2021-09-13 20:37:53I've been like this for most of the time mom has been here, telling me all about her Mr Perfect.
Okay, I love my mom but gosh, the way she has been carrying on about this person makes the idea of meeting him one thing to dread doing. I feel like she's trying way too hard for me to be impressed, which is not the case at the moment.
I mean I'm not very fond of the way their relationship seems to moving , its pace proves quite fast and I don't want my mom to get burnt and crash like her past relationships, where I was one left to help her get back onto her feet. In those times I've found myself neither having a choice but to be dragged into watching soppy romantic movies, eat alot of junk food and listen to heartbreaking songs.
No, not this time. I can't go through all that again.
Placing all concerns aside and actually taking a good look at my mom now, I notice something I haven't seen before, it's different, making her look different.
There's a spark in her eyes when she talks about this guy and the teen girl giddiness that bubbles out of her, is quite refreshing to see, especially how content she looks, even though she seemed so tired and worn out when that roof incident happened.
" What?" She asks, finally taking notice of my staring for too long.
" Nothing, so uh, when can I see this Keith?" Right after I say this, she perks up with eyes having widened in surprise.
" You want to meet him?" She looks so taken aback right now that if I wasn't nervous and serious at the same time, I'd find her expression quite amusing.
" I'd rather get it over and done with and finally put this to rest, don't you think?" I quirk my brow.
" Bea, you don't have to meet him so soon if you aren't comfortable yet." She covers my hand.
" Mom, let's face it, you want us to meet already. Its pretty much eating at you that we haven't met." I state.
" Okay yes." She lets out in exasperation as if the mere thought of keeping it in is exhausting.
" Aha." I smirk at her.
We remain in silence for a while with us just staring at each other until she's the first one to break the contact.
"Luke came to see me the other day." Her head snaps into my direction and if I had not been paying close attention to her, I would have missed the slight frown she just displayed before she covered it up with a small smile.
" What does he want?" I frown slightly when I hear a small bite out of the question.
"He apologized." I say slowly, trying to make sense of her attitude right now.
" Hmm."
"Mom you don't have to pretend that you are thrilled about this, I know that you have mixed feelings about him at the moment, just like me."
" I know honey, it's just that talking about him and him visiting after such a long time, brings back so many memories especially - "
" That night." We say in unison.
I watch her try to hold back tears and I cover her hand with mine and give it a small squeeze, earning me a nice smile from her .
My mom checks her watch and sighs, before she looks back at me again.
" I know, you have to go." I say, watching her rise to her feet.
" Oh honey, I miss you so much." She says, pulling me in for a hug.
" I miss you too." I tell her.
"Then come back home." She pleads.
My breath hitches with words getting stuck in my throat. Still, I have no answer.
********
There is light atmosphere with mac and cheese for me and Connor, who has just learnt that I got our dinner already.
He frowns slightly, not really knowing what to say and deciding to just join me." Bon appeti." I say before digging in.
I can feel his eyes on me, pulling me out of my mac and cheese moment.
" What?" I finally ask.
He shakes his head slightly before digging in. I notice a small smirk play at his lips and I can't help grinning too.
With that we both eat in silence, passing occasional glances to each other.
" Friends?" He says, pointing to his plate.
"Friends." I state with a grin on my face.

NOW YOU SEE ME. Chapter 44.
18 years old.Today's my birthday and already I've been bombarded by birthday wishes from my mom and everyone else, when I mean everyone else , it includes Fiona and Candy, who's presents I've received early in the morning, including their phone numbers, email addresses and social media contacts.I swear when they got the news of me finally having a phone, it was like I won a million dollars or something, they were already making plans for updating me on the 21 century, and me being out there, though I've warned them countless times to not even dare try.I can't believe I've finally reached this age and am able to make enough decisions of my life, not that I will go clubbing and acting wild ,no, but being this age shows that I've grown and that my mom, might start viewing me more as a young woman than her baby girl.Looking ahead at the ocean and admiring it , as the sun takes its place, just the sou
NOW YOU SEE ME. Chapter 43.
