Love Twitch
Fish Sticks
You are at the park and Tony is kicking a soccer ball around the grass area.
“Mommy Katrina is here,” Tony said.
“Give me the ball, and you can go play with her,” You said.
“Really?”
“Yeah go.”
“Yay!”
He gives you the ball and go over to Katrina and they start paling tag.
“Here early?” Jeremy asks.
“Yeah, got off of work earlier than normal,” You said.
“So your name is Abbs?”
“Abby.”
“Jeremy.
“Interesting”
“You knew that didn’t you?”
“Yeah.”
“Fan?”
“No I think Freestyle motor cross is stupid, but Uncle Johnny is Johnny Armstrong.”
“I see, if you think its stupid why live here?”
“It’s where I got my first job out of college. I hated the city so I moved closer and Tony like it around here better then LA anyways.”
“Oh that’s cool, you from LA like Johnny?”
“You don’t know much about Johnny if you think he is from LA.”
“He lived in LA since 2000”
“Ten years out of 29 years of life. He isn’t form there and neither am I?”
“Where are you from then?”
“Where are you from?”
“San Diego.”
“Berkeley.”
“Oh you are a northern?”
“Yeah I am”
Your phone rings you look at it and see it’s Johnny.
“What is it Locky?” You ask.
“Got to love that nickname. Now where are you? I want to see Tony,” Johnny said.
“We are at the park.”
“Ok, I’m coming.”
“Whatever, later.”
“Later.”
You hang up and Twitch looks at you.
“So his father isn’t with you guys again?” Jeremy asks.
“His father isn’t ever going to with us,” You said.
“Why?”
“He is a low life, her mother?”
“Didn’t want her, no boyfriend to spend time with.”
“Yeah, got better things to do.”
“And that is?”
“Taking care of Tony and keeping a roof over our heads. Being a single parent isn’t easy”
“Yeah that is the truth”
“Hey Twitch” Johnny said.
“Hey Johnny,” Jeremy said.
“Uncle Johnny, come play with us,” Tony said.
“What about Mommy?” Johnny said.
“Mommy is talking to him.”
“So what about if I need to talk to Mommy?”
“Come play with us, please Uncle Johnny.”
“Go play with them Johnny,” You said.
“No,” Johnny said.
You look at him and pull a pout.
“Abbs god fine I play tag with you guys, but in a bit since I got to talk to Twitch,” Johnny said.
“Who is Twitch?” Tony asks
“I am buddy,” Jeremy said.
“Oh I’m Tony.”
“I figure that out, Katrina told me.”
“I like her Mommy.”
“I like you too Tony,” Katrina said.
“Oh look the kids are better at…” Johnny said.
You hit Johnny over his head.
“What did we talk about last night Johnny?” You ask.
“Yeah yeah,” Johnny said.
“Mommy can we play with the ball?” Tony asks.
“Yeah be careful, don’t kick it to hard and hurt each other,” you said.
“Ok Abby,” Katrina said.
You smile and Katrina runs away with Tony.
“You mind keeping an eye on both of them while I go talk to Twitch,” Johnny asks.
“I thought you come here to play with Tony?” Jeremy asks.
“I got a call on my way over, and I need to talk to you now Twitch.”
“Ok calm down I figure you want this away from people?”
“Yeah come on.”
“Katrina can take Tony”
“No she can’t, he is a Berkeley kid, he got hidden power.” You said.
Johnny goes and you look and see Tony and Katrina kicking the ball around. You laugh seeing them trying to kick it right to each other but missing. You watch them for ten minutes then Johnny goes and tackles Tony to the ground.
“What were we talking about?” Jeremy asks.
“How I don’t have a boyfriend,” You said.
“So what do you do when you need sex?”
“Go up to Berkeley for the weekend and hookup with a dude over there.”
“Why?”
“I’m not going to see them in the morning and they understand it’s a onetime thing.”
“Don’t you want some to sleep with everyday?”
“Yeah, having a boyfriend is good, but I haven’t meet a good guy that will date me because I’m a mother.”
