me. It hurt. God knows I love my son, but right now he letting me down badly.

    I hear a noise in the bedroom and remember that Melissa still in there. The last thing I need now is any more complication. I’m going to tell her to go home, I have my son to see to. I have two companies to send my CV to and some phone calls to make. Even though I get tired of hearing the same message, ‘Sorry we’re not hiring at the moment Mr Spencer,’ I have to keep trying. Maybe one day when I phone somebody just drop dead and they need a replacement straight away. I need to make some money fast.
    I know part of the trouble for Darron is that he don’t like living here. I had to give up the big three bedroom house we had when the money stop coming in. Look at what savings I had and cut my suit according to my cloth, as mama used to say. This two bedroom place not going to be big enough for when Derrick and Marcie come in the summer holidays. At this rate I don’t even know if I can afford for them to come. Can’t see how I’m going to afford the plane fare, before I even think about food and things for them to do.
    I feel like God put a heavy rock on my back. It’s weighing me down, pressing me into the ground. If I don’t take Marcie this holiday Jeanette just going to use it as one more thing for the divorce, and Icilda will have me up in court for child support. And Darron’s school fees due again September.
    I hear the noise in the bedroom again. I stop staring into space and go to find Melissa. She in the shower.
    ‘You find your clothes?’
    ‘Yes by the side of the bed.’
    I lean on the wall and watch her soap her body. Watch her spread the soap round in slow circles and feel my rod getting stiff. I only have an hour to get to Darron’s school. I don’t have time for this; but my head’s pounding, my cock’s throbbing, my skin feel like prickly heat. She bend over to pick up the soap. I see her round hole and the crack at the top of her pussy.
    I take off my boxers, step into the shower with her, glide against her soapy back, slide into her from behind, her legs spread wide, water beating down on us. I start to move in and out when I remember the condom. The last thing I want now is another baby. I go to the cabinet but the mood gone. The thought of more children turn me off. ‘Sorry I have to shoot – appointment at Darron’s school.’ She look disappointed.
    ‘Look how you let me wet up my hair for nothing.’ Her thick head of single braids dripping water all down her back. I find her a towel and try to wrap it round her hair. I stop and let her do it. Memories of drying Jeanette’s locks too fresh in my head.
    ‘I’ll make it up to you.’ It sound like an apology.
    ‘When?’ she want to know.
    ‘Soon. You want some breakfast?’
    ‘Just some coffee.’
    I leave her to dress while I make the coffee and get ready while she drink it. By the time the two of us finish, it’s time to leave. I drop her at her house five minutes from me. She rent a room in somebody’s house. They work away a lot in the week so she mostly have the house to herself. She get lonely, that’s why she start coming my house. That’s what she say.
    When I meet her she was trying to reach a tin on the top shelf at the supermarket. I help her. We talk a little, she tell me where she live, I said drop by some time for a drink. Exchange numbers. I ignore all her texts asking if I was in, could she come over? One day she just turned up. That was three months ago.
    I drop her off and turn my attention to the school.
    I just pull off when I get a call from my sister. ‘Yeah Princess, I can’t talk now. I’m on my way to Darron’s school.’
    ‘Again? I keep telling you to send him up here. Grant, have you made a decision yet?’
    ‘I’m still thinking about it.’
    ‘Don’t you see that it would solve all your problems?’ She sound impatient, but these days she always sound impatient.
    ‘Listen, I’ll call you when I finish
