Lucky or Unlucky?

Pointless

I was pulled out of my trip in to memory lane by the soft footsteps of my son. I watched him run in to my room and climb in to bed with me. Momma wake up! Why are you still asleep? Ive been awake for ages! We have to go to grandmas house. We have to go to the zoo and the aquarium and then we have to go to the pet shop for a puppy. Did you forget momma? said Nate. I smiled as his mouth ran a mile a minute.

Breathe, baby take a deep breath. Im going to go get dressed now and then well have a quick breakfast before we go to grandmas I told him as I pulled him in for a hug and I kissed his forehead before I let go of him to get out of bed.

What are we going to have for breakfast, momma? asked Nate as he stood upon the bed. I smiled at him as I look at him properly he was already dressed in a pair of light blue jeans, a black top and black all-star converse.

I walked towards the wardrobe. What do you want to eat, baby? I asked him as I took out a pair of grey skinny jeans and a white shirt.

I want pancakes. Chocolate chip pancakes! And dont call me baby, momma. Im not a baby said Nate as he began jumping on my bed.

Well only my baby can have pancakes and since you are a big boy you can have cereal I teased him.

No momma! Im a baby. Im your baby, momma. So, I can have chocolate chip pancakes, momma pleaded Nate as he continued jumping on my bed.

I know youre my precious baby. And my baby can have as many pancakes as my baby wants I told him blowing him a kiss.

Dont jump on the bed, Nate and get off the bed said Nick as he walked in to the room and saw Nate on the bed.

But why? Momma doesnt say anything when I jump on the bed whined Nate but stopped jumping on the bed. I took a light blue denim jacket out of the wardrobe before closing it.

I said get off the bed. You have your shoes on and youll get the bed dirty. You dont jump on the bed, youll fall off and hurt yourself said Nick putting his watch on his wrist.

But momma stuttered Nate.

But momma lets me. I know Im the bad guy, as always. Im not your momma, Im your father and Im telling you to get off the bed said Nick as he picked up his phone and wallet off the bed side table. Nick turned around to look at Nate still standing on the bed as he put them in his back pocket.

Nate go brush your teeth and wash your hands. Im going to have a quick shower and then well have pancakes before we go to grandmas I told him.

Okay, momma agreed Nate as he jumped off the bed and ran off to his room.

I looked at myself in the mirror after my shower to see that there were dark eye bags under my eyes. As well as bruising on the left side of my face from when Nick had backhanded me. I dried myself quickly and applied my strawberry moisturiser on before slipping on a pair of lacy underwear and matching bra. I straightened my hair and applied a light coat of foundation and concealer. Before putting on some blusher and black eyeliner and mascara. I didnt want to bother with it but I knew I looked dead and my mother in law, bless her heart would question me about it. I would rather prefer taking the time getting ready then to answer her questions.

Cold hands on my thighs startled me causing me to drop my lipstick on the floor. I looked up and locked eyes with Nicks eyes through the mirror.

Im sorry I forgive me, Taylor. Have you put anything on them? asked Nick as he looked at the marks on my back and thighs.

Its fine. Its nothing new. Theyll heal I told him moving away from Nick. I pulled on my jeans and then the top. I didnt want to be near him when I was naked and vulnerable.

Its not fine. Ill give you some gel to put on it that will help. I have it in my bag said Nick looking at me with hurt in his eyes.

We should go, Nate will be wondering where we are I said as I left the bathroom after putting my makeup away and putting the towel in the laundry basket. I didnt want to spoil today for Nate by arguing with Nick. It was pointless and going around and around in circles with him.