“I guess that makes sense, I see you later me and Katrina have to go.”
“Ok have fun.”
“Sure thing.”
“Katrina we got to go,” Jeremy said.
“Can we come back tomorrow?” Katrina asks.
“No, we need to talk when we get home.”
“I really like Tony daddy.”
“Katrina I’m sure we see them again we need to go home.”
“Ok Daddy.”
He picks her up and went away. Tony starts crying. You run to him and look at him.
“Johnny what did you do?” You ask.
“I kick the ball a little too high,” Johnny said.
“Idiot, come on honey let’s go and put some ice on that.”
“Ok Mommy.”
You pick him up and carried him to your car. You drove home and get ice and put it on Tony’s head.
“Does that help a little?” You ask.
“Yes mommy,” Tony said.
Johnny comes in and looks at you.
“Is he fine?” Johnny asks.
“Yeah he is fine,” You said.
Johnny sits down and looks at you.
“Tony and Katrina get along together,” Johnny said.
“Yeah, so wasn’t it just last night when you said he wasn’t ready?” You said.
“I haven’t seen the dude in two months, since the start of his divorce.”
“Johnny I’m not ready ok, we be in the kitchen Tony here are cartoons.”
“Ok mommy, I like Twitch,” Tony said.
You go in the kitchen and Johnny looks at you.
“Tony likes him. Jeremy likes Tony, and you like Jeremy. You like Katrina. Katrina likes you. Katrina and Tony like each other. You got a perfect family” Johnny said.
“Johnny I haven’t dealt with it ok? I’m trying to deal with it but it really hurts ok,” You said.
“Ricky was a stupid idiot.”
“I know, but I was with him for 8 years. I thought my son was the first of our kids. I was ready to get married to him.”
“Abby, give Jeremy a chance.”
“Does he even want to go on a date with me?”
“Maybe, I don’t know, he got your number.”
“Johnny, why did you give him my number?”
“I kinda on accident did last night.”
“Urg Johnny.”
“I’m sorry I mean it.”
“Yeah yeah.”
You open the fridge and grab food out. You make dinner and eat it with Johnny and Tony. You help Tony with his homework and put him to bed. You are watching south Park when your phone rings. You look at it and don’t know the number but the area code id form around here so you answer it.
“Hello do you like Fish sticks?” You ask.
“Yes I like fish sticks Abby it’s Jeremy.”
“Do you like Fish dicks in your mouth?”
“Yes I like fish sticks in my mouth, Abby.”
“So are you a gay fish?”
You heard him laugh; you smile and mute the TV.
“That’s a funny joke, where you come up with it?” Jeremy asks.
“South Park, it’s a good episode,” You said.
“Oh I’m sorry for disturbing you during it.”
“It’s fine since I got them all on DVD anyways.”
“Ok, I had a lot funny talking to you.”
“Yeah I did too.”
“So you think on Friday we can grab breakfast?”
“Breakfast?”
“I leave for a trip on Friday, and I got meetings during the days while Katrina is at school making Friday morning the only time I got before I go, and making a date a month in advance isn’t something I want.”
“Sure sounds good when?”
“I drop Katrina off at School at seven. When do you drop Tony off, and what school does he go to?”
“Rancho Elementary.”
“The new one?”
“Yeah I guess I typical walk him there.”
“It’s pretty close to it then?”
“Yeah my car will be in my drive way, do you know the area?”
“Yeah, I know it, what street is it on?”
“It’s on Chalon Ct, it’s typical around 7: 20.”
“Ok, I will be at your house at 7: 30, and there is something I think we need to talk about.”
“The kids?”
“Yeah.”
“We won’t tell them innless it gets serious they don’t need to know if it’s nothing.”
“I was thinking the same thing.”
“Ok I see you on Friday.”
“Ok can’t wait so what’s the Address again?”
“I text you my address ok?”
“Ok bye Abby.”
“Bye Jeremy.”
You hang up and lock up. You smile and go and see it’s ten. You sigh and go upstairs and go to bed.
