"Mom can I get a gift for uncle El?" Andrea and I were shopping for Thursday's dinner at my parents house. Originally the plans were for dinner to be at my house but Xavier was already piling up the excuses on why it would be better at my moms.
I needed a outfit to wear
Xavier said I didn't need a new outfit and that the dress I wore for Christmas or new year's last year would do, but no it wouldn't .
"What are you planning on getting him?" I ask as I look over the rack of clothes.
"Like a hoodie or something. I don't know isn't it cold in England?"
" There's also a time difference" I gave her a knowing look and she avoided eye contact. She knew where this was going
"I don't want you calling him if it's not a emergency Andrea. Send a text message don't call him"
"Mom I was having a life crisis! Besides uncle El said I can call him whenever I wanted to" she shrugged and went off to the men section but not far enough, I still had my eye on her.
"Stella Gomez?" The high pitched voice called me out from behind. I looked over my shoulder, my eyes widen slightly but I kept my composure
Martha
"I knew it! I'd recognize a girl in distress a mile away" she chuckled, flipped her hair and clutched onto her bag.
"How's my niece?" She looked around trying to find Andrea and for the first time since she was born I wanted Andrea to go further than I usually allow her too. To go to a different shop , maybe even just be invisible until she left.
"I haven't seen her, but I hear a lot about her from well her dad"
"Her dad? Oh please" I rolled my eyes "she doesn't have a dad let's not fool ourselves. I have to get going you take care" I smiled and grabbed the skirt off the rack before turning around
"Mom! Look which one is better?" Andrea was walking towards us holding a black hoodie and a gray one in different hands. "The black one. Let's go" I grabbed the gray hoodie hanging it on a random rack Trying to get away but Martha only followed - I hope she breaks a heel.
"Stop following us" I turned around and she stopped like a deer in front of headlights. "Seriously Martha stop"
"I just want to meet my niece!" She looked at Andrea than me "she has your ugly fashion taste. Maybe auntie can give you some ideas" she stepped towards Andrea and I stepped between them
"No offense but I don't want my daughter dressing like she's going to a strip club"
"Mom who is this?" Andrea whispered
"I'm your aunt Martha. Your dads sister" fuck
Jesus . Fuck
"I don't have a dad. I have a uncle El and a stepdad name Xavier, those are the closest I have to a dad" Andrea grabbed my hand "let's go mom"
" ask Eliot! He'll tell you who I am and who your dad is" she yelled as we walked to the register
I was lost for words. I payed for the items and walked with Andrea to get her favorite pizza from the food court. She was acting like what just happened didn't bother her, but it bothered me.
Martha had no right to tell Andrea who she was.
"I thought my dad was dead"
I interlocked eyes with her. Her hazel eyes were glossy like she's been holding back tears. Mine were the same and I let a tear slip, "I'll explain back home. Let's get the pizza to go?"
"No, I want to eat here. I'm not letting a lady dressed like a" I raised a brow and she stopped herself before she said the word but didn't care "dressed like a total slut. Did you see her skirt? Uncle El would faint if he saw either one of us in something like that"
I smiled and nodded "she use to date uncle Eliot" her eyes went wide and she fake gaged "EW! Well I'm sure she didn't have lip filler and fake blonde hair when they dated"
"Who taught you those words?" I raised a brow knowing my answer was gonna be uncle Eliot and I was right.
"Kevin uses a lot of foul language at school. Most of the kids in class do and I didn't wanna be the loser who didn't know what they meant so I asked uncle El" she pulled her phone out and showed it to me
Hey old man. Question ? What does slut mean?
Hey nugget, question who called you a slut?
I'll jump on the plane right now.
No one called me a slut ! Kevin uses it a lot along with bitch and fuck also assface . That one's my favorite he called Danny assface for tripping me lol
Who's Kevin ?
Why is Danny tripping you nugget?
Does your mom know? Should I call her?
No! Don't call my mom. She has enough to worry about, I'll explain who they are when I see you thanksgiving break. Now can you explain what a slut is?
Someone who is passed around by alot of men.
Bitch is a female dog and is a insult to women, if someone ever calls you that I need to know
The rest of the conversation went semi normal. I was upset that she didn't tell me about the boy who tripped her but I didn't make it a big fuss, if she trusted Eliot and he didn't call me to tell me or didn't show up at my door step it must not be for me to worry.
"He showed me my first cuss words also, grandma got mad when I used bitch for the first time. Almost broke up our friendship saying he was the devil" I laughed remembering the hardcore memory. "I was a freshman in high school" Andrea laughed snorting the soda up her nose
"God what did she say when you announced you were pregnant?"
Oh a subject I wish I'd never have to talk about.
"She was supportive" I lied. No kid needs to know that her grandparents didn't want her mom to have her.
"Hey if you are gonna be using cuss words there's gonna be rules"
"Yea I know Eliot told me the rules" she rolled her eyes.
Eliot!
