Chapter Eighteen

Carla

(13 years old)

“MORNING,” ROXY SAYS WHEN I exit my bedroom, heading toward the kitchen area. I pause doing a double take. Not only is it rare to get a greeting from her, it’s even scarcer to see her up so early.

“Morning,” I reply, eyeing her suspiciously as she sits at the table nursing a cup of coffee.

Today must be a good day. They’re usually few and far between, but the past couple of weeks I’ve noticed a change in her. There’s a new guy on the scene of course, and she obviously likes this one because she’s been on her best behavior ever since he came into the picture.

It’s nice to see her happy for a change, but to be honest I’m not really a fan of this Bobby guy. He’s nice-looking, I guess, for an older dude. I can see why my mother is attracted to him. He has charisma, a kind of charm that seems to draw you in, but thankfully, I can see straight through him.

Roxy’s endless stream of creepy men over the years has been a huge learning curve for me. He seems to be treating her well, and he drives a flashy car. But there’s something about him that makes my skin crawl. Maybe it’s his leering eyes, or the not-so-subtle glances that come my way. I don’t think Roxy notices, but the way he looks at me sometimes gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Last week for instance, I was bending over getting something out of the fridge. I was unaware that he was behind me until I heard him groan. When I glanced over my shoulder, his eyes were glued to my ass and the pervert was licking his lips.

I’m willing to put all of that aside though, as long as he keeps his hands to himself. It’s a small price to pay to get this version of my mom.

“What are your plans for the day?” Roxy asks, surprising me. She doesn’t usually care what I do, as long as I’m not in her way.

I shrug. “I was going to help out at the gym.”

I’m still there on a daily basis. Reece even pays me now. I’ve learnt enough over the past two years that I’m able to teach a few classes. It’s usually just the little ninja class, but I enjoy it. Sometimes I even fill in at reception when Michelle is on her break or running errands.

“Hmm,” she says. “I’m not sure if I like you spending so much time there.”

“I like it.”

“Something just seems off, is all,” she says, reaching across the table to place her hand on top of mine. Again, not the norm, but I’ll take any affection I can get from her at this stage. “He’s a grown-ass man, what would he want a kid hanging around all the time for? I don’t trust him.”

“Reece is only twenty-three, and he’s good to me.”

“You’re what, ten… eleven? It’s wrong.”

“I’m thirteen,” I say, rolling my eyes. My own mother doesn’t even know how old I am.
