In Love With My Best Friend

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: DADDY ISSUES

Saints Pov:

My mom finishes packing up the eggs and stands on the other side of the island.

She sighs deeply then says "listen I don't know how much you heard but I will not apologize for what I thought because I have a right to my opinion,"

What a nice apology I think but then she continues...

"but I will say i am sorry for talking about you like that behind your back. I know you are probably mad and offended right know but you have to understand that my opinion was out of love. I was worried for you and you have to understand that I want you to make the right decisions in life."

"You mean control me." I fire back.

She raises her voice and responds "I am trying to be civil here so don't get sassy! I was right you did break up with her so don't even try to deny that you did exactly what I was afraid that you were going to do! This was your own fault! If you don't want me to think those things about you or you are going to get butt-hurt every time I do then don't give me a reason to!!"

Just as I was about to yell back at her Julia comes in the kitchen with Mia and a middle-age looking man.

My mom stiffens and is frozen in her place. I think she's surprised about seeing Mia here but honestly I'm not. She always tries to come crawling back into my heart but I won't let her this time I tell myself.

"Richard" she says in a shaky voice.

So I guess she's not surprised about Mia. I think that she's talking to the middle aged man.

Julia stares at me probably expecting me to say something but idk what is going on here.

"Uh who is this boomer?" Mia asks.

"My name is Richard." He says with a hint of frustration in his voice

"Okay *Richard*" she returns in a equally frustrated voice "I went to talk to Julia here" she pauses for a short second and looks at Julia.

Me and her are both equally confused.

She continues "and this random dude was already by the door and by the look on Saint and Julia's face when he came in nobody else knows who he is either at I wrong?"

She wasn't wrong...but I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of knowing she was right.

"I do." my mom said in a tiny voice

"Who???" Me and Julia both say at the same time.

She looks me in the eye and says "Your Father."
