"Are you sure you don't wanna come?" Chloe asked me once again. Handing me a small stack of pancakes.
"Chloe y'all leave in like an hour. No go have fun! Hand me some syrup please?" I said cutting into my food.
She's planned a much needed weekend vacation. For Masia's twenty fifth birthday. All month they have been asking if I want to join them.
At first I declined respectfully; but the offer still repeatedly stands.The two of them deserve a weekend alone. So I decided to take a rain check.
After we finished our breakfast it's time to go.Amadeus helps Chloe put their bags in the car.
" You know I have to ask one more time." Masia said looking optimistic.
I hug her and say happy birthday.Even though it's not until Sunday. I'll give her the gift I got her;when she gets back.
"This is a nice way of saying no." She laughed.
"Go have fun Sia. I'm not too fond of beaches anyway." I lied.
She hugged me again as we said our see you laters. We waved goodbye from the porch. Amadeus and I watch them drive off into the distance.
Turning his head to me slightly. "What now?" He asked.
Something about seeing Masia leave triggered me. I stood completely frozen. As if my body was in shock.
" Morgan? Morgan?" Amadeus called as he grabbed my hand. "Lets... lets go to the grocery store." I finally said.
"Is that where you wanna go?" He asked.
I nodded my head and asked could I drive. He agreed hesitantly.
Taking Amadeus' instructions I drive for about forty five minutes. It's starting to rain again, yet the sun still shining.
Making me thankful for my independence. Odd comparison, but the the words my mama used to say ring in my ears. "Tsk The devil's beating his wife." I said quietly.
"You call it that too;huh?" Amadeus said referring to the weather as well.
Pulling up to the destination. A red sign glows brightly. I take my opportunity and park in the closet spot I see.
Two open spots. One with a sign that said
Reserved for Expecting mothers.
I parked in the one next to it.
Amadeus side eyed me. Before he could ask why this spot. I cut the engine. Grabbed the keys and my purse.
Walking into the entrance. I asked him "why target?"
"Why that Parking spot?" He responded.
Grabbing a cart we began going isle to isle. "You know what tonight is perfect for ?" Amadeus asked. While getting some almond milk from the freezer.
"What?" I said making my way to the ice cream. Grabbing two gallons of ice cream; nearly dropping one.
Mint chocolate chip my favorite.
Looking disappointed with my ice cream taste. Amadeus laughs as he grabbed a gallon of coffee ice cream.
"Oh but my choice is laughable. Who wants coffee with ice cream?" I chuckled.
"Laugh now eat later." He said.
