Love From A Picture

4-The Picture

            As I stepped into the house, the delicious smell of fried chicken filled my nose.
       'Mmm mom, this chicken smells so good'...I commented
       'You  are in a good mood today, what happened in school'...she asked throwing me a curious look
      'Oh mom, today was great but nothing happened though, I just think that my school spirit has been revived'...I answered
    She scoffed..'yeah like that will ever happen'
       'Hey!!!...what is that supposed to mean'...I asked my mom faking being offended
       'You know I always have school spirit, I am dedicated to school work and I participate in every school activity, more so, I am always punctual you know'....I said defending myself
      'Yeah if by having school spirit you mean grumbling every time you wake up on a school morning, and by being  dedicated to school work you mean rushing to do your assignments in the mornings before leaving%2in every school activity you mean complaining about how many school clubs they have in your school, and by---'
        'Ok ok ok... I get it now but geez mom if u put that way it makes me look a little bit bad'...I said cutting her off
        She gave me a look...'a little???'
      'Yeah mom'...
        'Really now?'...she asked
          'Fine whatever'...I huffed going to room.
         Way to kill my good mood but for the first time I can't wait to get to school tomorrow...

   .....then  his hands came up to my waist and he pulled <%2 me into his chest.
     'Bernie'....he called
      'Mhm'....i replied
      'Can I kiss you'...he asked already leaning down
         'A billion dozens yes'...I replied happily
          'Then delete the picture'...he stated
         'What, no way'...I refused
         'Then bye'...
    I watched him walk away slowly
          
      Stupid stupid stupid  picture
------------------------------------------------------

       I woke up and checked the time, it was 5:50am which was 10 minutes before my alarm rang. I smiled to myself remembering my dream
      'Well...Daniel if you really want that picture, you are going to have to earn it'...I said to myself smiling contentedly.
       I brushed my teeth and slipped into the bathroom and took my time washing every area of my body. I came out of the bathroom 20 minutes later and entered my walk-in closet.
        I selected a black pants and black top because I was feeling really devilish. I got dressed and settled for light pink lip stick and and blusher. I wanted to look cutely devilish. I slipped on my black flats and went downstairs.
       My mum was already downstairs making breakfast.
      'Morning mum'...I greeted in a good mood
       She turned her head to the sound of my voice and the spoon in her hand fell to the floor making a 'clattering' sound. She looked shocked but regained herself and asked;
       'Uh good morning but who are you and what have done to my daughter'...
       'Why do you ask mom?'...feeling pretty stupid
       'Well because for starters, my daughter never wakes up early and in a good mood at that'...she replied
      'Gee thanks mum'...I replied sarcastically
       'So what's for breakfast'...I asked changing the topic
      She looked at me shocked..'you are staying for breakfast'
        'Well no, not really, just wanted to know so that I can stare at it all day'...I replied
        'Well Miss Bernice Evans, you had better tune down on your sarcasm, in case you have forgotten, I will remind you, I am your mother and you had better show me some respect'...she said strictly
        'Oh darling mother '...I said and then moved over to give her a kiss on the cheek which was meant to mollify her.
       'I have to go now, kiss Daddy for me, Bye'.... I told her
        'Ok bye, have  a nice day'...she called out
         'Ok thanks mum'...i replied
   Oh Mummy dear, I will have a great day in school if I do say so myself
           Hehehe
