Phil the Family Man
CH 10
Keely's POV:
I was happy-sad-mad at Phil. I wanted to kiss him; I also wanted to slap him. All I could say was, "Look. It's Daddy."
"TIA!" I screamed so loud that probably all of Pickford heard it.
She came running in the room "Keels? What the mat- Oh, Phil. It's you, PHIL!"
"AJ, DJ, Go with Auntie Tia. Me and Daddy need alone time."
"No. Stay with Daddy, too," they insisted together, must be a twin thing.
"If you go with her, you will have daddy time."
"Ok."
"Good luck, Phil. Pray she was doesn' you."
"Jeez, thanks Tia. Miss You, too."
"Does this mean the wedding back on? Seth does have his best man now!" I yelled.
"Tomorrow"
I looked at Phil and I saw he was back. My Phil, the Phil that I feel in love with, the man I married was back. I took a deep breath and asked him, "Where did you go? What happened?"
Phil's POV:
"I am sorry. I needed a break from everything."
"You don't think I needed a break? Phil, I stay at home with the boys, plus I am a senior in high school." Idiot.
"Keels, the next day after our fight, I was so distracted that I lost my job. I was too embarrassed to come home and so I left."
"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN? WHERE DID YOU GO?"
Oh, crap. What to say without her killing me? "Uh… the past."
"What year?"
"2005"
"Why?"
Just drop it, please Keely. You really don't want to know. "Uh, I wanted to - um - change - um - something."
"Change what?" she quietly demanded with a face loaded with tension.
"I don't want to say." Don't make me say it, Keels. It'll only hurt you.
"SAY. IT. NOW."
"Fine. I want to stop me from making my video assignment and YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT I AM LEAVING AND I WILL TAKEN THE BOYS FOR THEIR DADDY TIME."
"FINE - GO!"
I slammed the door, grabbed the boys, and left. Tia looked at me like she was going to kill me. Oh well.
"Daddy we miss you," AJ said as he gave me a hug. "Don't leave again. Mommy missed you."
"I won't. I won't. Now let's go with have some fun."
