   "My life flows like pages not transitions, I like cakes but not the diet ones and and......
"Alexa" I heard mom call out, "family meeting". I groaned and dumped my face in my pillows, I had thought the stupid family would end after dad left but it didn't and now I would have to bear the pain of seeing my dad outside of our lives.
How delightful.
I stepped into my flip flops and retied my robe, for me any clothing other than maternal sized comfortable robes is a NO-GO area for me, after all I never left the house only when I went to boarding school which by the way, is another prison with inmates. I took quiet steps downstairs hoping not to wake Roger because we are not the best of friends,
"So how's the baby" my mom's voice echoed in the kitchen followed by a dead cold silence then sure of one thing my dad was on the phone. I jumped into kitchen swinging the door open and crashing a few plates on the floor, "oops"
At least I broke the silence.
And the smile on dad's face did make me feel like captain marvel, "hey dad" I waved. I didn't bother to clean up my mess. My mom would Never let me.
"Ssup pumpkin"
"The sky" I answered settling on a stool. I was happy and for sure I was smiling. My dad may be a dick but he still is my favourite.
"How does sixteen feel like"
"Great" I answered realizing I was putting on the robe he gave me for my birthday
"You like it ahhn, I knew it. Maternal sized and comfortable" he said in between laughs. I flicked the screen of my mom's phone at an attempt to flick his forehead. He smiled.
"She looves it and she can't stop telling me that it sings" my mom said smiling at him, innocently, like a friend. I furrowed in my mind at how well she seemed to manage catastrophes. "Duh".
"Ehm... Riguez" my mom said pointing at the digi clock. I gave them alternating glances.
"Alexa" my dad called
"Yeah"
"Your mum is going to be out of the city for weeks
What
"And she doesn't want to leave you but... Actually we planned to get you a job at grumpy cakes and the neighbours get to look over you since they have got no extra rooms"
I'm gonna go outside. Yeah.
"Fine" I answered turning back,
"She is gone"
"Oh.
"She was scared you would freak out and get angry......
Then she doesn't know me
Grumpy cakes
Me, alone
Neighbours .........
And their son...........
Best birthday present ever.
