DADDY ISSUES

26

The next day came with silence. As nothing ever happened. Mom didn't talk to Klaus, Klaus didn't talk to her. This is the second day and he still sleeps on the couch. The atmosphere was so electric. Even though they didn't speak I knew how upset they were with each other. Dad called me last night and he said his bock from his work. He had the flight Los Angeles - New York. Of course, I am going to see him. I miss him and I want it to go away from home for little hours. To let go of whatever happened and relax. 

This the other day morning and I'm dressed and ready to go see dad. I say to him im gonna walk myself. I need it a little walk, fresh air, time with myself and thoughts. I walk downstairs. I see Klaus sleeping on the couch. I look at the clock. God. He is late. Mom is unbelievable. She didn't wake him up. He was sleeping with a lot of paperwork around him. Yeah, today is that important meeting he talked about. Ugh, mom. I had no time from shame or anything else to think. I had to wake him up. I walk to the couch and put my hand on his arm. I start shaking him. 

" Klaus wake up "

I say loudly. I shake him faster.

"Mmm "

" Come on wake up, you are running late. "

I look at the clock. He is gonna lose the meeting. I was so anxious. I hit his arm with my hand. But more my hand hurt than him.

" Wake up "

I scream. My face was red and I was breathing heavily. He opens his eyes. He looks at me.

" Melanie? What hell happen? Why are you yelling?"

I let a breath and look down.

" You are running late to work and today is your important meeting "

He opens his eyes wide.

" Fuck "

He says and put his hands on his hair. It's the first time I hear him say a bad word. But there is none time for that.

" Go take a shower and get dressed as fast as you can. I'm gonna make you coffee and something to eat on the way there."

I say and he smiles at me. He holds my hand and kisses it with his lips. I smile. I felt this strong feeling on my tummy. But I pull my hand not because I was thinking I shouldn't be doing this but because he is gonna lose the meeting.

" Come on Klaus, move, move "

I say hitting my tight. He laughs and stands up. He runs upstairs and I go to the kitchen. I make coffee and put it on a plastic cup. I put together quickly a sandwich. I put it on a little plastic bag. I hear the door close with force. It's him. He walks quickly to the hallway and down the stairs. He put a black, classic suit. He didn't have a tie and the white shirt was halfway buttoned. He looks at me and my heart jump. I breathe. 

" Here take this "

I say and take to my hands the cups and the little plastic bag. He smiles and walks to me. He takes it from my hand and immediately takes my hands so I won't feel his touch. He stays there looking at my eyes. I look down.

" So I have to go now, dad waits for me "

I say breaking this silence and I walk quickly out the kitchen. He follows me. I open the door and get out. I walk faster. He went left to take his car. I walk fast on the sidewalk. I hear his car leaving and I turn back. He despairs so fast on the road. Well, he is in a hurry. How mom can be so selfish and do this? To do it to dad or me it's okay. Usual. But to him. She says she loves him and she is going to marry him but does this. Now he sees my mom. My real mom.
