Invasion Of Privacy

Chapter 57

THREE WEEKS LATER
Jeremiah POV

My eyes watched as Ms.Bacardi cleaned the top of my wound for the first time today. The sun was slowly rising and she said I had to get up and get ready for the day. She had some fun things planned for me. "So since your my god mom, can I call you 'mama'?"I asked out of the blue.

She looked up at me and paused for a second before shaking her head.

"I don't think that would be necessary. Your mom might find it disrespectful."She replied. "Oh."I mumbled.

"I mean, I guess you can call me something like 'madre'. It means the same thing as 'mom' just a different language. Just not the direct term of 'mom' okay?"

"Aight. I wanna clean the rest."I spoke up, and took the towel from her. I cleaned the bottom part of my wound and applied the cream on it.

"I already took the medicine."I pointed out. She dropped the pill bottle back on the dresser and smiled awkwardly.

"You beat me to the punch."She laughed.

I nodded and started to get out of the bed. "You gonna be able to get dressed by yourself?"She asked and I nodded. She left the room and I pulled open the drawer and ruffled through it.

I got dressed, then fixed up my face and brushed my teeth. "Ooh, I look sexy."I smirked at myself in the mirror as I picked my hair out. I was going to grow it out so it could be cute and curly. I'd pick up more ladies this way.

"Where's your little boyfriend?"I asked after chewing some of my food.

"He went to go drop off his kids. He'll be back later. You like him?"

"Ew no, I'm not gay."I wiped my mouth with a napkin.

"No silly,"She giggled. "Not like that. Do you like him for me?"

"I don't know what you mean."

"Don't worry about it then. Let's go."

After breakfast, she led me out to the garage. There were many cars in there, I think Kiari had more than daddy.

"Roof or no roof?"She looked down at me and I just shrugged.

She picked the Mazda and let the top down. As soon as she reversed out of the garage, the sun hit us hard. It's a lot hotter in Florida, than in Louisiana, so I wasn't used to the heat just yet. She always bought waters for me.

She summed up a plan for the day consisting of fun activities. First, we would go pick up the parts for a model rocket, go home, build the model rocket, eat lunch and geocache. A long time ago, she signed up for work at an animal shelter and the day has come for it so she was bringing me with her. And after that, we would come back home and cook dinner. Well, that's what she told me.

It took an hour to find the right parts, three hours to build it. We even shot it up but it only went ten feet into the air. "I found the golden egg!"I shouted.

I dug through the flower bed and snatched the golden egg up. A smile planted right on my face. "Open it. See what's in there."Madre came from around the corner of the house.

I cracked the egg open and pulled it apart to find fifty bucks. "I'm rich!"I hollered with joy. She just laughed while I placed the money in my back pocket.

"Are you gonna buy me lunch with that?"She asked.

"My treat. Let's go sweetheart."I smirked at her and she just laughed again. Madre helped me into the car and we went to one of her favorite spots, Raising Canes.
