Troubles In Heaven

Chapter 4. The Tension

"The new girlfriend of mummy," Arden said shyly. Sophie looked at her ex, biting her lower lip.
"What?"What did he say?" Charlotte asked.
"Nothing, he's always inventing something to get attention." Armand slapped the head of his brother, who almost jumped on top of roof.

"Stop it!" Sophie shouted, mimicking Armand's act, standing between them.
Charlotte wanted to laugh. And she did it. Her laughter filled the air with a sound that had not been heard for hundreds of years. "Well, Armand has to go to university, and Arden for school," Sophie said. The two boys ran down the spiral staircase and their mothers followed them.

"Well, the conversation was not as difficult as I imagined." Sophie said. "They understood, they just need some time." she smiled, trying to disguise dissatisfaction.
"It was a revealing conversation, I discovered that my eldest son hates me and the other is ... well he's a teenager."

"Do not say that, Armand loves you, and me and his brother too." Sophie touched the arms of her ex-wife gently. "Divorce is complicated for them, especially for Armand. And the things he said was mouth-to-mouth."whispered Charlotte.

"He looks a lot like you" Sophie said and mimicked the way Charlotte raised her eyebrows when she was angry. Charlotte rolled her eyes, then smiled shyly.
"You're a good mother, Sophie. The boys are lucky to have you. But I wish you had been a good wife the same way that you are a great mother."

Sophie looked at her, not understanding what the blonde wanted to say." Well, yes, if it were not the children she cared for, she would be a better wife, almost always tired of either work or children. Before their sons appeared, but since they arrived at, Sophie just did not have time for her wife or for sex.

The two beauties came to a brown door. Sophie opened it and began to explain, "This will be your room, my door is in the middle of the corridor to the right. You know where to find me." Charlotte began to examine the room. There was a slight smell of cinnamon and milk in the air. Brown shades intertwine, playing a hunter or hide and seek.

The big bed for two was well done. There were beautiful ornaments on the frame and on the bottom of the bed. "Thank you," said Charlotte to Sophie and smiled at her.
Charlotte's words kept repeating in her mind. Sophie is different now, but at other times she would have started a discussion.

"Start with the right foot. It's for the children, think about the children." they kept repeating to herself. "Char, we still have a lot to talk about. We need a lawyer and a judge to get married ..." Sophie said as she escorted her ex-wife downstairs.
"I've thought of everything, I just hoped for your answer." Charlotte said as she pulled on her coat.

"See you and the kids tomorrow." she said and kissed the ex-wife's face, almost her mouth if Sophie had not turned her face away.
"See you tomorrow." the brunette said and closed the door shortly. Sophie leaned against the door. Her heart pounded wildly in her chest. Arden's beautiful head showed up from the stairs, "Mom, where are my pants?" Asked Arden. Sophie smiled and walked to his room.