~ Caleb.....I could be saying hi and asking about life right now ,but no, I'll just get straight to the point.Throughout all these years, I've gone through the worst of things in my life, adding that incident with you and your friends or accomplices as I'd prefer calling them. I've done all I could to erase that part of my life, I've failed, failed until I could rise upon that memory and situation, I have to say thank you to Connor for that big part.Seeing you again after so long, brought so much back , especially the fear I had each time I'd be consumed by the nightmares, looking back now, I realize that seeing you again, might have had me fearing for my life, yet finally facing my fears and past.I don't want you to apologise anymore, I don't need that so I have a peace of mind, expressing myself this way is a start for me to look into the future. I forgiv
NOW YOU SEE ME. Chapter 42.
Running, running and running, not getting to my destination but still energy being within me, I wake up still in the dark and being all sweaty, from my dream. I can't exactly call it a nightmare because of it being not scary but I can't say it's entirely a dream, because of how real it felt.Walking out of my room, tip toeing around so I won't wake my mom, I'm about to head towards the stairs, passing her room only to stay rooted by her ajar door when I hear her talking, I'm quite sure she's on the phone, with Keith maybe.I know it's rude to listen in on someone's conversation, especially your parent and I wouldn't be doing it, if it weren't for her mentioning my name." I honestly don't know what to do, " she says, sounding resigned.With the silence ,I'm quite sure that she's listening to whoever's on the line. " I've tried talking but she won't talk to me, Vicky her guardian from the centre came
NOW YOU SEE ME. Chapter 41.
Silence. That's all there is and was throughout my trip back home.My heart has been broken and hurt before but at this moment , having to break up with the boy I love, then leaving and ending my adventure like it meant nothing when it did, no words can describe the emotional state I'm in.As much as I'm hurting and all, and throughout all of this, no matter how much I'm hurt by my moms actions, some of what she's said is right. Yes, travelling and falling in love was something new and exciting, but I also have to put her first, the adventure was bound to come to an end soon, though I didn't expect it to turn out the way it did.Caleb's return or shall I say visit is one of the major factors and parts, of my adventure turning sour, I've known that one day I'd bump into all those who've messed my life but not so soon. You know, when your life has been a rollercoaster ride, you tend to just accept it and place it as a normality. My mom was right, I was
NOW YOU SEE ME. Chapter 40.
' It has to be. It's for the best.'My mom's words keep on ringing in my head while my eyes are focused on the door, waiting at any minute for him to show up.Not long after thinking this, the door opens and in comes Connor. This is what I've been dreading yet knowing full well that it has to be done.So before I jump right into this, My mom had a lot to talk about, well more like argued, chatted and then argued again and yep you guessed it, it's all got to do with Connor and my trip here in Miami.I can recall her words, hitting me so hard that I found myself in tears." Bailey, I can't lose you and you being here almost had me lose you. Hospital visits, I can't go through that again." She said, shaking her head." I'm sorry mom, " I tried apologising.' I know that travelling and doing this seemed like an adventure, I'm glad that yo
NOW YOU SEE ME. Chapter 39.
What a rush, the beach, the feel of the water and those waves.I might be alone and experiencing this alone but damn I'm having such a blast, the sun is setting and I really hope he'll be back soon, since he's surely missing out on a lot of fun.What I love about being in the water is how freeing it is, being controlled by the water yet feeling on top of the world while gaining such a rush. I'm quite sure my voice is pretty much disappearing, and the cold is creeping in. Being in the water, the sun disappearing and me in this space, absorbing what I can while freely letting go. What more could I want?It's truly a gift to be able to let go and have a moment to be in your own space at your own time.Sighing after a minutes debate of whether I should call him or not, I groan out, feeling undecided.I'm already done with my swim and it was so refreshing, though it would have been cool i
