Chapter Fifteen I felt horrible about kicking out Ted last night, then not returning his calls. He’d left three of them, each increasingly desperate. I knew that my temper got the best of me sometimes, and he had a right to question the origins of my pregnancy. I hadn’t explained it very well, and it… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma; chapter fourteen, part two
Chapter Fourteen; Part Two I handed Ted a cup of coffee before taking one myself. I sat across from him in a chair as I was in a strange mood. Skittish, I’d say. Not because we’d had sex already, but because my body was changing. I knew it wouldn’t be long before I had to… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma; chapter fourteen, part one
Chapter Fourteen; Part One “Hello? Is this Margaret Wang?” A British voice filtered through my cell phone, causing me to perk up. It was Wednesday night, and I’d just been ready to turn on the television to watch a little sports when the phone rang. “Yes, it is. Is this Alan Rickman?” My heart beat… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma; chapter thirteen, part two
Chapter Thirteen; Part Two “Ned, what am I going to do?” I asked softly. I didn’t mind being vulnerable with Ned because I knew he’d never take advantage of what I perceived as my weakness. “I have to keep Morningstar away from me. I can’t resist him forever.” There. It was out. My dastardly attraction… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma; chapter thirteen, part one
Chapter Thirteen; Part One “Where are you? Are you still with Ted? Call me.” “OK, now I know you’re not still with your boy. Call me!” I laughed as I erased Ned’s messages, each increasingly agitated. I had no idea why he took such an interest in my love life when his was infinitely more… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma; chapter twelve, part two
Chapter Twelve; Part Two “Margaret, I’m glad you found my place all right.” Ted’s voice trailed off as he opened the door to his Kenwood home. His eyes widened when he caught sight of what I was wearing. “Are you going to invite me in?” I asked demurely, slipping my wrap off my shoulders and… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma; chapter twelve, part one
Chapter Twelve; Part One “Liz! What are you doing here?” It was Friday night, and my sister had shown up unexpectedly. Again, she got into the building without me buzzing her up. This was happening more frequently than I liked; I reluctantly decided to call the landlord first thing Monday morning during my prep hour… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma; chapter eleven
Chapter Eleven “Delivery for Margaret Wang.” This was getting to be a regular occurrence. I had just gotten home from work Monday night and had been about to check my messages when my buzzer rang. “I’ll be right down.” I hurried downstairs and peeked at a delivery guy who was holding yet another bouquet of… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma; chapter ten, part one
Chapter Ten; Part One “We must first fill the room with incense.” Wind had been gracious enough to come over that night in answer to my urgent plea. I knew that I had to seal that damn portal, no matter how much I wanted to remain connected to Lucifer. “We need to chase the bad… Continue Reading
Vacation, had to get away
Hello! I am going to Malta this week, so there will be no posts. I hope to come back invigorated and rededicated to blogging after a week of sun, good eating, and relaxation (I hope!), so see you then. Continue Reading
