2:30am

"Get out Alisha"

That word kept ringing in my mind....not "you are fired" or the coldness in his voice or the disgusted look he wore....just those words.

What was I expecting.

I scoffed and went back to bed.


*******
I had left, that was what he wanted, i had walked out, not even saying a word, what was I to do, I had let a kiss get into my head and I had gotten Grammy awards for it....."You are fired" and "Get out Alisha"...wonderful honors...if you ask me.

"Sweetie...Do u want more brownies???" mum asked, i nodded.

"Come to think of it,you never reject my brownies even when you are in a sad mood" she drew her brows together, feigning wonder.

I chuckled. she was trying to put me in a good mood, but I am.

Not just showing it.

"Mum I gotta run,meeting with Carla at the diner,Alfredo's diner"

"That sexy old man???"

I cocked a brow "you are married"

She stuck out her tongue "Real mature, mum" I smiled genuinely.

She hugged me "Mum,don't cry...please"

"Alisha,you've been sooooo cold for two weeks,you smiled,for me,that's worth crying about" tears rolled down her face as I stared into her eyes which was a twin to mine.

I hugged her "Don't worry mum,I'm really okay,I just let a very stupid stuff get to my head" I pecked her.

"I love you"

"Love you too Ma"


*******
"You are stupid"

I sat up straight as I listened to the call which just went to the voicemail machine.

She knows I hate insults.

I picked "Don't ever say that"

"Oh what would you do,fire me???...you wish you could,you would have done that long ago,you are such a coward,fool,big stupid rich foolish guy, and you call yourself a Christian, is that what you are being taught, you are stupid...stup...."

"Enough!!!"

"Oh I'm not done Mr Terrence,you will listen to me Mr Terrence,Terrence you will listen to me".

I groaned and slammed the phone into its case....."I'm listening"

I sat and inhaled and exhaled, she definitely knew where to hit.

"You sacked Alisha, care to tell me why???" as I was about to respond "oh don't, let me tell you why,you like her,and you fired her??? let me guess??.....did you kiss her???" Silence
"OMG,you are a bigger fool,you fired her because you kissed her??.......you'll regret this,Terrence you will, i'm done with you,have a good day, if you can" she hung up.

I sighed,this would be over in a month.

I gulped the last drop of the wine and even the wine was not in my favor.
