Knock Me Out

Chapter 13

Home sweet home!!

This day has been so tiring and we're not close to it's end yet. I open the front door and enter the house. My mother's car is in the garage so she must be home.

I hear her voice in the kitchen. Maybe Christian is here. I haven't spoken to him all day.

When I told him about my "missing" period he immediately turned pale. He thought I was pregnant. My mother had the same reaction.

I'm still not sure if she knows that I'm actually sleeping with Christian. I mean she must know right?......

She's never asked me if I had a boyfriend or anything in that direction and I've never spoken to her about it.

As I walk towards the kitchen her voice gets clearer. She's on the phone and it doesn't sound like her normal professional phonecalls.

"No" she giggles.

My mother!!.......giggling like a teenager?!?!...... It can't be. Who the hell is she talking to?

"You're kidding....... Okay if you say so.........sure........see you later......bye"

Oh my God!!!! You've got to be kidding me!!

I walk into the kitchen with my arms folded into each other against my chest and an amused expression on my face.

She's still smiling at her phone and she hasn't noticed my presence. I make a coughing sound as if I'm clearing my throat.

She immediately looks up. A bit of surprise flashing through her eyes, but she recovers quickly.

"Oh hi there" she grins widely.

My expression remains unchanged.

"What" she asks slowly, acting innocent.

"Mother.......who was that?"

"No no no no. I'm don't owe you any explanation cause I'm an adult, so I'm not saying anything. Go freshen up" she says walking to the other side of the kitchen and opening a cupboard.

"Seriously mom? You're not going to tell me? Since when do you keep secrets from me?"

"Since now Chan. You know that's the first time in a long time you called me 'mom'. I like it when you do"

"So you really won't tell me?"

"Nope!...Christian was here. He wanted to see you. Said he hasn't seen you all day. That boy is a good boy"

"Are you trying to change the conversation? Cause it's not working" I laugh.

"Oh please save me the horror for now. Honey I'm hungry"

"So after all we've been trough together, this is the treatment I get from you. You don't trust me" I say trying to sound as emotional as possible.

"I don't know what you're trying to do, but it's definitely not working"

"Fine then. If you're not going to tell me, I'm going to find out myself" I say and grab her phone from the table where she left it.

I rush up the stairs and head to my room.

"Aaaaah!!! Chaniëlle I'm going to kill you if you go through my phone!" My mother shouts chasing me to my room.

I get there just in time and lock my door behind me.
