The bad boys good girl

chap 44

Thursday

I woke up and stretched off the bed. It's Thanksgiving and I'm pretty sure my mom is already up in the kitchen going crazy.

I take a shower and put on a white long sleeved fitted v-neck and a pair of grey slacks. I tie my hair in a pony and head to the kitchen to help out.

When I got there the kitchen was empty. Lights off, everything put away, nothing on the stove or in the oven.

"Mom?" I called a bit worried

A minute passed and then my mom walked in the kitchen her pj's still on and pieces of her golden locks sticking out her braids.

"Why aren't you cooking? Today's thanksgiving we should get started. " I said

"Oh baby, " she said moving the strands behind her ears, "the Hayes's invited us for their dinner tonight so I thought maybe being near Hunter again over a dinner would help you guys solve the issue" she said

Its like I could almost hear the despair.

"Mom why would you think that?! No" i shouted

"You've been crying about him for the past month I'm trying to help you out missy" she sassed

"I never asked for your help, you ruined everything! " I yelled

"How on earth? Celeste are you okay?" she asked getting angry

"No Im not!" i shouted holding back my tears

"Hunter already moved on mom, he could careless about me now he has a girlfriend. It's over there's no chance okay! I was already invited but Hunter snatched it away from me quicker than I could even blink. I don't wanna go, cancel it and we can have our regular Thanksgiving dinners." I managed to say without crying another river

"Baby, "my mom said sympathetically

"Just please cancel," I said in a calmer tone

"I-I I Cant its too late now, they're probably already making dinner for us all. It'd be too inpolite to cancel on them like this I wish I could " she said sliding her hands through her messy braids.

I sighed and held in my tears, "it's whatever " I said and walked into my rooming slamming the door shut.

~Couple hours later~

"Hey baby," my mom said knocking on my bedroom door

"You can come in" I said

She walked in and I closed my computer head giving her all my attention. She had rollers in her hair and a hot wand in her hand.

"I just came in to say that we're gonna be leaving for the dinner soon if you still feel the same then I'll leave you some money for takeout okay? " she said

I could see all the sadness on her face. Thanksgiving is a big thing for my mom, we never missed a year or never have we not gathered together as the small family we are. She loves it cause she gets to cook and be with us, just laughing and talking and enjoying each others company since we barely have time to do things like this. I know if I didn't go she'd be devastated.

"You wanna do my hair?" I asked looking at the hot wand

She smiled and started for the bathroom as I got off my bed following her.

"I'll just leave this here to heat up a bit finish off with your makeup then come get me when as soon as your done" she said

I nodded and put some hairs behind my ear. She left the bathroom and I stripped naked to go take a shower.
