My New Roommate (Short story)

1.3

"You ready?" I hug her from behind while she's looking herself at the mirror. "Nervous" I chuckled and kiss her neck. "Don't be. You look so beautiful" she's wearing a white lace skirt and a button up sky blue long sleeve shirt that is Tuck in her skirt. And a lace sandal up to her knee. Her hair is in a long braid. She's perfect.

She turn around and wrapped her arms around my neck, "well, you're not bad yourself" is this a tease? Cause I can fuck her right now. I kiss her lips and pull her closer to me. We pull back and we both smile.

"I love you" I said in a husky voice. "I love you too" she replied. That word, it's so good to hear. I wish I can hear it always and always.

•••••••••

We are driving to my house and I can feel the nervousness that's going on Veronica's body. I held her hand and her head turn to me "calm down, V. You're making me nervous as well" she shooked her head and began tapping her feet. "I can't. What if she say so cruel things to me? What if she say what she said to me the day you are leaving-" huwat? I stop the car on the nearest mall and snapped my head to Veronica. Her eyes are widened probably because she didn't mean to say it. But no secrets are going to stay hidden forever.

"What?" I said full of eagerness to know what it is. "Nothing" she looked outside but I caught her chin to look at me. "What did she say?" She took a deep breath before speaking.

"The day before you leave she talked to me. She said you have a big goals you want to achieve and you are a very independent man. Then, she said that you will not achieve what you want in life if I'm here. That I'm no good for you, that I only will make your life worst, that I don't deserve someone like you. " I can't believe mom would say something like that to her. What did she do wrong?! And she will be the only reason why I want to achieve my goals in life.

I didn't reply to her and drive off fast. "Felix slow down!" She called me out but I didn't listen to her. Anger slowly eats me "Felix! Slow down! Please!" I didn't hear anything that she said, all I know is I hate mom. I hate her for saying suck cruel things to her. I parked inside the house and turn to veronica she is looking at me with anger.

"You shouldn't have let your anger eats you, Felix! You can kill someone if you don't control tour temper." Then it hits me. I slowly calm myself and sigh "I'm sorry. Let's just get inside and deal with this" she nodded and we both get out my car I walked by her side and held her hands.

This is it. The moment of truth my friend.

We walked inside the house and walk to the living room. There we found scar and dad who have a worried face and of course mom. The moment we walked in their heads snapped at us mom giving a death glare and her gaze look down to our hands.

When we reached them veronica let go of my hands. "Veronica, my dear." Wow mom nice one. Mom walked to Veronica and gave her a friendly yet fake hug. "Hi.." Veronica said.

"Don't put that act Silvia. They both know" dad stoned said to mom. My moms face dropped "fine. Veronica. Didn't I tell you a long time ago, Right? You broke your promise." I let out a sigh and run my hands through my hair.

"She broke that mom. It's clear to all of us." Her head snapped at me. I hate arguing with her. "I'm not talking to you, son."

"Now, as what I was saying. Veronica, it's clear right? That I don't want you to my son-" okay now let's see her true attitude. I cut her off

"You don't tell us what to do, mom. We both know that what I want, I'll get. And I want her, nothing more, nothing less." She was shocked to my words and she started to shiver

"How dare you to talk to me like that! You're just my son and you do what I say" I put my gaze to dad and scar. They gave me a nod the que for they support me. "And you are just my mother. I know what I'm doing and I know what I want, isn't that still clear for you? You lied to me and tell Veronica such stupid things. How cruel can you be?"

Tears began to cover up her eyes but she blink it away. I'm tired of following what she wants I'm tired of being scared. This time I know what I exactly want. "Can't you see?! You turn into something you are not! Because of this stupid girl!" Mom push veronica in the forehead by her finger. As I can see on Veronica's face, she's stopping herself from shutting my mother down.

"Don't ever! Call her stupid. You're the one who should been called by that, because if your mind is on a mental condition you wouldn't do this to us." She shout and rumble her hair. Then looked at veronica, and a blink of an eye she slapped her. Hard. I was so shocked I turn to her "you okay? I'm so sorry" but she didn't say anything.

"You chose her more than you mother?!-" mom yelled but dad cut her off. Scar run to veronica and hug her. "That's enough Silvia! You're not in your mind!" But she didn't listen to her.

"I didn't know what my son see's in you little girl. But there's one thing I know. Leave him and there will be no problem. He doesn't deserve you-"

"Silvia! I said enough!" My dad's voice echoed in the house

"You're just going to ruin his life! You're not good enough for him. Leave him alone, Veronica. Just live hi-" I was shocked when she finally spoke up.

"Shut up!" My mom was shocked either. And there were death silence into the room. Veronica's face were red in anger. She look mom straight in the eyes

"I don't know if you're just blind or what. Can't you see?! Your son is turning his back on you because of your selfishness. You're preventing him to have the life that he wants. I'm not the one who's ruining his life. You! You're the one. I didn't know what I did wrong for you to hate me so fucking much. If you're just insecure because your son's attention will going to be mine then Goodluck Ms.Steel. Insecure kills"

It's all silence when mom walked out. Veronica breaks down on the sofa and cry hard. As scar and I comfort her dad go to catch up for mom. "Shh. It's okay, V. Let it all out" scar said. I run my hand through my hair and let out a frustrating sigh. "This isn't over yet" I said and turn my head to them. Veronica's face is full red and her eyes are blood shot red.

"Mom's ego will still go on. And I won't let that happen."
