My mother's boyfriend-A Urban tale

Page 23

" I see your mad so I'm just going to stop talking to you."
She texted me.
I blocked her number.
I really didn't feel like talking to her for the rest of spring break.
Maybe when we got back to school.
We only  had 2 days left on spring break anyways.
My mom came in my room to grab the bowl of soup, "I knew you wasn't going to eat it." She said walking out.
She seemed mad.
A couple minutes later I could hear her and Charles arguing in the kitchen.
I couldn't really make out what they were talking about because they were muffled from the walls.
I just knew they were loud as hell.
Then I heard the front door slam.
It scared me.I jumped.
Then I heard my momma crying.
What happened that fast ?
He only been home like 45 minutes.
They were laughing and smiling for the first 30 minutes.
I walked downstairs to see my mom sitting at the kitchen table with her hands in her face.
"Momma ? What's wrong ?" I asked concerned.
At the point , I'm scared.
What if she Knew how I was flirting with Charles.
What if he told her?
What if she's mad at me ?
She looked at me with pain in her eyes.
I stepped closer to her.
"I'm...pregnant." She told me sadly wiping her nose.
What? My old as momma was pregnant ? By the person I liked ? No!
"Really ?" I asked trying not to cry.
She showed me a pregnancy text that was sitting on the table infront of her, "I found out last night..I was going to surprise you but.....looks like I'll be getting rid of it."
I let out a little smile. I wanted to jump for joy! But I had to play the roll as if I was sad too.
"But why momma ? Why you going to get rid of it ?"
She started to cry harder, "He, doesn't want it ...he said if I don't get rid of it  ...he will leave."
The whole situation was so messed up.
It's like I want him to leave my mom but I dont want her to have his baby either.
"Well, it's your body momma." I reinsured her, even though I didn't care.
At the end of the day, I wanted Charles.
