Chapter 7: Pretty Thoughts

Desmond
"So mum when did you get in was the flight okay??" I asked burying my hands in my pockets. I cannot believe my mom just showed up out of the blue..right after I just finished a deal! As far as she knew I was a pharmacist who graduated college early.

"How did she even know where I'd be?! This is crazy man I haven't seen her in so so long. I missed her and the way she's soft spoken but also demanding. I can't believe it's really her.."

" then next thing you know he was running through the isle butt naked with some cowboy boots on talking about he's the new sheriff..chileee but other than THAT the flight was fine I been here since yesterday" Mrs. Fuentes went on. Desmond just burst into laughter pulling her into a hug.

"Mum I really missed you.." I confessed. I felt like a little boy again in her arms. I could let my guard down only a little though. She hugged me back smiling. "Enrique told me where you lived & I just wanted to see you and spend some time with my baby. You know I'm still bitter about you leaving like that..my baby boy decides he just gonna leave the nest.." she teared up.

"Oh no no no Mum please dont.." she burst into tears. "Cry" I tried to calm her. "Hey hey heyyy how about we go get something really good to eat. There's a bomb Jamaican place just like back home, okay? Relax I'm here you're here let's go get cleaned up." I helped my mom up the stairs sighing lightly. "Lord knows she's a handful" I thought as I laughed to himself.

"That sounds lovely baby. Will that sweet girlfriend of yours be joining us? I know I was bitter about her back home about her but that was only because I knew she was too good to you. She was the mom in all the places I lacked.. ANYWAYS i know she got accepted into Berkeley and it would be amazing if she could eat with us. I always loved her eyes and just her personalit-..." His mom's voice faded as he was flooded with thoughts of Her.

"Cinnamon..that was her at the party..Cinnamon..my girl. F*ck f*ck f*ck! This can't be real this can't be happening.."

"Speaking of that I don't feel so well you and Enrique should go eat though here take some cash go have fun I'll be here when y'all get back" he handed his mom a wad of hundreds and ran upstairs looking pale. He grabbed his phone out his pocket and scrolled in his contacts to a number with no name. His thumb lingered over the telephone icon. Call her his inner voice said as he pressed the symbol.

"Hello?" A feminine voice answered. "Hello???" The voice called out again.

I hung up the phone falling back onto my bed.
