CHAPTER TWO

“Jill! Jill! Are you talking to yourself again?” My mother shouted from the other room.

“Ah…now I’m just finishing up some work on the computer. I’ll be there in a sec.”

“Well, hurry up. That show is starting soon!”

“Ok…ok…” But I couldn’t resist looking at the men one more time. They were all so damn hunky.

“And what the hell are you looking at?” I heard my mother’s voice bark from right behind me.

“Wha…!” I almost jumped out of my seat. “You…you startled me.”

“Porn! You’re watching porn!” Mom jerked her head towards the image of the hot men on the screen.

“No…mom, it’s not porn.” I stood up and stepped in front of the computer so my body was covering as much of the screen as possible. God, I don’t know why I felt like I had to explain anything to her. I was an adult woman.

“See there,” my mother continued, “you’re trying to hide it.”

“No, mom…I…”

Mom didn’t seem to hear me. “You are living in my house, Jill Lambert, and you need to follow my rules. That includes no porn!”

“Mom!” I whined, exasperated. “It’s not porn! And I’m living in your house because every time I try to move out you get sick or something.”

“I do not get sick,” she muttered.

“Yes you do! Every time I mention moving to an apartment…you say you’re sick.”

Mom put her hand on her chest. “Well, I have a weak heart. And right now I can feel it throbbing… It’s just throbbing… I could be having a heart attack because of you.”

“Mom!” I rolled my eyes. I felt like screaming. If I had a dollar for every time she was having a heart attack, I’d be rich. She’d cried wolf once too often.

“I saw your doctor’s reports and it was very clear you have a healthy heart,” I shook my head. For years, my mother had complained of chest pains and a weak heart. I had been stunned to discover just this morning that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her heart. I wasn’t sure whether to be happy there was nothing wrong or sad that she had me thinking she could die at any minute for so long. I did know one thing for sure. There were going to have to be some changes.

Mom’s eyes narrowed. “Where did you see my doctor’s reports? Did the nurse from Dr. Mobey’s office call and talk to you? That’s confidential information.”

“No, mom, the nurse from Dr. Mobey’s office did not call me. You left your report sitting out on the counter.”

“Since when did you start reading my mail?”

“Mom the report was open on the counter. I picked it up to see what it was. It was just a paragraph—and you know how fast I read. It was easy to see at a glance that your heart is just fine.”

“Well, I don’t care what that doctor says. My heart is not good. They must have mixed me up with someone else. And my heart will be worse if you keep watching porn!” Mom sniffed as she grabbed at her chest.
