Trouble is His Middle Name

Chapter 20

"Mommy, why do you not like me to pray to God?"

"Because dear, when has God ever listened do your prayer?"

CHAPTER 20

Oh lord. I've been ridiculous stressed.

For roughly an hour, I've been on my comfy warm bed and praying to God for Saxlon to forgive me.

The thought of someone hating me, especially Saxlon, somehow made me want to burst out crying.

"I thought we were getting along." I mumble to no one in particular, tightly hugging my teddy bear to make me feel at ease.

I stare at my teddy's black ,circle, eyes. "Why did I had to mention those girls?"

Yawning in distress, I turn off my lumb and close my eyes, hoping Saxlon would be feeling better and my mom being home.

"Saxlon." I bite my lips, left eye twitching as Saxlon adds the milk first, than the cereal.

Ignoring the feeling, I glance up at my mom, who was twirling her hair with her finger, while reading her newspaper.

Thank god she is fine. She somehow looks pale but she does not look as bad as Saxlon was last night with all the blood. Rather today, she's wearing all black. Usually she's more colourful.

"You're rather quiet, Valentina." Mom says, not glancing up from her newspaper. "Anything the matter?"

"I'm just tired mom." I fake yawn, capturing Saxlons's stare on my right.

"Well, try to sleep earlier." Mom sighs, flipping to the next page of the newspaper, still not looking up. "I also need to discuss with you the requirements of you both staying at my bosse's house."

I frown. Almost forgeting about mom leaving me and Saxlon to her boss for her work. "Requirements?"

"Yes."

My frown deepens. "What requirements do you need from me and Saxlon?"

At this question, my mom looks up finally at me. Her eyes somewhat looks exhausted and her mascara is rather bold and gluey together.  "You see, I do need you both to be on your best behaviour. And whenever, you are ordered to do something, you must listen."

"Of course, of course." I eagerly nod. There wouldn't be any reason for us to not listen.

"Do you agree with that, Saxlon? " mum turns to Saxlon and he just casually nods, continuing to eat his cereal.

"Oh and more thing. " Mom cheerfully smiles, " there is only one spare room in my bosse's house, so you two may have to share the room."

"Okay." I awkwardly laugh and I slowly look up at Saxlon, to his reaction to this.

And as always, he looked calm, his blue eyes glazed down to his cereal and mouth in a straight line, looking  like this is not some big deal.

"Maybe its not even a big deal." I mutter to no one in particular, a little smile creeping up to my face suddenly at my next thought.

Maybe this could make me and Saxlon closer.
