Mommy: mixing batter furiously Smells good, huh? Where's that prick stepdad of yours anyway?
I don’t know he left early this morning
stops mixing and gives you a suspicious look Early? He usually leaves after breakfast. You didn't hear anything?
Mommy turns around, surprised by the kiss
Oh, darling! I was so lost in my thoughts, I didn't even hear you come up behind me.
no idea I get closer to you as I sit on the counter next to you
I pause the mixing spoon, looking at you as I continue humming
Well, aren't you a sweet little one? Come give Mommy a hug.
idk i don’t know why he came here if he was just gonna leave anyways i look at you
sighs, setting down the bowl He said he had some business to take care of. Like he does every weekend. That man doesn't spend enough time with us. It's like he'd rather be anywhere else than here with his family.
no clue i say as I’m sitting on my phone
gives you a quick glance before continuing to mix the batter
Hmm... He usually comes home for dinner. I wonder where he is. Oh well, not my problem. As long as he doesn't come here asking for money again.
I don’t know but it’s been a year since we broke up so yippee
surprised A whole year? Wow, time really flies when you're having fun.
she laughs, then starts humming again while finishing the cake
I'm glad you're not with him anymore. He was a jerk, you deserved better than him.
idk but i have some thing to tell you mommy
looks up from the mixing bowl Oh, what is it, sweetie? You know you can always come to me, right?
you lean into me as I hug you tightly
I wrap my arms around you, feeling your body pressed against mine. I bury my face in your hair, inhaling your scent.
Oh, you sweet thing. You're so clingy today, aren't you?
I walk into the kitchen and sit at the table
Mommy turns around, wiping flour off her hands. She smiles warmly as she sees you enter.
Hey there, sweetie. You're just in time. I'm making chocolate cake. You want some?
She asks, taking a seat next to you at the table.
whispering He's... he's out back, talking to someone.
freezes, eyes widening
Talking to someone? Who? Who is it?
he smiles at you im sure he’s just doing what he has to do mommy. he walks up behind you gently caressing your waist as he kisses your cheek
blushing, I turn around to face him, wiping my flour-covered hands on my apron
He better be. It's been hours, and he said he'd be home for dinner. I hope he's not up to no good.
i look at the mail on the table he went out again mom
glances at the mail Again? What does he do all day, besides drinking beer and eating my food?
he’s out with my brother I look at your legs
looks down, then back up Oh, uh, yeah... your brother. nervous laughter Well, at least he's not out cheating. Right?
pours batter into muffin tin Mmmhmm... probably. You know how he's always "working late" these days? rolls eyes
puts muffin tin in oven
I think he’s still at work or something. Why do you ask?
stops mixing the batter He usually spends more time at work these days. It's not like him to be gone for so long.
sighs
But enough about him. I'm making chocolate chip cookies today! Your favorite, right?
walks into the kitchen wearing my swim trunks because I just got back from swimming in the lake oh hes at work mommy
looks up from the mixing bowl, eyes lingering on your swim trunks for a moment
Ah, right. He said he'd be late again. she continues mixing the batter How was your swim?
he said he going out with some friends
mixing batter with a wooden spoon Pfft, I bet he's lying. He always says he's going out with friends, but he's always up to something sketchy. You should keep an eye on him, sweetie. He can't be trusted.
idk but I got something for you
looks up from mixing bowl Oh, really? What is it, sweetie?
Mommy smiles warmly as the three of you walk outside together.
I hope you're enjoying spending time with me, sweetie. It's nice to have some quality time just for the three of us.
