When I finally put my white lab coat over I looked in the mirror and realised how much I wished that mom was here to see me in this outfit. She would be so happy and i would have someone who actually would be proud of me. My mind drifted away to one of my favourite memories with her.
I was having dinner at the table. My dad wasn't home he was out drinking with his friends. So it was just me and my dog Jerry. Suddenly I heard the click of door opening and my mom came in. She had dark circles and wrinkles all over her face and I saw the lab coat on her. Near the pockets it had her name tag on it dr Layla Rose. She looked at me with a tiring smile and gave me a hug. She put her stuff down and sat at the chair opposite me and asked "where's dad?" "Dad said he went out with his friends and said not to wait for him" I saw my mom exhale a breath. I knew she was not happy. I remember in the early years of their marriage everything was so smooth but i guess time does change people and it sucks. I tried to change the topic and asked "mommy why do you wear this coat everyday?" "Because sweetie it's like my uniform in the hospital. Why? Do you like it?" I nodded my head at her. Then she continued having an excited grin on her face "what do you wanna be when you grow up? You're 10 now it's time you decide" It was an easy answer. "I wanna be like you mommy." Her grin widened and she came around me and picked me up. I hugged her back.
The ring of the doorbell pulled me out of my thoughts and i blinked back the tears and took a deep breath before opening the door. I saw Loren in a black tank top with tan pants and her white coat on top.

She looked so damn gorgeous even when we're going to a hospital. I gave her a hug and kissed her forehead and lead her inside. "I'm almost ready just need to put on my shoes." I realised she wasn't listening and was looking at my house. It's because it's the first time she's been inside my house. I touched her arm and said "you want a tour?" "Sure. We've got time." I chuckled and grabbed her hand.
I walked her up the stairs and lead her to my room. I didn't decorate it much it was pretty simple. White walls, bed, closet and a balcony. Loren entered my room and looked around "you didn't put any effort did you?" "Hey don't judge a man for having minimalistic aesthetic."
Her eyes landed on the photoframe beside my bed on the nightstand. My breath hitched in my throat as she picked up the photo. It was a photo of me and my mom when we went skiing for the first time. I was 8 at that time with braces and a very chubby face. My mom however looked gorgeous with her straight brown hair. We both looked so happy. It almost feels like a lifetime ago.
She looked back at me and said "is is this your mom?" "Yes." "You must miss her a lot." I exhaled another breath that i didn't realised I was holding. I walked towards her and touched the photoframe in her hand. "I do." She put the photoframe back and squeezed my hand. I squeezed it back.

"And that is my maid Maria." After giving her the grand tour from the pool, the garage, roof we finally made it to the kitchen where she met the women who takes care of me like a second mother. Maria gave her a huge smile and they both shaked hands "sir never brings any girl home so you must be special." Loren laughed at her joke and gave her a hug.
We were now finally walking towards the door. I wore my shoes and held the door open for her to go outside to my garage. I could sense on her face she was thinking something. When I held her hand and made her look at me "what are you thinking?" Her gaze softened at me "you know looking back i would've never imagine you having a normal life like that." "What do you mean?"
"I don't know. To everyone you're this cold hearted biker guy that everyone has a crush on but I know behind all the icy exterior people see you as you do have a heart. You do have feelings and you are human. Human that makes mistakes. I've seen you shown empathy, kindness and love towards people and can i just say i like you better like this."
I stopped in my tracks her words kinda struck me i haven't been talked in that sincerity with anyone in years. She saw through me she always did. And I loved that about her. I drew her to me and gave her a hug. As the winds grew faster i hugged her tighter.
