Chapter 7
The way this woman examines everything in this grocery store both amazes, embarrasses me.
Sometimes I wish I could've had a different mother to be born to. But I couldn't choose my family but she does have her good moments especially when it came to accepting me for me. Even though I couldn't at times. And her personality because it always had to be her way or highway as she stated so much as I grew up.
Going up the grocery aisles, she sweared by everything she is. That my food buying habits were unhealthy, I'd drop dead by forty. Just tossing in these boxes of food that said low sodium or no gluten, blah blah blah.
And the way she talked about things began to go in one ear, out the other. Ugh... that's why I hate grocery shopping in the first place, it's probably because of her.
Finally we made it to the vegetables and fruits part of the store. And I decided I was ready to handle this part of the shopping trip.
" Mother, I can do my own shopping now. You can take a seat at the front of the store. Okay," I told her politely hoping she would take a hint.
" Hush ! I'm going to finish what I started then we'll get back home, I'll cook you up something nice. Alright, " she smiled that way she knew that would have me backing down.
I just can't say no to her. It's not easy to negotiate with her. But with my dad, I had determination to ask him to help me to get an apartment. I only had to ask one time. I studied super ass hard for an scholarship to get away from this woman. To taste some freedom. And here I am getting pulled back into her clutches. So I told her I'll go sit in the front of the store, waited for her.
How sad is my life
»»»»»»»»»»»»»
At home now, I was trying to watch a movie on Netflix. I was barely paying attention to it as I thought of Alex, how he's handling the run in with my mom earlier. I would call him to check but I didn't have his number or any social media anything of his. I considered going to check on him personally but this woman would be super nosy. Of course.
All up in my business like she usually is. Then I thought of poor Alex being subjected to her once again but then I started thinking of myself, wondering when she was going to leave so I can live my life.
" Honey dinner's ready ! " my mother announced, instantly I started to smell the aroma Italian spaghetti coming from my small operational kitchenette.
I could say from many of the things I dislike about my mom, I loved her dearly. She's one good cook I can say that she's very good at.
" Mom I'll be over in a sec, it smells good too, " I said as I complimented her, I powered down the TV.

After dinner my mom announced, " Well I should head home Willow tree, " looking down and tired for some reason even before I could thank god for her saying this. I felt kind of guilty because she hasn't called me by that name since I was a child.
" Leaving so soon ? " I asked noticing that the sky was completely darken now as I looked out the window to the right of me.
" Yes. I have work in the morning, " she sighed then said, " Something that little gold digging bitch never heard of, " referring to my father's second wife.
" Okay then, thanks for dinner, I'll clean up. "
" Damn right you will, " she said getting up, coming around the table the table to hug me which she's hasn't done in awhile. It had me wondering. Was something wrong ?
Because of all the affection stopped once she got wind of my dad marrying a child as she likes to point out every chance she gets.
" Is something wrong mom ?" I asked out of curiosity and concern.
" Nothing just tired, " she said gathering her things, headed to the door.
" Okay if you're sure. "
Then we left the apartment together to the parking lot. Because I wanted to see her off to be on the safe side.

In the car now, she rolled the window down and said " Love you Willa, tell your friend that I'm sorry, " I was shook because it was a first for me. She rarely ever said sorry, meant it. And how I could tell, it was because of the expression on her face.
" Okay, okay be off young lady, " I joked as she nodded, rolled the window back up, pulled off and out the parking lot.
And when I turned around to head back, as I was walking, thinking things over, not paying attention. I bumped into someone, looked up. It was Alex, he pulled me into his arms, hugged me.
" Hey Willa, " as he moved in closer as if to come in for kiss.
He did.
Sorry for delay on this one 😔
I think I finally know where I'm going with this story. At least I hope 😭 because I've changed this chapter around so many times.
