Chapter 7 There’s no one in there!
“Uhh, whisper?“ I mumbled, turning back to my room, and then back at my mother. I forced out a smile.
“I wasn't whispering, I was watching a movie and then I slept off, is there a problem?“ I cracked my throat. She looked at me in a suspicious manner.
“No there's no problem, I noticed your lamp was still on, and I thought you might be finding it difficult to sleep due to what Blake did to you,” My mother mumbled. I rolled my eyes. I was beginning to get fed up from the sound of that bastard's name, And the last thing I would want to feel bad about, was Blake leaving me for his ex girlfriend, in fact, that was the best thing he had ever done for me, to hell! with his ex.
I turned back to my room again, then back at her. Why was I constantly turning to my room, as if Mr Mattias was a child who could just dumbly walk out from his hiding position, I mean bathroom. Shimma! Get it together!
“Is everything alright?“ My mother asked, looking over my shoulders, straight at my room. I guess I had made it obvious. And the fact that I stood at my door, blocking her from entering also made things look more suspicious.
“Yes, why? Why do you ask?“ I asked, bringing her attention back to me.
“You've been looking back at your room like someone is hiding in there, is it Blake?“ My mother asked, her eyes lit open in curiosity. God! I felt so sick. I couldn't believe she would think I can forgive Blake if he ever thought of coming back, how could she think so low of me? Gosh! I felt so disgusted.
“Mum, stop! I have had enough of hearing Blakes name from you tonight, and I'm not hiding anyone, you can come check yourself” what did I just say.
“I'm sorry if I made you mad honey, I just don't want you to feel bad, I don't want you and Blake's breakup to affect you in any type of way. I know how long you guys have been together, and I was hoping he was going to propose sooner, but…he also broke my heart, I can't believe Blake would do such a thing to you, to us!“ My mother said, her voice trembling. Was she about to cry?
“Mum, are you about to cry?“ I asked my brows furrowed.
“What! no!,” she smiled, but I could manage to see her eyeball already wet from tears. She was about to cry.
“I know right, Blake is such a jerk for fooling us all along, but I'm trying to get over him, I'm doing things that would take my mind off him, like watching TV, and other stuff,” I lied. She smiled and her eyes held amusement.
“That's great, cheer up, and be excited for your new job, I believe that will also get your mind busy,” Wait! I got the job?! I could hear myself scream.
“Okay mum,” I said, holding in my excitement. even if I wanted to jump and scream and run around the whole place, excited that I would get to see my Mr Mattias everyday. I still had to comport myself.
“All right coffee bean, I'll head back to my room, and please, do not stay up late, you're having your final exams next week and I don't want you feeling stressed from lack of sleep, you're my diamond and your father's precious jewel, do not Let Blake make you feel bad about yourself, or make you feel unloved, know that your parents love arr bigger,” My mother said, At Least this was the best thing I have heard from her concerning I and Blake's breakup.
“I love you,” she said.
“I love you more mum,” I bent for her to plant a kiss on my forehead.
“Good night,” she said and then I watched her take her leave. A sigh of relief escaped my lips, when I closed the door, as I pressed my back against the door, I watched the bathroom door open and Mr Mattias walked out of it. The sight of his body immediately got me turned on again. But his expression….
