I looked into the eyes of two very disheartened kids.
As I told them their father was coming soon and I dressed them up nicely, I explained to them that he would love them, they weren't so sure.
Bethaany was I'm a pink dress with white polkadots and she was wearing white shoes with a pink flower in her hair. Lukas was wearing jeans, a blue shirt and a red and white checkered loose flannel over the top, that's was left open, he also had a blue and red and white flat hat on and white shoes.
Me, I was wearing a scarlet dress that was somewhat casual, it came to the knees and stopped, it was a boob tube, and I toned it down with nude wedges. I had my hair out and straight. I wasn't dressing to impress. I just needed him to know, I hadn't gone all snobby and slobby because he ruined my life.
And I wanted the kids to look nice so that he knew I cared about them.
I had the kettle boiling and made plates of cookies and crackers and deli ready on the table. It was 12:57 and he was never late.
I took one last look in the mirror, fixed my lipstick and thought. Im doing well for 28, life is... Ok.
The doorbell rang.
bethaany gasped, Lukas froze, and being super mum I dragged them to the door. Hard work! Once there I froze, and Luke being the man, opened it for me. Them beth froze and Luke froze. We all just awkwardly stood there, once again.. super mum. To the rescue! I quickly spat a "hi". And half smiled while pulling the kids hands to get the, to wake up, I gestured towards Beth and said "bethaany," then to Luke, "Lukas"
He just smiled, ass. SAY SOMETHING I almost screamed.
I just said a friendly "come it" and stalked into the kitchen.
"Coffee? Or tea?"
"You can't remember?"
Yes, I remember, you crush the coffee with abut if milk then you put the rest if the milk, ICE COFFEE!!
"Remember what?" I said playing it cool.
"Ice coffee.. Do you remember how to make it?"
"MUMMY ALWAYS HAS ICE COFFEE!!" Bethaany shouted
Thanks Beth! Not!
"So you do remember,"
"Not, I got another recipe"
That seem to have stung,
He scrunched his face and frowned.
"Oh" was all he said.
"So ice coffee I take it? I know how to make it aswell."
He just nodded still sad that I got another recipe, or at least said I did.
After I made it he smiled. Tricky bastard knew it was the same.
OMG I SWEAR I SAW HIM WINK! ASS!!!
I would so get him back.
As I was walking in from of him, I 'slipped' and fell. My dress popped out a bit and I could tell he saw.
He was staring and I caught him, we were starin at each other until Luke and Beth came over screaming "mummy are you ok?!?!"
"I'm fine babies"
"WE AREN'T BABIES"
"Sure sure" I said with a smile
Jacob just smiled at us, more... Grinned.
He looked so smug, he has nothing to be smug about.
Stupid smug bastard.
