What He Expects

Chapter 12

In the morning I got up when Mackenzie shook me awake because she was hungry. The other kids were up, except for Mark, which I had to get up. Once all the kids were up and awake I put on SpongeBob while making some bacon and eggs. I was still absolutely furious about last night and if he dares to show his face around when the kids are near I might punch him. After I got breakfast served, eating myself, I finished and cleaned up.

"Mummy can we go to the park today?" Arraya asked. I smiled and nodded my head. I didn't want to show that I was sad, Mackenzie already found me bawling on the floor last night I didn't need any of the kids to see me weak. I got everyone ready, dressed in warm clothes, a few snacks, and a few pair of extra clothes, water, and a small first aid kit. I know but I am like to be prepared. We went to the park and I let the roam on the playground, keeping my eyes on them making sure none of them disappeared or got hurt.

"Autumn." I heard a voice say behind me. I turned around and found him standing there. I looked back at the kids making sure they were ok then got off the park bench I was sitting on and walked up to him. My arms were crossed over my chest and I glared at him.

"What do you want?" I spat, keeping my voice down low so the kids wouldn't hear.

"Why are you angry with me? You have no reason to." His voice was laced with anger.

I gave a cold, humorless laugh. "Really? What is your reason?"

"Yes really." He snapped. "You claimed you weren't cheating on me then you go and sing a love song with a guy and you dedicated it to him!" He kept his voice low as well but I could hear he wanted to yell.

"You're angry over a song?" I hissed.

"You sang a love song about being in love with your best friend after you dedicated it to him!" He said flailing his arms around.

"I dedicated it to you!" I really wanted to yell right now. I turned around and checked on the kids, making sure they were ok I turned back around.

"Then why did you say you were dedicating it to some special then smiled at him?" He asked. "And with that picture of you kissing his neck, I don't think you were telling the truth."

"You don't trust me." I laughed, tears in my eyes, "You really think I cheated on you?" He didn't say anything.

I shook my head and wiped the tears away. "I can't believe you don't trust me, after everything. I thought you could trust me."

"I thought I could too." He whispered.

"I don't even know why I'm crying over you right now." I said, anger filling my emotions once again. "After what you did I don't think I can even touch you again."

"What did I do that was worse then cheating?" He spat.

"I never cheated on you!" This time I yelled. I quickly whipped around and saw Will looking towards us; Thomas was partly hidden behind a tree. I smiled at Will and he smiled back then went back to playing tag with his siblings. I turned back to Thomas.

"Then explain to me why you kissed his neck, explain to me why you sang a song about being so in love with this person." He said, I could see tears in his eyes.

"I've already told you." I whispered. "Go."

"What?" He asked.

"I said go! Leave!" I snapped.

"I have a right to see my children." He said angrily.

"Oh now you want to see them!" I said flailing my arms. "After you left them alone at the café where I couldn't see them! You could have put them in danger Thomas! But you couldn't care less because you were jealous because of a freaking song! A song Thomas! You didn't even think about what could have happen to our children!"

He didn't say a word.

"You know what Arraya said?" I whispered. "She thought you didn't want them anymore..."

"Au-"

I put my hand up. "No Thomas. I don't want to hear it right now. Just please leave."

"But-"

I shook my head. "Leave."
