Pretty Fish Tales-1
Walking through the aquarium, Genesis was finding it hard not to respond to Egan’s enthusiasm. While she was still pissed off at Kiefer for the way he was trying to manipulate her into feelings she didn’t want to have, Egan’s excitement at the animals they were going to see was contagious.
Yet she couldn’t shake the thoughts Kiefer put in her head.
It was one thing to say the things he said to her when it was them alone. To say them in front of Egan and to normalize the idea of her being in what she herself felt was a scandalous relationship with a pair of twins, was an entirely different thing altogether. It felt wicked and wrong, and it was also dancing around her brain like an ant on black asphalt in the dead of summer.
“Genesis, come join us,” Kiefer held his hand towards her as Egan’s face was pressed against a glass of a giant tank full of brightly colored fish.
“Mom! Look at the fish. Jerren said there are piranha around here too!”
She moved to stand next to Egan and he slid his hand into hers. “They’re very pretty, aren’t they.”
Nothing more beautiful,” Kiefer’s voice was warm in ner ear as he moved to stand behind her, his hands resting atop her shoulders,
She wanted to bat him off, but Egan was looking at them in the reflection of the glass. She tilted her hond a fraction, her mouth inches from Kiefer’s cheek, “stop touching me.”
He put his hands behind his back, and she didn’t miss the hurt in his expression.
“Egan, do you know, your mom and I went to the Caribbean and while we were there, we went swimming in the ocean. All kinds of these little fish, similar to these ones, came and swam around our legs. Your mom was giggling so much she almost peed in the water. I kept teasing her if she peed in the water all the fish would die. The more I teased her, the harder she laughed.”
“Is that true, Mom?”
“It is,” she felt her heart beating as she remembered the time when they’d gone south for their honeymoon.
“Did you pee in the water and kill the fish?”
“I did not but pee in the water wouldn’t kill fish, Egan. Where do you think the fish peo?”
His mouth was a perfect circle as he considered what she was saying, “I didn’t think of where the fish pee! Oh my gh, MoD68
