Born into the area of Cleveland , Ohio made me realise just how much I desired an adventure in order to regain my ''Unfounded Wildside" .
You see my dad, Alexander Martin Jones III, walked out on us when Jayni was twelve and I four. Mom took it really harsh it left her with no choice but to relocate us to another city. I remember her telling us New York wasn’t our calling but I knew she only wanted to run away from where the damage was made. I remember the day he left her so vividly, abit too vivid for my liking though.
''We can work this out Alex’’, I heard my mother plead. Jayni and I were eavesdropping from the kitchen trying our utmost best not to get caught , this was a regular thing Jayni and I did whenever Mum or Dad were having one of those ''Adult-only-discussions'' ,'' There’s nothing more I can do for us , Anna , we barely touch one another and we're not the same as we used to be after we had the kids I think we just lost one another on the way'' Dad said , no emotion in his tone of voice .My mother glared at him , as if she was examining his posture and body language , "Cut the bullsh*t Alex! There’s another women isn’t there? Huh? “Mom exclaimed, Dad sighed. That was all she needed, "' Listen, Honey ...'' Mom cut him off, '' Who is she?'' Dad rubbed his forehead in frustration after a groan or two he finally found the words , '' There’s no need for interrogation tactics , we can talk like adults , I mean ..'' , " Alexander Martin Jones if you don’t tell me who the F*ck this women is , I swear , I will cut your penis off and feed it to you '' said mum refusing to listen to any pity story to prolong the matter
.Dad stared at her obviously not approving of her outburst "Its Barbara ." , '' Barbie ,The hobo across the supermarket!" said mom in utter shock that her husband of twelve years would stoop so low , "' Don’t be ridiculous Anna , Its Barbara from C&K Advertising '' said dad , not finding the strength to look her straight in the eye , '' You utter scumbag! , you asshole! You douche'! You , you , you .....'' , tears filled her eyes , lost of word , with a broken soul and a broken heart to match , Jayni and I rushed to our bedroom , I was too young at the time to understand the predicament that my family was under I mean c'mon I was four ,
but as soon as showers of tears gushed out of the eyes of my sister , that’s when it hit me .
The morning after the Ike and Tina scene my mother and father had , I heard our family car pull out from the garage down stairs , which I found extremely weird because it was a Sunday and that was our unwind day , with anticipation I rushed towards my window , Not expecting that my father was the one unpacking the family car .
I looked at him with animosity and resentment , realising that , that man was no longer my father , he was just another male , who resemembled me remarkably , we had the same light ,slightly golden brown eyes , with a rather dull brown hair colour , freckles overpowered our nose and we both possessed the same astounding smile that somehow changed our complete face .
I watched him speed down our street, expecting him to stop or wave or something to show some regret that he felt but instead he sped, speeding his way to a new life, fresh start, my eyes roamed our room, without any burdens too, That specific moment I closed my eyes , after giving the car one last look and that’s when uttered these exact words ''Stupid daddy! , I hate them all! I’d never want boyfriend , eww'' And that's when I made a pact to myself that I Molly Anne Jones , will never ever associate myself emotionally with the male species'
*TEET TEET TEET TEEET TEET*
Woken up, by my dick of an alarm, imp instantly brought back to reality, without a second thought I throw the object across the room out of rage, "take that!' I stick my tongue out at the object, I froze, thinking too myself, vie officially lost it. I slump back into my bed, and let out a satisfied sigh, the comfort of being in a warm toasty bed, felt good, I stare at the ceiling blankly, slowly moving my eyes from one corner to the other, observing and studying the deco' I’ve chosen for my room, my bubble of thought is yet again disturbed by the displeasing sound of my dearest mother's voice.
