Twenty-One

Monica

Well that certainly wasn’t how I wanted the afternoon to go, but what can you do, right?

But I suppose it could have gone much worse. Unlike Buck, Herc was able to actually control his temper and step back, realizing that in the grand scheme of things, maturity won out over bravado. And as much as I would have loved to have seen Buck have his ass handed to him, I’m thankful that Herc listened.

Maybe… maybe he is different.

I just hope that Ben didn’t hear—or see, God forbid—any of the argument that they had. He’s been through enough, especially today. His father decided to get rid of him so he could fuck a stranger. That’s already hard enough.

Despite everything, I still feel positive, happy, and I actually have a spring in my step. I’m looking forward to seeing what Ben thinks of Herc’s surprise, and I’m honestly glad he’s home. Sure, a weekend to myself would be nice, and the time alone with Herc was…

Mind-blowing doesn’t really cover the spike of heat that shoots straight through me when I think about it.

But I love my son and I’m not going to be upset about having him home when his asshole of a father can’t be bothered to spend time with him.

So I jaunt down the hall towards Ben’s room, a smile so wide it hurts my cheeks when I hear his squeal of excitement, still going full minutes after he first got inside.

There he is, grin from ear to ear, looking back and forth between me and the items left on his bed by Herc.

“Well?” I ask, crossing my arms over my chest and smirking. “Do you like your surprise?”

“Mom! This. Is. Awesome!”

He bounds towards me and wraps his arms around my middle in a decent tackle, and I let out a surprised gasp, barely staying on my feet. Then I laugh, hugging him back. My heart soars and I can’t stop the smile from creeping even higher on my face, his happiness curing all of the negativity that I feel.

“Well, I’ll take that as a yes, then.”

“A giant yes!”

I laugh and ruffle his hair, and then he wrangles himself from my grasp to run back over to his bed and join his loot. He hops onto the mattress and the signed football nearly goes bouncing off, but he deftly reaches out and grabs it, obviously not even thinking about it. I beam with pride. Not only is Ben a good kid, but he’s a damn good football player, with reflexes like a cat.

His gaze is pure joy and awe, all swirled together. He looks back at me as he hugs the ball.

“Mom, how?”

“How what?”

“How’d you get Herc to sign this stuff for me? Man, this is so cool. How’d you convince him?”

I’ve got a persuasive tongue when I want to.

Alright, slutty Monica, into the fucking corner, nose to the wall.

I smile at him and walk over to the bed, sitting down beside him and draping my arm over his shoulder with a chuckle.
