Aaron Cortez.

I was in my room, lying down on my bed, thinking about how unfair life could actually get. I was perplexed about the whole situation and how extreme my life was actually getting. The only time I actually like a girl, she ends up being a secret agent who is an undercover bodyguard trying to protect poor me from deathly people who want me for some good joy.

I mean, what the fuck.

Why me? I always wanted to live a normal, laid back, humble life. Buy a small place, have fun to fullest with family and friends, live with my wife and kids, and grow old. And here I laid thinking about a girl My mom entered the room during my mission to sink into my bed permanently. I didn't have to look at her to know she was scowling at the lack of light in my room. She quickly drew open the curtains like a predictable mother while I pretended to be fast asleep like a predictable lazy, miserable, son.

Everybody were liars. My mom, My dad, Jason, Clarke!

"How long are you going to hide for?" I heard her walk closer to my bed.

"Imhffs Nohfft Hifinfh." My muffled voice made it impossible for my mom to understand.

"So you're back to being a part of the bed?" When I was a kid, everytime I was sad or upset, and didn't feel like seeing anyone, I would stay in my bed and pretend like I was a permanent part of it. Yeah, I sometimes still do that. Like right now. "You know she is going to come today. They are going to shift few things into the office today." My mom sat down beside me and pulled the blanket of my face. I winced as the bright sunlight blinded me momentarily.

"Mom, I seriously don't care." I groaned as I shoved my head into the pillow next to me trying to escape the piercing light. "And Blimey! Please draw the curtains."

"So you're telling me you don't care?" Her soft fingers brushed my hair softly while I decided to ignore her question. I don't have to answer if I pretend like I didn't hear it. "I'm called your mother for a reason, I know when you are lying." She replied calmly. I groaned at how she was talking to me. I wasn't a kid anymore, I know when I'm lying and when I'm not.

"Mom, I know when I'm lying alright? I seriously despise her right now." I muttered bitterly. She shook her head,

"That is your anger talking. Give her a break, son, She was only doing her job. Plus, She really likes you." She replied winking at me in the end. I got instant flutters and goosebumps at the thought of us together but I quickly shook away the devious thoughts.

"No, Mum! I'm not kidding. I can't even look at her." I groaned, the huskiness in my voice surprising even me. I mentally smiled at myself proudly at how good I sounded.

"That's because you are scared. " My mom replied.

"Scared of what?"

"Scared that you won't be able to look away. Scared that you will fall in love with her all over again." She replied back in disinterested voice as she brought a basket out from my table.

I didn't even notice that.

"By the way, I brought new Aloe Vera fragrance-"

"Mom, no. You can't try all that shit on me. You have another son just for that. His name is Dakota."

"Bloody. Stop it will you!" She looked furious so I decided not to reply. She sighed tiredly and looked away. "Plus, Dakota already took his share. You're left-"
