Oh he’s smooth… I need to watch out for him…
Still, my heart does summersaults and I roll over onto my stomach, kicking my feet in the air before responding.
I guess today wasn’t so bad after all.

FRANK
Mindlessly, I scoop up the ice cream and eat it, barely tasting a thing.Jessica…
“Frank, my love, are you okay? You’re spilling your dessert, hunny.” I pause, scrolling through what Jessica has been doing all day, and glance up at the woman before me, holding in a sigh and putting my phone back into my pocket.God… I should have just canceled when she fucked up last night…
“I’m fine, Mommy,” I answer, switching my voice to be a bit sweeter, and sit up, tilting my head to the side when she smiles, blushing.Well… well.. looks like this one is rearing to go already. Maybe I can end this sooner than I thought.
“O-oh, that’s good,” she simpers, picking up her steak knife and going back to eating. I plop back in my chair, ready to put an end to this shit. I scoop up a bit of ice cream and tilt the spoon, causing some of it to fall onto my dress. She goes still, and her heart rate visibly quickens.
“Ooops!” I gasp, feigning innocence. “It seems I spilled something,” I pout, and she immediately drops her utensils, thrusts the chair back, and grabs a napkin.
“Oh dear! Let me help you, baby,” she scrambles to clean me up, but I pick up the knife and slam it down.
