CHAPTER 38

“If I make you smile, what would I get?”

“A pillow and a blanket to sleep on the floor.”

“Ouch, baby, come on, it is no big deal.”

God! I was going to lose it!

It all started with Robbie using my bum as his pillow. I was correcting the class test answer papers, groaning occasionally, spotting the same mistakes I had screamed at my students not to make.

“Robbie!”

“Whaaat?

“Let that go.”

“No, it is squishy.” He gave my butt cheek a huge smack.

“OOW, it hurt, bastard.”

“I kiss it better.”

“Stop it! I have work to finish. I am busy.”

I shouldn’t have said that. Robbie hated my being busy, especially if it involved ignoring him. I did not stand a chance. And I did not mind until I saw a big spot on one of the student’s answer sheet.

What did the bastard say? “It will dry, Angel.”

That was wrong in so many levels. Long story short, now, I was on verge of complete breakdown.
