The Phone Call

Waiting for Brad to pick me up from school, my phone starts ringing. Doubt it's Brad though because I...wrecked his phone. I look at the number of who's calling me and it's a private number so I let it ring out. Couple minutes of waiting, Brad finally drives in and I make my way in the car.

"How was your day baby?" Brad asks.

"It was alright."

Brad then starts driving and I put my seatbelt on. "Can you drop me to my house? I think I want to spend the day with mom."

"Alright, onto your home."

"I just miss her that's all," I say smiling.

"I know, I'm not the one to keep you away from your mother."

"Scared of Mommy?" I say teasing him.

"Pshhh, I am not. I just respect her that's all."

"That's your cover for 'I'm scared'?" I giggle.

Brad chuckles.

We then reach my house and I exit the car.

"I'll see you tomorrow okay?"

"Okay babe, love you."

"Love you too."

As he drives off, I get inside and look around for mom. "Mom? Mom you here?" I look in the kitchen; no sign of her. In the bathroom, still no sign of her. I then check in her bedroom and see her reading a novel, more like the romance type. So I knock on her door and she looks up at me as her smile rises.

"Honey you're home," mom says and hugs me.

"Yes Mom. Ashley is here," I hug her back smiling.

We then stop hugging and just smiling like two weirdos.

"Today's our day Mom. Let's have a mom and daughter time together."

"Okay sweetie, what first?"

"I haven't had your delicious vanilla dream cake since forever. I'd love to bake it with you."

"Okay sweetie. Let's bake it together. The two of us together, the cake will taste much better."

We go into the kitchen as I gather the ingredients while Mom gather the cake equipments. We then start by whisking the flour in a bowl along with the baking powder, baking soda and salt.

"Sweetie, Pre-heat the oven at 350° Fahrenheit."

"Copy," I say and does so.

I then watch as Mom put what we whisked into a medium saucepan combining it with water and sugar then put it in the oven over medium high heat. Bringing it to a simmer and stirring until sugar dissolves about 1 minute. She then removes it from the oven and adds butter, stirring it until it melts.

Mom puts it in the fridge and tells me we have to wait for only about 20 minutes for it. So we use that little waiting time to watch television.

After 20 minutes past, Mom told me she'll finish making the cake and go into the kitchen to finish preparing it. Some time past then Mom call me to the table and I witness the Mother-Daughter power Vanilla Dream Cake.



"Wow, it looks so good!" I say in excitement.

"That's right. The power of Mother-Daughter!"

"Yeahh!!"

We high five each other and giggle as we cut our slices and eat. As we eat, we talk about when I was younger how I used to be a little troublemaker and all my embarrassing moments growing up. We talk and laugh throughout the whole day until about 8 in the evening.

"Okay Ashley dear, it's getting kinda late. Get some rest for school tomorrow."

"Awww I was having fun today. But okay Mom."

"I enjoyed today too dear, it's been the best since month. Thank you sweetie."

"Of course Mom," I say and hug her tightly.

"I love you so much sweetie."

"I love you too Mom."

We hug for a little more and I go straight into my bedroom.

Laying in bed in great happiness, I shut my eyes to end my night the same way until my phone rings. I look as it's the same private number calling me. I sigh a bit and answer the call.

"Hello?"

"Hey Ashley," it was none other than Derek himself.

"Oh my God Derek, you got tased. Twice. You got hit with a beer bottle, got socked by my boyfriend and also got embarrassed. What more pain could you possibly want?"

"I'm gonna claim you back you bitch."

"Oooh, you're the bitch who got at least 4 L's since month."

"You're gonna regret disrespecting me."

"How?"

My phone then vibrates and as I look at the video he sent me, my jaw drop looking at Vero and Hale..doing it..

"You're mine now bitch and if you EVER disobey me, it's spreading across the school."

Shit...
