FLASHBACK ( 3 years ago, November 15)
The restaurant seem quite busy, Kelsey sat all by herself by the side of the window, looks like she has been waiting for someone ,she kept checking her time and would steal a minute to peep at the window, the waiter who seem to have been annoying her crossed her again accidentally spilling orange juice on her and without hesitation she slapped him
Are you blind or just playing stupid? Kelsey asked rudely
Am sorry.....the waiter apologized
well sorry isn't gon fix my 5000 dollar dress ,you scoundrel, Kelsey says..." you no what ,I need to see your manager right now , Kelsey says
c'mon miss the young man has apologized..... a man sitting opposite her table said
well clearly an apology isn't going to fix the lady's dress....Mena chipped in
thank you.....Kelsey tells Mena
But I still think you're overreacting.... Mena says and signals the waiter to leave
And whose gonna fix my dress? Kelsey asked her arms crossed
Let me take care of that, Mena replies " come with me"
she takes her to a mall where she got something else to wear, while coming out
Thank you for the dress, Kelsey says

Early the next day, Mena was knocking right on Kelsey's door, Devon was in the kitchen making breakfast, so Kelsey offered to help her get the door, she opens it and sees a frowning Mena

well clearly....Kelsey wanted to argue but Mena pushes her and goes in

Just then Devon comes to the leaving room

Kelsey sits waiting for Devon to come join her watch their favorite episode of " love moist"

Being a single mother, Devon has always tried her best to make sure Kelsey lack nothing and that included fatherly love even when she had no father, her daughter seems to be very perfect in her eyes and these only grew their bond
mum I kinda miss dad sometimes, I know I haven't met him and would not but I feel he would have been a perfect dad...Kelsey says
Your father would been amazing, and trust me you would have been the apple of his eyes , Devon says.
Tell me more, Kelsey says

How you met dad, Kelsey says
No way are you going to take me back to 2002 , I might be tempted to feel younger again, Devon tease
But ... you are young, Kelsey says, was it like me and smith?Kelsey asked and then regretted it almost immediately
Smith, Devon calls ," whose smith? Devon ask
Um....Are you perceiving something burning, Kelsey ask trying to run away from the subject
Nothing is burning Kelsey, Devon says smiling knowing what Kelsey was trying to do
No I need to go check, Kelsey says stands up Pecks her mum and runs to her room
Who is smith? Devon ask yelling playfully, ohh I see what's going on here , we hiding things now.....
The next day was Saturday, Kelsey runs out to the parlor her mom behind her playing catch

Sorry come in , Kelsey ushers
Good morning Mrs Devon
Hi Mena, how are you? Devon ask and hugs the lady
Great...Mena replies
Let's go, Kelsey says and drags Mena to her room,
Bye mum
Devon has gotten use to the fact that Mena was now a normal visitor, few months before she moved to LA ,she had doubts considering the fact that Kelsey wouldn't make friends but here she was and the friendship between her daughter and Mena seemed it's was going to be a forever thing so she had to get used to it.
wait a minute, you re dating? Mena asked surprise and Kelsey only nods
How is that even possible? Mena ask again
sssh keep your voice down, mum's gonna hear you, Kelsey says
So who is he ? Mena ask
He says he wants it private, Kelsey says " And trust me I don't see anything wrong with it,
Hold up, your agreeing to a private relationship, are you nuts? Mena ask
well it's not that big a deal, Kelsey replies and Mena raises her brow
You know his cheating right? Mena says
c'mon just because we want people off our business, doesn't make him bad, kelsey defended
Mena smiles
I want to meet him, Mena says
But you can't, if he finds out, Kelsey replies but Mena interrupts her
whose gonna tell him, me or you?
Alright fine, I ll think about it, Kelsey agrees .
