"After all we been through you're just going to up and leave? What about me? What about your Malita, your daughter?!" Elena cries grabbing on to Daniel begging him not to walk out that door.
"I can't do this anymore. You and Malita will be fine. You don't need me. I'm leaving Elena let me go." He pulls her arms off.
"I need you please Daniel!" She chases after him pass Malita who was playing with her toys.
Not being able to handle the pain and the thought of being a single mother she looks at Malita with disgust- not that Malita disgusted her, but for what she's about to do. She grabs Malita's arm and driver to the police station. Malita watches as her mother drops her off and leaves her there. She calls out her name confused.
I can't believe it, maybe I am bugging right now. I decide to say something to her, "Hi, I know this is odd but you look oddly familiar. Is your name Elena?"
"No, my name is Jasmine sorry." She responds with a smile.
"Sorry, you just look so familiar you enjoy your drink." I smiled and I rush home to find the box I keep with me. It has my birth certificate and an old picture of her. I search all through my closet for it and after destroying my closet throwing clothes everywhere I finally find it. "It was her. It was my mother."
She didn't recognize me. Well how could she? I was 5 when she left me at that police station. I broke down and started crying. All those memories from when I was there and in foster care came rolling back. I calm myself down, wipe my tears away, and grabbed my phone. I call my last foster family for some information.
"I know it's late but I believe I just ran into my biological mother. I just need any information you have about her, work, where she stay, or anything that can help me locate her.... Thank you."
What I did find out is that her name is Elena Moore and she works for an accounting firm. I grab my laptop to do some extensive research on how to find her. I don't know how long I was on this computer searching but the sub was coming up and when I look at the clock I have to be to work in 2 hours. I close my laptop once I found her job and went to sleep. My alarm clock sounds off waking me up. I am so damn exhausted I don't know why I let myself stay up all night. I quickly shower and put on a dress since it was the easiest thing to put on.
{Dress Malita is wearing}
I head out walking pass Stephanie who was drinking coffee. I stop to get coffee this morning to wake me up. Joe hasn't gotten on my nerves so far and that's a surprise. He always manage to say something to annoy me. He's being the opposite an ass he's actually being pretty nice to me. I don't know what has gotten into him but I am not going to complain. Cassandra knocks on the door and peaks in, "Hey, I came to tell you that you're moving offices." She says all excited maybe more excited than need be.
"Okay. Joe must like you because he's giving you his office and he's getting a different one."
"Surprise he didn't come in and tell me his self."
Stephanie runs in all estatic, "So who's getting Joe's office?" She asks Cassandra.
"I am." I gather my things.
"Oh okay."
Cassandra steps out. I told Steph to hold on because I want to talk to her. "I saw my mother yesterday at Starbucks."
"Seriously? No kidding?" She sits down. "Are you okay?"
"I found out where she works. When I asked her, her name she said it was Jasmine. She changed her name. I am at a lost for words. I don't know how to go about this. Do I look for my father too. The only thing I know about my dad is we share the same last name Jameson." That's Stephanie's last name and her father but that's would be crazy if he was my father. It just so happen we have the same last name.
"Maybe you should find them both. Get some answers. I'll help you."
"Thanks." We get you and she help take my stuff to my new office. The fact that Joe is giving me his new office is fishy. What he has planned.
"Look at that, you have a new office."
"How did you hear about him moving?"
"Joe and I talk Malita."
"Then how come you didn't know he was giving it to me? How come he didn't give it to you?" I asked sitting in my new chair.
"You are such a bitch." She laughs.
"So how is ya situation are ya in a relationship?"
"No, he's not ready for that."
"Did you ever think he's only nice to you because you give him what he wants when he wants?"
"We both want the same thing, well sex of course."
"Well maybe ya can be more talk to him about it." I said. Joe opens the door. Stephanie smiles at him but he doesn't look her way.
"Imma go." Stephanie says leaving the room.
Joe sits down, crosses his leg, and smiles, "You like your new office?"
"What's the catch?" I asked curious.
"There's no catch, let's just say I'm trying not to be an ass and the office I have been renovating is finished so I figured you can have this one instead of that closet of office."
"Well, that's nice."
"We have dinner tonight at 8. Where something like you had on last night party." He stands up.
"Excuse me?"
"Don't worry it's not a date. I have a meeting with John Legend."
"Late meeting."
"Only time I can get with him and his wife would be there."
"Sounds more like a date than a meeting."
"It's a meeting, I wouldn't be bringing you if it was a date sweetheart."
"Oh please." I said smiling a little.
"A smile, that's the first."
"Don't make me regret it."
He chuckles and leaves. The day has been good.
