Travis saw his mom in a purple dress. She's looking like a goddess in it.
''Your pretty, Mom.''
''Thank you, Travis. You look handsome on your suit.''
''I'll drive there.''
''Okay, dear.''
Shania brought her matching purple purse.
Grocery went smooth except that women are looking at Travis. Men lusting over his mom. He was very mad.
''Calm yourself, Travis.'' Shania said as she noticed Travis's anger while walking through the parking lot.
''They're looking at you like your something to eat, Mama.''
''I am very sorry for wearing this.'' Shania apologized.
''No, Mom. Girls got the right to wear everything they like. Men needs to learn not to lust on women. It's so frustrating thinking that lots of ladies are treated like this all over Earth. I hate to say this but men degrading and disrespecting women with what they wear deserves to get hang.''
''What a gentleman you have grown, Travis.'' Shania could only look at his son with proudness.
''I need to get you out of this place. Men will be staring at you after they've finished parking their cars. Now, let's get you inside this Porsche.''
''Alright, I'll do as you say.''
As soon as Travis finished putting all the groceries at the back seat, he quickly turned the car on and drove off.
He gave a middle finger to all the man he remembered lusting over his mom.
''Travis!'' Shania laughed at his movements.
''They deserved more than that.'' Then a phone rang.
''I think it's yours, Travis.'' Shania gave his phone to Travis.
''Hello?'' Travis said as he answered the call.
''...'' no one answered back. Travis tired again. ''Travis Rake on the line.''
''...'' Still, no one answered back. Travis was confused at this point.
''Um. Travis Rake speaking? May I hear you, sir or ma'am.'' He said.
And for the third time no one answered so he turned the phone off.
''Who was that, sweetie?'' Shania asked her son as he threw the phone at the backseat.
Travis shook his head before answering his mother. ''It was no one.''
''Oh. Really?''
''Yes. Prank calls are famous this days. Maybe some teenagers did it.''
''Well, they got lucky calling your phone.''
''Nah. They got very unlucky calling an abuser's number.''
Shania looked at her son with sadness in her eyes.
Travis noticed his mom's stare. ''What is it, Mom?'' he asked.
''I know you didn't assault that lady, Travis.''
''Of course. You raised me with manners. I know how to respect a lady. But you know what hurts more, Mom. The fact that it was one of my teammates who planned everything to destroy me. Unluckily, he was proven not guilty. And I bear that stupidity.''
Travis continued driving. Shania realized the pain that her son went through. She was very stupid years ago. She went and 'cheated' on her husband just after Travis went through.
''I-I...'' Shania stuttered. Travis doesn't deserve to go back to his teammates.
''Stop it, Mom. It was just pure 'coincidence' that you cheated with that doctor husband of yours.''
''That will soon be my ex-husband when you get back playing, got that?'' Shania didn't want Travis to return to the hell he once went through. But it was needed. It was needed to return his son's lost pride and dignity. Travis coach didn't believe that Travis abused the waitress.
''I am sorry.'' was all Shania could say to Travis.
They arrived at 4 in the afternoon. Travis went to his room and changed his clothes for a formal vibe for a bar. He received a call from Calvin.
''Hey, Travis! I'm at the bar now. I'll text you the location! It's a new one.''
''Okay! I'm currently changing my outfit. Just text the location.''
''Oh before I forgot. Please tell your, Mom. I love her!''
''Your just like my brother Calvin! Please erase your stupid love over my mom, please. I am begging you.''
''Alright, man. Chill.'' Travis ended the call.
''Fuck you, Calvin. You kept fantasizing my mom for 11 years!'' Travis threw his phone to his bed. He looked at the clock. It was already 5:45 in the evening.
He went downstairs and smelled the aroma of the oven roasted chicken.
''That smelled so good, Mom.'' Travis complimented his mom's dish.
''I know.'' Shania said before seeing Michele.
''I am very sorry for what I've said this morning.'' Michele felt guilty with the words she said to her mom.
''It's fine, sweetie. I understand your feelings.''
Shania's heart soothed after hugging her daughter.
''Is your boyfriend here? Shania asked Michele.
''Boyfriend?'' Michele asked back.
Travis's heat beats like crazy as soon as he and Michele made eye contact.
''Ma, I'm going to Calvin now.''
Shania then realized the shit she made.
''Oh fuck...'' she whispered on herself.
''BYE!'' Travis said as he ran through the garage.
''TRAVIS!!!'' he heard Michele shout.
''SORRY!'' was all he could say before driving away to the location Calvin texted.
It was 40 kilometers away from his home. It'll be a 40 minute drive.
Travis turned the radio on. His favorite band was singing. Obviously, he jammed to it.
''Hi! This is Michele, please pick up the phone.''
Travis picked up his phone and connected it to the car. Michele's number has a special ringtone he set, that way he knows the caller is her sister.
''Yes, hello?'' Travis asked as he answered the call.
''Oh, you're so dead when you come back home. I told you, me and the CEO are having a secret relationship. You are lucky I told you about it and yet you opened your mouth to someone vulnerable of gossips.'' Michele scolded her younger brother.
''Okay, I am sorry. Mom caught me in her 'talking trap'.'' Travis said.
''Oh, yeah. Now Mom wants to meet the CEO. My boyfriend is a busy man, Travis. His making a lot of money and I love him.'' Michele said.
''I know. And I am very sorry, okay.''
''I hope your sorry keep Mom's mouth from talking about this subject!'' Michele ended the call.
After a long drive, Travis arrived at the meeting place.
''TRAVIS!!!'' a man shouted not from far where he was standing. He was about to enter the gate when the man shouted and he looked above.
''CALVIN!'' Travis shouted back. ''Why are you up there?'' He asked.
Calvin was dancing with some girls on a room just above the gate.
''It's a VIP lounge, bitch!'' Calvin shouted and danced with the girls.
Travis just shook his head in disbelief.
After a quick check up on his body, the guard let him in.
''Just what the fuck is this place?''
