It was the weekend that my mother was coming home. Matt kept looking at his watch to see when she would be here. We got a call from her that she would be arriving around 4 pm. She owns her jet and it would land in our court yard in the back of the manison. It was 3 pm. Only one hour left. Both me and Matt were watching a movie while waiting. Veronica is in the kitchen baking a cake. Father was coming home early today for her sake. Jeez not for us I bet.

On Monday soccer will start. Which means more fitness during P.E the P.E teacher lets us do what we want in the fitness area. Only if we actually do exercise else he will give us something to do. Bryson, Vincent and me do the exercise together. While we do exercise together we talk about soccer. We asked the coach if we could have the list for our first match. And it looks like it was Spain. The thing with this school is that they provide plane tickets for us to play other teams in the europe area and they provide a hotel for us. 

Matt checks his watch and tells me that it was 3:15. I made sure Veronica done both bathrooms. The living room vacuumed. I am incharge when my father and mother are working. I made sure that the windows were clean. The courtyard swept. As always she does a good job of cleaning. Me and Matt were watching 'Bring it on 2' we were watching well you can guess; The cheerleaders. I watch both the cheerleader boys and girl cheerleaders.

The clock in the living chimed when it was 4pm. A few minutes later we heard a jet coming towards our house, "Yay she is here!" Matt jumps off the couch. He is fourteen. He should grow up!

"Yes Matt she is here. Veronica?"

Veronica knew what I was asking and she follows me and Matt to the court yard. Mother's jet was landing just now. A few minutes later the jet landed and the door from the jet swung open and mother stept out. Matt ran up to her and she opens her arms for him. "Mother!" he says while running into her arms.

She wraps her arms around him, "Oh my dear Matt," she says with a tear running down her face. She must have missed us while being a the station. She looks up at me as I walk towards her, "hello Lucas my dear." she holds one of her arms out for me.

I walk over and gave her a big hug, "Hello there mother," I said politely to her.

She smiled at me with tears running down her face, "Missed you both so much," she hugs both of us tight.

"I missed you too mother," Matt says, "so did Lucas and father."

I hug her tight, "Yes mother it's been a long time since I last saw you."

Veronica walks over to say hi and get her bags. I let go of her. I did miss her alot when she was gone I realize it now. I told mother that I had to go to the bathroom. I walk away from her. Away from the courtyard. I didn't want her to see my sadness in my eyes. I been for so long hiding my feelings from how I really feel about my parents constantly working. It hurts to the point it's hard to breathe. I went to the bathroom to pee. While I wash my hand I watch my reflection in the mirror. What is happening to me? I suppose to be a guy who doesn't give a damn! I felt something break inside of me and I felt sadness rushing up from inside of me. I walk out of the bathroom and too my room. I didn't want to see anyone at this moment. I didn't want to show my sadness to someone who been gone so long it was her and father's fault that I feel this way. I lay on my bed and let the sadness from inside fall to the surface. I don't remember the last time my father and I had an actual conversation without us fighting or yelling at eachother. I pounded my pillow. I want to love someone. To hold someone till dawn. I want to know what it's like to be loved by someone. Something opened up inside of me for awhile and now these days I can't help but feel this way. I broke up with Lillian. I haven't seen Kyler since that party. Now I'm interested in Dylan. But how to get him to understand it without telling him? I wipe my eyes and sat up in bed. I'm not good with giving hints to somebody to understand that I like them. I noticed Dylan getting alittle thin.

I went back down stairs. Mother and Matt were both drinking tea in the living room. Chatting from what I guessed her job. I sat down next to mother and said no to Veronica when she offered me tea. Mother turned her blue eyes towards me. She looks at me and smiled, "You turned into a handsome son oh my. Do you have a girlfriend?"

Matt snorts and mother looks at him, "What is so amuzing?"

"Oh yeah he had a lot of girls but more to sleep with not in a relationship."

"Matt!" I shout, "shut it!" Matt shrugs and sips his tea.

My mother turns to me, "You need to learn to take better care of girls. And to have one girl at a time."

"Yes mother," I said simply with a hint of kindness.

It was 9 pm that I heard the door from the hallway slam. I didn't bother going down. I didn't want to see him. I didn't want to hear him talk about his day at work.

I heard father and mother and Matt talking downstairs. I heard them saying my name. You see the hallway can make people's voice echo. I heard them talking about mother's job and what she did in outerspace.

30 minutes later when I thought father wasn't going to come up to greet me I heard foot steps on the stairs. It was Matt I thought. My parents bedroom is downstairs.  Upstairs is my bedroom, Matt's bedroom, the maids bedroom and the two guests rooms.

There is a knock on the door. When I didn't answer it the door opens. I look up from the text book I was reading on the bed. I look at the face of my father's. He walks over the bed. Can I think that this is not a dream? Should I pinch myself? "Father?"

"Hello son," without asking me he sits on the edge of the bed. He was only 12 inches away from me, "listen I want to talk to you about what happened at the office?" Why is he bringing that up? "I don't want you to talk to me like that at the office ok?"

I look at him like his head just caught fire. I didn't answer him and look down at my sheets. They were nice sheets. Elegant sliky sheets. When you touch them it's like you are touching a soft kitty.

"Did you understand that?"

I nod my head, "If that is all you want to say to me then leave the room?" I say quietly.

"Yes that is all I wanted to say is there anything you want to talk about though?"

'I want to tell him that he is working to much. That he needs to spend time with us,' but all I can say is, "Soccer is starting on Monday."

"Oh that's great son. I'm hoping I could make it to a few of your games?"

'Yeah right,' I thought, 'your work is more important then going to my games.' "Yeah I hope you do that too father," I got up from the bed to go to my dresser. I got a fresh pair of PJs out and turn to dad, "listen I'm going to get ready for bed and I have a bit of homework to do?"

"Alright son," he gets up from my bed and before he walks out he puts a hand on my shoulder, "Lets do something next Saturday? Just you and me?"

I look at him from the corner of my left eye with a bit of shock. Alright a lot of shock, "You want to do something with me father?"

"Yes I do. I realize that I have not spend much time with you and want to do something about it?"

I have no idea how to react. It's been so long since he has even spoken to me and now he is asking for a son date. I look over at him with a hint of surprise, "I would like that father."

"Great I will make sure I don't work that day."

You shouldn't work on any weekends dad. "Um...yeah sounds..." I am looking for the right words to say, "sweet father."

"Awesome son," he went to the door, "well I let you finish your homework. It's good to chat with you son it's been awhile."

'Yeah dad it has,' I want to say, "Well looking forward to Saturday," I fake smiled at him it would be nice of course for me to spend time with father. It is just the thing about the office that he does not want me to talk to him like that at his work pissed me off.
