CHRIS POV

Recap**

"Pass me my phone" he signed, but me, I squealed and did what he told me to do. He clicked onto his contacts going straight to his mother's number and clicked on it. After awhile, she answered.

"Hello?"...

"Hello... Helloooooo? Who is this playing on my damn phone?"

As my mother spoke, I felt like I somehow forgot how to speak english

"Chris! Say something!" Miaa whispered

I cleared my throat and said the first thing that came to mind

"Ma? Hey It's ummm Christopher" I heard her gasp before she spoke

"Chris... what made you call?" She sounded emotional, like she wanted to cry but not on the phone

"Umm, my girlfriend she wanted me to call you to mend things and to hopefully grow a bond again" Miaa slapped my arm and made a what the hell face

"You told her about-"

"Yes, I did. She made me realize life is too short to go on without even speaking to you... I-ummm-If you don't want to speak-"

"Boy shut that shit up! Of course I want to speak to you! Every time I picked up the phone to call you my nerves get in the way plus I noticed you got a new number a few months ago when I finally got the strength to call you, I thought you hated me for pushing you away instead of being there for you when you needed me the most. Im so sorry I left you all alone to deal with that yourself Christopher, I miss you and love you so much my baby" Her voice shook as she spoke making my eyes water

"Momma I don't hate you, I never did. I love and miss you too. If it wasn't for Aunt Christine, I guess we never would've gotten in touch. How are you?"

"Christine? She gave you my number? Anyways, I'm good, living life the best way I can. I own a daycare so that's keeping me on my feet."

"That's good Momma, I'm glad you aren't struggling and unhappy, you sound great. Aunty's been keeping me updated these past years, making sure I know where you live, your phone number etc."

"That's sweet of her, we don't have a bond anymore either... when she found out how I pushed you away, she pushed me away. I tell you one thing though, I'll feel so much better if we can meet up , you come over my house or I come over your house? It's up to you... I'll really love to see your face and how you've grown" I smiled hearing her voice spark up with hope

"I'll love that Momma, Imma make time for you just give me two weeks"

"Okay Baby, where's that girlfriend of yours? I'll like to thank her for encouraging you to call me." I looked over my shoulder to see her balled up under the covers sleeping

"She sleep Momma, I'll tell her you said thank you"

"Okay Baby, I love you and I can't wait to see you, hopefully you bring your girlfriend...what's her name?"

"Char'Miaa but we call her Miaa, hopefully she can come, I love you too ma always know that."

"Goodnight Christopher"

"Goodnight Ma" I smiled thinking about embracing my mother for the first time in ten years

"Wow, Thank you Lord" I got up from my bed and looked at the time, 8:45. Not too late to cook something for me and Miaa I thought until I heard the doorbell ring.

I made my way down stairs to see who the hell it could be because we haven't invited anyone over

"Who the hell is!?"
