She swallowed hard as she looked at her daughter and finally shook her head. She wasn’t sure she wanted to have this conversation and let alone in some pizza joint but she needed to set things straight, if her daughter’s friend were talking like that. She sure as hell wanted to set some parents straight, no doubt about that.
“Now Sam, where did you hear that?”
“Some of the girls saw you and Bobby together and they thought that was the case. And I heard them talking about it.” Jackie pinched the bridge of her nose as she thought this over for a moment. They were 13 and 14, what did they know about boy toys and sugar mama’s to even begin with? Well, she didn’t care; she would set Sam straight about what they were and then explain how Bobby and Jackie were

Jackie turned on her heel and walked away. She wanted nothing more now than to leave this place and what was supposed to be a family fun night turned into something else completely. What was with people judging her? Her ex-husband was fucking someone younger and everyone was saying he was the man. And yet it was so damn fucking taboo for her and it was teaching her kids the wrong thing. Why the fucking double standard? And if she was seeing someone older, it would be just as wrong, just on a different level. Jackie rolled her eyes as she spewed over it all. “Mom are you okay?” “I’m not Dylan and I’m sorry but can we please go?” “But mom,” Dylan start

Bobby groaned as he woke up the next morning, his neck popping as he moved it side to side. Usually, he could do nights on the couch and not have problems. But then he wasn’t holding someone either. He opened his eyes and smiled at the red hair that was splayed all over his chest; it was a view he was growing used to and didn’t think he would want to give up too soon. He also couldn’t stop his thoughts from tumbling around over what she said last night. He would never understand why people thought they had any say in anyone’s business, but it seemed like a lot of people had a lot to say about Jackie’s. And sure, he could give it to them that if he and Jackie were setting bad influences for the kids, something could be said and done, but they weren’t. And it wasn’t like he was playing with Jackie in wanting to get close to the kids for her sake; he di

“Who the hell do you think you are? Getting to talk to her like that?” “I’m her ex-husband who has every right to be concerned with her fucking the help in front of my kids.” Bobby’s hands tightened up and Jackie put her hand once again on his arm and Greg just snorted when he saw that. “Sure, keep touching him. Keep this up Jackie and I’ll take you to court.” “Like hell, you will. You have nothing on me. First of all, I’m not fucking the help. Bobby works for me, he gets a fucking paycheck. And nothing that we have ever done has been on company hours. Second of all, we haven’t done anything in front of the kids, more than I can say for you! And if you have such a problem, step up and take your kids out,” Jackie told him and Bobby nodded. “Maybe better yet, you should own up to your promises to them? Breaking those are horrible to the kids, they aren’t old enough to deal with the bitter disappointment of a dad who doesn’t care,” Bobby told

A week later, Jackie was smiling at Bobby as she pulled his shirt on in his living room. They had a busy night ahead of them but they were still enjoying their high of the off-the-wall sex they just had. And it literally was. She had dropped the kids off for the weekend with their friends again and booked it over to Bobby’s place where she barely made it through the door before he had her pinned against it and was fucking her there. She had to admit, pent-up sex was fantastic. “God damn Jackie, you better wipe that smile off or everyone is going to know what you did.” Jackie laughed and laid her head on his chest. “So I got fucked and got fucked well, don’t we all deserve that?” He wrapped his arm around her and nodded. “Yeah, we all do.” He kissed the top of her head and she smiled even more. “Shit, I’m tired. I can’t say that there was really ever a woman that tired me out after sex.” “Well, when the wall didn’t cut it for the deeper pen

Jackie took another deep breath and turned as some people came up to the bar. She served them and once she was done, she cleaned up the area. She had to go back in and help Bobby that was her job, she thrived on being busy. And she knew she would be. She also knew that she had to bite her tongue because she was going to see a lot more. And she couldn’t, wouldn’t let Greg and his shit-talking intrude on her thoughts, she refused. So, with that, she walked back into the main bar, nodding at Buzz as he walked outside. She took to the side and watched as Bobby walked over, his hand resting gently on the small of her back. She smiled to herself at the care she saw in his eyes. “You okay, Jackie?” “Yeah, I’m good. Just...my own problems.” He frowned, obviously not happy with that response but she couldn’t help it, she couldn’t give him more, not now and not even later because he would think she was crazy and try to convince her she wasn’t.
When Hearts Collide ~ Chapter 41 ~
Jackie sat back down in her chair and let out a whoosh of air. Even with her fuck ups with Greg, she wasn’t sure she had been called out. And oddly enough, she didn’t like it. She ran her hands over her face and turned her chair around, looking at the pictures on her wall. She had one with the kids that she loved and it always made her smile; this time wasn’t any different. She knew she was in the wrong, creating problems that weren’t really there based on past experiences. And at every turn, Bobby had shown her just how great and amazing he was. She had to face him, had to own up to her stupidness, no matter how hard this would be or how much she didn’t want to. If they wanted a true and honest chance at a relationship, she had to kick Greg out of her head and focus on Bobby, focus on how he made her feel, focus on the good, and forget the bad. Greg had ruined their marriage and because of the feelings he brought forth from her, he ruined chances at other rel

“What are you doing?” Jackie laughed as she flopped back on her bed a few days later, the phone pushed to her ear with Bobby on the other end. The kids were in their rooms and she had just cleaned up the dinner mess. “I’m lying on my bed, what are you doing?” she returned his question. “I’m on break. You know, I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t like working when you aren’t here.” “Oh, is that right? Do tell me why you hate it so much. It’s a whole bunch of guys doing whatever you want, what could be so bad about that?” “One, there’s not nearly enough eye candy.” She rolled her eyes at that but couldn’t stop the chuckle. “Two, it’s boring, I can’t flirt with anyone.” That brought another eye roll but a blush as well. “And three, the other two don’t make things as much fun as you do.” “Maybe I should be telling Buzz to make it more fun. It’s a job, Bobby, it’s not always fun.” “Yeah, but when you wor

“Any plans this weekend?” Jackie crossed her arms and looked at Greg, lifting a brow. She knew exactly what he was asking but she wasn’t going to give it to him. “Clean my house and work. I’m not like you, Greg; I don’t need to be screwing all the time.” Greg rolled his eyes but he couldn’t come back with anything as the kids came bouncing down the stairs and launched themselves at him. It broke her heart to see how much they loved their dad and yet he made no real effort to be with them. Weekends like this were always so bittersweet for her, she loved that he did take them but it killed her when he brought them back upset. She hugged each one and gave them kisses. “Please be good for your dad. Have fun guys and I’ll see you Sunday at the bar.” She stood against the doorway until his car was out of sight. She let out a breath as she closed the door and went upstairs to get ready for work. She was excited to have Bobby over, but she just couldn’t trust her ex here and som
