Relative Difficulties (by Red Ranger 1) - comments

REALLY enjoying this fic, especially ….

 .“I was talking to Peter the other day,”she admitted at last,“About parent/teacher night.”

“Are you gonna have to give him a bad report?”

“Not really.I mean, he’s hardly the best student I’ve ever had but he’s not bad.It’s more the fact that I’m having to do it at all.Speak to his mum.”

Romeo looked at her blankly.“Why?”

Ruby rolled her eyes.“Come on, Romeo, first time I met her I accused her husband of raping my mum.”

 Xavier kept a close eye on Pammy, who was standing in the sand in front of him.Standing, he had to admit, wasn’t quite the right word.Tottering might be more accurate.She kept transferring her weight from one foot to the other, never really seeming comfortable with either and looking as though she was going to fall over at any minute, hence his having both his arms ready to catch her just in case.

 “Well, unlike you, I don’t mind doing it in my underwear.”Xavier pulled his shirt off so he was just standing in his shorts.“See?Instant surfie.”

Mink seemed to take a step back.“Look, can you just let me do this?”she asked, sounding slightly irritated.

Xavier was puzzled by her sudden change in mood.“What’s wrong?”

Mink glared at him angrily.“Look, I’m doing this for me, okay?”she snapped,“I’m not interested in your buddy games.”

She stormed off towards the water.Xavier was forced to reflect that what she’d said was true:For someone without a speen, she did a good job of venting one.

 “You didn’t find yourself getting…you know, a bit hot when you were around her?Especially when she didn’t have much on?”

Romeo could see Mink colour slightly and had a feeling he was doing the same.“Yeah, that too. Mink, what’s all this about?”

Mink swallowed hard.“I think I love someone.”

Romeo smiled at her.“Mink, that’s great!”

“No, it’s really not.”

“Well, I know you like being a loner but…”

“No, it’s not that.It’s Xavier.”

Romeo stopped and stared at her.“Xavier?”

“Yeah.”Mink sighed.“I fall in love and it’s with a married man.Typical me, huh?”

Oh dear so Mink is interested in Xavier. That will cause some fireworks if it turns out Xavier feels the same way about her, and acts upon it.

Sasha's "No, Ive been lucky so far." made me smile as did Heath's "What, youre gonna chuck a brother out on the street? Have me sleep on the beach and then the tide comes in and I drown?" Liked this chapter but can't help get the feeling that Heath could possibly stir things up in the Austin household. Things could get interesting, then again I could be barking up the wrong tree...Liked the Mink and Romeo talk, but not so sure she'll stick to her word.

Update soon

Felt abit sorry for Mink in this chapter. Wonder if she will manage to stay away from Xavier, I doubt it though their paths are bound to cross sooner or later. Quite a shock with Heath turning up at the end there I wonder what sort of trouble he will end up causing.

Look Forward to more.

REALLY enjoying this fic, especially …..

“What, gonna break up a marriage?”Mink shrugged.“I’m tempted, don’t get me wrong.I mean, I reckon Xav and I would make a cute couple.”She saw Romeo’s stricken look and smiled.“Relax, little brother.He’s got a wife and kid.I know it’s been hard on Brixx growing up without a dad, be harder still when he goes to school and has to listen to all the other kids talking about their dads.I wouldn’t want that for Pammy.”

Romeo relaxed slightly.“So what are you going to do?”

“I dunno, try and avoid him, I guess.Hope I can make myself stop thinking like this.”

“Well, it won’t be easy, but I think that’s for the best.”

“Yeah, I know.”Mink sighed.“God, being responsible sucks.”

Xavier considered the question.“Have you seen Mink today?”

“No, I’ve been lucky so far.”Sasha saw Xavier scowl and realised she’d gone too far.“No, we haven’t,”she replied in a more reasonable tone of voice.

“But…”Indi remembered the incident Ruby had reminded her of, when Mink and Dexter had arranged for them to meet on the beach and talk over their problems.Then she remembered:It wasn’t April.It was after their daughter, Jane, had been stillborn.She wondered if Ruby had been trying to spare her feelings.“

Rocked up in Mangrove River first but they don’t have as nice seats.”He shifted slightly on the couch, as though checking the padding.

“I don’t know.But you’ve got Mink, we’ve got the Braxtons.At least let him stay here until I’ve rung Dexter and found out what’s going on.”

Xavier glared at Heath.“Okay.But you sleep on the couch.I’m not chucking Pammy out of her room.”

Heath gave a mocking salute.“You’re a regular Good Samaritan, blondie.”
