"I feel it's starting all over again," KC sighed about this game night Millie wanted him to plan. He found Rafe out recycling where they both lived.
"Why do you have to plan it?" Rafe squinted, looking at KC as if he were a whipped dog now living with Millie.
"Because, she has no time," He shrugged back, holding the bags of recyclables. "It was her mother's idea."
"Then she should do it," Rafe looked at him blankly. He and Ruby couldn't come because she could go into labor anything now. KC was OK with that, since they still didn't say anything to each other. Oddly, it was times like these that he got a word in with Rafe.
"Does Ruby know we even talk?" He felt she could carry a grudge about ex-boyfriends forever. KC didn't want that to happen to Rafe.
"You're pretty much a mute subject," Rafe smirked and took the recyclables from KC.
"I wish you could come over," KC told him. There were some new people that Millie worked with who would be there. "I hate entertaining."
"Oh, but you are an entertainer," Rafe teased. He reminded him how he used to always play his electric guitar in the living room and how all those middle schoolers would come by and watch him from the bay living room window.
"Ha!" He said he never noticed.
"You know, you'll help Millie," Rafe shrugged. "She's too sweet, not too."
"OK, but..but it's just going to be one game, not a bunch, and I want everyone to go home by ten." KC nodded as if it were a plan.
"You be the man, Millie needs you to be. Be fierce and don't have too many snacks. Like no pizza, for sure."
"So you know this from experience, do you?" KC tilted his head.
"You know, how Ruby is, go big or go home."
Rafe sighed. "She knows the money has to go for the little one now. We can't go to 5 Below every Friday. Besides, a lot of stuff is much more than five dollars. But she did find a lot of trivia games there. You want to borrow some?"
"Oh no. Nope. We'll make do with Apples and Oranges." KC winced. He needed to get back and vacuum since it was a promise to Millie.
very interesting post!
ReplyDeleteHello! When a baby is about to be born, there are many expenses involved, your financial life has to be completely rethought and there is really no room for unnecessary expenses. But a little fun now and then is also good, it's a moment of relaxation! But I'm sure that with a baby, they will fall in love with them! Thank you for your comments, Ellie, have a great week, hugs<333

Hola
ReplyDeleteUN bebé lo cambia todo. Las cuentas hay que llevarlas al día, los gastos se disparan. Pero la emociones hay que saber equilibrarlas porque el corazón se desboca.
Un saludo
"We can't go to 5 Below every Friday. Besides, a lot of stuff is much more than five dollars."...So relatable. I have so much to catch up on, Ellie, but great writing as always:) Oh the drama! :)
ReplyDeletePS Thanks so much for stopping by on my blog even though I know it's been so long since I've posted. Don't know if I'll be doing it regularly like before, but we'll see. And thanks for the update on what you've been watching! I just finished The Glory with Song Hye-Kyo and that was sooooo great! And thanks for the warning about Law and the City:)
A baby completely changes our lives, both logistically and financially, but it also brings immense joy.
ReplyDeleteLiving together is always complicated
ReplyDeleteA baby will make changes, is not it? nice chapter and great imagination.
ReplyDeleteŚwietny tytuł rozdziału. Bardzo mi się podoba. Nowe życie i związek nigdy nie są łatwe. Ze wszystkim trzeba się oswoić. Okres przed porodem też nie jest najłatwiejszy dla kobiety. Ma dużo obaw. Pamiętam ten czas dokładnie.
