Revenge meets Love

My Change

The next morning I got up around 8 o'clock, again. I already smell the freshly baked cookies from Hanna.

So I get up, take a shower and get in my black bikini with matching white dress and go downstairs. When I come downstairs I see Hanna take the last baking tray with cookies out of the oven and place them on a muffin holder. They look great but to be healthy I take a fruit salad out of the fridge and start eating it.

"So you think that fruit salad looks more delicious than my cookies?" Hanna asks while she tries to put on a shocked face.

"The fruit salad is also your work so I love them both but I want to go swimming so it has to be healthy." I explain to her.

"Can I join you?" My mother asks.

"Huh mother?! Aren't you supposed to be at a meeting." I ask shocked.

"Yes" she says "But my family needed me more than them. So are we still going to swim or what?" I start smiling and give my dishes to Hanna with the promise that I'll put them in the dishwasher the next time.

"I hope not!" she says "It would mean that I'll have less things to do! But now go!" I put the speakers on maximum volume and play 'Can't stop the feeling' from Justin Timberlake. We go wild and eventually Hanna also comes out. When it's around noon we get out of the pool and my mother suggests to make her famous macaroni cheese. I react enthusiastic and so does Hanna. My mother is a bit surprised when I ask her how I can help but then says what Hanna and I can do, which is mostly the vegetables and the creamy sauce. After an hour working the macaroni is ready so my mother gets it out of the oven while Hanna and I are just ready with putting up the table. It's delicious and we complement each other with the work. My mother and Hanna start a conversation and I'm just eating because I'm super hungry and suddenly Hanna takes the dishes and my mother turns towards me.

"So tell me what happened with Jameson because he hasn't come to see you in 2 days while you're crying yourself to sleep and that doesn't sound like him." My mother asks.

"Euhm, it's actually complicated." I start. My mother encourages me to go on so I go quietly on: "Well, it started with you and the participation and.." I tell her everything but I don't dare to look in her eyes because I'm too nervous about her reaction. When I'm finished she takes my head and forces me to look her in her brown eyes.

"Wow, that is the worst story ever!" is Hanna's reaction. My mother laughs with Hanna and eventually a smile breaks through on my face too. My mother takes my hand and she sends me upstairs to change into a dress and some ballerina's and when I come down she opens the door and leads me to her Aston Martin.
