Jacks been so weird these past three or four days.
It was so odd. He's never acted like this before. And it wasn't just "weird". I mean like, weird about calls and texts, barely goes to work even though we both work from home, he still has to go and check in at the building.
"Hey baby, I uhh- I'll be right back I have some work stuff to do and I haven't been to the office all week" he popped his head into the room.
I just nodded my head and smiled at him.
"You alright?" He questioned. Was he seriously asking ME if I was alright?
After these past couple days of odd ass behavior. "Hm, uh yea, sorry I have to feed Reggie he hasn't eaten all day and I was about to make him a snack" I got up off the bed.
"Are you- sure you're okay?" He grabbed my arm. Oh great now he thinks something is wrong. Even though there is.
I don't want him knowing that.
"Well I'll uhm I'll see you later" he ran out. No "i love you". There wasn't a "be safe, I'll be home as soon as I can". He just hasn't been himself and I wish he could just tell me what the hell was going on so I could help him.
"Mommy" Reggie ran in. I looked at him and chuckled, "what the matter baby?" I kissed his forehead.
"I'm hungry" He whined. I grabbed his hands and lifted him up, placing him on my hip.
"What do you want baby? I'll make you anything" I winked at him. I sat him on top of the kitchen counter and opened the fridge.
"I'm just really hungry, but I want nuggets" He looked at me with a very sad look.
"I don't really wanna leave right now beanie" I ran my fingers through his hair. He frowned at me and I saw the sadden in his eyes.
"Get your shoes by the rack" I rolled my eyes.
He jumped down and ran towards the door to grab his shoes. He put them on but on the opposite foot.
He put on his sweatshirt and waiting for me at the door. I put on my tennis shoes and my trench coat, grabbing my keys out of the glass bowl sitting on the table by the door.
"Mommy come on" he dragged out. I laughed and opened the door for him. I made sure to lock the house as we left.
I saw a woman standing outside her car with her arms folded. She just looked at me, not in a creepy way but in a sort of bitchy look.
I gave her a dirty look back and grabbed Reggie's hand. I put him in the car and buckled him into his car seat.
I slammed the door shut and stood there staring at her.
I folded my arms and chuckled, "Can I help you with something" I walked towards her.
She began to back up and got a frightened look in her eyes. "Are you Cristina?" she laughed in a bitchy tone.
"Who wants to know?" I snapped.
"Me bitch" She got up in my face. I pushed her back and she fell into the hood of her car. "I don't know who the fuck you are but you're not going to bother me and give dirty looks to a 5 year old" I spat at her.
I heard a car park into the driveway and it was Jack. He got out of the car immediately and looked at me.
He looked at the girl and then back at me.
"What the fuck is going on?" Jack screamed. "Where is Reggie?" He asked worried.
"He's in the car, who the fuck is this?" I yelled in his face. "You didn't tell her?" The girl Laughed at me.
"YOU STUPID BITCH" I smacked her across the face. Jack pulled me off of her and got in between us. "Jack if you don't tell me who the fuck this is, I'm going to get in that car and I'm leaving" I pointed to Reggie.
"Good" The girl smirked.
"Shut the fuck up Sierra" Jack yelled at her. "Wait, so you know her? JACK WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?" I screamed. It got quiet. "Wait, Sierra? Isnt that the girl from work that called you the other day?" i put two and two together.
"I have his son" She yelled.
It got quiet again. Really quiet.
"He's in the car, you wanna meet him?" She frowned at him. A disgusted look came over my face and I ran to the car.
"Cristina stop" Jack yelled behind me.
I got in the car and started it. "Mommy what's wrong?" Reggie asked me.
"Don't worry about it baby" I turned back to him. "We're gonna go get you your nuggets, I'm starving" I drove off. I looked back and I saw that bitch talking with Jack.
I felt so god awful. I didn't even want to go home at this point.
I didn't have any clothes or anything. I just had my wallet and my keys. I decided maybe I could check into a hotel.
That's going to be the least of my problems. But until I can wrap my head around what the hell is happening, I just need time to think about all of it, away from Jack.
