Chapter 198: Xmas Tree

I looked at her, everything she said about mom was true, my mom is a woman that can do almost anything for me, what she can't do go keep me safe and happy...I don't know if that even exists.

"Tomorrow, is Christmas, please if you are finding that place boring, call my number and I will come to pick you up, And please, try and understand your friend, she only doing this because she did not understand yet, she is a kid and she was scared, she is still scared, you know, you marine people...if your mom hears me call you a Marine child she will so hate me, but I like calling things what they are. So, you Marine people had been attributed with lots of evil, so she assumes you are one of the characters in her stories, I actually do not blame her, because, at my level of understanding, I still thought of that the first time your mom told me about you. I was literally scared of you, I felt you could devour me or rip me into shreds by just your mind. So please try and understand her, and just know that she will definitely come along, I really love your friendship, I will like it to go farther, I know you are still too young for this talk, you probably will joy understand me for now, but you will soon, so please do not hate her, just understand her."

Aunty Paula added. I looked at her when she said that we are too young and that I won't understand what she meant, and I laughed in my mind, we already started doing the real deal, madam. That was the word in my mind, she really did not have any clue how far we have gone before this incident that is fighting to divide us apart.

So, after the discussion I came back to where I was sitting before aunty Paula came to call me, I sat there still watching the father and daughter decorate their Xmas tree, though they were doing it wrongly, but I actually enjoyed the view, I enjoyed the way they do things together as a team, for me, it was mom and me that is a team, but I still wish that I could add a dad to the team, a real dad I meant, not any Mr. Matt dad, what a name, people still bare the name Matthew, Matthew with a double "T" I was shocked when I saw his name spelled in mom's phone, very funny name for our generation.

Well, I was just there when mom came out and tapped me by the head in her usual teasing manner. She had been fixing up things after her prayer prayers, she even went to my room to arrange my bags which we will take with us to Mr. Matt's place. It's actually obvious that he will be coming earlier than expected because mom started preparing too early.

"What are you doing here, go help them fix it, you just sat and watch like one bus."

Mom said as she patted me by the head.

"Oh, can he do it? I and my daughter had been battling with it since we woke up early this morning, we have tried all we could but the light is just not coming up."

Mr. Bright said quickly after he heard mom speak.

He is a guru at it." 

Mom added.

"And you just sat there enjoying us make errors, bring your ass here and fix it, I'm even tired, I'll just let you and Cynthia do it, this thing is more stressful than it actually looks."

He said as he tried to stand up to leave but his daughter held him back whispering to him saying.

"Dad let's just do it together, we are almost done."

"Almost done when, please I am tires let him join you."

He said and left the sitting room and mom also pushed me and also exited the scene, leaving only but both of us, with the Xmas tree. Mom actually wanted us to talk before I leave, she knew how much that will mean to me. This is one of the numerous reasons why I love my mom so damn much, she understands me a whole lot and it was also the reason why I beloved that she reads my mind too, but she don't, she was just too caring that she senses my mood and emotions.

But too bad that Cynthia had to be Cynthia, a very stubborn and annoying girl, at that moment I felt like booting her off the ground when she stood up and left me with a loud and long hiss. Cynthia was so annoying, as soon as I got to her side, she just gave out this annoying loud hiss and she stood up and left me there starting all alone, I turned to her in anger, she really erupted some bad emotions in me, I saw my self almost hurting her but I had to control myself. As she did this, this immense anger out of nowhere filled the little space in my heart, and all I could think of was to hurt her and make her feel my pains as well, immediately, I started noticing the glowing in my eyes, and that internal feeling that boils like liquid metal in me, thank God she didn't see me again in this state as I quickly calmed myself, I said to myself that this is Cynthia the love of my life, there is no way I could harm her. I called myself fast before I cause damage and make the nice Mr. Bright also hate me as his daughter did. So, slowly and calmly I finished with the fixing if the tree and the light were lit. When I was done I went back into my room only to find out that mom had already been there and fixed up my things.
