We are both breathing heavily on the floor trying to catch our breath while he holds my hand and he places my head on his shoulders calming down.
"That was great," he says kissing my forehead
"It was amazing" I answer and giggle which earns me another kiss I feel on top of the world right now
"Are you close to your parents? You have never mentioned them" he says to me and the topic is so off the subject I find myself leaving his embrace
"I am sorry I know it's a weird thing to say after what just happen" he answers quickly and I feel like I made the whole thing weird now
"No, it's okay. Are you close to yours?" I say smiling while I take back his hand in mine to lighten the mood that was obviously dying
"Yes. I like going to be when I have issues that I can figure out. They give me hope and cheer me on
"That's nice"
"What of you?"
"I think my mum would say we are close. I don't know"
"What about your dad?"
"Huh!" I chuckle at that and find him staring at me clearly confused
"He cheated on Mum and dumped the both of us. I don't really think I have one"
"I'm so sorry"
"It's okay after 25 years it doesn't hurt anymore. He has a new family and everything so I think he's happy and I want to be happy too"
"Is he in your life at all?"
"He reached out to me five years ago. I don't believe he is sincere and creating a relationship with him would feel like a betrayal to my mum after all that he put her through"
"I'm guessing it was a nasty divorce"
"The worst. I was only five my mum was heartbroken and she leaned on me. it was so tough on me and I had to choose between my parents while I did not even understand what was going on" He holds my hand tightly in a comforting way and I sigh
"Never get involved with a married man. You will destroy families and lives. My mum would repeat this to me since I was like seven and curse on the woman that took my dad from us. The cheating did a number on her and she took it badly. The divorce only finished it. My mum had a house that she couldn't continue leaving in with all those painful memories so she sold it and we moved. I know for me she tried to move on but she really couldn't. She is still single and holds the same grudge and pain "I chuckle then smiled at Memories Back Then
"She created a support group that actually works on preventing the breakup of families. Women go there and share their stories of how difficult their marriages are to them and their unfaithfulness and they try to help them out. My mum took me to those meetings. I would go and prepare pamphlets, drinks and stuff and listen to all these people crying themselves out it was terrible" I wipe some tears that have left me unknowingly and I feel embarrassed
