Episode 274: Better Than I Deserve"Have a nice weekend Jess." Lila forced a smile to combat the clouds in her eyes as she watched Bowie fold her son in his arms, wishing he’d do the same with her."I’m gonna set up the Lego ‘kay dad? Bye Mommy!" The little boy tore off his jacket and raced to a tiny room just off the matchbox sized living room/kitchen. Bowie tossed the jacket over the ragged sofa. He hardly uttered a word to Lila anymore. She even missed his reprimands. Why did she always wake up too late? Lila ran a hand along a nubby blanket piled atop a pillow on the sofa’s arm. "Lucky Jess is still small or he’d never get a good night’s sleep." "He gets the bed." Bowie scowled. "I take the sofa." "Of course you do," Lila sighed. "What’s that supposed to mean?" "Don’t be so defensive, I-" She clamped a hand over her mouth. Finding the bathroom, Lila assumed her standard morning position, only normally no one held back her hair. Afterwards, he joined her on the cold tiles, felt her forehead. "You’re a little warm." Because of him. Other men need guitars, power, money- but Bowie; it’s his goodness that’s unbearably sexy. "Stay the weekend." Bowie muttered a curse. "I’m not being a pushover, it’s just that you’re Jesse’s mom and somebody needs to take care of you, that’s all." Lila bit her lower lip. She should tell him she’s not sick. She’s pregnant and the odds aren’t in his favor, again. But she wanted the weekend. |
