Donte

I sped down the street trying to overtake a few cars. I was more than late for the family dinner at my house and I knew I was going to get a earful from my mother about tardiness. My mother has always taught me to be early for everything no matter what it is and no matter its importance. I pulled up at my parents house and cursed silently as I park behind my fathers car. No I know I wasn't about to get one lecture, but two.

I slowly walked up to the door and said a small prayer , cause I knew it was about to go down. I opened the door and heard laughter coming from the direction of the kitchen.

"DONTE ROMARIO EMMANUEL ROBINSON THAT BETTER BE YOU WITH A REASONABLE EXPLANATION AS TO WHY YOU'RE LATE"

Damn. I can't tell my mom that the reason I'm late was because I was fucking some chick at IHOP. She'd smack the black off me.

"Its me mommy"

Yes I still called my mother mommy. I'm a big ass mama's boy and I'm not ashamed of it.

"Boy your a grown ass man , why you still calling your mother mommy"

I chuckled and turned around to see my father. Dr. James Robinson , the man I look up to. This man right here was and still is my role model. Because of him we came from nothing to something. This man right here worked his butt off to send both his kids , himself and mom back to school so our future could be bright. He went from selling drugs as a corner boy to now being the principal of a well known college. I could never lose my respect for this man.

"Oh , so your just gonna stare at me and not give you old man a hug?"

I quickly embraced him in a warm hug.

"You better go upstairs and get that perfume scent off of you before your mother smells it. You know how she is boy."

Chuckling , I ran upstairs to freshen up. Dad was right , mom would slap the shit outta me if she smelt a woman's perfume on me. She's never been too fond on my "lifestyle" and has always said she wishes I would get married and settle down with someone. Preferably someone who's not a hoe.

.

After showering and changing, I went into the kitchen seeing my mom in my dads lap chopping some carrot. I love the relationship my parents had. They've known each other for like 40 years and have been married for 20. I cleared my throat and they both looked up. My mom quickly jumped out of dads lap to embrace me in a warm motherly hug. I'm not lying when I say she gives the best hugs.

"I missed you so much baby. How have you been? You hungry? "

I nodded my head and she went in the cupboard for a plate to dish my food out. I missed my moms cooking. I missed home cooked meals period. I've been living on microwavable food and Popeye's. My mouth watered as she layed my plate down , with mashed potatoes , baked chicken and curried rice. I bowed my head and prayed over my meal then dug in. Mom took a seat beside and stared at me long and hard.

"Is that a hicky on your neck? Ohhhh , I get it; you were too busy having sex to come here early?"

I almost choked on the potatoes as my hand covered my neck. Shit Shit Shit. By looking at my mother I could tell she's mad, but mostly hurt. She got up and left me and dad in the kitchen.

" Boy you better go apologize to your mother. Cause you know when she's like this I'll have to suffer"

I sighed , then up and went in search of her. At a time like this I wished they didn't have such a big house.

I heard sniffles coming from my old bed room and I sighed. My mother was really sensitive , mean but sensitive. The simplest things me or any other family did or said to her got her emotional. I pushed the door open and stopped in my tracks as I saw my mother crying while looking at what looked like a picture of me when I was a baby. I hated to see my mother cry , especially when I'm the source of her pain.

"Mom , I-.."

"Why did you have to grow up so fast? Just yesterday you were lying in my arms screaming at the top of your lungs."

Her lips curved into a smile. I looked around the room and saw it was the same way I left it.

"Remember when you just started college? You used to call me everyday to see if you could come over. Now you barely even call and I rarely even see you. I wish you and your brothers and sister were still babies you know. I miss you guys running about , needing stuff. You know depending on me."

I sat beside her and hugged her. I guess I could understand what she's saying. I haven't really visited in a while and I barely call her. I see dad everyday at school , so there's no problem there.

"I'm sorry mom. I've just been busy lately-.."

She smacked me across the back of my head , which I must say hurt like hell.

"Don't you dare lie to me. Do you think I'm stupid , remember your father is the principal. I know your schedule like the back of my damn hand. You have one more time to lie to me boy."

Rubbing the back if my neck I chuckled. My mother was not stupid she knew exactly what I've been doing.

"Okay , I've not been busy with school. I've been busy with something else"

"Mmmm , fucking them nasty ass girls. Who is it this time?"

I've always told my mom about my women. Cause if I didn't she'd beat my black ass. In this case though I couldn't tell her , cause Britney's husband was dads Bestfriend and I knew my mom would not keep that a secret. She's always talked about how much she hates her already. Even though I might not be in love with Britney, I still respected her. Plus the pussy was good and if her husband found out she would hate me. And that meant no good pussy.

"Um, you dont know this one ma. Plus it was just a one night thing."

She just nodded and didn't press on the subject anymore. Which I was glad for.
