I am Incubus mate

-' darling’- my mother almost shouted through the restaurant. Of course, she couldn’t sit on her arse and I needed to travel to see her. She kisses the air next to my right and left cheek. As for the thousand years old demon, she couldn’t wear any decent clothes as other mothers do. She wore white cotton, loose trousers I believe from the newest Armani collection. To my disapproval, she also wore a voile black silk blouse from Chanel I think.

-' mother what are you wearing?' - I hissed through my teeth.

-' what is your problem son?'- she asked and the smile which was on her lips not long time ago evaporated

-' mother you are not single and not very young anymore. Is dad knows what are you wearing?'- I asked again and couldn't understand how she can't see any problem with her clothes.

- 'it's not your problem as thankfully my husband is a very good man. I come here with my besties your auntie Ann and Claire.'- she said with stormy eyes. Normally that should be a clue to back up but I was so in a rage that I continued

-' of course, your husband loves you because he is an old i***t who thinks that you also love him!'- I said and the next second I felt a slap on my left cheek.

-' you are my son and I love you but now you are pushing your limits. I do love your father and for him, I changed my life. It doesn't matter what clothes I put on it's matters where I will take them off and for the last 40 years I always take them off in my own bedroom in front of my husband and your father. If this is why you come here you can go back as you are not exactly welcome here anymore!' -she finished and turned around ready to leave

-' mum wait! I am sorry please give me 5 minutes and then you can come back to finish your meal with your friends'- I waited if she will turn back to me

-' ok what is it?" - my mother asked and took me under my arm and we seated on the small table at the bar. We were in Metz in one of the poshest or I should say most expensive restaurants in the area which was Le Pampre. I looked at her again and now noticed that she almost not were any makeup and still had some accents in her favourite red colour. Today she had satin red pumps with gentle silver and Swarowski chains from Jimmy Choo and a red baguette handbag with silver shining details from Chanel. She really looked elegant, not vulgar which I thought at the beginning.

-' so tell me my son what I can do for you?'- she asked and looked deep into my black eyes

-' mum you know that I want to be like your father and my granddad Baal'- I started and looked at her. I could swear that I noticed some uneasiness.

-' yes son to my grief you decided to be like your grandfather but son you don't understand and you don't know everything'- she started and I knew that today is the day when the truth will come out.

ELLA

I woke up with a massive headache and tried to retrieve my memory from last night. But the more I tried to concentrate the more my head ached. I get up from bed and went to the toilet to flush my face with some fresh water.

-‘ looked at you?'- I asked myself when I looked in the bathroom mirror. I had black circles under my eyes and messed hair. I looked like a panda bear after a long night's party with their favourite bamboo.

-‘ water’- I whisper to myself and slowly moved to the kitchen. Just when I passed next to my laptop I curiously moved the mouse as I noticed that it was still on.

-‘ I am not drinking any more Prossecco and other bubble s**t’- I whisper to myself. At the same minute screen lit up and I saw my Whatsup page open. Then my memories from the night before started to come back.

-‘ poor Mia. I need to do something’- I took a gulp of the water and another one with some painkillers and I get back to bed.

I woke up again when was getting darker outside. I checked the time and that was almost 5 pm. I felt hungry like very hungry. I grab my phone and called my favourite takeaway restaurant. 20 minutes later I could enjoy my Kung Poo chicken with rice. After I was full I started thinking about my conversation with Mia and her strange engagement.

-‘ I need to figure out something, it’s not fair for any of them'- I told myself. The only person I could think of was my sister but she went to Japan with Yann, her boyfriend. As I couldn’t remember for how long she went I decided to send her a message, just a simple one.

‘Hi, sis I hope that you are well?, please call me when you can.xxx Ella’

Not long after I send my text I had a reply from Kate

‘are you ok? I am still in Japan and will call next week, xxx Kate’

Now I had a week to figure out what to do with Mia and Ugo. I could swear that I heard little cogs in my head but the more I focused on the case the bigger headache come to get me. I went to bed with idea that tomorrow is another day. Thankfully I still had a full weekend before I will start my new work.
