Mia
I went to see who was at the door when I heard the doorbell ring.
"Delivery for Miss Mia Montoya" the delivery man said
"Oh" I said
"Sign here ma'am" he instructed me and I did as I was told just before he handed me a bouquet of roses.
"Flowers?" I scoffed in annoyance
"What?" I asked my mum who was weirdly looking at me.
"Nothing, can't I stare at my daughter?, the child I carried for nine months in my womb?, the beauty I created?" My mum entered her drama queen mode.
"Go on stare at the beauty you created" I said sarcastically
"With all pleasure" she said
Unbelievable!
"So, are those from Logan?" my mother asked me
"Yes mum" I responded
"What am I supposed to do with these flowers?" I asked out loud
"Well don't ask me, Logan sent them to you" my mum said
"But I'm Serious, mum. What do I do with them? I can't keep them in the house forever, I'll have to throw them away at some point. He couldn't even get me a long-lasting gift" I explained but Mum wasn't even paying attention.
"Oh, there's a note. What does it say?" my mum became hyper about it
"I HURT YOUR FEELINGS AND NO AMOUNT OF APOLOGY WILL BE ENOUGH TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU" the note read
"He's so sweet and he is sorry. Why don't you forgive him already?" Mum asked and I became infuriated
"How can you say that mum? Don't you care about my feelings at all? you know he doesn't even know what he wants. I can't be with him if he still has another woman in his heart, you know everything. I'm beginning to think you like Logan so much because of his money" The last statement left my mouth before I could take it back
"Those were some hurtful words you just vomited right now" Mum said as the color of her face changed
"I'm sorry mum. I didn't mean any of what I said just now" I moved to stand by her side while I apologised.
She sighed.
"It's ok honey. I understand how you feel, you are angry and hurt that's why you're just infuriated " she said
"I overreacted and I'm sorry" I apologized again
We went silent for a while before Mum spoke up.
"I told you before that Logan is a good man. So you're wrong when you say I like him for you because he is rich. Yes I want a man who can cater to you and also for your needs but he has a kind heart" she started a sermon
"Mum" I groaned
"I didn't say you should go back to him, it's not like you guys were even together" she laughed
"I just said you should forgive him. Come to think of it, you guys weren't together honey so why are you mad?" Mum said and that was the truth
Why was I mad?
"Yes, I know that. But he still betrayed me because he told me he loved me and he knew I had feelings for him too" I argued
"I understand you" mum said.
Logan
"What was so urgent that it couldn't wait till tomorrow?" I asked Lorenzo
"Why did you even sign that marriage certificate in Las Vegas?" he asked me
"We were both drunk and careless. What's the problem, you said it was fake? She was lying" I stated
"I wasn't asking a question, I was just expressing my dissatisfaction at your act of stupidity" Lorenzo said
"Hey! Watch your tongue. It wasn't such a bad idea because we were already engaged and we were in love Lorenzo. We were eventually going to get married at some point" I smiled
"Wipe that smile from your face because it seems you were the only one in love then" he said
"I don't know man" I said truthfully
"I have been running around for a few days trying to get any information that will help with the certificate. I discovered it wasn't fake" he said
"What" I said
"Dont worry. I made sure no court approves that certificate" he said
"Are you sure?" I asked him
"I had requested videos from Las Vegas from that night" he said
"I didn't even think about that, how did you get them?" I asked him
"I have my ways. I told you I'll handle this for you. All of this should have been handled by Hector" he said and it warmed my ice-cold heart.
"Yes you did" I responded
"And I asked you to focus on one thing" he said again
"Yes, I know. To focus on winning Mia back" I said
"So?" he asked me
"She's been very difficult" I answered
"How do you mean?" he asked me
"I have tried talking to her on several occasions but she wouldn't give me a listening ear. I sent her flowers yesterday with a card saying how sorry I am, but she hasn't said anything about it up till now" I told Lorenzo
"Flowers seriously?" Lorenzo asked me
"Yes, what's wrong with that? I see it in the movies all the time" I said
"This is real life Logan" he groaned
"What am I supposed to do then?" I asked him
"You're are not a robot, think. Do you think Mia likes flowers? I know she's a girl but not that type of girl and you know it. She's hard" he said
"You're right. I will think of other ways" I said
"Good, use that brain" he responded
"About the footage I got from Vegas, you need to watch them" Lorenzo said
"Why?" I asked him
"Just do. When I watched it, it looked to me that Selena intentionally got you drunk. She didn't look wasted at all, she coaxed you to sign those papers and she was making out with some other that night while you were asleep" Lorenzo screamed in excitement
"Hmm" I was hurt
"I shouldn't have told you" he said
"No. I'm truly over her" I said
"It was like she forced you to sign them. The whole Las Vegas trip was part of her plans, the certificate is fake. One thing is true for sure, everything and everyone that night was part of her game" Lorenzo explained
"It's in the past now" I sighed
"She did quiet a number on you" Lorenzo said to me
I sat quietly and thought about it for a while.
"The most important thing is that no court will approve that certificate whether it is fake or an original" Lorenzo said
"Yes, you made sure of that" I sighed in relief.
"Was there any time Selena was true to me?"I asked myself out loud
"I wonder" Lorenzo said
"Don't think too much about it. This too shall pass, it might take some time but it will come to an end" Lorenzo consoled me
"Did you check on mother? We need to find out her secret with Selena before it gets messy, you know how crazy Selena can get" Lorenzo told me
"I'll find the time to look into it, I promise" I said to him
"I'll be leaving now. I will send those videos to your phone when I get home" He told me
"Alright great. Thanks, man. I appreciate you helping me out" I told him
"Anytime brother" he smiled then left.

I didn't want another week to pass by without Mia forgiving me so I called Connor.
"Connor, it's me Logan" I said when he answered the phone
"Logan, it's been a while" he said
"Yeah it has" I responded
"Look Connor, I'm calling because I need a favor from you" I told him
"Ok let me hear it" he said
"I need Susan's contact" I told him
"You do not have the contact of your girlfriend's mother?" He asked me
"Come on Connor, I don't want any lecture from you. Just give me the number, my relationship with Mia depends on it now" I told him
"Ok I'll send it since it's that serious" he said
My phone vibrated in less than a second, Connor had just sent Susan's contact.
