There's quiet darkness around me and I sip on my tea thinking about Lola and everything attached to her
She's going to come down in five minutes
Five minutes later Lola opens the door and enters the kitchen
She's wearing her Victoria's Secret pink satin night dress
She opens the curtains and let's the moonlight stream in casting an ominous glow
I'm obscured in the shadows and lean back watching her as she begins baking some vanilla cupcakes
Placing them in the oven, she sits down and her beautiful face is illuminated by the glow from the oven
Her shoulders begin shaking and she begins sobbing quietly to herself
It takes all my will not to reveal myself and gather her in my arms and destroy those tears
You need to let her cope on her own
Lola takes out her phone and calls Anna her coveted best friend
"I've been thinking," she says wiping her nose with the back of her hand
"It wouldn't hurt to get even," her voice rips through the silence even though it's soft and gentle
"I'm making dad's favourite cupcakes; I've been so shit to him lately," Lola explains tapping the oven door with her index finger
She nods her head a couple of times before hanging up
Grabbing some oven gloves, Lola takes the cupcakes and sets them on the cooler
Taking one out of the dish, she opens the window and places it on the windowsill before closing it
"Enjoy the cupcake mum" she says whimsically gazing up at the starry sky
Closing the curtains, Lola trudges upstairs
I've crushed my beer glass and I'm bleeding profusely
I don't feel a damn thing
Not one
