369 Words
Our graduation from high school is only a month away and my fourteenth birthday will be in the same month. It's a month I have been happily looking forward to because that's the only time I will get to spend quality time with my family because my parents are always busy traveling around the globe in the name of
"business."
I was studying in my room when I heard the sound of mom's car outside.
I dashed out of my room straight to the garage and threw myself in her arms immediately when she got out of the car.
"How can you be missing mommy this much when I just spent only five hours outside?"
"Really mom, is five hours just?"
"Well I thought someone said this morning that "mom I hate you for waking me up this early"
"But you know I was just kidding."
"Awwwwwn, so my baby doesn't hate me?"
"You know I cannot hate you even if I wanted to. You make it too difficult for one to hate you."
"But come on mom, I have told you to stop calling me baby."
"I'm a grown up now."
"Even if you turn a thousand years, you will still be my baby cuz I'm your mother and it's really sad considering there is nothing you can do about it."
"But where is dad, normally he should be home by now."
"Yeah, he travelled to Paris for a meeting."
She said with an apologetic look in her eyes.
"Don't even bother saying something to defend him because I'm not bothered that he travelled without telling me."
"I mean, how many times has daddy told me before traveling?"
"Don't worry, I'm used to it already."
"still, I'm sorry on his behalf."
"Nevermind."
"Madam, miss, dinner is ready."
Aunt Mary called us for dinner.
"Okay Mary, we will be there in a jiffy."
"Just give me ten minutes and I will go upstairs and shower and come down for dinner."
"Okay madam."
"Would you like me to dish out your food now miss Elena?"
"No Aunt Mary, I will wait for my mom.
Thanks"
"Okay then I'll be in the kitchen. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay aunty."
