CHAPTER THREE- Ecstasy
She lays in bed looking over at him. The sunlight glows in his face through the bedroom window. She had forgotten how amazing it felt when they were together. The loyalty and understanding, they seem to share.
How gentle he was with her.
The way their bodies moved together perfectly. Making her feel like she was in ecstasy. The way he kissed her neck and whispered in her ear, causing her whole body to tremble. She knew this kind of sexual chemistry was rare.
"Morning," she says leaning over to kiss his cheek. Maybe, he was all she really needed. Someone to laugh with, someone who took care of her, and amazing sex. I mean what else was she looking for?
Maybe, her answer was right there beside her. There were too many reasons not to try again.
He had convinced her.
"You ready for breakfast," he smiled at her. She looks over at the alarm clock, with a disappointed face.
It was already twelve o'clock.
"I wish I could. But I actually have some work to do at the office. I hope you can forgive me. I really don't want to rush you off. We just overslept," she explained.
"Well, call in sick. We can take Addison to the park or drive her to Disney World. Make a day of it," he suggested acting like it was the easiest thing for her just to skip work.
Suddenly, Andrea remembers one of the main reasons they broke up. Philip's lack of understanding about her job.
Since he was clearly rich, he did not seem to understand how the adult worked. If he missed too much work and she be without a job. Then who pay for everything? She knew he would offer, but Andrea was not at stay at home type girl. At least she didn't think she was.
Now she has to say no to his day of fun making her look once again like a workaholic and uninterested.
"I can't. I am already behind getting Addison to the babysitter's. And she has dance practice at four-thirty. I have to rush everywhere. I may even have to ask Michonne to take her to dance. I am running so late," she said feeling overwhelmed.
Being a single parent was anything but easy,she thinks silently.
"I have an idea. Call Michonne and tell her I am watching Addison. You can go straight to the office, while I feed her breakfast. I will stay here with her until dance class. We'll watch movies or go to the park. And you can meet at the us at the dance studio later. Then I will take us all out for dinner. Problem solved," he offered.
"You are sort of amazing. Helping me out like this. This is not the life I imagined. I am not so good at the parenting thing. I never saw myself as a mom," she says softly.
"You try to do too much. But I am back now to help you. I don't plan on going anywhere," he promises, pulling her into his arms.
She kisses him quickly on the lips. Then she rushes to get dressed for work. Before leaving the apartment she sees them in the kitchen together. Philip is making her pancakes, and Addison is laughing. They looked like a real father and daughter.
And she can't help but smile at the two of them. There was no else she rather have baby-sit Addison, she thought before locking the door.
