Chapter 13 - fifth avenue

Dae's POV

I got home and decided to do some work when my mother called and said she was coming over.

shit.

My house looked like a mess, I better clean it otherwise my mother might just faint. So I frantically began to clean my house, I had barely enough time to change into something appropriate when my security notified me that my mother had arrived. I opened the door and stood in the entrance hall, patiently waiting for her to park and walk to the entrance.

"Maman, so good to see you." I said and kissed her cheeks.

"My darling, it's been too long." She replied.

We walked inside the house and went to the parlour, where Maria brought us tea.

"Oh thank you dear." My mother said as she thanked her.

"Thank you Maria." I said and smiled.

"It is my pleasure madam." She replied and excused herself and left.

"Mon chér, we must discuss the little discussion we had last year. About finding the right man and all that." She said.

"Yes, I do recall that conversation quite vividly. Is there something wrong?" I asked her.

"Well your father and I couldn't help but wonder, have you found anyone yet. I know it's rather early but, well, we just want to know." She replied.

"Well there was someone, kind of. It wasn't really that serious and then I messed up and... anyway, it was never going to work." I told her.

"Oh mon chér, don't get your hopes down, there are other men out there. What is the English saying? There are more fish in the sea? Yes. There are more fish in the sea." She said and patted my shoulder.

"I know maman, but I really thought we had something there for a moment, you know?" I told her.

"All too well my darling, all too well." She replied.

"Okay? Anyway mom, I have to get going. I have to meet Stacey in an hour." I told her.

"You could just say you didn't want me here you know." She said and laughed.

"No maman, it's nothing like that, she's leaving in a few days and wanted to see me before she left." I told her and smiled.

"Back to America it is for her then?" She said and stood.

"I'm afraid so." I replied and I too stood.

"Well mon chér, until next time." She said and gave me a hug.

"Hold on, I'm still walking you out mom." I said and laughed.

She smiled and I walked her to her car, she turned to me and gave me a kiss and a hug.

"Bye mom, I love you." I said and hugged her back.

She got in the car and started the engine, then she rolled down the window and put her sunglasses on. She started driving and just before the gates she stuck her hand out of the window and waved.

"Au revoir mon amour." She shouted.

"Bye mom." I shouted and laughed.

Now. Time to get ready to go to Stacey's. I walked back into my house and out on a pair of sweats and a spaghetti strap crop top, pulled on some uggs, tied a jacket around my waist and started packing a bag with some spare clothes and underwear, just in case. I went outside just in time for Colton to pull up in my Merc and Ralph emerged from somewhere to open the door for me.
