ʀᴀʏᴍᴏɴᴅ
I went out of the company pondering in thought 'Why would that woman be calling me now'. I did love my mother, very much. But sometimes she can be a pain in the ass. I got in my Rolls Royce and went out of the company's parking lot.
*****
When I got to my mother's house, I was greeted by the butler of the house I don't even remember his name. "Good evening master" he greeted me.
I just nodded my head in response, I walked in the house and it was well kept as always, had white walls and all the paintings and chandeliers still the same. I went to the living room and found my mother having tea.
"Hello mother" I greeted her with a warm voice, only she knows this side of me, the sweet side.
"Ohh, I didn't see you there. I am glad that you came, come have a seat" his mother said, gesturing to the couch across her.
I went to sit on the couch and looked at her. "Why did you call me here today mother?" I finally asked her.
"Ohh I wanted to see you, it has been a long time since I last saw you."
"You didn't just call me here to just see me right, because if so I will leave as I have many things to do." I said, already standing up, ready to leave.
"Okay then, seems like you know me too well. I called you here because there is someone I want you to meet." she said, smiling.
"And who might that be?" I asked her, already displeased with the direction of this. My mom tend to overdo things.
"Melinda!" she shouted, and at that moment, a women emerged from the kitchen and came to stand next to my mom.
"Yes mam" she said sheepishly, smiling like an idiot. Her perfume was so strong that it made me want to vomit.
"Meet my son, Fernando. Fernando meet Melinda" she introduced. I saw Melinda blushing. I scowled at her in disgust.
"What is the meaning of this?" I asked her, I knew what my mother was up to, she is still pestering me about getting married.
"Ohh I thought that maybe the two of you can get to know each other better" she said, smiling happily.
I glared at her, 'she really does not listen does she.' I looked at Melinda and frowned, she was wearing a black dress gripping her body, and she intentionally showed her cleavage.
"I didn't say I was looking for friends" I said, my voice cold an void of any emotions.
"I know but I just—"
"Just what mother, you want me to get married? I told you many times that I will never get married, marriage is just a waste of my time" I told her, I was angry, but trying to control myself.
"But you are not getting any younger son, you need someone to keep you company when I am gone. You can't just keep living alone, so I thought maybe you can get to know Melinda and then decide if you like her or not." she said pleadingly.
"Well I don't like her at all, so get her out of my sight, even her perfume, makes me nauseous." I say, cringing my nose.
"But you don't know me yet." Melinda butted in, smiling at me. She is really disgusting me right now.
"And who the f-ck told you to talk, you just say out of it" I say, roaring at her, now I was fuming and couldn't stop myself. I suddenly stood up from the couch and made my way to the front door.
"But son, you didn't even get to talk to her yet." my mom says, tailing behind me.
"I said I don't like her, is there anything you want from me?" I glared at her, this is the first time I raised my voice at my mother, and it is clear that she is shocked, but right now I don't care, I just want to get out of here.
