Are you my mom?

Chapter 17

Sofia POV:
We enter the restaurant and the receptionist asks whose name is the reservation and leads to the table. That table, that specific one, that table where we cried, we laughed, we made jokes, that table keeps so many memories with the person who was and is my favorite person forever. He's not with me anymore but I don't want to keep thinking about it, I just sit and look at the menu. Since that accident my life changed completely and I never thought I would come back here. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't see Scarlett waving to me asking if I was okay until I felt her hand on my knee and I snapped out of tense.

Colin POV:
I don't know if i had chosen the right place or if it was too soon. I know I screwed up and I want to fix it but I don't know if bringing her here was the right move I just hope everything goes well.

Scarlett POV:
I don't know how special this place is, but it seems to be very special because Sofía doesn't even see me, she's like in another dimension until I get her out of a trance by putting my hand on her knee. I have noticed that this helps her, and I made a mental nota in my head in case another moment like this happened. She don't talk much and order a pasta that she barely ate.
-Sofi you have to eat a little more love, you hardly touched her I told her.
-It's just that i ate a lot today on the set and Noah brought me some coffee before I left and that filled me up.

Look I'm the mother of an 8-year-old girl (I don't remember if I had put Rose's age or if that was correct, but we're going to pretend that was it) and a 15-year-old girl that I don't even know but I've been trying to do for a long time contact but I have not achieved anything, they cannot lie to me. Sofia is a great actress but she can't lie to me

-Sofía, what did you eat , tell me everything I asked her
-Mmm, well I ate a waffle in the morning, a coffee, I ate a protein bar, another coffee and I don't remember anymore but I'm really full
-Did you ate what I left in the lunch box
-Ajaa, she tells me but he doesn't look me in the eye.
-Sofía Isabelle Johan Gomez tell me the truth and I'm not going to ask you again.
I almost told her Johansson again, I see how his little face is saddened a little, I screwed up, I know I'm not her mom but she has to eat -Scarlett, I'm sorry I wanted to eat it but I forgot, but I brought you the lunch box, she told me with little eyes What am I going to be with this girl?

Sofia POV:
-Scarlett, I'm sorry if I wanted to eat it but I forgot, but I brought you the lunch box
The truth is that I haven't been hungry all day, I just had breakfast and had about 4 coffees, and it's not that I don't want to eat, it's that I don't have an appetite and I try because I don't want to go back to that place where I was but I can't
-I'm sorry baby, but you have to eat a little more, you're not going to sleep on an empty stomach, we won't get up from here until you eat at least half of it, she told me, looking at me with mom's eyes.

The truth is that it felt good that someone cares about how you eat and that although previously she was going to say Johansson but ended up saying my last name, it made me feel a little sad because I would like my mom to look at me, know me and care about me like Scarlett does for Rose and another thing is that I like when she call me "baby" my inner child smiles because I never had my parents being affectionate or giving me pet names since I was about 6 years old or so. I finished half of my food, I wanted to pay so I got up asking to go to the bathroom but Colin knows my tricks and he stopped me to go to the waitress telling her not to let me pay When he went to see her, he told me that she couldn't and that my dad had taken care of it,
My dad, how good it would feel if Colin was my dad but it would be too good to be true. I return to the table and he looks at me with a victorious smile and Scarlett with a raised eyebrow I gave up and sat down again I was already tired so I leaned on Scarlett's shoulder until I got up.
