My Safe Space "In Daddy's Arms"

CHAPTER 1

I cant believe my alarm woke me this early on a Saturday morning.

Maybe its because you forgot to turn it off last night thinking today wasn't a Saturday stupid my rude subconscious points out.

The damage has already been done, I'm awake already so I might as well clean up this mess I call "my room" instead of trying to debate with Zoey the brat....or I could call Maddie to come over and help out,Not that I'm lazy but....of course you're lazy,Zoey scoffs.

I've literally had enough of your opinions Zoey please get out of head,I say to myself as I check the pile of clothes on the floor for my phone. I finally found it in the back pocket of my black jean.
I searched Maddie's number out and called.
.
.
Ringing sounds echo in my head before she picked up.
"Hey" I say first "Good morning"
"It's 2 in the afternoon Christine" she says in between giggles.
Such a dummy!!!!
"Oh yes it is, sorry I just kinda woke up so I forgot I think"
"Okay so what's up? Any news?" She asks curious
I know for a fact there's a smile on her face right now.
"Uhm I kinda need you to come over in 20"
"Okay? Why?" Sheesh she's so annoying.
"Because you're my best friend and I miss you, no big ..." She cuts me off before I even finish.
"You need my help with something, I know you", she giggles "SPILL! is it about Trevor?"
"No it's not, why would you think so?...okay my room's a mess, I need you to come over and help out and there's news too", I lie to draw her attention, the lie is about the "news" part though.
"LAZY!!!!" She yells at me same time zoey leaves her mark on my mind too. "I'll be there in 20, expect me".

"All done...I should prolly head down to the kitchen for breakfast"I say to myself cheerfully applauding like a child before putting on my fluffy pink house slippers.

I walked towards my room door and unlocked it,I was about stepping out and just then I heard a beep then I turned and saw it came from my laptop I had neatly placed on my desk,looking closer while I was still at the door I noticed it was a notification sticker.

"I should prolly check it......or it might just one of those irrelevant emails,anyways you'll check it out later after having breakfast".my subconscious adds.
I've totally had enough of her grouchiness already.

I walked out the door slamming it behind me and then started to regret it but it actually didn't come out as loud as I thought it would. I was walking down the stairs and the house was awfully quiet that I started to wonder if Mom was still home.

"M..Mom....are u there" I call out.
"Yeah sweetheart I'm in the kitchen"
"Oh"I say and walk straight to the kitchen.

Just a moment there I thought she had left but I happen to know her too well to know she would tell me before leaving.

"Morning Mom" I say with bloodshot eyes
Everything's actually blurry
"Morning sweetheart"
I didn't realise how blurry it was until I took in her featured.She smelled so different.
I think she got a new expensive cologne. Before I could stop myself I detached myself from the hug and she flinched,I could tell she was hurt.

Great job,what were you thinking withdrawing yourself like that,my subconscious mentally scolded me.

Only this time she was actually right...I wasn't thinking straight.

"Mom I'm so sorry I didn't mean it that way" I rush the words
Her eyes are glossy I can tell because she's blinking rapidly to shield back her tears.

"You look so beautiful, so different more than usual, that's the reason I pulled out of the hug. I didn't mean it like this" I state gesturing to the distance I left between the two of us.

I'm still confused and surprised by her sudden change in looks.

Get a grip lady,my subconscious brings me back to reality and I mentally shake my head to get her out.

This isn't the same woman who goes to work in sleeves and plaid skirts,not to forget her Tom's.She barely has makeup on,she only add a little colour on her cheeks and always has her hair in a ponytail.

Now she moved from all that to full on makeup,hair down with curled ends and a dress.......where the heck did she get that dress from and those heels dammmn she must her months salary on this whole makeover.

Why? For what?Is she going on a date?
Excitement takes over and a smile plays on my lips.

"Mom are you expecting someone or are you going on a date?"Her cheeks flush and it's in a hot shade of pink despite the highlighter she has on.
"A date, of course not"she scoffs

Why did she emphasize only on the date suggestion.That must be it my subconscious convinces me.
And besides I can tell she's lying because her eyes are literally scanning the whole room and she doesn't even glance at me once.

"Mommmm?"I persuade once again to get her to talk.
"Okay,okay"she looks nervous"yes I am". She's looking down at her feet resting on those hot silvers heels she has on,I wonder if she's comfortable...she barely wears heels but it still looks so elegant with the white dress she has on.

"With who?"
I can tell she thinks in way too nosey.
"It's with christian"she says with a sigh.

What?she has got to be kidding me.

"Mr christian"I nearly choke through the words.
"Your boss....you're going on a date with your boss?"I rudely remark at her.
"Is something wrong with me going out with my boss young lady?" She crosses her arms on her chest.

I know she's offended by my outburst but she's not right either but durrr you can't just go on dates with your boss,what would people think if they knew you go on dates with a multi millionaire who lost his wife two years ago not to forget he has a daughter as old as I am.

I really should let her have it right not but instead I sigh in defeat.

"No,If you like him,you can have a go at it" She's still my mom and I can't hurt her feelings like this.
"Thanks darling" She pulls me in for a hug,this time I don't pull away like a psycho the way I did the first time.
"Just be careful mom" I close my eyes and take in her scent.
"Mom?"
"Yeah sweetheart?"
"This whole makeover must have cost you a fortune right?"
She laughs a low laugh
"Christian paid for it"I can't tell she's smiling from behind her hair.
"You smell really nice too"I let her go and she smiles then I smile back at her.
"I can't say the same for you though,go have breakfast and take a shower"she laughs and I join in then she walks out I the kitchen.
"I'll be back soon sweetheart I love you" She says from the front door.
"Love you too mom... have fun" I yell so she can hear me.

Eeeish I think Mom was right
I better go get a shower and do whatever I planned on doing before I came down in the first place.
