Falling Before We Started

💞 Chapter Seven 💞

Mercy's POV

Wow what a blissful morning it is?

I hanged out with the boy everyone is trying to patch me up to.

Well he is fun to be around,handsome and maybe dreaming. but I think he's really getting into me.

He looks like someone who is crushing on me.

Absolutely, it's obvious he is.

Its not like i have any super power that could detect when a guy is into me or something?...but seriously who am i kidding, Jason is totally into me.

"Welcome back home madam" Mom said bring me out of my world. The moment i step into the house. With the way Mom is looking at me, I'm sure my face is really giving me out right now. But who cares? Am happy and excited at the same time if i can say that. Yep! I cheer mentally screaming in my head.

Mom eyed me suspiciously. I gave her an awkward silly goofy smile and bring my head down to avoid her glare.

I coughed awkwardly as i decided to speak up.

"Dad asked me to come home..." I manage to say.

We had a heated argument this morning and i know with all my six senses that we shouldn't be in good terms....well maybe not right now.

I feel like hugging her and am going to do it anyway, after all a hug can cure way more than you can ever expect when its come to my parents.

You just need a little emotional drama here and drawing of long faces there that has to show that you feel sorry and before you know everything will be Bygones.

"Why did you leave the house without informing anyone?" Mom asked me.

"Raise up your head and answer my question if you want this to go easy for you" she said strictly after I was unable to answer her.

"Am sorry for going out without informing you" I said pretending to feel sorry.

"You can't fool me young lady. If you are sorry you wouldn't walk into this house with that expression on your face —" I have to go a little esteem if i want her to let go of this issue, hugging her unexpectedly is not going to work.

I stated mentally.

None uh...it won't work.

I have to cry, yes cry my eyes out and blame it on period even though I'm perfectly fine.

" —tell me who is that boy that dropped you off ?" She asked cutting me off. I looked up at her shocked, seriously I wasn't expecting that. And she will go psycho if she knew it was Jason.

'More problem, way too much problem' my inner devil says.

" stop looking like that and speak up" she said losing up a little and walking over to the dinner to take a sit. I followed her behind feeling like a sorry lost puppy.

She gestured me to sit opposite her and i did obediently.

" Now tell me, who that boy is before i start jumping into conclusions" she said raising a brow as i become more confused and keeps staring at her.

'Gosh!! I feel so stupid right now why can't i talk rather than doing nothing except staring at her like an idiot'

"Talk nah Mercy,shey emi mo pa ni?"
She asked me in Yoruba if she will kill me. and I shook my head in reply.

She began losing patience with me.

"Soro fun mi nah" she said tapping the table. I swallow a big invincible lump down my throat.
