I got up the next morning with a heavy head due to the noise coming from downstairs.
Trying to adjust my position on the bed as my head kept aching.
Looking around the rooms I discovered I was in my room.
How did I get to my room? I was at my brother's birthday party. So, how come I am in my room?
I asked no one but myself that question
Then with a heavy head, I started having flashbacks of what happened yesterday.
From the moment I met with Pere at the restroom and how things unfolded with us.
And when I went back and drank a lot to the point where I could not stop myself from kissing Cross.
Ohh no I can't believe I did that. How will he look at me now? Am sure he is looking at me like a desperate woman.
After having a flashback of what happened during my brother's birthday party, I tried getting up from the bed. But was stopped by a voice.
"Mom, you will need to have this, it will help you with your hangover. Grandma prepared for you.
When I lifted my head to glance at the person. It was my son holding a blow.
Just as he said. My mom must have prepared one of her healing medications.
Thanks so much, son. I took the blow from my son after thanking him.
After drinking some of the soup I discovered he was still standing and looking at me and that was strange.
Why are you still standing sit down on the bed. I told him and he immediately did that.
What's wrong son? You know you can tell Mom anything right? I asked him
Mom is nothing.
Are you sure? Because you look like something is disturbing you.
No, Mom, I am perfectly fine. But I was disturbed last night because you came back and you were not feeling well. So I thought maybe you are still sick.
Am fine now son. There is no need for you to be bored okay?
Mom, are you sure no one bullied you at Uncle Neo's birthday party? My son asked
No one bullied me at your uncle's party son. So I am fine.
Mom, please next time you go with me to does types of places for security purposes alright? My son asked.
Ethan Jnr. Is now a grown-up boy.
Mom is serious. He said
Don't worry young man your mother is fine as long as she has you with her. She can handle any form of bullying. I said and I placed the blow on the table since I was already done drinking the soup.
Alright then Mom, if you say so. And I am not going to go anywhere away from you.
Thanks so much, son. Come, hug Mama. I said and he immediately hugged me.
I love you so much, son. I said to him and I kissed his forehead.
And I love you too Mom.
He said and hugged me again.
He is not just my son but he is my bundle of joy, the reason why I had to be brave so that he won't also be bullied just like me.
His father might have rejected us. After he planted a seed in me that unfaithful night but he is my ray of hope.
In which they never cross paths. Because he is the carbon copy of his father. That is why I never wanted to come home in the first place because there was no way they wouldn't meet now that they were in one pack.
I have never told him anything about his father. How can I tell him his father rejected me after we spent the night together? In which he is the product of that night.
Because it meant that his father also rejected him. I can't see my son go through that painful experience. That will kill me slowly.
Mom, let me leave you to freshen up, and before I forget Grandma said you should come downstairs for breakfast.
Alright, son thanks.
Is for nothing Mom. He said and walked to the door of my room.
Ethan! I called
Yes, mom.
What going on downstairs? I asked not forgetting the noise I kept getting from downstairs.
Mom, I don't really know but it's Uncle Neo and Aunt Tolani who are quarreling.
Okay, son.
I said to him and we went out of my room.
What could really be the problem that would make my brother to be quarreling with his mate early in the morning?
Should I go downstairs now or should I just go freshen up before going downstairs? I asked no one but myself.
I don't think it will be a good idea for me to just go downstairs like that. And I am sure that my dad and mom are fixing the problem by now.
I walk to the bathroom to have my bath.
After I was done having my bath. I chose a smile gown to put on. And when I was done putting on my clothes. I walked out of my room and went downstairs.
Just as I thought my mom and dad had fixed the conflict between them they were both quiet.
Good morning Dad. I said to Father as I walked to his table and gave him a peck.
Good morning sweetheart. My dad replied to me.
I walked to my mom's chair and hugged her from behind. Good morning Mom. And thanks for the couple. I said
Is nothing, sweetheart. So how was your night? Mom asked
Mom my night was great.
Good morning bro and Good morning Tolani.
Good morning sis, my brother replied but Tolani didn't reply to my greetings.
Mom, come sit hear. I reserve this sit for you. My son said
And I walked to his seat and gave him a peck and sat down beside him. My son is the best.
I said and that got him smiling.
Tolani, if you don't mind me asking do we have a problem? Because you didn't reply to my greetings a moment ago. I asked her.
We don't have a problem but we will soon have a problem if you don't tell that Gold digger best friend of yours to stay away from my mate. Tolani said and that got me confused.
Will you all stop and let's eat? Before the food gets cooled. My dad said to all of us at the table and everyone started eating their food.
But my head was still in shock. What does she mean by gold digger's best friend of mind? Is it Uriel she is referring to? I asked myself
What really happened that made her think Uriel was after her man?
I might not have liked Tolani in the past because she was among the children in school who kept bullying me.
But I can't continue to hate her, she is carrying my brother's baby and they are both fated mate.
Sent by the moon goddess.
As we had our breakfast the dining table was in total silence. Only our forks and knives were making the sound in the living room.
How I missed eating like this with my family.
