Something Mine

I remember this feeling all too well. This uneasiness, uncertainty. It’s like I can’t escape it. It follows me wherever I go, just lurking beneath the surface and out of reach. I even felt it that first night at Owen’s. The only reason it didn’t rage like a wildfire out of control was that I never fell under the scrutiny of his parents. It was still there, though. The feeling that made it easy to move from Phil’s house. That feeling of knowing it wasn’t my home, not really. I was just a guest. I was always just the guest.

The feeling started not long after my grandmother passed away, when I first moved in with my mother. She was shacking up with this guy that she dated before she met Phil. He was a total jerk face and made sure he mentioned to my mother daily, in front of me, that he hated kids and he wasn’t anybody’s daddy. Not that I wanted him anywhere around me to begin with. The man made my skin crawl so I was never more thankful than I was when she left him and we moved out.

  • Whispers of the Heart   New Reality

    Time does not stop and no matter how hard I willed it to at least slow down, it couldn’t do that either. In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday afternoon and we had just packed everything I brought with us into the Yukon and Owen was driving us over to Barb and John’s house for my move.I had spent time downstairs last night after getting Nate to sleep getting our clothes washed up so that everything I packed was clean and ready to go. Owen had came down with me and I actually taught him how to do laundry, something he said he would have to figure out next year while he was in college as he didn’t expect to be able to come home every weekend, regardless of where he chose to accept a scholarship.I had spoken with Barb already this morning and the plan was to first drop off what we had and then Barb would keep Nate with her while I went with Owen and John to load up the rest of my stuff. Barb said she had a bed and a dresser but anything else I wanted to bring to make the room mine, I n

  • Whispers of the Heart   Lazy Pool Afternoon

    The entire class erupted in applause and it took Mrs. Muncy a few minutes to get us all calmed back down, even though she was smiling herself. Who doesn’t love the idea of getting out of school or work early? Plus, this wasn’t just something that could be ignored. You had to have water to run a school from the bathrooms to the cafeteria and cooking to the water fountains.Owen glanced over at me with a huge grin and a wink. I loved that grin. I loved that wink. I loved that I could see the gears turning and he was already looking forward to more time together at his house this afternoon. I hope he remembered that Nate was part of those plans but I’m sure he did. He was just happy to have more time out of school with me. With practice also canceled, that meant we really wouldn’t have to leave once we got back in. I was so hoping to persuade him to go swimming because that pool had been calling to me since the moment I saw it while driving up that first night. Plus, the heat index was su

  • Whispers of the Heart   All is Fair in Love and War

    My cell alarm sounded at six the next morning and as I reached for it, I realized two things. One, I didn’t think I had ever slept that well in my entire life. Two, I was still in Owen’s arms and hadn’t left his bed last night. For a brief second I panicked but realized that Nate would have come looking for me if he had woken up in the middle of the night.Owen opened one eye, gave me a half smile and a kiss on the forehead before rolling over, mumbling something to the effect that he had his own alarm and he would see me later. I couldn’t help but giggle as I climbed out of his bed and left him to go back to sleep. I hope he knew what he was talking about and did have his alarm set. If not, I’d find out when I was waking him last minute and he was scrambling around, in a hurry to not be late.Back inside the room I was supposed to have stayed in last night, Nate was sound asleep, cheek flat down on the mattress and didn’t look at all disturbed during the night. I gathered my outfit fo

  • Whispers of the Heart   Learning the Truth

    I gasped. “Oh my God. What did you say?”“I asked him to repeat himself and he did. He even laughed about it, taunting me. He wanted me to get mad and throw a punch or something but I managed to hold it together. He then went on to say that she was a good lay and that everyone on the team had a taste of her at one time or another. Then, he runs back and gets back in position and just leaves me there with those words running through my head.”“That’s disgusting.”“Yep, disgusting isn’t the word for it, really. But as you can imagine, he gets in my head. Bad. Like there’s no shaking it. I want to hit something, I want to scream. I want to march off of the field right then and there. March right over to the sidelines, where she is cheering for their team by the way, and confront her but I can’t. Gary asks me what is going on after I throw away the next two downs and we are forced to punt. As we are going off the field, the coach is yelling at me but nothing registers. Gary pulls me aside

  • Whispers of the Heart   His Past

    “Have you had sex with anyone else before?”We were currently laying in the bed and my back was to his front, with him snuggling against me as we talked. He didn’t answer immediately so I scooted forward and sat up in the bed, turning to him. He couldn't make eye contact with me, another sign that I was not going to like what I was about to hear.“I will not lie to you but I need to know that you will be okay with hearing this. I don’t want to lose you over this.”My heart sank but I was the one that asked, the one that wanted to know. I didn’t want something from his past to later blindside me so I felt I deserved to know everything now.“Owen, you won’t lose me over something you did in the past. Just like I can’t change who my mother was, you cannot change things you have done in the past that you may now regret. Neither of us can. But it’s something that I don’t want to be this big elephant in the room between us or something that could potentially cause problems later because I do

  • Whispers of the Heart   Nate is Moody

    He grumbled, he complained, he pouted but in the end when he saw that I was not going to change my mind, he climbed out of the foam pit, standing there with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face. It was one of the rare times to bring out the ‘Mom’ version of Aurora as I bent down to his level and made him look me in the eyes.“Nate, you don’t want to ruin your fun time this evening by being mad that we have to stop now. Owen has been good enough to let you come down here and play but if this is how you will act every time it is over, I am not gonna be so ready to let you come back again. I know it is fun and you want to keep playing but it is almost your bedtime. We will have to get our bath and read your bedtime story. All of that takes time and you don’t want to be grumpy and sleepy at school tomorrow. Now, tell Owen ‘thank you’ for letting you play tonight and let’s get upstairs and get ready to take a bath before you get in trouble and can’t come back tomorrow.”“Thank you, Owen

  • Whispers of the Heart   Every Kid's Dream

    “WOW!” was all I heard from Nate before he tore into the room with a giggle. Owen reached for me and pulled me to him, giving me a very sound kiss that completely distracted me from even looking and seeing what had Nate so excited about.Once Owen released me and I turned my attention back to the room itself, I was just as excited and elated as Nate was. The entire space was like any arcade or play place one would ever visit as a child on those very rare special occasions. The space of the entire room couldn’t have been any less than a thousand square feet. Wooden support beams were scattered throughout the space like typical reinforcements in a basement and it had the panel block ceilings like you would see in office buildings and hospitals with the big rectangle panel light panes. The walls were all painted a deep charcoal gray with light gray plush carpeting in part of the area and just solid concrete painted the same color in the other half.The carpeted area was more narrow but th

  • Whispers of the Heart   Dinner and a Tour

    Owen was right that Nate and I would both love the hibachi. From the experience to the food, everything was wonderful. Nate was completely infatuated and amazed by the entire experience and was telling me all about how he wanted to learn how to do that when he got bigger so Owen may have just helped create a monster because I now know where Nate will want to eat anytime I ask.Owen, being the gentleman, wouldn’t let me pay a dime on the meal, not even the tip. I had wanted to go by Phil’s house for more clothes and Owen was fine with it so he stopped there first.I explained to Nate on the way where his dad was and that his dad had told me this morning the reason he was so sick yesterday. Never having had a grandparent, Nate really didn’t even realize what that was or what he was really missing in his life by not having one, either. So, understandably, he wasn’t upset to find out that his grandmother had passed away because she was a stranger to him.He didn’t ask why we weren’t stayin
