I called him but he didn’t pick up. After 20 minutes he called me back telling me that he was driving. I asked where he was going. He told me he was going to the airport. He was leaving for America for business related matters but mostly for personal reasons. With that said I thought of Angelica Paign. My heart was heavy. I had a strange pain in my heart. It felt like someone dearest to me was leaving. He requested we talk when he returned.

I shouldn’t have hesitated making the call. Now he’s leaving and I didn’t get the chance to thank him. I’ll just wait for him to come back and I’ll get to thank him. Roy and Hope were really getting on my nerves. Trying to make noise in order to disturb my conversation with Chris. They are so childish for their age. They are 15 but act as if they are 6 years old. I gently asked them not to do that again. They asked if I was talking to my boyfriend. I denied their accusations but they constantly shouted: “He’s your boyfriend he’s your boyfriend.”

I knew he isn’t my boyfriend I mean I don’t want a boyfriend. I just don’t know who Christopher Shelton is and what role he plays in my life. Mom came out of the room and shouted at them telling them to stop saying that. Mom then told us we were going to the mall today since it’s Saturday and she wasn’t working we could have family time. Actually she wanted us to buy clothes for our father’s wedding. Shopping went well. We bumped into my mother’s psychologist.

We had lunch together. While at it Rose passed by. She saw us and then came to us. She clearly wanted trouble cause that’s what she does every time she meets my mom. I can’t believe that mom once made her our godmother. It’s not that I hate her, I just don’t want to be in the same room with her. Being around her made me uncomfortable even before her relationship with Augustine.

She stood there for five minutes looking at my mother’s psychologist. Then she said ” Not bad Letty; I thought you’d be replacing my fiance with someone unattractive but this I didn’t see coming.” My mother smiled then said, “Good afternoon to you too Rose.” Rose stood silently. Mom then asked Rose to join us but she was waiting for my dad, but she joined us anyway. “Oh how rude of me; this is Rose my friend I’ve been telling you about Rose this is Dr Eddy my…” before she could finish her sentence Eddy said, “Bboyfriend; I’m her boyfriend,” shaking Rose’s hand

“That’s an upgrade Letty from a lawyer to a doctor; I envy you,” Rose said with a smile. Dad then came and greeted us, gave Hope and Roy a hug then they left. Mom asked me to take Roy and Hope to buy ice cream. I could tell that she wanted to have the talk. I saw how my mom was surprised; clearly she didn’t expect Dr. Eddy to say that. We went to buy ice cream when we returned I can’t believe my eyes. I saw mom and Dr Eddy kissing. It seemed romantic but gross. I mean that’s my mom. They stopped kissing when they saw us. Eddy took us home.

Mom had that glow. The one that said I’m in love. When we got home mom and Eddy remained outside and they talked for a while after that they hugged. We were looking at the window then Roy furiously said: No kissing just a hug.” We laughed, mom then came in smilling. I loved her smile. I asked her if I could make her coffee. She started pacing across the living area talking about Eddy. Saying that she didn’t know that Eddy was a full-time neurologist and a psychologist at his free time. And that it wouldn’t be wrong dating him. He’s a good kisser, he’s gentle and sweet with words. It was like she was thinking out loud.

My mother has fallen in love and that’s not a bad thing. I thought maybe a strong coffee would calm her down. I made her a cup of coffee. Roy and Hope were playing in their room. I gave her the coffee. She said it was exactly what she needed. Sat together to watch Twilight. She asked me if it wouldn’t be a bad thing if she dated Eddy. I told her there’s nothing wrong with being in love and personally I think they would make a great couple. After watching the saga we called it a night.
