Ethan and I waited in the car for Michael. "Mommy. I love you." He said. I furrowed my brows looking back at him. "I love you too bud. Are you okay?" He nodded, I sighed, then turned back around. Michael was walking out with all his stuff. I can't believe these 2 conned me into this. He put his stuff in the back, and he already had changed. He got in, and we were off. We arrived at the water park about 30 minutes later. Michael got Ethan, and I got the bag of towels. Ethan and Michael were already halfway inside. I shook my head, and caught up to them. We went on some water slides. But stayed mostly in the pool. It was cute here. I laid back in the chair. Soaking up the sun. I wish he would have picked a beach. I felt a tap on my leg. I looked down to see Ethan grinning at me. "What did you two do?" I asked. "We didn't do anything mommy. Come on!" He said, taking my hand. he guided me by the pool. Then pulled me in. It was cold!! "O-o-oh my g-g-god."I said shivering. Michael swam up to me and wrapped me in his arms. "I'll warm you up." He said. Ethan had ran away with a little girl. "So.. Why'd you tell him that you were his dad?" I asked. "Because. I could see the look in his eyes. i know what it feels like to not have a dad in your life. I didn't want him to be like that too." "Michael Gordon Clifford, do you care for my family?" I asked. "Yeah.. I do."He said, staring me in the eye. I nodded, "Okay. Thank you by the way." He looked at me confused. "I couldn't have told him what really happened to his dad. He wouldn't know about any of it. Or even understand it.." I said. "but I'm right here!" He said smiling. I rolled my eyes, "You know what I mean!" I laughed. I swam around looking for Ethan. I finally found him, talking with the small girl from earlier. I grinned, and swam over to them. "Hey, bud. We're gonna get some food. Say bye to your friend." I said. He hugged the small girl, and then we went back with Michael. We got lunch, then sat down for a little bit. I sighed as the sun seamed to be getting hotter. "How about we head home? We can play some Mario Kart." Michael said, to Ethan. He smiled and nodded his head. "Yeah!" So we got packed, and then went back to the car. I loaded Ethan in, and threw the bag on the other seat. Getting back in the car, and we all driving home. "Hey Angie?" Michael said. I turned to him. "Hmm?" "What's for dinner?" We all laughed. "I don't know.. Hamburgers?" I answered. We arrived at the apartments, and headed up. Getting changed, then looking for something to eat. I found a couple boxes of Mac-N-Cheese. So we made that, then the boys played Mario kart for a little bit. We put in a movie. Ethan was slowly falling asleep on Michael's lap. He finally fell asleep, and I got up. "I need a picture of this!" I said, pulling my phone out, and taking one. I smiled at it, then showed Michael. He grinned, "We made a good kid." He teased. I rolled my eyes, smiling. "I made a good kid." Then we took him back to bed. We walked back out to the living room. but before I went to sit down, Michael grabbed my wrist. "He really is a good kid." He said. I smiled, "Thanks." "It would be really rad to be in the kids life." He said, putting his arms around my waist. "I smiled, "Oh really now?" I said, wrapping my arms around his neck. He nodded, and then started messing with the hem of my shirt. Not looking at me, "And yours too." He said. I smiled, and put my hands on his cheeks, making him look at me. I crashed my lips into his. "It would be really rad for you to be in our life too." I said in between kisses. I wrapped my legs around his torso, and he carried me off to bed, still kissing.... (and all that other gross stuff...)
