“Hello darling.”
My mother greeted me when she came home with a bag of Chinese food. It was pretty much our favorite Friday meal. That day I had asked my mother to call the school to tell them that she had given me a temperature and that the doctor had suggested that I stay home.
"Hello mommy." I said innocently as I arranged the dishes on the table.
If I had my diary, I would surely have written the perverted event between me and Denzel Derricks, but no, luckily all those truly embarrassing secrets were in my head.
“How did the meeting go?
"It went well," He took the food out of the bag, "Except for the call I made justifying your absence where they told me that someone was harassing you." He looked at me through his contact lenses. “Do you want to explain to me, Bec?”
Shit.
"I was going to tell you." I swallowed hard, took a seat and started helping myself to food.
“And would it be possible to know when?”
“I didn't want to interrupt your work for me, that's all. But now that you know, I want you to know that it doesn't bother me. I have treated him with maturity.” You're a lousy liar, Rebecca.
“Rebecca, you are my daughter. I care to know everything that happens with you.” Mom set her cutlery on the table and looked at me again.” I'll talk to the directorI don't like that they're bothering you.
"Please don't." I narrowed my eyes. “That will only make things worse. Let me figure it out on my own, please, mommy.”
"Okay, Rebecca," He huffed and started eating. “But if I find out that they keep bothering you, I'll talk to the director, understand?”
I nodded.
"Is that the real reason you didn't want to go today?” I nodded again, she pursed her lips, and then I asked the question I was hoping to ask her when I had time.
"Mommy, do you happen to know the Derricks?" She stopped chewing and took a sip of flavored water.
“Yes. Tyler Derricks, we were friends in high school. After graduation he opened a shop, married Cindy Roberts and that was all I ever heard of them.” Answered. “Why do you ask, daughter?”
"Well, I…" Tell him, Rebecca. “I met his nephew.”
My mother, as if she had said something very bad, stopped eating and looked at me seriously.
Here it comes.
“Stay away from him, Rebecca. I don't want the Derricks to influence you darkness, do you understand me?”
Her vocabulary was harsh, even for someone as sweet as her.
I like Denzel.
What the fuck are you saying, Rebecca? He kissed and groped you!
"I don't want you to see him anymore." He looked away. “That family only carries problems with it.”
"But... why should I do it, Mommy?" Hesitate.
“It's best you never know, Rebecca. Just do what I tell you, I don't want you to see that boy anymore. I don't want to be mad at you if I find out you're still talking to her.
I nodded and kept silent.
From my mother's reaction, there was something she was hiding from me and she had to find out before continuing to talk to Denzel.
After lunch I stayed in my room watching The OC, I was almost at the end when someone knocked on my door.
"Come in." I said.
Joe appeared in the doorway and walked over to me with a box of chocolates. What he didn't know was that I had a cocoa allergy.
"Hello beautiful." I took the box and placed it on the other end of the bed. “They said you were sick and I got worried. Anne came too, but I told her to give us some space. He's downstairs talking to your mom.”
"Hey, Joe…" I bit my lip nervously. “Perhaps my mother will be disconcerted, I haven't told her about you.”
"Well, I guess it wasn't necessary. I loved your mother.
What the hell was he doing in my house?!
"I want you to know that I don't care what they say about you, Rebecca," He said, and I suddenly felt his hand on my leg. “I want to court you.”
Joe was a good fit, he was a great guy and my mom liked him, but...
Denzel.
What the hell are you doing when you think of him?!
"Dinner's ready." Anne saved me by appearing in the doorway, gave me a light hug, and dragged me upstairs.
During dinner everything had been a little awkward, Mom asking Joe questions and he answered without any fear, and Anne flattered him. But I was left out.
The only thing he did was think about the damned Denzel and his lips. In those damn lips that ate my mouth with desire. I had just met him my first week of college and he was already causing me problems and stupid sexual desires.
"Excuse me." I got up from the table and headed towards my room. I locked the door and flopped onto the bed.
All I wanted was to spend a day in peace, but the problems came to me!
"Tired, Rebecca?” I opened my eyes and saw him. Denzel was sitting on my balcony without fear of falling.
"Denzel," I got up. “What do you think you're doing?”
"Do you really think that inviting him to your house to eat with your mother and receive chocolates from him will ensure a relationship with him?”
“That is not your problem. Get out of my house, now.”
"You're dumb." He came over to me. “You didn't go to class to avoid me.”
"Get out of here, Denzel, or I'll have Joe get you out of here." I threatened him. “I want you to go.”
"I just came to give you this." He handed me a red sheet. “This must have been a joke.”
Without looking at it, I took it, crumpled it up, and threw it away.
“I see.” Spun around. “I'll go before your boyfriend comes and I have to explain him too much.”
"Yes, he is my boyfriend. And?” He climbed onto the balcony. “Do you care, Denzel?”
