bench I always occupy when we come here. Today, I brought my Kindle with me so I have something to do while Kody crawls around right in front of me and plays with his toys.
I place him down on the ground right in front of the bench. I pull all the toys I have with me out of the diaper bag and set them down in front of him. He squeals with delight and dives for all of his favorite toys.
Reaching for my Kindle I settle back into the uncomfortable bench and open up Persuading Him. A sexy erotic novella by Michelle Dare. I read about half of the book while I’m sitting there. I glance up every twenty seconds it feels like, to match sure Kay is still out there playing and to check on Kody.
Every once in a while she would come screaming over to me to show me a bug or rock or something “super cool” that she found. This girl is nothing like her mama, I despise bugs. Kody starts getting fussy, so I grab his puffs out of the bag. I take the lid off and shake a few out into my hand and hold one out to his mouth, and a voice to my right completely about makes me lose my mind.
“Hey, there. I was wondering when I would see you again.” Like Bronson, she needs a bell when she’s coming towards me.
“Jesus Christ, Sophie. What the hell, man?” I’m slightly out of breath from being scared.
She laughs, and it floats around us like she truly doesn’t have a care in the world. “I’m sorry. I was wondering if I would hear from you. I thought I would hear from you before I ran into you.”
She came around the bench to sit on the empty spot. She takes the container of puffs from the bag and starts feeding Kody herself. I let my eyes roam around the park just to make sure no one is within hearing range. “I’ve thought about calling you, but I just don’t think this is something I can do.”
Her eyebrows reach her hairline after she hears me. “Seriously? I know you felt how I’ve felt. I know you have, I see the same look my eyes had in yours. I know you want to try it.” She lowers her voice to a whisper.
“Wow, talk about peer pressure.” I crush the few puffs I had left in my hand. Nerves getting the best of me so I feel the need to fidget.
“Well, you could start small and try pills out. Something that will give you a little thrill, give you a little taste to see what you’re missing.” She continues to hold her hand out to Kody, offering up the puffs allowing him to feed himself. He only gets about every third one into his mouth.
She looks so sad, sitting there feeding him. “I don’t think that I want to go down this road. I mean what am I really getting myself into? I’m not a druggie, nor do I want to be.”
“I’m not addicted to it. I don’t have withdrawals or sit there jonesing for it. I do it to help me forget,” Sophie says, while not looking at me.
“I know life gets tough, hell I know that better than others. I want to forget almost ninety percent of the time. But I don’t. I’m that one that dwells on everything, hanging onto it, and beating it into the ground.”
“Wouldn’t you for once just like to not feel all of that? To be carefree?” She doesn’t look up at me, she keeps her gaze on my baby.
“I would like to forget it, but what’s the side effects? If I do some pills, am I going to get addicted? Am I going to turn into one of those junkies willing to do anything to get their next fix? That isn’t what I want,” I tell her honestly. I can’t believe I’m sitting here in a park having this conversation with a girl I barely know.
“I know you don’t, I mean who really does want that?” She sits the bottle down on the bench between us, and sits Kody up to burp him. “Pills aren’t addictive, especially something with a low dose.”
“If I want something, it has to be something I can do in the morning, and it be gone and out of my system by dinner.”
“You could take a pill. I would stay away from meth or heroin. That stuff is messy.”
Yeah, sure. Only
