No calls, nothing, just fantasies.

It's been two days now since we came back from the Philippines, I've been waiting for my princess to show up or even call but nothing. I'm just growing impatient and frustrated with each passing second.

We've never been that apart since we got together and it's killing me from the inside.
Today marks a week since I saw her last or heard from her.

I fucking miss her.

"Why do you look agitated son?" My mummy's voice startles me from my emotional wreckage.

She's standing against the dining room door her hair tie up in a messy ponytail making her look younger and with the apron tied around her waist makes her even more younger.

"Marriage agrees with you." I muse my lips twitching.

" What shows?" She folds her arms across her chest raising a brow amusedly.

" You're glowing, but then you've been glowing from before, but now at least you've added colour on your cheeks. If you know what I mean." I dance a brow dramatically.

" Am your mother Ballice! Stop being cheesy!" She scolds throwing me a kitchen towel that was hanging on her neck.

" It's true!" I shout dodging it and it falls on my plate. Good thing, I've just finished eating my delicious lunch which she prepared for me.

"Now answer me." She's now serious. "You look so bothered."

"I miss her." I answer without second thoughts.

" I know. " She whispers kinda sadly walking towards me. " But c'mon, her lips twitches up slightly. "It's just been, what that, uhmmm... A week?" She's now biting her lip trying not to smile as she takes a seat opposite mine at the table.

"Happy new year mommy!" I squeal brushing her off.

" You've already told me so, anyway happy new year to you too again!" She emphasizes on 'again';smiling broadly. " You know you should have joined the kids and your dad out instead of sitting here sulking all day."

" Join them in swinging, sliding or riding horses?"

She chuckles. " You could have enjoyed even just their company you know. It's fun. Anyway don't worry. We're camping out tonight, over there." She points towards the trees behind our pool. "We'll improvise karaoke stuff because we've mics and there'll be a big fire too." She smiles and I grin back.

" I love the sound of that. Who will we have with us?"

" Smith and Zila in addition. " She bats her eyelashes. "Here we have you, me, your dad, Lodzin and Bruce plus our maid Linda, she's back already. "

" Wow. " I breath.

" At least it will Help you stop thinking about your princess." I look at her weirdly and she starts laughing." You think I don't know how you call her."

"Can I ask you something mommy. " I prompt.

" Anything son. "

" You're a Filipino but you got blue eyes, touring quezon when I was there, I never met any filipino with blue eyes. " I've been wanting to ask her that.

" Right. " She chuckles. " My dad was an half-caste. Half british, half Filipino. "

" Ouuuh I get. " I nod.

" Did she tell you when she'll be coming back? "

" Who? "

" Your princess. " She mutters biting her lip again. Reminding me of her.
