He Never Did

In the Light

Weeks have passed fast on this tour and we're already back on the West Coast. Maybe I feel this seemed to has go faster than before because it's the first time me, Stevie, and Jacob have been together like this, just the three of us; and although I have always love playing live, they just make everything better. Stevie isn't really showing yet but most nights she lets me stay with her, my arms resting on her stomach when we fall asleep. Sometimes we fight though, we always have, especially when we remember that Kristen exists. We are in San Francisco tonight, and Kristen is staying with Jeff and bringing the kids to see the show.

I walk in with Jacob after taking him for a swim- there are hours before the show yet- and I find Stevie scribbling away in her journal. Jacob complains that he's hungry and Stevie insists on going for lunch on the other side of town, where she thinks one of our old haunts is still open, wanting to tell our son all the little stories we have about this city, as we drive around. She quickly changes into a dress and heels and I can't resist grabbing her by the hips while Jacob gets changed in his own room. "Linds..." She complains as I move my hands down to her ass. All I want right now is to fuck her against this wall.
"I can't help myself."
"Well do! We're leaving soon."
"What about late-"
"You're insatiable." She scalds, pushing me off her with a scowl that breaks into a smile.
We take a hand each from Jacob when he runs back in dressed in a little suit, making Stevie gush over his cuteness, and I swipe the door's lock as we leave. The lift is a little crowded with a lunchtime rush, and so I hoist Jacob in one of my arms, rubbing Stevie's  back with the other. My insides churn when we enter the lobby, and I quickly distance my body from Stevie's. She might've even spotted Kristen before I did, but hadn't made an effort to play platonic with me.
"Linds! Baby!" My wife cheerfully bounds toward us and Stevie moves out of my reach as Kristen plants a kiss on my lips.
"Hey Stevie! Jacob!" She adds, both replying curtly, Stevie taking Jacob from me so Kristen is able to embrace me fully.
"I'm so happy to see you, and so will the kids be- they're in the restaurant across the street with Jeff and Linda."
"Oh, uh..." Whatever I say next, someone will be upset.
"Me and Stevie were about to take Jacob t-"
"Linds, the kids are waiting for you, Stevie, you and Jake can come it's no problem."
"Thanks Kristen, sure," she replies with a smile. I notice her face drop for a second as I take Kristen's hand and we head for the door.
