The Perfect Man For The Perfect Woman

chapter 24

February 4,2017

Have you ever had the feeling when you wake up one day and conclude that this is going to be a great day. The sun is shining brighter, the grass looks greener, the birds are chirping. To sum it up, you're happy and you feel like you're in a movie.

I mean the kind where the girl is singing to animals and saying hi to almost everything, and.......I should stop here but you get the point, right?

That's how I feel this morning, sitting on the patio drinking coffee with my mom. Paige still asleep in bed. For the past few weeks, I have used my time to visit old friends especially my mom's, binge watched two series and got my mind off..... nope, I haven't heard that name in a while. I'm not going to say it.

I'm going back to work on Monday and I can't wait. It's not the work I'm looking forward to, it's the distraction that comes along with it. It's much easier not to think when your mind is on other stuff. My little break is over and I have Robert to help. Remember Vienna? So she called and said her husband and her are going for therapy so she would probably not be needing me but I've still got a friend. And I couldn't be more happy for her. I'm losing a client, yes, but it's nice that they are working out their differences. They have children to think about.

I'm going back home on Sunday, which is tomorrow. And as much as Tiff wants me to stay at her place because she's never really around, I feel like if I truly want to get my life back on track I need to get my own place and not be dependent on her. So I did what any rational person would do, I bought my dream house. The one I was supposed to buy with .......nope, no name.

You are probably thinking, why would you do that? You'll always remember him. But I can't just tell myself to find another house because of a jerk. This is my dream.

And I'm not letting anyone take it away from me.

I thought I would be married by the time I bought it but guess what, live sucks and never goes as planned.

I'm blabbering. I'm sorry but I just need to let you know that I'm well. I am happy or getting there........I'm better than before, let's just put it that way.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Mom says.

"Huh?" I look up at her.

"Your coffee is going to get cold"

I place it on the table, "Already is" and smile at her. She has this worried look on her face. The look seems to be etched on her face nowadays.

"Should you be going back so soon? I could call Arthur"

"I'm fine" I place my hand on top of hers on her lap. "Truly"

"But-"

"Morning, family" Paige makes her entrance. She places a kiss on each of her cheeks and takes her seat. Her entry put my mom off me.

"You're up early" I say.

"The sky is awake, so I'm awake......"

"So we have to play" I end for her. The line is from Frozen, young Anna. We have watched it so many times, mostly for the songs part but some lines kind of get stuck in your head.

"I knew you'll get it" Paige smiles. "I was thinking we could go to the mall today. Get you new outfits for when you get back to work"

She puts a teabag into her cup and pours hot water over it.

"Do you ever get tired of shopping?"

"Not everyone prefers online shopping" Paige says in a 'duh' tone. "Want to come? We can get you a dress for dinner tonight " She turns to Mom with a grin on her face.
