lips. It was not the first time they had been caught, but she did not need Rick to distract her tonight, so she was thankful for the interruption. His lips made her brain fuzzy and thinking was hard to do when he was near.
     

Chapter 6
    “I can’t wait to get back to my old school. I'm going to call Jake after dinner and tell him the good news.”
    Meeka wished her son hadn’t said anything in front of Rick, especially since she had not told him about it yet. She could see the surprise in his eyes and she groaned to herself. He opened his mouth to say something and then shut it with a soured look on his face. She knew what that meant. It meant that they would get into it that night while the children were asleep. Meeka agreed that they didn’t need to argue in front of the kids, but she hated how he shut down almost immediately.
    “So how was your day, Meeka?”
    “Pretty good. Took Carter to the park and did a little shopping, had some lunch.”
    “Oh, where did you have lunch at?”
    “At Mack’s. I hadn’t been over there in forever.”
    “Is that in the old part of town?”
    “Yeah, where we used to live.”
    Again, Rick wanted to say more, but he did not think that this was the best time. Meeka was feeling a little guilt about not telling him about seeing Johnny, but she knew that he would overreact, so she didn’t bring it up. Rick was a sweet guy, but he was a jealous guy and nothing good would come from it. She assured herself that it was all innocent, to calm her ill feelings.
    The rest of dinner was dominated by Malik. He had not been so excited since he had seen the pool when they first moved in. Meeka glanced over at Rick and could see his jaw tightening with each word. Dessert was served and Rick started to look a little happier when he saw the chocolate cake. She would admit that she made his favorite dessert to take his mind off of other things and she was never so thankful before. His demeanor changed and he was far more relaxed by the time the kids were in bed.
    “So when were you going to tell me about Malik changing schools?”
    “Well you know he hates it over at that private school and it's not getting any better.”
    “Don’t you think he should learn to deal with things, instead of you coming in to save him all the time?”
    “Rick, he is eight. I wonder if you’d feel the same way if it was Carter.”
    She regretted it as soon as she said it, although it could not be taken back. Rick had always treated Malik well.
    “That's unfair, Meeka. If it was Carter, I would want him to deal with it as well. He will be going to the same school. Do you really want him to go to a different school than his brother? I'm just more surprised that you didn't tell me about it before you agreed to pull him out. I thought we were supposed to make decisions together?”
    Meeka smiled to herself, though it was not one full of happiness. It was a look full of irony and aggravation.
    “Oh, like you bringing home two recruiters from a California hospital? I mean, when were you going to tell me about that?”
    There was triumph in her face as it hit him. Of course she was just blocking the question and yes, she should have spoken with him about it, but after he had did that, she felt justified in her own actions.
    “That is not the same.”
    “Really? So moving MY son out of an uppity school that he doesn’t like is wrong, but you planning to move us across the country and away from everything that we know, all of our family, is perfectly okay. Right?”
    Rick sighed to himself. It was kind of funny to him because he was going to tell her as a surprise if he got the job and didn’t want to mention it in case he did not. He thought that she would be thrilled to get a bigger house, better schools and nicer cars, but she was already trying to go back. When he saw it from her point of view, it did seem a bit different. He started to agree that maybe he was being a bit presumptuous, but Rick thought she was
