Control

A Memory, Part II

"Sweetie I am leaving." I gave her a sweet smile as she glared at me.

"Don't think I am going to let you get away with this stunt that easily. I will get you back." I looked at her pretending to be shocked.

"Oh whatever do you mean. I did nothing to deserve this." I saw her grabbing her pillow from the bed. I closed the door fast and heard a thud. I chuckled as I grabbed my things heading out the door to meet my parents at the restaurant.

When I arrived my parents were already there waiting for me. Before I could sit down my mom got up and crushed me into a hug.

"Aw my baby I missed you so much." I hugged her tightly and gave her a kiss on the cheek when I noticed she started to tear up.

"I missed you too ma." I heard someone clear their throat and we both laughed when we looked at my dad who was sulking in the corner because he didn't get any love. "I guess I missed you too dad." He rolled his eyes at my comment and hugged me just as tight or even more than mom did. We all sat down and ordered our food. They asked me about school and I told them that I was having fun and I really enjoyed it. I let them know that I was happy with my decision.

"How are things at home?" I asked them. 

My dad was the first one to speak. "Much more peaceful now that a certain someone isn't around." I rolled my eyes at him knowing he was just getting me back for my comment earlier. My mom smacked his back and he gave her a look that said, "What I am only speaking the truth."

"Don't mind your father, he has been a crying mess since you have left. Talking about how his baby is growing up and leaving him." I laughed imagining my dad sobbing as mom pats his back. He glared at mom and I as we both laughed at him.

"Anyways, we have some good news for you." I looked at my dad curiously wondering what they wanted to tell me. I didn't miss the way mom's eyes lit up at dad's words. "Baby, do you want to tell her?" My dad looked down at my mom.

"I'm pregnant!" I opened my eyes in shock. I couldn't believe I was going to have a little brother or sister.

"Aw mom, I am so happy for you." Now that I took another look at my mother I noticed that she did gain weight. I got up to give her another hug. "Do you guys know what the gender of the baby is? They both shook their heads no.

"We are going to wait until the baby is born to find out. Which will be in another 5 months." The baby will be born in November. Which is the same month I was born. September must be a special month for my parents. Nevermind I don't want to think about that. I was really happy for my parents because ever since they had me they have been trying for another kid but were not successful.

They had me when they were young and they never let the people around them discourage them, and look 18 years later their life has been filled with happiness and soon will be filled with even more happiness. When we were done I said goodbye to my parents and told them that I would see them tomorrow at the showcase. When I got back home I told Venus the news and she squealed in excitement. She told me since I told her some wonderful news she would forgive me for earlier. Which I am grateful for because Venus could play really dirty and I was not ready for her revenge.

I could hardly sleep that night because I was too busy thinking about the eventful day I had ahead of me. My mind drifted towards Malakai. I only had one more tutoring session with him. I was sad about it because once the semester was over I knew that I wasn't going to see him again because he was graduating from his master's program this year. Being around him definitely ignited the part of me that I was trying to keep hidden until I found the right one.

But I couldn't help it especially when he stared at me with those dark eyes that look like they could see right through me. I huffed, I don't know what I am going to do. I just have to keep my cool until the end of the semester. All of that thinking must've tired me out because I fell asleep right after that.
