Toxic Mistress

8

Today I decided to visit my mom.

My mom and I had a simple relationship, we called each other every once in awhile to check in but she didn't hover and I loved that.

"Hey momma" I walked in her bedroom and he was sitting there reading "Hey hun, I didn't expect you to be here" I hugged her "How's everything? I shrugged "You know busy with work like always but I just wanted to check up on you"
"You know me, sitting here waiting for grandchildren" I laughed throwing my head back "Mom don't start that"
"Look at me, I'm bored and old and want grandchildren to spoil" I sighed "Well don't hold your breath"
"Oh I'm not crazy, I might die holding my breath waiting for you to have kids" I gasped and she looked unbothered "Don't do that, you know you can't keep a good man"
"I can keep a man" she looked at me with a straight face "Yet I've meet no one, you sure your not into girls"
"Mom!" She held her hands up "Hey Im just asking"
"No I'm not into girls" she shrugged "I will support you no matter what" I groaned and she laughed, one thing my mom will do is speak her mind no matter what.

"What's wrong?" She asked and I sighed "The man you conceived with keeps trying to get in contact with me" she sighed "do you feel like you ready to make that step again?" I shook my head "Absolutely not, it sucks because I wanted that dad and daughter relationship but I can't mend anything with him anymore"
"I don't regret you but if I could have had you with another man then I would of in a heartbeat" And I didn't blame her, I wish she had me with a different man everyday "I just thought he would change"
"That man doesn't change" it sucks i had to learn that the hard way"but if you want to give him another chance I'll always support you...we're all still family whether we like it or not" I loved my mom, she was such a kind hearted woman so the fact that she fell in love with a man like him confused the hell out of me.

I heard the front door open and close downstairs "MOM!" I heard an all too familiar voice yell and I looked towards my mom who look all nonchalant "You should have told me they were coming" I said getting off the bed
"Why don't you talk to your sisters Nic?" I groaned "Cause they don't do nothing but ask for money" Yes I have 2 sisters and we don't talk because they ask me for money all the time, they have gone as far as asking my mom for some of her retirement money while she's in her retirement "MOM!"
"We're in here" and they walked right on in, the smile on their faces fell rightfully sow "mhmmm I was just leaving" I said before walking past them " bitch" I heard one of them whisper "Oh so I'm a bitch now, but I bet if you needed some money I wouldn't be" I turned around quickly
"We don't need your petty change"

"The petty change y'all wish y'all had" they both scoffed "Weren't you leaving?" Clarissa said which was my oldest sister, I rolled my eyes "Nicole don't leave, I just want to spend time with my daughters and it's ridiculous that you guys can't be in the same room together"
"No mom let her leave like she always does okay" Asia said which was my younger sister that had a lot of never. I took a deep breath pinching the bridge of nose before finally deciding to air it all out "You know what let's just do this now" I walked past them sitting on my moms bed looking at them.

"You guys have always been jealous of me and I could never figure out why, I've always acted like the big sister and I was always so giving to y'all but it was never enough for any of you and now I'm the bitch? Even after I tried to support you
by giving y'all that loan you guys begged me for just for you guys to stab me in the back and run off with the money... So then the question is where is my money?" They both just looked at me stupid "You gave us that money"
"I loaned you that money and you know that shit, y'all stole from me and that's just the bottom line" the crossed their arms clearly with an attitude but clearly they didn't have anything to say.
