad and his girlfriend and my sister Electra", he said in a rush.

"Hola. Justis, would you like to go to the movies on Friday? My brother is going as well, Papa says he must go with us", she said.

Justis looked helplessly at his father. Dave smiled at his son, clapping him on the back. "Okay, Teresa. You want me to pick you up?", he asked.

"Si, Justis. See you on Friday", said Teresa, going back to her family.

"Wow", he murmured.

"I know, son. Just be on your best behavior, I don't want her daddy kicking your ass", he chuckled.

Dude! I love Pizza Hut, especially their breadsticks. Sometimes only Pizza Hut pizza is the only pizza that my hubby and I want. Except I don't like it cold the next day. :P

It only takes a couple of minutes to unplug, move, and hook up a computer. I'll be half full for you, (I'm an optimist) and say that you'll be back with us by tomorrow at the latest. :)
