I am buried in paper work, again… and working with my thingamabob... again. I don't know what's wrong with me! Usually I'd love to get my hands on ancient technology. It's just that after seeing her with him I can't stop thinking about them. They look so happy. I shake my and try to focus on the… oh fer crying out loud! Lost it again. 'Fare well focus...' I think and my head falls in my hands in frustration. I release a heavy sigh and head back to work.
After fiddling with the… what was it? ...never mind… I decide to head home. I see them together again in the parking lot. I can't believe it! After all we've been through, I see him laughing with someone else.
I broke it off with Pete for him and now I'm considered Second Best. Well, actually, I was pretty relieved after that but that's not the point. Even through my bit of envy I have to admit though, she is beautiful. Her long, curly, dirty blond hair, resting right on her shoulder adds to her crystal blue eyes and million dollar smile. I look into his deep brown eyes, a small smirk playing on my face as they approach me. Jealousy is just as complicated as love I guess.
I look down and ask, "So, how was your day?"
Her innocent blue eyes stab me as her tiny voice filled the empty lot. "We had lots of fun at work today."
I close my eyes briefly and look up to see a smile much like mine play on his face as he picks her up and hoists her on his hip, his wedding band shimmering from the lights above.
I laugh slightly to myself and realize…
How can I compete with my daughter?
