Thinking about my bitterness I had to change my train of thought before I did something horrible in front of my mother, like knock Diana 's lying scheming ass to the ground.
Hitting her would only bring minute gratification and leave me feeling bad about myself since I think hitting a woman is about one of the lowest things a man can do. But that doesn't stop me from imagining the satisfaction I might get from tossing her ass off a cliff, though.
I shook my head of my wayward thoughts and tried to put them out of my head for now. Mom was still prattling on about her surprise, and I had the fleeting thought that maybe I should have her sit down first before the excitement causes her to keel over. She's wanted a grandchild for so long, and I was beginning to fear that she might never get one since I'd sworn off marriage and family after the number my ex had done on me. Now she's grandma of twins.
"Is it a puppy? Did you go get me the one I want? Your dad is being such a jerk about it." I just rolled my eyes and walked around to the other side of the car to get my son with her hot on my heels. Her latest thing is some kind of miniature dog that's bred only in CT city. She's been begging for the last few months for my dad to fly out there and bring her back one.
You have to be on a waiting list to get one of the damn things, and our money didn't mean as much to them as it does to our peers, so we have to wait like everyone else. Something my dear beloved mom has no relations with. At least once a week, she pesters either dad or me about the damn dog to no avail. If I wasn't so busy, I might've given it a shot just to pacify her since she's only spoilt and entitled when it comes to her pets and the people she loves.
She was still raving about the dog when I opened the car door and reached for my son, who had fallen asleep. "Cadmus, they're?" Her voice, which had softened the way most women's do when they see a babies but it was still loud enough to wake them. I heard the second she recognized them as soon as she saw their eyes . "Cadmus …what…?"
