I know these chapters are pretty short but bear with me. I'm trying to make
them as long as I can!!
Chapter 3
"Dillhole?" Kirsten said dubiously, "Are you kidding?"
"What? That's a real word," Jimmy replied innocently and noticing Kirsten's sceptical expression he protested, "It is! Come on someone back me up here!" He looked around the room for support. They all stared back blankly. "Fine. You win." He scooped the lettered tiles off of the Scrabble board and sighed, "You all just pick on me because I'm the Scrabble champion but I will rise above it cause' you know what? I'm the bigger pers...ow!" Kirsten had just elbowed him in the ribs, "That's for being a...dillhole." Kirsten finished.
"Ahh so you agree it's a word? Well then this opens a whole new can of worms. You're a cheat."
"Why don't you just quit while ever so slightly behind." Kirsten suggested as she threw the letter Q at his forehead. "Oh... oh this... this is war." He picked up the bag of scrabble tiles and dumped it over Kirsten's head oblivious to the furious stares coming from Sandy and Hailey. "You know Mom we were all planning on using those." Seth said signalling to the tiles caught in Kirsten's hair while trying to pierce the tension building in the room. Sandy stood up and announced that he was going to make some coffee. Kirsten followed him into the kitchen and noticing his outraged expression she placed a hand on his shoulder, "What?"
"If you wanna play mindless little flirting games with your high school sweetheart then do it in your own time. Just don't parade yourself in front of your husband, your kids and Jimmy's current girlfriend who just so happens to be your sister."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Don't give me that. I know it's harmless. I'm not saying that I don't trust you but I don't appreciate the performance." He stormed out of the kitchen and into the bathroom. Seth entered the kitchen and Kirsten turned to look at him, "Don't you start."
"Uh just came in for a drink but if you need some time alone with your hostility I'll just..."
"No. Sorry, I'm just... do you think that I act... flirty... around Jimmy?"
"Mom this is SO not a conversation I wanna have with my Mother."
"Just answer the question damn it! Yes or no?" Seth sighed and placed his hands firmly on his mother's shoulders. "Yes." He said and he turned to leave. Kirsten grabbed his elbow, "Elaborate." Seth's face turned away in protest, "Please." Kirsten said softly.
"Okay the thing is. You're clingy. You hug him hello, kiss him goodbye, fondle him in between... kidding Mom... hopefully. You're just a little full on... but I guess you're like that with all the guys," Kirsten's face looked on in disgust, "I'm KIDDING... wow you're so easy. In the joking sense of course."
"Just go." Kirsten ushered him out of the kitchen. When Sandy emerged from the toilet Kirsten was waiting for him at the door. "I'm sorry. I didn't realise I was so... clingy. I'll watch myself." Sandy smiled and kissed his wife, "You'd better. I don't want Jimmy to have to take on the Sandman." Kirsten giggled and draped her arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his lips. "Just because it's dark in here it doesn't mean that we can't see you," Hailey's voice sounded from the living room. Sandy took Kirsten's hand and escorted her back into the living room where he placed himself firmly between Kirsten and Jimmy, "So are we gonna try and wrap our head's around Monopoly?"
