she sleeps when she close her eyes

part two

The next morning, Saturday.

Kate was on the phone with a client talking about work.

"Well I'm not sure but I'll see if I can check with him." she said on the phone.
"Okay just let me check if I'm...sorry I understand but...no of course not...okay bye" she hang up the phone and walk down the corridor and froze at Katie's room to hear her saying.
"I wish I had someone to play with." katie told herself.

"Katie what are you doing?" Kate asked.

"Talking to Bella." she replied looking up at her mother.

"Oh okay. Why don't you ask Bella to play with you?" kate asked.

"Bella doesn't love playing ." she reply.

"Okay well why don't you and Bella get ready to come down and eat something." kate smiled.

"Okay we'll see you in a minute." katie said.
Kate smiled and walk to the kitchen.
***
Katie sat around the table and ate her cerial.
Kate glare at her and was deep in thoughts.
"What if...?" she thought to herself. But really, what if?

"Katie...I've got some stops to do, can you stay with daddy for a while just until I get back?" Kate asked.
"It's alright." katie replied.
***
Kate stopped infront of Richard's house and climbed out with Katie. Richard came out and walk to them with patience.

"Hallo daddy." katie gave her father a hug.

"Hi." he greeted kate.
"Hi." she greeted him back.

"I'll pick her up as soon as I'm done. She already ate her cerial so...see you later." kate just turn around but richard stopped her before she could walk away.

"Wait Kate, we need to talk." Richard said. Kate turn back to him and look him up and down not having any interest in this conversation.

"I'll go inside. Bye mom. Come on Bella." katie said and walk into the house.

"Who's Bella?" Richard asked folding his arms

"That's her imaginary friend." Kate replied.

"But she's too old for that." Richard said.

"She's eight years old Richard, now let her live." Kate said rudely. "Plus,I don't need to be rude but I need to go." kate turn around to the car.

"Fine, go ahead." he shaked his head.

Kate turn back around to him mad like a wet cat.

"And what's that suppose to mean?" Kate asked irritated.

"You never have time for anything or anyone, no wonder you're still single." Richard said rudely.

"You're the one that wanted this divorce Richard, not me! Moving on was part of your idea but unlike you I don't have time for kissing and telling people how to live their lives!" Kate shout.

They look at the right of house and saw the neighbors looking at them. They look back at each other.

"I've got work to do." Kate said and pull her car door open. "Plus, when you cheat in a relationship don't think you have all right to blame other just because you're the man. It's time to build a wall and get over yourself." Kate said with a rough painful voice climbing in her car and the driving away.
