"And who do you work for" she asked desperately wanting to know if it was a lady or a man. Mom had her doubts but I was excited to leave home for the city, everyone makes it in the city and I was glad to be among the people who would be making it in the city.
"Come inside Mom" Mary directed us in, we sat at one of the tables, and she dashed to the counter bringing me a Coke and then a Guinness drink for Mom. It wasn't too long when a slender dark-skinned girl with a blond extension came in behind Mary.
"You work here also," Mom asked, the third time in a row with no answers.
"No, I owned this place" She wasn't up to 20 years old I could tell by the look. Mary intervenes doing the introduction herself.
"This is my mother, and this is my sister Jessica, this is Bianca my boss" Mary said, Bianca said a quick hello with a kind gesture but Mom wasn't entertained, sometimes I wish I could read her mindset but I have my share of secrets that I keep from her for everyone sake, I'm not going to spill it and she's not going to get it from me, if at all is mary story to tell so if she choose to lie is on her.
"Are you fucking with me Mary or you will take me to your boss" Bianca's brows joined together as she heard my mom, of course, she was loud?
"I'm sorry, what!!" I didn't understand why Mom was getting pissed off likely not what I expected. I was happy and didn't care if the owner of this bar was my age. This is the 21st century making money is a core thing everyone prioritises.
"How old are you" Mom asked Bianca.
"Twenty-one Ma" her accent was so thick like from the western state her looks can be compared to that of the east coast.
"I will meet you outside" Mom grabbed my hand dragging me out of the bar, I only have sipped my coke once.
"Can I go back inside and get my coke" I demanded but mom hands were tied on my wrist and she wasn't letting go.
"No one is going back in there and your sister, God who is going to believe that anyway, that she got all that money from working as a waitress is she shitting me," Mom said so loud in an aggressive tone, honestly I wanted to go back inside if not for anything but the sake of my coke.
Mary didn't come out right away and Mom was waiting the fact we didn't have any money on us I kinda wonder where we are going to spend the night, in this big city we never even thought about moving to the city.
"Mom I'm cold" I whined, she took off her jacket and covered me as she carried me I was feeling sleepy and Mary didn't come out until she did and was frowning.
"Seriously Mom do you have to bring out the patience in you" She was referring to the wicked nollyhood actress, Mary was typing away on her flashy iPhone.
