When I say King, you say Dom

Chapter 5

          Not really sure how blind dates were suppose to go, being that I've never had one, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't suppose to be, the guy talking to your mom more than he was talking to you. We had sat and ate dinner, from homemade sushi, to chicken and black bean with fried rice. Not forgetting my mom's special seafood spring roll, my date might not have been going as planned, but this food was the best thing ever! Chinese and Japanese food are my weakness and it was too amazing. I was pretty content either way. Andy had asked me simple things like, what I studied in university, where I had studied, what I did for a living. Nothing rather personal, I felt almost disappointed that my mum was getting more attention than me. Which is dumb because I really didn't care about this stranger, but my mum seemed to. I looked at them across the table. I could see her eyes bubbling with pain and happiness all at the same time. I'm sure my forehead was wrinkled in confusion but they never seemed to notice. Mum never mentioned anything about this guy at all, yet there was something about him that felt familiar.

        After being completely stuffed and praying for no birthday cake, I excused myself, grabbed their plates along with mine and put them in the sink. "She is so beautiful, father would be so pleased to know how wonderful she has grown to be." I was on my way back to the dining room and I heard Andy, and my mouth went dry. I couldn't move, my body was waiting for my mother to respond. " Oh Cameron, I've waited so long to see you, my beautiful baby boy," I stopped breathing, who the fuck is Cameron? Isn't that Andy? umm...baby? " I wish Jacques, would have come, I miss him so much." Andy then replied, "You know he can't leave, Ravanus, he knows of you and Carmella. I don't know how much longer I can keep the guards off the trail but we need to leave before its to late!". That was it, all the foolishness I was hearing was driving me insane. I stormed into the dinning room.

        "Carmella! You're back wonderful, I'll get the cake and we can have the final celebration!" My mother had stood up trying to hide her worried expression. "You are going to cut the crap and tell me what us going on! Who is Cameron and what is this about baby?" saying this made me feel crazy and almost sorry I was so rude to my mum. "I'm sorry, are the cameras about to come out?" I laughed shakily," Because I've always thought that MTV show with the pranks was hilarious, like this would be a really good time to come out!" I looked around desperate to see some form of confirmation and this was some big joke.

        "Honey, I need you to sit down and just breathe okay, there's something we really need to tell you," My mum tried to hold my hand but I yanked it away. I noticed Andy get up and moved away towards our kitchen. "Mum, you need to tell me this is a joke, because for a minute it sounded like you have a son and my father who is dead, is not dead!" I could feel the panic pulsing through my chest. I heard the downfall of rain outside, the storm had started. "Listen to me, and I'm being very serious. There are many things I've needed to keep from you, but it was to protect yo-",I cut her off instantly. "To protect me!! Are you serious, no you're insane! This is insane!", I felt the tears building up. I had a brother, a father and God knows what else. "Carmella, please! I need you to know, everything I've done is because I love you! Yes, you have a brother and...his name is Cameron. I invited him to dinner so you could finally meet him. So we could tell you everything!" My eyes widen, listening to what she had said was heart breaking. "You mean to tell me...That all this time, I've had a brother that you forgot to mention for ALL these years!! and you just randomly decided on my birthday, this would be the best surprise of my life!" I was screaming at that point and I heard Cameron run into the room. I turned to look at him but before I could say anything, his face was pale and stricken with fear. He towards my mother as though someone had died. "They're here and they will kill us all!"
