I got dressed up and prepared to drop Vivian off at school.
"Where are you going to?" Mum asked me.
"Uhmmmm.... I'm dropping of Vivian at school." I said.
"There's no need for that. I am going right now." Mum said. "I'll take her myself."
"No, I haven't taken my daughter to school in a while. I will like to feel like a responsible mother and do the needful." I said.
Mum took a step back.
And then I realized that I had been too mean. I didn't mean to and I felt terrible.
I didn't know how to start apologizing so I just stood where I was and then I picked up Vivian's things and went to get her so we could leave.
When I got Vivian and we passed by, mum didn't say anything. She just let us pass. I felt so terribly guilty.
"Mummy you taking me to school today?" Vivian asked me.
"You bet I am sweetie." I said as I put her safely in the children's seat and then Kissed her head.
I went to the front seat and took my place.
I started the engine and drove off.
I was so worked up because of the decision I had decided to make. Talking to Lily had given me some Ideas, even though I was not really keen about it.
I dropped off Lily at school and went on my way.
I drove down the road and I felt the goosebumps rise on my skin.
I went down the familiar rode and I came to an ultimate stop.
I looked up and saw that I was parked right in front of the gate. I swallowed heavily and found a space to park along the road and then I came out.
I walked towards the gate and memories started to come flooding down towards me.
I remembered how he had brought me here.
"You're going to love it." He said to me once we were at their gates.
I frowned. "I don't know."
He laughed at me and then cupped my cheek. "Why are you being shy?"
"I don't know, I'm not really sure about this." I said.
"It's my mum isn't it?" He asked me.
I looked at him. I didn't want to hurt his feelings by telling him I didn't like his mum.
"Is it my mum?" He asked me.
I bit my lip. "Yeah. It is."
He chuckled. "Don't worry she isn't around. Plus yeah, I pretty much understand how you feel. My mum is really protective of me."
"You haven't brought a girl to her before have you?" I asked him.
He waved his hands off and laughed. "No, I haven't. I was the playboy type."
I liked the fact that he was honest with me, that he didn't hide what his past was like.
I looked at him with love in my eyes.
"So how I know if your past is forever your past?" I asked him.
He looked at me and it was as though his sea green eyes were boring right through the depths of my soul.
"Because you are my present and my future." He told me.
I was speechless and then he set his lips over mine and covered them completely.
Cian had been my first kiss and yes, most people at school said that kissing was interesting. More than half of the time, Lily wasted no time in insulting every boy she kissed.
It was either that they had no idea on how to control their saliva or they always used their teeth. With all thanks to my lovely best friend, I had imagined that kissing was going to be something very terrible and disgusting.
"Don't worry Selena, you might be luckier than me." Lily would say, but then that didn't help combat how I felt about making out.
But the moment Cian had kissed me, everything had changed. It was like nothing that I had ever expected. It was fireworks and shooting stars all together. I had been scared that I was going to mess it up, but surprisingly I didn't and I had never for once gotten over our kiss.
He let go of me and pecked my forehead after the kiss and drove me into his home.
There were fountains and a large garden with flamingos. It was a day that I would never forget. He showed me every single part of the house. We had laughed and had picnics and he had even tried to teach me how to ride a bike, but then It had turned out to be a complete disaster.
"Don't worry you're going to make up for it when we start driving our Teslas together." He said as he dropped a kiss for me on my forehead.
I smiled at the memory and then I was woken up with a start by a blaring horn.
I turned and saw a car right behind me.
The glass was wound down and then I saw the terror herself. Diana Stonewell. The queen of all witches.
"Well, well, well... some paupers don't just get it do they?" She asked with a raised brow. "You still look the exact same way I had first met you.
I was about to open my mouth when she stopped me instantly,,
"Oh stop that It's not a compliment." She said.
I felt my heart pierced. Of course, she had never changed and she never will.
"What do you want street rat?" She asked me.
"I came to see your plastic face." I replied nastily. "Did you get another face lift?"
She looked at me, her face expressionless.
"Yes, are you jealous?" She replied me.
I shrugged. "Unlike people like you, I am very much contented with what I have."
She eyed me.
I had thought that maybe Lily was right. That maybe I could have come up to the Stonewells and come to an agreement for Vivian's sake at least.
She deserved a much better future. Than the one that I was offering her. I had nothing to offer her except love, while they had all the money in the world.
But looking at Diana right now, I saw a heart full of stone. Even if she did eventually take care of Vivian, she was going to change my daughter, I knew it. There and then I decided that I never wanted them to know that I had a child. They didn't deserve it.
Not Cian, not his mother, nor any other member of his family.
"Mum what's going on?" I heard a female voice in the car say.
Cian had always told me that he had a sister, but that she was frequently abroad. I had never gotten to see her, but he always spoke abut her.
I didn't wait to see her, I walked away from their car, got into mine and drove off.
