i got caroline in the car since i was going to drop her off with lip for the afternoon.
once i got to the gallagher house, i put her in the stroller and brought her inside.
i looked around and saw how strange the place looked, lip was going to do some remodeling before they sell it.
"wow, holy shit." i said as i saw emma sitting on the couch and studying.
"hey, mel!" emma said as i waved.
"what, a tornado blow through here?" i asked my husband.
"no, i was up half the night tearin shit out. hi, princess. hey." lip said the last part being directed at caroline.
"don't overwork yourself babe." i told him as i kissed his cheek.
"you, uh, you want coffee?" lip asked me.
"always." i said as lip went to pour me a mug full.
"here you go, my love." lip said as i smiled at him and took the mug.
"thank you. how much longer do you think this is gonna take?" i asked him.
"well, i should be done with the kitchen in a couple of days, then we can put it on the market." lip said.
"it's gonna be so weird, selling this place." i said.
"yeah?" lip said.
"i mean, i spent more time here than my own house. upstairs is where we kissed for the first time, had sex for the first time." i said with a smirk as he chuckled.
i started to look on the stuff that was on the table and i noticed something strange.
it was a painting that i had seen on the news this morning... it was a stolen painting.
"lip... is this...?" i trailed off not sure what to say.
"you weren't supposed to see that, uh, frank stole it... we think." lip told me.
"oh, jeez. oh, uh, how's the mechanic applications?" i asked him.
"uh, i got to follow up." lip replied.
"okay, today?" i asked him.
"look, none of the jobs i applied for are gonna pay anything close to what we make if we sell the house, all right? it's a better use of my time." lip said as i nodded my head.
"i just mean, you could always do both? right?" i said.
"yeah, okay." lip replied as he gave me a kiss.
"okay, i'm off to work. have a good day, my love." i said as i finished my coffee.
"you too, i love you." lip said.
"i love you, too." i replied before i walked out the door.
i was going back to my car when i heard someone say my name.
