Lover

Chapter 14 – Mum can fix anything?

Siting down at the table was the oddest feeling in the world, and not in a good way. It was one thing to like, to even have a crush on Heath. Though to sit down for dinner with him and my mother when only hours before we were in my bed having s*x was another story entirely. Looking down at my plate, I could not bear look either of them in the eyes. Though that was not exactly a problem as she had not noticed my anxieties in the slightest. Her gaze was firmly set on Heath, who seemed to not be feeling an ounce of awkwardness or anxiety. That knowledge in itself only made mine worse.

My mothers voice perky and high pitched you could tell in a heart beat she wanted something. Her hand extending out, I could see the shadow of it on the table as she reached over for Heath’s arm. Stroking his flesh up and down, “First night back, lets go out for a drink tonight. Let have some fun Heath. I have missed you.”

Inhaling a shaky breath, my chair scrapped along the floor as I stood in an instant. Both sets of eyes landing on me, I used the same excuse I did every other night. “I’m tired, have a good night. Umm… leave your plates and I’ll clean them up in the morning.” Taking my plate, I walked toward the kitchen. Unable to control or curb my emotions, I felt like I was a child again. Why was this all bothering me so much? I knew what the deal was, I knew things were going to take time. I needed to give myself and Heath time to work out what we were doing. I needed to trust that we were going to make the right decisions and not rush anything, but it hurt.

Reaching the sink, I felt my heart race as I started chewing on my lips. The emotions crashing through me in waves, I needed to get myself out of this situation. Going to place my plate in the sink it slipped from my hand landing in the sink with loud clang. Feeling the eyes on my back, I looked down to see the plate still intact. Releasing the breath I had been holding, I mumbled while quickening my pace to my bedroom. “Sorry. Night.”

Closing my door behind me, I could hear my mothers voice once again resounding. “So what do you think, why don’t we go out tonight? Just you and me.”

Heath groaning out quite loudly. I could not help but think his was trying to make sure I heard, “not tonight Maria.” Hearing footsteps clack across the floor to my bedroom, I backed away from the door. “Where are you going Maria?”

“I need to speak with Alice, I heard she caused a scene at work and walked out on Scott. She needs to keep that job and sort things out with Eric. The poor boy said to Scott he saw her here with an older man.” Her voice turning to one of amusement, “he must have seen you and thought you were together.” I could practically hear the laugher she was holding back at the thought of me with Heath. “Gosh all one big misunderstanding, but nothing I can’t fix. I just need to talk with her… I have already…”

Hearing her footsteps tap along the floor in a rush away from my door, I could imagine Heath pulling her back toward himself. His voice lower this time, I listened hard to try and make out his words. His voice muffled, I heard my mother giggle, I knew that giggle anywhere. “Give me five minutes and I’ll be ready.” My heart sinking, I knew he caved as her clacking continued down the hall to their bedroom door as she closed it behind her.

Solid footsteps coming closer to my door, my hand drifted to my chest rubbing my knuckles into my skin with force. “Alice don’t stress out. I will not betray you, I promise. We will talk tomorrow Ali, I will deal with your mother.” How could I respond to that, what did that even mean? He would deal with her, he would deal with her how? What if Eric said more, I tried to remember exactly what happened with Eric when he came inside the house. What exactly was said between us and Heath. What would happen if mum found out that that he had his arm around me? Would she think nothing of it, think that he was just looking out for me on her behalf?

Falling back on my bed I did not give any answer as I heard his footsteps move away from my room. Their door clicking open in a whirlwind of two minutes I heard my mother chatting away, fleeting back and forth across the floor getting her things together, then nothing. The front door sounded and I knew I was alone. Today I said yes and today Heath left to go out on a date with my mother. When they came back, they would share a room, they would share a bed.

Laying on my bed, I could feel the inner monolog and pain start. This was s**t, I thought saying yes to him was finally going to end this pain and unending torment. Though going that far and accepting him, then seeing him go out with her. This was more painful than before.

It felt like hours that I lay there wide awake, unable to even close my eyes. Eventually giving up as I would no doubt have no peace of mind until they came back, I left my room heading to the kitchen to clean up. Washing the dishes was almost soothing as I focused on the water. Having dried the last dish, I placed it in the cupboard as a knock sounded loudly, echoing through the house.
