I was sitting in the Burnt Toast Diner with Simon and Monty having dessert. I was told the Cherry Pie is terrific.
“Are we going to see daddy?” Monty cried out excitedly while playing the the ice in his soda.
“How long can we see him?” Simon asked me.
My two little Stepford boys,they grow up so fast. I proudly looked at them as they both managed to get vanilla ice cream on their perfect mugs. They were dressed in their new Cashmere crewneck sweaters,oxford shirts and brand new cords.
Their father then marched into the diner and he looked like this:
Monty jumped off his chair and ran to Nathan,who evidently has taken to just wearing pajama bottoms. He hasn’t done such a thing since our first year of dating!
Nathan swooped Monty up in his arms and grinned at me sheepishly “Long story,but
perfectly legit, I swear.”
Thank goodness the diner was barely populated,so not many people were staring
at my former/present husband.
He bent over to give me a kiss on the lips “I miss you.” he whispered,”I want to be a family again.”
I could smell his Georgio Armani cologne and was not able to nag him about his odd attire.
Nathan set Monty down and gave Simon a big bear hug. He sat down and ordered some coffee.
“Do we really get to stay the night with you dad?” Simon scampered off his chair
and was ready to head out.
I looked into Nathan’s sober eyes, I was so surprised and was hoping this wasn’t
just an act.
“You look tired, why don’t you take the night off while I have the boys?”
A night off? By myself? No one else,not even Mama Petrelli?
I’m going to Disneyland!
