Chapter 10

“oh your girlfriend? Why am I hearing about this now?” this is not going to be good. Scott just messed up a good day for me

‘uh..mom..”

“uh uh, we are talking about this and don’t give me that look young lady” uh there is a reason she is my mother since she can clearly read me more than anyone else

“I know we do mom”

“young man can you give us a minute? Thank you” she didn’t even wait for him to reply she just shoed him with her hands and I believe nobody have ever done that to him but this is my mum we are talking about that don’t have regard for whosoever.

“yes ma’am” he says giving me the look that says ‘is she serious right now’ but he can’t say anything infront of her.

“mom, since we have a lot to talk about how about we do that when I get home? I think its better” because I know exactly what the talk is all about.

“you know what? I think that’s better since your dad will be around” she said with a smug smile. Sneaky old lady but she’s still my best friend when she wants to be.

“no mom, this is supposed to be between us”

“no uh, don’t get me involved in ‘the talk’ it between your dad and you” isn’t she the one that wants to tell my dad? She’s pure evil and I can feel Scott’s eyes moving from me to my mom.

“but you are the one involving dad, this could be between you and I mom”

“I am not getting involved and that is final” and I really feel like strangling her right now because I am about to have the same conversation I had with my dad two years ago before coming here. Coming here was an issue on its own and I had to use every trick in the book to convince them to allow me come here, I even had to swear to every god I knew of and promised to stay at least one meter from any white guy.

“ok, mom talk to you later. Love you”.

“love you too sweetie and take care young man”

“you too ma’am” and…that went as expected

“ okay can you tell me what the hell was that? Your mom was all smiles but I can tell she doesn’t like me”

“ ‘that’ is something you shouldn’t worry yourself about and don’t worry about my mum she doesn’t like any guy” except one in particular but lets not get into that.

“at least tell me what ‘the talk’ is all about? Cause it sounds scary” I really like sexy Scott, cute Scott even jealous Scott but right now I don’t like nosy Scott one bit.

“you sound like you don’t get along with your mum much” really ? he doesn’t even know anything about me

“that’s not true ,you don’t even know anything about our relationship”

“ whoa , are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong?” it’s not really his fault but I’m cranky now and it’s easy to blame him than not.

“not really…I don’t know...you were the one that introduced yourself as my boyfriend”

“technically I Introduced you as my girlfriend”

“don’t try to play with me “

“calm down I’m a celeb and I didn’t think she would react that way, that’s not the reaction I usually get from people”. I roll my eyes

“I guess you are not getting this, I’m from Nigeria and parents there don’t care who you are when their daughter is involved.”

“okay I’m sorry I shouldn’t have done that”

“ I think I should go” maybe getting involved with him is a mistake after all.

”what about our date?” Is he serious?

”It doesn’t matter now, I shouldn’t have come here. It was a total mistake and it’s going to never disastrous if we go down this road.” I didn’t allow him to talk and I left
