Michael's POV

It's three weeks and i guess i now know what Darling meant when she said four months and it looks like she means it. I understand that i fucked up yet again by letting Linda into the house.

I was not expecting that at all. I was naive to think she was only looking for Darling. As a parent i thought it was the rigth thing to do. To give her a chance to have a relationship with her mom.

It's not just sex that she's holding on to either. She won't talk to me. If i go into the kitchen she goes into the living room. If i go to the living room she goes into the basement. It's like playing a game of cat and mouse and im tiered of it.

She walks in with her workout clothes. I watch her go straight to the stairs without looking at me once. "Darling." I call following her. "Darling." She walks to her bedroom door and closes it in my face. "Darling come on Doll i said i was sorry!" I yell through the door.

No answer.

I walk downstairs and into my home office. I'm hiding in my own house because i don't have the guts to break up with Carly. She doesn't take it seriously when i do say it. Not that Darling cares, she called me just a fuck buddy the other day.

I finally got her to talk that time and that's what she said back. I told her that i let Linda in because i thought it would be good for her. She said that i need to stay out of her personal business because im just her fuck buddy.

I love her and she knows it. I told her the day before she left and she didn't care. I was going to tell her again when Linda came in which i guess it was fate saving me. If I had told her i still loved her she probably would've laughed in my face.

I just want to break up with Carly because it doesn't feel good to be a cheater let alone to somebody as nice as Carly. She would never hurt a fly. It's just hard when she turns me down every time i say the words break up.

"Oh good Michael!" SHIT Carly. She walks in with a smile. "You're here! You have been so busy lately. I was thinking maybe tonight we can have a date night and go out to a restaurant. You know just us or you could even invite the twins and we can have a FAMILY dinner." She pushed my chair back and sits on my lap.

Family.

Rose and i had a conversation four days ago. She was telling me how Carly treats Darling. I was defending Carly but im starting to hear it. It's getting annoying. The more she opens her mouth the more i believe Rose.

I try to get her off of me. "No I'm actually busy. I have work to do." She pouts trying to be cute. "Pleaseeeeee Mikeeee." She kisses my neck trying to convince me but that makes me want to run the other way. I think Michael Junior reacted like a turtle trying to get back on its shell. I think i now have a three inch dick. Two if she keeps going.

"No" I get up making her stand as if her touch was burning me. The more i touch Darling the less i stand Carly. "Fine. like i give a fuck!" She yells storming out of the office. Instead of guilt i feel relief.

"Hey Dad." Lily just walks right in minutes later. "Do you know the reason i have a door there? It's so people knock on it, fuck! Why doesn't anyone knock my damn door at this house." I pinch the bridge with my nose irritated.

I look up to see a shocked Lily. Hurt is clear in her face. "I'm sorry Lily i'm just a little stress." She shyly nods knowing i never talk to them like this. "It's okay dad. I was here to tell you that dinner is ready but Carly isn't home." THANK GOD.

I look down at the papers in front of me to pretend i don't care what her next answer. "Id Darling eating with us?" I watch her out of the corner of my eye. "It looks like today she is. She said that she's too tired from practice to eat out today." I nod fixing my papers.
