One night: slow [ ON HOLD ]

Chapter 6

Waking up to the sound of my alarm, i took a look, and it's 9 am i should get dressed and head to my moms store, it's a jewelry store, called after her name Macia Jewelries, she worked for that shop so hard, and here she is now, the most known shop of jewelries in Chicago, she designs special pieces sometimes for some celebrities, and for special events, i've never been so interested in jewelries, i only wear them to weddings, or something like that. Unlike my sister, always pleading my mom to design for her a new one, and pay her later. Then she forgets them in some random guys house.

********

I pushed the glass doors and entered, i missed the smell of the shop, its been so long i haven't been here.

"Hello dear." My mom came for a hug, and i hugged her tightly back.

"Hey mom, i missed you."

"Oh honey you know the work, i'm sorry last night i couldn't make it to dinner." She said with a sorry look.

"Well you missed one good dinner me and Kate made." I said looking around.

"Really ? well it must have been so good. I'll make it up for you two. Promise." She said touching my cheek.
I kissed her hand. "It's okay mom, we're used of you and dad been so addicted to work." I said with a smile.

"My dear. We have to go shopping some day, you never wear something good. I only see you in your sport clothes, or black jeans and a jacket. I'll tell Kate to help you pick something new and good looking on you." She said taking my hand in hers.

"Oh no, no shopping with kate, she takes forever to pick something. I'll go just you and i. And no i wear different clothes, it's just that you don't see me alot when im going out." I said rolling my eyes.

Whenever we have a small talk, it turns to talking about my clothes, and that i should buy new ones. I don't see a problem, i feel comfy like this.

"As if you go out everyday. You never leave your room when you come back from university or gym. Try to be like your sister, go out with her some day, have fun, try something new. Have a boyfriend."

Try to be like your sister.
How familiar this phrase sounds. Oh because i hear it every time we talk about me.
If you only new tha man i saw at the gym what he looks like mom. Nothing compared to the guys Kate go out with.
I kept my mouth shut, didn't want to share what happend that day, if i told her she won't stop asking.

"No mom i'm fine like this thanks." I got up, before this conversation gets any longer.

"I'll see you tonight, i'll try to come early." Try.

"Okayyy. Byee." I kissed her cheek. And turned.

"Take care honey." She called behind.

It's 9pm. I changed into my pyjama pants, and a tank top, its getting hotter this days. Taking my laptop, i sat on the couch, i had research to do about the most known old buildings, who built them, and their owners.
As i just started typing, i heard my phone vibrated on the table. Whos texting me at 9pm ?
I took my phone to see what the text says.
It says. "Oh look whos number i got."
No name.

I typed. "Who's this ?"
I narrowed my eyes at the screen.

*Bip*
It says. "At least i know who you are."

What?
I typed quickly. "But i don't know you. Who are you ?"

This is creepy.
*Bip*
"What if i told you we've met before."
