I weave“ hi mom”
she did a double-take. “ Oh, sweetheart what are you doing here? Why didn’t you tell us you were coming to visit?”
I sighed “ Mom, can I get in the house first” “. Oh yes, yes, come in “ she did a double-take when she saw me taking two suitcases inside the house.” Kevin, come look, who’s home. I heard my father coming “ oh sweetie what are you doing here?”
I went to the kitchen, sat there, and started crying. I guess the adrenaline is wearing off every time I open my mouth, more tears rush down my face. My father grabbed a chair closer and held me while my mom was making some tea. After she was done, “ take your time sweetie, tell us what happened. “ I was thinking about where I should start. Uh, I took a deep breath.
“ He cheated on me. I found him in the shower with the woman. “
“ Tell me you give him a piece of your mind before you leave, “ said my father.
I would laugh if he only knew only so I told them what I did. I wasn’t expecting them to react the way they are right now, laughing with tears running down their faces. I was shocked, but then again, I know my parents don't take crap from anyone.
“ I need to stay here until I can get back on my feet.”
" Oh sweetie, you are welcome to stay here anytime you want, since the guest house is still empty you can stay there to have your privacy. “
I hugged them. “ Thanks. It's until I can get everything together. “
“ Don’t worry about it, have you talked to your sisters yet?”
I’ve dreaded the moment my sisters find out I moved back with my parents. I don’t want them to judge me. I love them. It's just they didn’t like me moving to Boston. “ No I haven’t called them, I’ll do it later this week”, grabbing one of my suitcases to the guest house with my father following close behind “ thank you I’m going to shower and head to bed. I’ll see you guys tomorrow”.
“ Good night sweetie “, he kissed my cheek and went back to my mother.
I fell on the bed thinking about how my life changed in one instance. I closed my eyes for a minute. The next time I opened them the sun was shining through my window. Oh crap, guess my body was more tired than I thought. I got up and went into the bathroom to get my day started with a nice relaxing bath. The next thing I knew, a loud noise got me jumping out of the tub, grabbing my robe to see what was going on.
when I got into the living room, I saw my mother at the door. “ Mom, you almost gave me a heart attack. “ placing my hand over my chest.
I moved out of the way for her to get in. “ Sorry dear I’ve been knocking for the past 5 mins “
“I was taking a bath. I guess I fell asleep. I’m still tired from all that happened yesterday “
“ I would think. Why don’t you come over to have breakfast with your father and me and just relax today?”
I closed my eyes and said, “ That sounds good mom, but I got to go find a job and replace some of my stuff “. My mother got up to leave. “ Well, come have breakfast with us and we will figure out everything else”.
I went to put on my comfortable clothes and head over to my parents. As I walked into the house, the smell of bacon hit my nose. I made a beeline for the kitchen where I found a pile of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Without asking, I grabbed a plate and started filling it up.
“ I see you didn’t wait to be at the table, “ my father said, walking into the kitchen.
“ How could I? When this amazing breakfast was waiting for me, where’s mom?”
He grabs a piece of bacon. “ She is on the phone with your sister. “
I stopped with a piece of bacon hanging in my mouth. “ Please tell me she didn’t tell them I moved back in “, with my head hanging low, I walked out with a plate of food. I know my mother and that woman can’t keep a secret for long. Knowing this, I immediately lost my appetizer when I remembered who was on the phone with my mother. I knew my mother had invited them over. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve missed my sisters and their family, but I just feel like they will judge me for the choice I made.
With a sign, I finished my breakfast as I was putting the dishes back. A thought came to mind. Now I got time to open the bakery that I’ve always wanted to. Paul liked to say “baking is just a hobby. Why waste your time”? It’s more than that. For me, when I’m baking it’s like the world disappearing, it's just me and whatever I’m baking.
