The two women sat for some time; each woman engaged in their own thoughts. Amanda asked her mother, "mum, are you sleeping over?" and Yvonne nodded and replied,
"Uh-huh"
"Yay! girls' night!" she happily exclaimed to which her mother smirked.
It was then that Amanda took a good look after mum. "Mummy never ceases to surprise me", she thought to herself.
Amanda and her mother were almost equal in physique, their body type was the same with the small waist feature, a little plump body and proportional breast versus hips and ass. Unlike her daughter, Yvonne even dressed to show her assets.
Like that night, she was wearing an orange bodycon midi dress that had a V-neck. The dress did a good job of highlighting her curves which she had always been proud to show off. She had on a 6-inch heel and a small purse that she still had clutched in her hands to complement it.
She put it down and discarded her shoes. And then, she approached Amanda's wardrobe to pick out some new clothes for the night. Yes, the two women were almost alike in size because Yvonne had really kept herself, so she looked way younger than she did she was.
Side by side, Amanda and her mother looked more like sisters than mother and daughter. They were close as well. One of the regrets Yvonne had in her life was that, her other daughter, Ella was not as close to her because of her father's influence. She changed into one of Amanda's night wears and climbed into bed with her daughter.

"Good morning, Madam Yvonne," Tasha greeted brightly the next morning when she found her in their kitchen with a cup of coffee.
"How are you, Tasha? Did you sleep well?"
Tasha nodded and also grabbed herself a steaming cup of coffee. Amanda walked in just then as she stretched her muscles. She walked up to her mother and gave her a hug.
"Let's go out for breakfast girls, it's a nice day out today,"
They both beamed when they heard this, and soon, they were out of the apartment.
They entered a small but popular breakfast café in the neighbourhood and got themselves a table. Even in their casual clothes, they still managed to get heads turning when they had entered. Amanda being the shy one ducked her head so that she did not have to look anyone right in the eye. This action made her miss someone she would have rather avoided.
Yvonne signalled a waiter when they were ready to order and then…
"Hello sweetheart, I didn't think we would meet again so soon. I knew we were meant for each other," the voice said. This drew a startled gaze from Yvonne and Tasha, but Amanda recognised the voice of her saviour from the previous night, and she was not new to his antics at all.
"Kelvin, you work here as well?" she asked,
"Of course, I work in as many places as it takes to pay the bills", he said and winked at her.
"May I take your order ladies?" he stated with a smile, but his eyes remained on Amanda the whole time even though she was in just jeans and a hoodie. The bags under her eyes and the swellings from all the crying the previous night were still visible. In fact, she looked miserable and unkempt, but Kelvin looked at her as if she was a princess being led down an aisle.
This drew the attention of Yvonne as this was the first time a man had looked at her daughter that way in her presence when she and Tasha were visually more appealing. As usual, she and Tasha were in tight-fitting clothes that outlined their bodies and they also had on make-up to enhance their natural looks. It was only Amanda who didn't care much about her looks but the other two made it a point to always go out, with some makeup on. That alone told her a lot about the young man in front of them. It took someone to really have feelings for another to look beyond the physicals.
He didn't look like he had much. His jeans looked worn out but did fit him like a glove… and that meant every part of him including his goods did not escape Yvonne's scrutinizing eyes. His grey t-shirt was pulled tightly across his chest hinting at the underlying muscles. Her eyes travelled to his face, and she met his pure grey eyes that somehow matched his shirt or rather looked like it reflected it, and dark hair. His hair was kept cropped short. These overall, provided a sharp and intriguing look especially as he had a stubble on his sharp jaw indicating--, "What was she thinking of?" Yvonne chided herself as she caught the grey eyes now looking at her with questions that she would rather prefer not to answer.
"I need to get laid," she whispered to herself.
"Huh, mum, did you say something?" Amanda asked,
Kelvin chuckled in response as he had lip-read Yvonne but wisely said nothing.
"Mum?" Kelvin inquired.
"Yes, this is my mum, Yvonne and my roommate Tasha", she introduced them.
"Oh, so this is my mother-in-law," he said openly and extended his hand for a greeting while he added, "I thought she was your sister."
"I am Kelvin, and I am the man to marry your daughter in the not-too-distant future."
Amanda: "…"
Yvonne: "Oh my, aren't you a direct one? I am quite pleased to meet you." she felt giddy and blushed with the compliment from him.
Tasha: "I knew I liked him from the onset".
"We will have more time to get to know each other mum. Can I call you mum?" Kelvin asked her.
"Of course, you may," Yvonne replied hastily.
Kelvin smiled in response and asked again for their order.
"It will be pancake, eggs, sunny side up and ham with fruit juice for Tasha, a cheeseburger and milk for Amanda and I'll take a plate of green cucumber salad and a coffee." Yvonne made the order on their behalf and Kelvin left to fulfil it but not before sending a wink toward Amanda.
As Kelvin left, he heard Yvonne say, "Oh he's damn hot!"
"Mom!" Amanda hush said with a face as red as a tomato.
