Temple

How stupid could I be? I came here for this shit? I should have known better.

“Well, at least I know where your heart is at.” I hear talking behind me but I don’t turn to look at her. I don’t want to. “I’m sorry, Temple. I have two children who mean the world to me, but I’ve seen Marc fall down the rabbit hole some call love before. I don’t want to see that happen again.” I still don’t answer her. That doesn’t make what she said to me better. The way she accused me. Of what? Caring about her son?

“I would never force him into anything the way she did. I’ve tried to stay away from him,” I say as I reach up and wipe the tears from my face. She steps closer, pulling my free hand into hers.

“I am truly sorry. Once your little one is here, you will understand. Will you walk with me?”

Reluctantly I nod my head. Wanda walks us around the side of the house and out into a small garden before ushering me toward a bench.

“Marc used to come out here and smash all my flowers when he was younger. When I’d yell at him, he would stick his tongue out and go splash his cousin in the fountain. I knew he was a rebel back then too. He isn’t any different now.”

“I meant what I said. I know I messed up and that’s why I’m not with him. I don’t want anything from him.”

“You want his heart. That’s something,” she says softly, her hand still tangled with mine.

“I… To be honest I don’t know if I want that or not. We haven’t known each other long. Everything just happened.”

“He knows. He brought you here. He didn’t bring that Riley girl around here,” she says and it almost sounds like she’s happy about that.

“Why don’t you like her?”

She smiles sadly before she scoots around to face me.

“She’s a cheater. Now, I know my son has done things that I would hate as well but she cheated on him many times. Each time he called me and I felt his heart crack through the phone. I felt it breaking. I know what he does and I don’t like it, but I also know that deep inside he has a heart and at times he wears it on his sleeve. That’s the boy I watched grow up. The one who would help others before himself. The boy who would hold the door open for a lady and say thank you. He’s grown into a man who knows what he wants but can’t seem to find it,” she says looking a little lost. I hate that look on her. She worries about him, that much I can tell. She must have been an amazing mother. She still is.

“What is it he’s looking for?” I ask softly not sure that I want to hear this part.

“The other piece of his heart, of course. You see, men are not whole.
