Chapter 4: Don't talk about my dad/ New job

"Don't worry mom,I'll go to his company and see him. I made my mom a cup of coffee and went upstairs to my room. My mind went to Brian and I smiled touching my lips. I freshened up and had lunch.

I called Bianca to ask about her dog and she said it was just common flu. I was going to Essence Corp tomorrow to ask about my mom's job. My brothers finally woke up from their nap and started knocking on my door. They're twins, Andre and Andy both 9 years old. They were my two little bundle of joy. I opened the door and let them in. We talked about soo many things like school, Andy's crush till they slept off and I took them to their room and went to kiss my mom goodnight. After that I went up to my room and fell on my bed and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning...

I woke up to the sounds of my alarm ringing. Now it's time to go plead with Sasha's dad. I had this weird thought in my mind. Why is it now that I and Sasha had a fight that my mom got fired. I just hope it's not what I'm thinking. Bianca and Sasha were from billionaire families but we're average. I got up, had my bath, got dressed and had breakfast and started going to Essence Corp.

I got there and they allowed me in because I was Sasha's friend. I went into his office. "Good morning sir". I greeted. "Oh, Emily, how are you doing?" He asked smiling. "I'm good, sorry I came so early. My mom got fired, so I wanted to ask why, no offence, please". I said. His brows creased. "I didn't fire her, wait a minute, let me call my intern". He said confused.

Angela, his intern came into the office and she explained that Sasha fired my mom for no reason. "Seriously, I don't know why, but Mrs Brown did nothing wrong". She said.

Mr Fernandez looked at me. " Your mom is no longer fired, it must have been a mistake" he said. But I knew it was no mistake. I thanked him and wanted to leave his office when I heard Sasha's voice.

"Trying to seduce my father??" I turned around and said; "why will you say such a thing to me Sasha". "I mean it's probably why your dad left your mom, because he caught her cheating and I guess it runs in the blood". She said smirking at me. "Don't ever talk about my father again, or about my family". I said tears running down my cheeks.

"Sasha, will you stop this nonsense, why will you speak about someone like that?" Her father scolded her. He turned to me and apologized. I was so about to pounce on her right now.

"If I was in your dad's shoes, I'd have probably left you and your family, security!!! Please take this worthless thing out" She said.

I couldn't believe it. I turned slowly and ran out of the office, as I exited the company, I broke down into tears. "Emily" I heard my name. I looked around and saw Brian and I burst into more tears and hugged him tightly. I needed someone at that moment. "Hey, it's okay, stop crying" He said and patted my back. I cleaned my tears slowly. "Do you want to talk about it" He pulled out from the hug gently. "Yeah, but I wanna leave here" I said slowly.

He took me to his car and drove us to the park. I then told him what happened and he also couldn't believe it.

"You'll get over it " he said looking at me. "About what you told me" I said and he quickly shook his head "You don't have to answer me now, clearly you're not okay." He said. "No, I want to answer you now" I said and turned to him. I slowly kissed him on the lips. It was a short one. Yeah I forgot to tell you, our kiss in the library was my first. I disengaged. "Yes, I want to be your girlfriend" I said smiling. He hugged me tightly.

"Let me take you home, it's about to rain" He said. I was kinda sad to go home. We went to get ice cream and we both got chocolate flavored. We then went home. We alighted from the car. I hugged him and went in.

I came into the house and found my mom and I hugged her and told her what happened and I also told her what transpired between I and Sasha. She hugged me and told me not to worry. " Mom don't be mad at me, will you??" I said suddenly. I wanted to tell her about Brian, she's my mom and she knows about everything in my life. "I won't if it's not serious"

She said. I then told her about Brian and the kiss. I expected a resounding slap on my face but instead my mom hugged me. "You're not mad at me?" I said slowly looking at her. "Why will I be mad at you, you're a teenager, it happens, as long as you and him don't go too far, you know what I mean right?" She said smiling. "Yeah, I understand". I said and went upstairs.

After taking my bath, I had lunch and had a very long nap. The next day was Sunday and I was going to be working. Yeah, I had a job and it was kinda cool. I went downstairs and saw my mom cooking dinner and I helped, set the table and cook. We had dinner and watched the new Thundermans movie, it was soo cool. We prayed and went to bed. I got a text as we were praying so I couldn't check it. I got on my bed and checked it. It was from Brian. "Goodnight pretty".
