DINNER NIGHT (4)

"How was it with mallow" Emily had asked as we walked out the coffee shop into the street. It was past 8:56 but downside Chicago still seem very busy, I walked on reckoning my tips I made for the day at the coffee shop when Emily's question hit on me. I turned to look at her knowing too well I owe her an explanation but then again there was nothing so exciting about my date the ex-night.

"Thought you'd never ask" I pulled an unrealistic look
"How possible, so tell me about it ....do you think you like him or might?" She asked holding my hands and smiling as though a child postulating for her candy
"Give me a break Emily ....." I pushed back
"Why ....common Quen"she pleaded
"There's nothing so exciting to tell...it went like every other dates" I said with a disappointed tone
"Let me get this straight....... You guys...."
"Yeah we did.... We had sex last night"
"Oh come on quen, you can't keep ruining everydate "
"How is that my fault, what do you expect of me when a guy comes out with his di*ck right to my face"
"I expect you to act a saint atleast" I was bolt out of the blue hearing this
"You're no saint too Emily .....you be going out with joey and Drake
" this has nothing to do with me qwen" she altered
"Its more like we trying to clean up our mess"
"No no " she stopped "this is about you trying to pull your self together. I know what I want and how to get it well done" now she was starring at me, which made me understood there was a lot of sense in what she said
"Yeah you're right , I'm so messed up but mallow is sure in a lot of shi* than I'm into you know" I said as I tried not to smile
"Why do you say so?" Emily ask smiling "come on quen just say"
"While we were in bed, his girlfriend zoomed into us..." Now I was smiling as I tried to picture my self with mallow

"Oh shit... You don't say" Emily said
"Yeah ...that's what he get for trying to take disadvantage of me" I said in conclusion
"You got in a fight with her?" Emily asked
"Hell no girl!!! Infact i ran for my life, ain't dense to be ditch and wooped on " now we had both escalate into laughter......
           
                 ******
Emily and I spoke on other things as we walked home, she couldn't get over the party that was being held down town tonight "yeah"Emily from day one has been a partyfreak and some how I manage to mend in. she was right about one thing tho which was being able to handle herself. it was more like she was the boss to her self that I so wished to be like her.....
"I guess it call for today right" she'd asked as we stopped by her lowered Gate

                   ******
I stood for a moment trying to prehend what it is dinner was all about that night. There was an old looking guy who seemed too well to be my dad seated right beside my mum and I couldn't ignore that "common qwen you should sit" i watched her serve pasta for dinner
"Thanks" I said politely
"You must be Qwen" he asked with a smile
"I am" I didn't want to send a wrong message so I buried my head to the table other than turning to him
"Your mum has told me a lot about you dear" he said again

I turned to my mum as though to give an explanation for what the dinner night holds for.

"uhmmm .... Qwen, this is Mr Patrick Leonard" she managed to say
"Okay!!!....?, So why are we having a family dinner night with ....yeah Mr Patrick right?"I'd asked in the nicest way I could

"How about you just eat at first " she tried introducing a new topic
"Yeah sure ..... I'm eating you could see"
"How about you tell her jane " Mr Patrick said right back at her as he stretch his hands across the table and took my mother by her hands
"Tell me what?" I tried not paying attention to what he just did
"Uhm Qwen.... I need you to know your a grownup now and we need to start taking decisions hoping u would understand them"my mum said
"What does that imply ?" Now I'd relaxed my back on my seat to listen up good
"Mr Patrick and I have decided to get married" she said these words turning to Patrick with a ravishing smile
"You must be kidding me " I tried hard not to believe even though it was obviously true as I could see the gold ring around her finger

"Qwen you're not a child anymore any I believe so...." She said as she tried to bond hand with me
"Fuck off mum, don't touch me" I stood up "what is wrong with you? What is it you want "

I stood to leave

"I just want to be happy" she stood up to walk to me "I just want to be happy and make things right"
"This isn't the first time you want this but with.... Dave,Peter,mark and now him?,"
"Qwen I......"
"Your doing all this because dad left you ?, you asked him to leave remember ....how about you try to fix your self up mum, you can't be married twice at ones" I turned to leave
"His no where to be found" she rushed out with me "and you were laying with mark by the way, so what was exactly I'm i supposed to be happy about"

I'd stopped hearing those words as I didn't see that coming from her

"I slept with mark and wouldn't have if you were ever here" responded back in defense

"What does that make me ?" She yelled at me
"Maybe you would have noticed right away the first time when I was thirteen, but no.... It has always been about you. If you weren't being self-centered, maybe....just maybe you wouldn't have sent dad away" I yelled back at her "how about you try hard to search for him and do things the right way......on a second thought leave the way he did"

I'd picked up my bag and shut the door behind me as I walked down the street in tears, I wanted to be left alone as I needed some space to think when it came to me that the party down town would be the best place to be.
