Night Temptation

Zenni POV I wake to the sound of mom knocking on my door “good morning my sunshine. Time to get up today is a special day” she beams her words wake me up before answering her a yawn escapes my mouth “I’m awake mom” I say low but still loud enough, so she hears me. A groan escapes my mouth “good my sunshine. Breakfast in twenty” her tired voice speaks “Zenni be downstairs in fifteen. Be fully dressed and have your weekend bag for the weekend down with you” mom says through the door a deep sigh sounds from her as if she wanted to say more to me. But then she walks away from my door. She walks down the stairs I hear her steps my mom has a funny walk and a loud one. I snuggle at my unicorn pillow bob, he is the only guy I like he was a gift from my father a father that I haven’t ever met it’s weird I want to meet him, but mom always says it’s because of his work he isn’t here with me and her. I snuggle bob and pull him even tighter as I hug him dearly he is a neon pink pillow unicorn with stars on and little nods on. I pull the duvet away in a fast move I lay bob on the bed I sit up and stretch my arms, legs, and back, then I stand up in a quick loud jump and set the course for my closet I find my big weekend bag forward and places it on the bed and put bob in it the I set the course to my bathroom. There I find my toilet bag forward I starts packing it with my princess toothbrush, hairbrush, my perfume mom got me my last birthday Channel No some hair accessories and a bottle shampoo and balsam I close it shut I remember to take two bath towels also. I walk back to the bed and places my things into the bag placing them beside bob I think about my dream bits and pieces comes back something about a woman Isha or Nisha, she wants me, and she misses me she looks oddly familiar to me. It feels good, wrong, scary, and existing all at once it is very overwhelming. I tune back to the now and I walk to my walk-in closet and start gathering the clothes I have to bring for the weekend, as that is done I pick out my favorite bra and panties they are a matching pair, I take them on and then my knee-length purple dress on and matching shoes on. I quickly makes it to my bed again I lay down my clothing I look through the bag and there is all the cloth I will need for the weekend trip, bob is in there, I pack a good book, my iPod and phone, the chargers, and earphones some extra shoes and lastly I grab my box with my hidden treasure in it. I close the bag shut I lay down on the bed a moment thinking about my dream that woman she looks beautiful but she has a scary vibe coming from her it scares me a bit. I jump up in a quick movement shrugging it off, I pick the bag up I then run out my room and downstairs. I place my bag at the front door and I then run into the kitchen where mom is she is making my favorite breakfast “morning mom that smells so good” I say with a glad voice I pull out a chair and sit down. Mom has already set the table she tips the frying pan on the side and the pancake slips onto the big stack she has already made “morning my sunshine and happy fourteen birthday” mom says to me with a mix of happy and sadness voice as she turns to me and the table where she places the dish with all the pancakes on she pulls out her chair and sits down next to me. “Eat birthday girl” mom says and takes a pancake for herself I smile wide and takes a few pancakes on my plate. Mom doesn’t say much I can upscale that there is much on her mind as I don’t want to upset her I remain quite as well and just eat pancakes till I’m full “thank you. It was the best birthday breakfast ever but I’m all full now” I say smiling ear to ear assuring her that I am plus I want her to be here in the now with me. She nods her head and smiles back something is up with her she isn’t usually this quiet. Mom stands up “be a darling and clean this up and I will go get myself ready, we leave in one and a half-hour” she says and leaves “kay mom I will. Thank you I love you to the moon and back” I say but I’m not sure she heard me I push the chairs into the table’s edge and start taking off the table and cleaning mom’s mess up. After that I go to the living room and watch some tv as I wait for mom to come downstairs again, I watch a whole episode of the originals my favorite vampire and werewolf series. When I hear mom coming down the stairs I turn off the tv and get up from the sofa “I’m ready” I quickly says she just smiles and walks over to me and she sits down and pulls me down to sit next to her “Zenni, you are my whole life. I love being your mother” she smiles and sobs “you are so special, don’t ever forget that. Promise me” she adds and find a medium-sized box forward and hands it to me “I know mom. You tell me every day and every day I promise you that” I say and lean forward and place a small kiss on mom’s cheek. Her eyes become a bit more alive after that “good girl. Now open it” she giggles and half sobs I can see she has been crying more than just what she did now I think to myself as I open up this box. I gasp and blink my eyes a few times and just stare inside the box. Inside it is a new dress in silver and a pair of high heels I always teased mom about I wanted and my grandmother’s purple diamond necklace, earrings, and ring “thank mom I stammer as I can feel tears burn and trying to escape I hug mom tightly. She hugs me back “all for you my love. Now pack it into your bag and let’s go we have a long drive ahead of us,” she says with a happy