We wait for her by the exit, in the alley and I try hard to not let my impatience get the best of me. It’s been raining and Mason happily plays in one of the puddles, singing to himself.
He looks so much like me but his eyes and the gentleness in him is all Amber. My chest stirs because he and she hold my heart in their palms. Amber in her musical, delicate ones and Mason in his tiny ones.
I love my family fiercely. Unapologetically.
And I’m fully aware of just how lucky I am.
If only Amber would come out... How long has she been in there? Sometimes fans greet her afterwards and we’ve decided that it’s best that I stay away during that time for my own sanity. And Amber’s.
But when unpleasant thoughts about others standing too close to her, able to smell the scent of her skin, I brush my neck in agitation, a sneer covering my face. Pacing back and forth, with my long, black coat I probably look like a bat, lying in wait for his butterfly.
Mason notices, looking up and I force the sneer to go away, winking at him instead. He bursts out into little chuckles, blissfully unware of the never-ending obsession his father has for his mother.
His mother who’s very late...
Amber doesn’t even get the chance to step out on the cobble stone street, before I have scooped her up in my arms and planted a violent kiss on her mouth. At first she protests in surprise, before giving in. She always gives in, in the end.
“What took you so long?” I rasp with curved brows and her lips pull into a smile. “Mason and I were ready to barge inside and drag you right out.”
“Not Masey. Only daddy...” Mason chippers casually, making Amber laugh. She looks happy, as happy as a wife of mine should look.
“I didn’t take long. You just can’t stand being apart from me.”
“True,” I growl because she’s not wrong. How can I be apart from her when she’s not my sun but my moon. When everything’s dark, she still brings the light.
Our mouths meet, not separating until Mason tugs at our clothes. Taking his hands, we walk with him in between us down the alley and then we go home.
The End
