I know my wife isn’t doing drugs, but even I must admit I’m questioning her behavior. Just a minute ago she was fine, and now she’s very touchy and acting in a way that isn’t like herself.

Minnie passes her fingers over my lips, eyes solely focused on her movements. “Mhmm, I was feeling funny after dinner, so I took some of that medication you gave me yesterday. I didn’t want to get sick again.”

“Okay... and how much medicine did you take?” Em asks her, seeming more and more worried.

“Just one big spoon.” Minnie shrugs like it’s no big deal.

I grab onto both her wrists to stop her from touching me. “A tablespoon!? You took one tablespoon!?”

“Well, yeah. That’s what it says on the bottle.”

“No, Cecilia! It’s one teaspoon! Not tablespoon!” My eyes are about to pop out of my head with how wide they are. I look up to Emma, who sports the same expression.

“Oh God, well, that explains it.” Em taps her lip with her index finger.

“Explains what?”

“Why she’s acting like that. Think about it, Cece’s like toddler sized, and she took three times the required dosage. She’s basically high off the medication.”

Emma tries to hide her laugh behind her hand as Cecilia leans into my neck and rubs her head against me like a cat. I thought holding her wrists would stop her, butshe clearly outsmarted me.

“That’s possible!?”

“Oh yeah, it’s happened to me once. Although I was not rubbing myself up on someone.”

I give Emma an unimpressed look when she giggles.It’s nice to know she finds this funny.

“Okay, so what should we do? She took a lot more than necessary. Hell, she shouldn’t have even taken some in the first place. And like you mentioned, she’s pint-size, that can’t be good for her.” I try to move my head back, but Cecilia simply leans in even more.I’m sure at this point she’d even try to climb me.

“Mmm, you smellsooogood. Em, come smell.” We both ignore Minnie’s comment and continue our conversation.

“You should probably call poison control, just to make sure. They’ll be able to tell us everything we need to know and look out for.”

“Right, yes. Poison control.” I reach into my pocket for my phone while still holding on to Minnie’s wrists with one hand.

I search up the number on the net and call, then let go of Cecilia and pace the room while waiting for someone to answer. A little while later, I finally get to speak to someone, and they give me a list of things to watch out for.

He said the side effects should wear off within the next two hours, and if she begins to have any symptoms of overdose, she needs to be taken in for medical care. He assured me sheshouldbe fine.That only reduces my worries by a fraction, but still better than nothing.

I drop back to the couch beside Cecilia, who’s now fussing over Emma. But the minute she notices me; she jumps back onto my case. “There’s my sexy husband.”

She places her hands on my chest and begins to kiss my neck in a not so PG way. Her hand travels down to the hem of my white shirt and glides back up beneath the fabric.

“God, I love your abs. Em, did you see his abs? They’re delicious.” She pulls my shirt up so quickly I barely have time to catch it.

Not that I care if Emma sees me without a shirt, she has a hundred times. But I have a feeling if I let Minnie take it off, it won’t stop at just the shirt. She was clearly horny this morning, and I feel like whatever this medication is doing to her might be mixing her previous state in with it.

“Okay, baby. Your friend doesn’t need to see my abs.”

“But they’re so pretty. You should see his penis, it’s almost scary.” She cups a hand beside her mouth, turning her head toward Emma like she’s telling her a secret.Asecret I can very well hear.

Emma laughs and stands. “Okay. Well, that’s my cue to go.” She snatches her purse from the coffee table, then watches Cecilia as she climbs onto my lap.

Shaking her head, she turns for the door. “Call me if there’s any change.”

“Wait! No, you can’t leave. Don’t you dare leave, Mackenzie! What am I supposed to do with... this?” I do a show of the hand at Minnie practically rubbing herself on my legs.

“I’d say you enjoy it while it lasts,” Emma says, giggling, then opens the door and walks out with one last shout before shutting it behind her. “Have fun!”
