GOD, those piercing blue eyes get me every time. They pop over the wall, like a little kid playing hide and seek trying to see if they are being seeked out yet, and then disappear. The piercing blue eyes that when she sees them up close she knows he is looking deep into her soul. She LOVED these eyes!
~♫♪♫~
Being without Benny for a year and a half now had Amber starting to like life again. Not love it mind you, but like it enough to enjoy living. Benny had proved to have become almost a man again and take responsibility for his children.
After his stint in prison, he had finally seen the light. He had a job, was still going to counseling, he found an apartment, and had made sure to take advantage of spending time with his children. This had been going on for six months straight now and that was a record for Benny.
The only downfall was when he would pick up the kids Amber had to listen to his I am sorry line every time. How he still loves her and tries to tell her he will win her back! What part of done did he just not understand?
Amber still was getting used to having the freedom of having no kids. It still saddened her that she would be free of Lily and Parker and had no friends to share it with.
Her best friend of 20 plus years, Colt was married so she never saw him because of his wife. Her other friend Manda Jo lived across the country so she was out as well. She did have a friend in town Kathryn or K as Amber called her was married with kids and they really only hung out when Amber had her kids.
Amber did have a new 'great' friend Rachel but she was out of town a lot lately due to her mother being ill.
The neighbors Ty and Jace well they were her friend but they were in and out of town due to work. Plus Amber did not have the kind of money they did so even if she did hang with them she could not afford to do much.
Amber had her job, it was part time and the money was not that great but they survived. This was all because her house was family owned and she paid $600 a year in rent. She paid the property taxes that was it, no profit for her mom.
She was so blessed and grateful that she was able to live like this.
Amber decided that since the weather was getting warm she would do some yard work this weekend. She had a black thumb but really wanted to get a vegetable and fruit garden going.
Parker had a huge sunflower grow last year and also a baby watermelon. Amber was hoping to do the same this year and actually be able to eat the stuff they grew.
Amber hugged the kids goodbye and went into the house to find her 'work in the yard' clothes. These consisted of the shortest booty shorts ever and a torn up tank top.
She looked in the mirror and prayed that nothing happened where she would have to go to the hospital or anywhere in public for that matter. She threw on her sunglasses and Tinkerbell hat and went in the back yard.
Amber liked the spring time, which in Vegas lasted about 3 weeks and then it became an inferno. She walked outside and let the warmth of the sun beat down on her face.
She never realized how wonderful the sun made her feel; she never took time to stop and enjoy things like this.
She walked back into the house and got a small piece of paper, wrote the date on it an wrote 'today I realized how wonderful the sun is'!
