Did mom just come down from that Rolls Royce? I blinked hard. Yes it was mom and she looked really beautiful and dressy like she was the belle at a ball or something. The man said something that made her blush... I had to understand what was going on so I left the kitchen and got to the driveway just in time to see the man press his lips on mom's cheeks which made her go pink. Aw! Gross! He just pecked my mom. As they rounded up with their display of affection. Mom opened her eyes just in time to see me standing there. "Oh hi Allona", was all she said. She didn't seem happy to see me. "Ahh! Oui! Is zhis Allona?" The man said with a thick French accent. "Yes Pierre this is Allona." Mom said without taking her eyes off me then I knew I was in trouble. Then she turned to smile at Pierre. "She is just as beautiful as her mother." Pierre said as he bent to kiss the back of my hand. Apparently he enjoyed kissing people. My mom didn't seem pleased though. I could sniff something burning. Oh no! The stir fry! I had completely forgotten that I was making dinner. I'm sure it would be ruined now because of my busybody. I rushed back in to find the rice still intact but the stir fry had become burn fry. Shame on you Allona. Mom came in. "What was that about?" She asked obviously annoyed. "Uhm.... Well I just wanted to make sure you were okay since Mr Pierre was unknown and I was kinda fixing dinner so it-
"you wanted to make sure I was OK?" Mom cut in "did I look like I was in danger? You just had to ruin the moment with your nosiness"
"I'm sorry mom, I didn't know there was a moment" I was sniffing already. "Stop the crocodile tears, you're pathetic!" She said and stomped off to her room. Gosh! If only mom knew how much her words sting. My own mother had just called me pathetic. Well there goes my effort at appealing her to a good mood. I had done the exact opposite. This definitely wasn't a good evening.
