My angel

chapter 7

- what have you planned for the holidays?

- I want to go see Miguel, I miss him. And also I will start looking for my real parents.

- and you know that for that you have to see your father again?

- I am ready to take the risk, I want to know my parents.

- okay no problem. But next week okay? This week, I will introduce you to my father and my mother-in-law, since the time she wishes to meet you. Don't be afraid, she's super cool.

- Okay.

- we're going to go tomorrow.

- Great.

- Yes.

Then johny started to cry in the bedroom and I went to pick him up.

- why are you crying my baby? I touched his forehead and he had a fever.

- shhh! Calm down my baby. I'm here now.

little by little, he started to calm down and I took him to his daddy who was the man of the match (lol)

- why he has a flare-up yet he was fine earlier.

He looked at me before smiling.

- Don't worry so much. He grows another tooth that's all

- and it's painful?

- for a baby since these are his firsts, it hurts a lot, believe me. But don't worry. I have a syrup for that in my office, hold it I'll go get it.

- Okay.

He came back with it and I gave it to him after he calmed down. I gave her milk before checking that her diaper was clean. He had red eyes and I just wanted to cry because he was usually jovial. He spent the evening in my arms.

- what are you doing?

- I'll take a picture of you, you're so cute.

- That is true. I really love this little one, I feel so good with him.

- like a mom! You know, you can be his mom for real. I'm not going to let you leave us and he's going to see you every day. In the end, he'll call you mom.

- no, I'm just a foreigner.

- no, for two months now, he's seen your face, he's got used to it.

- Yes. I'll put him to bed.

When I wanted to put him down he opened his eyes and grabbed hold of me

- I think it's dead.

The baby smiled.

- that's it kidding you.

And I went back to the living room with him, even though he fell asleep and I didn't go to leave him in the bedroom.

The next day, we went to Marrion's, I was nervous.

- distresses, they'll love you seriously.

- it's what you say.

He entered a residential area before standing in front of a gate which is automatically opened. He parked nearly four cars.

- Welcome to my home. Here, mom is even sitting outside.

When we got out, the old lady who was sitting in the garden under the umbrella stood up.

- son!

- mom.

She was walking towards him. When she got to his height, she hugged him tight.

- I miss you baby. When was the last time you visited us?

- oh mom work, you yourself know!

- where is john?

- with her aunt, I think they went shopping. For the kids she said but we both know it's for her.

-Yes you do not introduce me your lovely friend.

- if. this is my friend Michelle, the one I told you about.

- ah finally I meet the famous Mimi.

She gave me a hug and seemed warm.

- welcome to our family my daughter, consider yourself a member of the family okay?

- Yes.

- and call me mom. I know your story and I know that for some time you have been taking care of my son. since the time that I wanted to meet you but this killjoy always found a way to say no. Finally I see you and it must be said that you seem even prettier than in the words of the twins. Wow! Come on let's sit down and meanwhile,

Marrion, call your dad in there. At least you can get him out of his office.

She pulled me over to where I was sitting first and asked me to sit down.

- so my little one, tell me, what do you think of Marrion?

- sorry?

- what do you think of my son?

- I find him very nice, we can count on him. He saved me and I love him very much he is like a brother.

- my daughter, I like you. Don't think of Marrion as a brother, no, consider him a friend because the friendship between the two genders always turns into love. You will make a beautiful couple in my opinion.

I said nothing.

-My girl, don't let Marrion slip through your fingers. I know you are not materialistic. get it back quickly before it hits a diamond crusher okay?

- Okay.

- perfect!

Then Marrion walked up to us with a man. Then they approached, the more the man stared at me.

- daddy, I present to you Mimi.

- Ah yes! Nice to meet you my daughter, have we already seen each other by chance? Your head is telling me something.

-No, I don't think so, sir.

- call me daddy. Son, I must admit that you have a good taste for choosing your girlfriends. You got that from me. The proof, Lindi is breathtakingly beautiful.

- Oh! Paul!

The two old men gave each other too romantic looks.

Then the men took their places and we talked about everything and nothing. We had dinner there. His mother even wanted me to stay asleep but Marrion said no. We went to Marie to recover Johnny.

- we're going to your father next week, I'm too busy this week

- okay. Me I...

- you won't go there alone.

- Sir Yes Sir.

He pushed my head with a free hand.

- focus on the road, I'm too young to die.

- that's it! With your sixty years?

-Who are sixty years old?

- no one.

We burst out laughing at the same time. Then we went straight to sleep. The next day he went to work and I stayed at home. I cooked, cleaned up before I started watching TV with John. It was a very funny movie.

- ma-ma ma-ma.

I thought I was delusional but no he had said mama. Mama to me? He called me mama.

I was thrilled! I kissed him everywhere everywhere. And I didn't part with him. Marrion came to find us asleep, him on top of me.

He smiled before picking up johny who opened his eyes and started to cry.

- why are you taking it?

- I wanted to take him to the bedroom.

- no, leave him. He called me mom, do you realize that?

- that's great. I brought you presents.

In fact, in one hand, he held a package.

- what's this?

- for you, a new smart phone and for him, a new car.

- Great!

I squeezed it without consciously doing it.

- I think I will continue to bring gifts. If you still serve me like this.

- moron!

It was great we had fun before eating and going to sleep.

The next day was laura's day of death, the anniversary of her death and I was nostalgic all day. Marrion had gone to work and brought John for exams. I was sitting in the living room and I listened to "je me perdis by jenna lee" then, "i'll always remember you" by Miley cyrus. It made me cry even more. I spent the day there following sad songs and in the evening it was raining. I watched the drops that fell through the window. So I got up and went upstairs to the terrace of the building and started circling in the rain. I continued crying and then I lost my balance. And I fell into someone's arms.

- what's the matter with you? You're crazy?

- leave me, leave me alone!

I was screaming and chatting for him to leave me but instead he leaned over and silenced me with a kiss. A kiss that paralyzed me, that made me lose all my means in an instant.

- have you calmed down now?

- I ... I ...

- Great. You know what?

I shook my head.

- you are too beautiful so soaked. It's the truth.

- I...

- I think we should go out together.

- you ...

- we would make a beautiful couple and ...

I was lost

- in fact, let it go. I was joking.

And all the magic shattered.

- get into it, you risk falling ill if you are not already.

We returned and since that day, an embarrassment has been established between us. I couldn't stand him being near me. Because my breathing would speed up and my heartbeat too. I knew what was happening to me and I knew if I didn't talk about it I was going to explode so one day while we were in the living room I said:

- Marrion.

- Yes?

- I ... I'm in love with you.

- okay.

That's all he said, "ok" like I said hello. I went to my room to cry. At least he knew it now.
