"Mom what are you doing here?"
I heard Jake's voice as I made my way downstairs.

Oh no! Not today!
I couldn't stand her presence. Thank God I was going to show mom our shop today.

"What's wrong with coming to see my son?"
She pushed Jake aside and stepped into the house.

"Good morning Mrs Blackwood."
I kept my tone plain and formal. There was no need being nice to her.

She turned to me, inspecting me from hair to shoes then ignored me like I didn't just greet her.

"Jake, I'm going out with mom."
I told Jake as I made my way to the front door.

"Tell Sam, I'll call her."
He smiled my way. My heart rate accelerated but I shrugged it off.

"Jake you can still divorce that lowlife, you know Adrienne still loves you."
She said, expecting me to react but I closed the door quietly and walked to my car waiting for me in front of the house.

"Good morning Rosalind."
It was Clark! Oh my gosh!

"Clark! Good morning!"
I was glad to see him! I thought Jake would either drop him or change my driver because I'd called him but he didn't answer so I called another driver.

"Someone's happy to see me."
He grinned at me, pulling out of Jake's property. I smiled back.

"Of course!"
Clark laughed. "Mr Blackwood just had a rough time at work the other day."

So Jake didn't read any meaning to the long eye contact I maintained with Clark or he just didn't care.

"Where are we going?"
He slowed down.

"Oh... umm... to pick mom and Sam up from the house."

"Okay."
We rode in a comfortable silence.
I was taking mom there so she could decide what she'd be needing since I decided to let her handle everything.

She didn't know where I was taking her, I had told her yesterday after dinner I'd be taking them somewhere by twelve pm.

Since I whispered it to her, she didn't question me about it she understood that I didn't want Jake to know.

"Here we are."
Clark pulled up in front of my home.

"Thanks, I'll be right out."
I opened the door and stepped out.
The door opened before I could ring the doorbell.

"Rosie! Come in!"
Sam said, pushing the door wide to make way for me.
I shook my head.

"There's no need to come in, just let mom know I'm here."
She nodded and slammed the door in my face.
I chuckled.

"Hey mom!"
I kissed her cheek.
They were all ready, I was sure they were waiting for me.

"I'm sorry for making you wait."
I said, waiting for her to lock up the house.

"It's alright. Where are you taking us anyway?"
I smiled.

"You'll find out when we get there. Come on."
I took Sam's hand and led them to my car.

"Rosie, is this your car?"
Sam enquired.
Instead of saying 'no' like I wanted to, I nodded.

"Wow! It's porshe."
My head snapped to Sam. Where did she learn that?
Mom shook her head at us as we all got in.

"Hi!"
Sam smiled at Clark as he turned to say hi.

"Hello there!" He winked at sam, causing her to blush furiously.
