CHAPTER ELEVEN

Mommy and Daddy Issues…

Later that evening…

“You got my other text after that though, right?”

“Yes, the first one when you asked me to listen and have an open mind and then, a bit later, the second one arrived. Therefore, my question to you now is, are you some sort of psychic?” the woman asked, seeming unnerved. Aiden lounged back in his bed, not sure how to respond.

“What do you mean?”

“You sent me a text that said: I’m glad you asked your father for the money. It’s a great idea. One day you may have kids of your own, and they’ll ask for money too, LOL. I laughed at that initially, but then literally less than five minutes after you sent it, my father was telling me about one day I will have children, and then I’ll understand his and my mother’s position better. I rarely see my dad cry, Aiden. It was… hard. Today was so hard. I can’t even explain to you how hard it was!”

He sat up. The woman was downright choked up, emotionally bothered and bursting at the seams.

“I take it you two had a much-needed heart to heart, huh? That’s good.”

“Yes… and it was not what I expected. I owed him a big apology. I still felt left behind, but I totally got where he was coming from. It had never sunk in before today, probably because I was in the damn sunken place with Daniel the asshole! How could I have been so stupid?! You were right; most people would kill for a family like mine, Aiden. I was so blinded by whatever the hell was going on, I totally lost focus. After all of that, I handed him his check back.”

“What?”

“Yes. My apology to him will be me making this work on my own. I was wrong, point blank, period, Aiden. I am taking full responsibility for my part in this. I don’t get to play victim anymore. I chose the wrong motherfucker to marry.” He couldn’t help but smile at her words. What an amazing woman. “Time to own it and stop blaming everyone else. I knew deep down Daniel wasn’t a good match for me, but I was hell-bent on forcing it, making it work. The man for me would be a good person. He’d be kind, considerate, faithful. He’d make me laugh. He’d never come between me and my family. He’d never intentionally hurt me, either.” Aiden slid his hand behind his head, aching for her. He wished she were right there with him. Maybe through a hug and kiss, he could ease her pain. “Aiden…”

“Yeah?”

“Tell me about your parents.” He sat up, totally thrown off his game.

“Why?”

“Because you told me the other day that people would bend over backwards to have parents like mine, and the look in your eyes let me know that you experienced something different than me as a child and adolescent. Not only that, you told me when we first met that you grew up in Roxhill.
