Unorthodox

What?!

"What is it,mom?" I asked. Mom was laying on the sofa,watching Tv. When she saw me coming,she stood up and said,"How about you,me and Daren going out in about half an hour?" She looked really excited.

I haven't seen mom so excited in a long while,because back in Redmond,she never took a day off. She has been the family provider since I was five.

At first it was alright,and she was taking care of herself. But I guess as Daren and I grew up,she's gotten into work too much. So basically Miami is like a perfect getaway to her. So,how can I say no? "Sure,mom." I told her. "Yay,great." Mom said cheerfully.

"So,a friend of mine told me about a nice place that we can hang out at,and it's actually near the hotel."

"Good. And by the way,where is Daren?I haven't seen him since I got in here".

"Oh,he's out buying some snacks," "He would be back in 10 minutes.".

"Oh,okay," "Um,mom? Where exactly are we going?"

"A club... Um,what was it called? Oh,yes,Sky Club."

"And How are me and Daren getting in?"

"Oh,don't worry,my friend told me you two can get in easily."

"I'm relieved.". I said sarcastically.

She rolled her eyes at me, and then went into the bed room to get ready,and I followed later.

We got ready in twenty minutes. Mom wore black sleeveless blouse with light blue jeans and black heels,putting her brown,wavy hair on her shoulders. She looked amazing.

I,on the other hand,wore a beige top under a black blazer with dark blue jeans and off white heels.

Daren got here five minutes after we got ready. We got out of the hotel, then got a cab to the club. The club was so crowded,we could barely make it to the bar. I had soda-lame choice,but you're in a bar! What else could I have chosen?- and Daren had a Sparkling Rosemary Limeade, mom had a Vermouth and Soda. She's not the type of person who likes to drink.

So we had our drinks,and hung out a little. While we were having 'fun', I got a call,it was my boyfriend. I answered.

"Hello?"

"Who's this?" It was a girl answering.

"Who is this?"

I'm steven's girlfriend,that's who!" What?

"Steven Brown?"

"Yes,Steven Brown! Who the hell are you and why is your number on my boyfriend's phone?" I was shocked. What the hell is she saying?

"Well-"

"Listen,I don't care who you are. I don't want you anywhere near my boyfriend,okay?" And she hung up.

What? Who was that? And how could Steven be her boyfriend? He's my boyfriend! Is that some kind of phone prank? I was shocked. I couldn't talk,I couldn't think. I was mentally paralyzed.

However,I couldn't say anything, so that mom doesn't suspect anything or get worried,I didn't want to ruin her excitement.

"What is it?" Mom said,after seeing the expression on my face.

"Nothing, just a wrong number." I said,quickly changing my expression from shock to confusion.

"Oh,okay" mom said.

We didn't stay long after that phone call. We took a cab home,and I didn't say a word on our way to the hotel,not even when we got to our room. I just went to sleep. I couldn't sleep for two hours,though. I kept thinking about that phone call. Was that girl messing with me? If she was,why would she say that? What if she was telling the truth? And why would Steven do that? He's always said that he couldn't describe how much he loved me! Was she already his girlfriend when we got together? Or did she become his girlfriend after we got together? There were too many questions I didn't know the answer to. I laid my head on the pillow,millions of thoughts racing through my mind. I finally became too sleepy to think about them,so I let sleep overcome me.