cling in her voice I do as she asks without any questions. Mom goes to the kitchen and she packs a little bag with some snacks and beverages for the long trip. We walk outside arm in arm mom is more like herself now finally I giggle in my head. Today is a gorgeous sunny day as all day is at least thirty degreases I enjoy the weather as mom checks out the house that all windows are closed, lights are turned off, and then mom locks the door “looks like you have been a good girl this year” she teases me I grin “of course mom. Always” I answer her we walk to the car arm in arm, I sit in the passenger’s side today I’m old enough to sit here normally I sit in the back behind mom’s seat. I sit enjoy the view out of the cars front window mom gets in sits down slams the car door shut which startles me mom turns and looks at me in my eyes “are we ready big girl” she asks I nod my head and mom turn on the car and not long after we back out the driveway and start driving toward our destination. Mom looks at me I glance back she then smiles big and wide her smile makes me smile “what is it mom” I say she shakes her head “I’m just enjoying the sight of my daughter that soon will be a grown woman” she says sounding all nostalgic and sad again. We drive out of our little town and on our way to the highway, but from our town and to the highway there are almost seventy kilometers mom had let me decide the music today it is odd, but I guess it is because it’s my birthday. Before hitting the highway mother drives in at a gas and grocery store and pulls into this little shop and gas stop. “I need to fill the car up, here go buy some candy for the trip,” mom says and hands me a hundred bucks “thanks” I say and jump out of the car as fast as I can run inside the store the man there is behind the register gives me a look I just smile and he smiles back I take a basket I walk through the store and puts the things in I need s***h want some chips, candy, and chocolate in there. I made my way through the store and now are up at the register where the man stands “wow that’s a lot of sweets” the man says as I take the things up and onto the register’s conveyor belt as all is up I smile to the man again and answer “yeah my mom and I are going on a long road trip” the man beeps every think and packs it into a paperback and nod at my words “that will be ninety-nine bucks” I hand him the money I have “you can keep the change” I say sweet the man smiles wide and a little creepy at me I was about to grab my items but the man grabs my arm his eyes has this light burn in them. He look around the store and out the window then he dragged me around a blind corner I’m frozen with fear he enjoys this. He kneels down to my heigh and kisses me deep and rough he moan as I just stand there the kiss makes me feel some weird things, things getting hot and wet he held me close to his body with his one arm around my waist and I could feel something in his pans grow as we kissed and he took my hand and made me feel it, rub it and it felt big and hard, he kissed me a long time and at one point he slip his hand up under my dress and touched my private spot he made a press on it with his finger and circle movements on it I made me even hotter, wet and this weird sound came out of me like a groan or moan like he did but I sound different than he did. He pulled away from the kiss he passed me a lollipop I take it without saying a word, and I ran up to the register and took my items with me. Mom looks at me then she says “there you are Zenni” I nod as I open up the car door and jump in on my seat mom follows my lead “so what did you get us” she asks me I tell her what I got for us and hands her, her favorite chocolate bar she thanks me as she takes on the seatbelt on. She starts up the car and we continued our road trip. As mom focuses on driving and directions I focus on handing mom snacks and beverage before she can ask about it plus I control the radio and makes sure it plays music all the time for there is nothing worse than when the radio hosts talking. At some point I fall asleep as we drive, driving always makes me tired ever since I was a baby mom always teases me with I hate it. Mom thinks it is because of her and that I know I’m safe with her. Someone pushes my shoulder gently and moms sweet voice says “Zenni wake up. Wake up my sunshine we will be there soon” mom adds I open my eyes and take a look at mom she sends me a wide smile “she lives” mom jokes gosh sometimes mom’s humor is just so dumb. I yawn and straighten my body without taking my eyes off mom and therefrom all just went to s**t for the next thing I remember is my mom’s bloody face and cold eyes staring into mine, mom died before my eyes I still hear her raspy breathing and her trying to speak telling me something. I was so young, scared I still remember how I cried and panicked as I tried shaking mom awake again screaming her name and begging her to wake up I know now that she was dead but then at that very moment I didn’t know it. I somehow managed to get myself out of the car and grab my things and then made my way toward the city and away from what is a hundred percent the worst day in my life honestly it is still a blur to this very day, except in my dreams there it haunts me every night it plays in my mind. I ran away from that horrible sight as fast as I could luckily I didn’t run long before meeting a girl, Nikta is her name she helped me, took me in and took good care of me, and showed me a way to survive.
