Bad habits

11

I woke up the next morning to the smell of bacon "what are you doing?" I asked wrapping my blanket around my body as I walked into the kitchen

"Well I figured since little ms. Innocent broke the rules for one night id make her breakfast" he smiled putting more bacon down

"for the love of peter where is your shirt?" I rolled my eyes sitting at the table and resting my head down yawning

"Some where in that room" he shrugged

His back muscle was beautiful "well put it back on" I huffed closing my eyes

"You like it don't deny" he cheekily said placing a plate next to my head

"If that's what helps you sleep at night, so be it" I winked biting into the bacon "who knew Mr. Boggs could cook"

"My mother" he rolled his eyes

"Well my mom can't cook for the life of her" I laughed

"Neither can mine" he roughly exhaled standing up "I'll be back" he pushed his chair in and headed for the guest bedroom

"Sam.." I knocked on the door

"What?" he asked looking up at me. He was sitting on the corner of the bed with his head between his hands

"You okay?" I asked standing infront of him

"I guess" he shook his head in his hands

"Is it your mom?" I grabbed his hands and pulled them from his face

"Yeah" he looked away

"What happened?" I innocently asked playing with his fingers

"Shes not around much anymore" he shrugged "too busy selling drugs and herself"

"Sam im..." he cut me off

"Don't say sorry, Rosemary. You're life is perfect and I'm just some dumb guy who's ruining this perfect life of yours" he rambled on grabbing his shirt "i need a smoke"

With that he pushed past me and walked outside. I stood in the guest room for awhile pondering what he had just said "Sam!" I yelled running outside "my life is not perfect!"

"Bullshit" he rolled his eyes inhaling the smoke and blowing it out his nose

"Wanna bet?" I yelled in frustration "my dad walked out on my family when I was 10! he had a whole other family living in Colorado. My older brother is in prison for 1st degree murder and I'm not aloud to be within 100 miles of him. Now do you think my life is perfect?!"

"Rose" he looked at me dropping the cigarette and smashing it against the pavement "I-I didn't know"

"No one does" I whispered wrapping my arms around my chest to keep me warm

He walked over to me and put his arms around me and rubbed them along my arms to keep me warm "just so you know, your fucked up family is perfect to me"

"And your fucked up being is perfect to me" I smiled

"Did little Ms. Perfect swear?!? do it again" he joked

"Oh shut up Samuel" I laughed slapping his chest and walking towards my front door "now hurry the bacons getting cold"
