Audrey PoV
After picking Miguel from school, he ran to his room to finish his assignment while I prepared his mid lunch. Since its almost 4:00pm. I always leave work by 3:00pm, so I can be able to pick Miguel.
I faced my frying pan and turned the pancake, making sure it doesn't get burnt before I heard little feet noise. Obviously Miguel running to me.
"I've told you to always walk,baby. You're gonna break your tooth one day." I said still watching my pancake.
"Mom!" He called my attention,
"I'm here hon,no need to yell" I said slightly humored. The reason why he always shouts still, is a mystery to me. The kid just loves stressing his voice.
"Your phone has been ringing for like an hour now." He complained handing over my big iPhone X to me. Dad got it for me last summer. Yeah!I'm daddy's girl of course.
"Mom its a hand phone not a room phone. You're always forgetting that. What if it was grandpa or Uncle Caleb? You know how worried they get when you don't pick your calls." He said thoughtfully.
Again!!is this guy 7 or 20? His lecturing his own mom!
"Okay,sir can I call back now?" I asked annoyingly.
"You can. But mom that smells great. Best mom and cook ever. Can I get some,I'm famished." He said,sitting on the island.
"Off!" I yelled. What if he falls down? He doesn't hear me one bit,when I tell him to stop sitting there. Ugh!!
"Sorry." He muttered before climbing down, before sitting on one of the chairs.
"Are you done with your assignments?" I asked before,placing three pancakes in his plate,and a cup of milk with it.
"Yep! " he said happily,before he pushed his plates closer to himself.
He bowed his head,and closed his eyes,for a short prayer. Of course I would not hesitate to teach my son that. I'm really proud whenever he does that. And who cares if it sounds cheesy?
"Mom you're cheeks are gonna burst if you keep smiling that." He said with mouthful of pancakes.
"Table manners,young man." I barked out,keeping a stern face.
He saluted and kept eating.
I checked my phone notifications, wow! 7 missed calls all from Calvin. Now,Miguel is very right. It's not called a hand phone for nothing.
I called him back,hoping it wasn't an emergency I missed.
He picked at the third ring.
"Hey,sorry I missed your call. I left my phone in the bedroom. What's up?" I asked, taking a bite of Miguel's pancake,which caused a scowl on his handsome face. His love for pancakes!
"There's an emergency, Audrey." His voice sounded desperate.
Oh no! Did I miss something?
"Are you alright? Or is it the company? I'm sorry I didn't....." I rushed my words, which made Miguel's curious eyes,to snap at me. He left his food and studied me closely,maybe checking for signs of worry. My little husband.
"I'm fine,and the company is good too. Its about that discussion we had earlier. The Chinese mergers." He started.
"Yes? What about them?"
"I was invited to a business date, this evening. And I want you to come along. Please,I know you're always against dates ,this isn't a date,its a business one. It might help me get back our Chinese associates. Audrey?"
Are you fucking kidding me????
"I wish I could come,Miguel....."
Miguel's head popped up at the sound of his name.
"You can easily call Nina to come pick Miguel up,you know she will. Please just this once." He pleaded. I could hear the vulnerability in his voice.
Is there even any choice for me?
"Okay" I succumbed. I took a glance at Miguel who was cleaning his oil stained lips,
"By what time are we going?" I asked. Seriously I was hesitant about this date something but, Calvin has done enough for me this is the least I can do for his company.
"By 6:00pm actually,but I'll be at your place before six,to pick you up. Wear something nice,Audrey." He finished,I knew he was smirking.
"Oh please. It's a business date Calvin,so a business date it is. Be on time" And I ended the call.
"That's Calvin,right?" Came Miguel's voice.
"Yep,and I'm going out this evening. Do you mind staying at aunt Nina's?" I asked hoping he won't start his session of questions like ' why do you have to go? ', ' doesn't he know you have a kid? '
I swear the kid is like a CCTV camera in my life.
"Sure. Get me pepperoni pizza when you're coming to pick me up." Did you hear that? Just like that.
"You're not gonna argue?" I asked,perplexed.
"No? Why should I? I know Calvin won't try anything with you. I'll definitely kick his ass." He retorted bravely.
"What did I say about that word?" I said,placing my hand on my hip.
"Sorry mom. Can't help it. Can I go pack my toys in my bag now? So you can go on and prepare for your date?" He said drawling the word date.
"Right. Go on." I nodded to him. He ran to his room quickly. The reason he's so happy to go to her house, we'll,I don't want to know.
Right, I have to dial Nina.
And she picked immediately it rang." Hello,sugar pie. To what do I owe this call?" She said as soon as she picked.
This girl! "I need your help. Can you come pick Miguel? I'm going out this evening." I said,sipping the juice I poured for myself.
"Whoo!!!! Finally, after seven long years, you want to clean up the long dirty overstayed cobwebs which is now very irritating if I should add."
"Your dirty mind. I'm not doing whatever you think I'm about to do. Its just a business date." I said ,becoming tired of explaining.
"You know what? I'm coming right away,and you'll give me the details." And she hung up.
Here goes to the real explanation of my best friend. Always looking for inner things in ordinary statements.
Hey guys......so um I would really love it if you voted.
And I will keep on updating. I'm getting to a higher level.😇😇
