Mother’s Choice

Episode 13

MARY’S POV

i was so tire when i return to my hotel room, i my mind when back to what happened at th boutique, frowned my face the smile when the thought of Jerry came into my mind
i didn’t at feel anything for him, he was so calm and nice in her mother’s office but when he hugged me i felt butterflies in my Tommy, i didn’t want to let go but i was concious of my environment, his mother came and said what i regret hugging Jerry
“Mary what is wrong with you?” i asked myself aloud, it’s was obvious that i’m feeling something beyond crush, yeah i called crush, i decided to discuss it with Mike my ex now friend

Mum later came in the evening

Mom: my Princess how are you? How was your day!

Me: bad, i mean hectic and stressful
Mum smile and sat next to me putting my head on her laps while caressing my hair, i smiled when Jerry came into my mind

Mom: hey enough of day dreaming let’s go out and receive some fresh air
i rise an eye brow at my mum, she laughed heartedly

Mom: don’t worry you can tell mummy anything okay

She chuckled and i smiled, i wonder if she has magical powers to read my mind
Me: tell you what again?

i feign ignorant of what she was talking about but i wasn’t too sure of the feeling yet so i didn’t want to let my mum know yet
We left the hotel to a nice restaurant city mainland, we sat down and make our orders

Mum: care to tell me how was your first day as a cleaner?

i looked around for some seconds before i sigh escape my lips

Me: it’s wasn’t that bad although my senior boss is mean
She smiled as if she new that would happened, i careless because mum like smiling a lot even in situation worth frowning she’ll still be smiling

Me: you like smiling a lot mum, how do you manage to do that even in aweful situations?

Mum: that’s my secrete my Princess
The waitress arrived with our order half way to the meal, my eye traveled to a table at my far left, there was Jerry with a lady discussing and laughing, i looked closely to confirm that the lady is not Esther his sister
i felt pain inside but why did i feel pain we weren’t an item(dating),

Mum: Mary what is it? Do you know him? Who is he?

Me: mum please can we leave here now?

Mum stare at me for a while then beckon on the waitress to settle the bills, we drove out of the restaurant i thought mum is taking me to the hotel

She drove to a not so busy street with nice buildings, she park in front of a Green gate she ask me to follow her which i did, when we move inside the vicinity, mum walked to one of the door remove a key from her hand bag and unlock the door

The inside was nicely arrange with a nice painting, door&window blind and the cushion were already great i stare around for some minutes

Me: is this my new apartment?

Mum: exactly, now I’ll take you back to the hotel to get your things and return here
i smiled for the first time since we left the restaurant

Mum: from here to LadyMay Universal Boutique is 10minute drive
i chuckled at the way she said LayMay’s boutique, we drove back to the hotel pick my luggage and sign at the reception then leave to my new apartment

Jerry’s POV
Mum was unbelievable i became angry with her, i left the house before she could return from her office
i book a room at a very unique Hotel, later in the day Treasure called me to hang out with me i hesitate for a while before i gave in
She picked me up at a street near the hotel i lodge, she drove to crunchies were we sat down
My eye saw a lady who look like Mary then i wave it off, i conclude that people look alike a lot and she was with a woman not just a woman but a wealthy woman at that, so i concentrate with Treasure who was talking and I didn’t hear her
Minutes later they left, i didn’t get to see her face clearly my mind was far away from where i was, i kept thinking about the hugged i share with Mary it was still feeling as if it just happened
It’s something that i didn’t feel before not even when i was dating Samantha, i wanted to asked Treasure how to know if one is in love but i decide against it, i didn’t want to draw any attention to my personal life yet
The hang out didn’t go well as she expected because i was so down not on Mary’s thought but why my kind hearted mother became mean to others
Treasure dropped me at our Gate and drove off, i took a taxi back to my hotel room, i saw 32 missed calls from My mother, sister, auntydora and Grandma, i didn’t remember to carry my phone, i sigh and drop the phone back on the bed, took my towel to go take a shower
