Forgive Me , Maybe ?

Chapter 15

I was startled out of my sleep when I head a noise come from the  front door . I stood up and looked, it was my mother coming in with suitcases. She was fighting with one to get it in . I smiled widely and squealed. That was when I realized I was sitting on Shawn with my legs on either side of his thighs . But that didn't matter right now.

"Mom!"I quickly limped up to her and gave her a big hug . I love my mommy.

"Marla baby I missed you!" My mom said happily.  "I wanted to surprise you when You and James  came back from school but... wait why are you not in school? "

I pulled away from the hug and saw her huge smile replaced by concern .

"oh my God baby what happened?" She said  lightly touching my bruised eye."who did this to you ?!"

"It's no big deal Mom ,I'm feeling better".

"what do you mean it's no big deal look at your pretty little face it has been dehumanized "

"Mom it's not that big of a deal I promise you I'm fine "

"Maybe we should get you checked out , we should go to the hospital "

"No mom , I promise I'm fine , let's not " she pulled me back into a hug .

"Baby are you sure "

"Yea mom"at that moment I heard someone clear their throat. I looked to my back and saw Shawn standing there awkwardly.

"Oh yea ,mom this is my boyfriend Shawn, Shawn this is mom Natalie "

"hello , nice to meet you mrs Dawson "

"Oh babe you can call me Natalie , it's nice to meet you , I always thought that Marla was goning to end up in an apartment all alone with 5 cats but I guess I was wrong" she said which caused Shawn to lightly laugh .

"Mom!"

"What it's true , can you guys help me bring the luggage upstairs. Plus guess what , I brought souvenirs!" She said excitedly ,  it's hard to believe that she owns one of the biggest businesses in America. In fact most people who work with her believes that she is bipolar . At work she is strict as hell until they meet her outside of work and can't believe that they are afraid of her .Even I do sometimes.  

Shawn and I helped her bring the luggage up to her and dads' room . While we're on the subject.

" mom , where's dad ?"  She suddenly became uncomfortable. Her smile disappeared and was replaced with sadness. 

"Well umm baby , Your father and I have gotten a divorce."

"What ! Why ?!" 

"Well I asked for it ?" She said awkwardly "but before you get mad at me , let me tell you the reason why ?" She said holding out her arms .  "I walked in on your father sleeping with a red head , and when I got mad he told me to deal with it , that I shouldn't have expected him to stay faithful because a guy has needs and him and I rarely see each other so he had to figure out a way to fulfill those needs that I couldn't and that he has been doing it for a while now " by the end of her speech she was in tears which saddens me . 

"O my god mom , I'm so sorry , I didn't know I shouldn't have asked" I said trying to console her by hugging her.

"It's ok , you didn't know and I was expecting you to ask for him cause after all he is your father but I simply wasn't prepared " she said wiping her face trying to dry out her tears . I looked to the side and saw Shawn standing by the door awkwardly. I gave him a sad smile . Just as I was about to say something my mom butted in . 

"Ok time for your gifts " and started  to pulled one of the suitcases on her bed . I swear she's bipolar. I can't believe dad would do this to her . I always thought we were a perfect little family , no I'm lying when they were here  together which was rare they would always argue mostly because she wanted to be the man of the house , while my dad also wanted the control . But he couldn't have control because they were both making money and the person who made the most was usually the boss of the house so in our family that was one of the  main problems. But apparently there's was another one which was sex .

She started pulling out clothes , shoes ,watches and a bunch of that I know that I will never use but of course I'm gonna take them with a smile on my face .  Her and I were catching up with Shawn butting in in some of our conversations.   

We were talking about basketball players when we heard the front door get slammed and later some laughter  coming from downstairs. Oh shit ! Jude !

"My baby's home !" She said dropping every thing and running downstairs. 

"Wait !mom!" I yelled trying to stop her from going down stairs. I was running after her  like a chicken with no head .When we got downstairs , James was laying down with his hands on Jude's hips while sitting was sitting on top of him .