"Mol!!!" , F*ck my life can this get any worse , I roll my eyes , as if on queue a tall , petite female popped her head , into my bedroom , he short strawberry blonde hair and green eyes always reminded me of that chick with the bunch of fruity names, strawberry shortcake was her name ! An evil grin was spread across her face right then my trail of thought was broken when I heard her say, '' I'm telling!”,
“Jayni, don’t you dare!" I said , she shot me her famous 'its-on-glare'' and I raced after her down the stairs ,pushing , shoving , hair pulling , you'd think this is quite childish and immature considering the fact that I was seventeen and Jayni twenty-five , "Girls!" by now I was being pinned down by Jayni being threatened by the saliva coming out of my sisters "O'' shaped mouth , my mother was just in time when she dashed to the dining room where I was pinned down to rescue me from my face being a victim of a saliva attack , "Is this the way young ladies act ?Like animals ?'' My mom inquired. '' No...” Jayni and I chorused, trying out utmost best not to burst with laughter, Jayni sniffed, that's all it took. I had an outburst with laughter which added to my ''un-ladylikeness'' in the morning event, Jayni joined, we rolled on the floor finding our actions quite hysterical to say the least when my mother cleared her throat.
She looked pissed;
her green eyes shot a this-isn’t-funny-so-you-better-stop-it-now glare. Jayni and I stood up as if mirroring one another actions , I took a deep breath preparing myself for the worse knowing my mother she could be extremely unpredictable and that was one of the personality traits I had inherited according to my family , but just rolled my eyes in denial whenever it was brought up it took my mother a good long two seconds to finally say
'' I made breakfast"
Jayni and I let out a deep breath , wanting to laugh again at our stupidity but decided against it because pissing her off twice in one day wasn’t on our agenda .
We made our way into the kitchen , each an every time mom turned her back Jayni and I would try to get a smack or two at each other , ''Mom , wow you cooked?'' said Jayni gobsmacked that our mother who was an utter disaster cooked a mouthwatering breakfast , the smell of crisp bacon and eggs with toast on the side penetrated the air ,
'' ugh c'mon I have a trick or two under my sleeve '' mom protested obviously not appreciating our reaction , ''Mom why didnt you tell us that you were going to make breakfast , or warned atleast'' i teased , we did after all have the fire department on speed dial , mom just rolled her eyes , ''tita tata , I thought you girls were smarter than to mock your momma bear when she has news ..'' , Jayni and I both looked at our mother puzzled to what she was trying to get at , ''Mom...?'' she mimicked my-lips-are-seal-move , "Mom! what are you hiding ?''I raised an eyebrow
. ''You think I'm going to tell you after you made me a fool outta me , Darls ?'' the suspense was killing me , and from the agonised expression on Jayni's face I could see it was killing her too ,
"Annabelle Jones'' jayni and i chorused crossing our arms . Mom lifted her hands in surrender ,
''Fine , Fine , Fine , i tell you '' , Jayni and I smiled pleased at what we had accomplished , ''Well , you know the chief of the fire department?" mom started , "Yess..Mr Miles" we replied ,
her cheeks flashed bright pink like a school girl ,
we froze.
Our dear mother ,
Annebelle Jones was screwing the chief of the fire department .
"Way to go ,Mom'' said Jayni exchanging high-fives , "Lets not get too excited" Mom addded , "There's more.." , "They'll be staying with us for the rest of the year" ,
Who's they Mom?''Jayni inquired , '' John ofcourse and ...I dont exactly know dear '' , her voice trailing off , I stared at my mother in disbelief of her stupidity .
"Well we'll meet her soon girls , Lezones having a house-warming party and we're all invited '' she added excitedly , this was the first time anyone in our entire neighbourhood invited us to anything social , so I understood my mothers excitement .
"When?'' i asked , '' Next week Saturday ." , ''Sorry , cant make it Ma" chimed Jayni , "Why not exactly?'' said Mom sternly , "Going out with Kyle '' said Jayni sheepishly ,
Kyle was Jayni's boyfriend , I liked him , he was quite sweet and intelligent , just like Jayni , they met on campus when it was Jayni's first year and Kyle's second he offered to show her around , and then one thing led to another ,BOOM BAM , Kyle and Jayni were an item , I guess the Jones Girls really have alot ''under their sleeves'' , I giggled at the thought , not realising that Mom and Jayni were staring at me , i sighed , this is really going to be a long morning
