“You spend way too much time with your ex”
Emma was startled for only a moment before it turned quickly to anger. Straight up angry, she gave a great big huff and quickly tugged at the diaper bag between them, pulling it just so, so while Jason put his hand in the bag to pull out the crackers his hand missed- Jason looked up frowning.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” she knew what it meant, she understood what he was saying and she felt her face betraying her as she felt her cheeks grew hot. But for him to say it so casually- why not just outright start a fight? “I do not spend a lot of time with him and let me remind you that Richie and me broke up over a year ago and nothing has made me want to get back-”
“Yeah but you slept with him,” Herbert replied cutting her off, the bitterness clearly there.
Emma sighed, “No, I don’t want to hear this-”
“Oh so you didn’t sleep with him? So you lie too?”
“No! No I just, yes I slept with him but it doesn’t mean anything. I’ve already told you-”
“I just don’t understand why you have to hang out with him at all? Was eating pizza with him really that important? While Ben was sick? You just dropped him off at my house,” Jason said, his voice rising.
“Okay first off Ben just had a stuffy nose which isn’t being sick- I just wanted to have some time alone and I already thanked you for taking them-”
“It’s no problem, I just don’t understand why you have to spend your time alone with him.”
Emma frowned. “I can do what I want Herbert, remember that you just came back into my and our sons lives and you can’t just dictate-”
“Okay great, I don’t want to hear this-” Jason said, getting up and began walking away from the bench.
As he started walking away Emma shouted, “We aren’t even together Jason! Stop acting like it-”
Ben ran up to Emma at that moment and looked between Emma and Jason that was walking away which made Jason stop. “Where is daddy going?”
