ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON ELEVEN

Episode 50

" So since you have gotten your very generous allowance back from your father, Niles , " Matilda declared as she stood by the stove in her silky bathrobe pouring more coffee and staring point-blank at her family gathered around the kitchen table," I suppose you and Mary can now afford to get the fuck out of my house. "

Nance shoved a jam slathered scone in her mouth almost whole and crunched it as she mumbled ," Don't be so balmy , gal ! These two can't be just moving out like that! Not with our Mary expecting a wee lass or laddie now. I never put out any of my kiddies you know. Even when they needed putting out. "

Matilda wiggled her nose at her mother. Another one she wished would leave her house. Go back to Ireland or London or wherever. She didn't care where the woman went as long as she didn't have to look at her. Or hear her. Or smell her. The food bills were getting impossible even on what Richard gave her monthly and what Nigel paid her to sing. And it looked like old Gerald was a bust. Not after watching him and that walker boy after he was wounded. Pity. Gerald looked like old money. And deep down she sensed he was not as dull as he appeared. She bet he would have been fun in the sack.

Just like Franco. And Nicholas. She wondered if she could sweet talk herself back into Nicholas' bed again. Yes , Jenessa was an attractive woman. Like her daughter Faith. But she was old. In her mid sixties. Matilda wondered. " Nance , you kicked out Maureen for joining the nunnery. "

Nance guzzled from her flask before snapping," I did not! Your memory is shot all to hell ! Never kicked the fool gal out. She left for the convent. She writes me occasionally. I be waiting for her to come to her senses. I could not do it. Vow of poverty, my knickers ! And no sex. I think not. "

The old woman made noises come from her mouth and her rear end which prompted raucous laughing from Race Jr. who thought his Nana was just tops and wonderful for some reason as well as horrified looks from Mary and Niles.

Niles said," I believe you are right. In fact Mary and I plan to apartment hunt today after school. " He grinned merrily. " And have the rent bill sent to my old man. "

Mary leaned over to kiss him on the smiling lips. " Oh , Niles, you're such a good provider."
She then winked at him. And he winked back.
