My dad likes you

.Crina POV

I spent over ten minutes trying to select some suitable clothes for our holiday away . I really did not know what I was up to at this time. It had been several years for me without going for any weekend away or any kind of holiday .

My mind was always on one thing and that was to see that my baby boy lived the best of his life and in addition to that that he never lacked anything in his life.

That was how my life had been all that time. Right now, I was more than happy that he had himself came up with such an idea. It was one of its kind and I knew it would yield very good results as well as strengthen the relationship between the two of us.

Still lost in so many thoughts, I did not know that there was another person who was watching me all this time until I suddenly looked to see that Jade was standing at the entrance if my door. She panicked a bit when I looked in her direction.

"Oh , I am sorry I was looking for the washrooms ." she said panicking as she turned back to go but I knew she was just pretending around. She actually maybe had something that she wanted to say to me.

"Oh , no problem Jade , You can come and sit down with me.'' I told her patting the space beside me for her to take. She tried to hesitate but then moved coming towards me. She took baby steps towards me but soon she was right next to me and she sat where I had patted.

"Okay , young girl . Are you sure that you actually wanted to go to the washrooms?" I asked her flashing her funny faces which made her laugh since she knew that I had found out her little trick.

"Hahaha, you are really an intelligent woman . How did you even know that I was just lying to you ?' the young girl asked me surprised.

"Oh , there is something that you might have forgotten about you ?" I said joking to her and the young girl looked at me in a way that shown that she did not have any idea about what I was even talking about .

"Oh , that face can tell me that you don't have any idea about what I am even talking about ."

"Surely Mrs Crina. I don't have any idea about what you are talking about ." she said surrendering .

"Am a teacher. And I think you know very well how teachers are able to easily study and find out about what might be going through the minds of others more so those about your age.''

"Oh , I can now understand this and know where it is going .'' she commented seeming to be amused with something but I did not know what exactly this was.

"You seem to have recalled something going in that young head of yours, do you mind if you share with me what the hell is going through that head of yours ?"I was of course being persuasive when I said that . it was the only way that I was going to be able to get something from her which she surely did not want to share with me.

"Oh , damn it… this mouth . I think I need to find the washrooms." She said as she got up to go but of course I held her hand and did not let her go . I knew that girl had something that she surely was hiding from me and I could tell that it had something to do with me . I wanted to see what it was.

"Jade, Don't run away from me. I can tell that there is something that you are trying to hide from me."

The poor girl turned back to me and sat down again . it was really so hard for her to hold back the laughter that was surely portraying on her face.

"Look, I know it is not me who is supposed to say this but since you have forced me then I don't have anything to do ." she said appearing to be nervous. I did not say anything but rather just looked at her showing her that I was all ears to see what she had to say.

"My mom was also a teacher .'' she said simply and then kept quiet . I tried so much to see how this concerned me but it was not making up anything in my head.

"Okay , but how does that have to do with me?" I questioned her still not understanding what she was talking about .

"Okay , what I want to say is that my father likes you ."

What did she say ? I did not even know how to react to that statement at all. it had been so many years since some one said that they liked me. I swear this took me by total surprise. I did not know how to react at all.

My ex husband had shattered everything that I had about love plus I never thought that any other person would fall in love with a woman like me. I mean I am already thirty five and not that an attractive lady as I am not doing any skin care all the time. After contemplating about all this, I came to a conclusion that this was all a lie and perhaps procrastination .

"Oh my God , jade. Why could you say such a thing ?" I asked her curious.

"I don't how to explain this but what I what I have told you is the truth . My dad like you .''

After saying that . she did not wait any more . She stood up quickly and practically run out my bedroom. I did not have the courage to even call after her . The fact was she had left me having s many thoughts running through my mind.

"Would it be true that good looking man really is in love with me ?'' Oh , God. For sure I don't know what to think about that at all.

"Mom, are you done?'' it was actually Ryder who rescued me from the so many thoughts that I had going through my head.

"Ehmmm!" I replied awkwardly … I just hoped she would not be able to think about anything that is going on in my head now.
