Hareem :)

After getting a few hours of restless sleep I got up to the smell of pan cakes. It was a Saturday so I got up lazily and walked to the kitchen where mom and Seb were talking and laughing and making breakfast .I sat on a stool near the kitchen counter and put my head on my hands. Mom and Seb probably turned around at the voice and the next thing I knew mom was hugging the living daylights out of me and I smiled at the gesture and leaned into her embrace

"Good morning sweety and happy birthday honey. Oh my God I am such a horrible mother honey I am so sorry for not being here last night" She started apologizing profusely

Thank God you weren't here or I don't know what would have happened. I thought and my mind went to the stranger I met last night or was it a dream.

"No problem mom I understand" I smiled and she kissed my forehead .I loosened my hold on my mother and looked at Seb who was looking at me with a worried face. His expression reminded me that indeed last night was real.

He came near me and engulfed me in a bear hug

"Morning birthday girl" He kissed my cheek and I returned his hug

"You ok" He whispered in my ear and I nodded quietly

I was still a little shocked from what happened here last night

I was still torn between the dream and the reality

"Breakfast is ready" Mom said and we all started eating.

"So any plans for today honey" Mom asked me cleaning the dishes

"No mom not yet"

"What??Its your birthday. You need to have fun honey." She said scolding me lightly

"I agree and you are not wasting your day at home..All of us are going out today ..spent our day doing whatever you like to do and have a blast" He winked and mom smiled like a kid outside a candy store

"Awesome"

I tried to be excited about it and to be honest I was a little excited but I was a little scared

What if he shows up again??

What if he hurt my mother??

What if he hurt Seb

What if everyone thinks I am mad

May be I just need to stop thinking about it. I knew I was confused

"Earth to birthday girl??" I heard Seb's voice and looked at him startled

"Sorry"

"You alright honey" Mom asked and I nodded

"Yeah"

It was clear that Seb didn't told her anything yet and that was the reason she was calm and not bombarding me with questions

"You sure"

"Yeah mom off course"

Seb gave me a "get your act straight if you don't want her to be suspicious" look and I cleared my throat and put on a fake smile and got up from the chair looking excited for the day
