“Do you have to leave? But be safe and call or text me.” I pouted as I leaned in for the hug. “I love you, and please remember the goal of this trip,” I shouted, a little too loudly.
“The goal?” she questioned, confused.
“Abigail-Ann. You’re going there to break it off, not give him a good-bye fuck.”
“You’re no fun since you’ve been hooking up with your hot tycoon,” she added, rolling her eyes.
“I kissed a guy once, or twice, and you think I’m hooking up?”
She laughed. “He wants you. You want him. I say you should let him fuck.”
I rolled my eyes. “This isn’t about me. This is about you and Joshua. Break it off, no sex, and then you can pursue Mikkel.”
“I’m not going to pursue Mikkel.” She said, trying to convince me.
“Sure.”
“What?”
“Nothing, just please remember the goal.”
“Got it. Bye, Azzy.”
“Call me.”
“I will.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
She stepped through the door and was on her way to the airport.
“Azzaria.” She came running back inside.
I rubbed my temple. She’s going to miss her flight at this rate. “Yea?”
“Let the good magic happen,” she said and left.
I had my fingers crossed that the magic would happen.
My phone started buzzing and glancing at the caller ID, it was my mom.
“Yes, mom,” I said, answering the phone.
“Azzaria Jane. I’ve been calling you forever. Why haven’t you been answering?” Because I was fantasizing about my boss who’s not my only boss but is my boss.
“I was seeing Abigail off and just getting around and ready for my day.”
“How’s that been going? How’s Nicholas?” Ugh. This is the reason why I could never let my mom know who I’m involved with. She’d get attached to them— even if she’s never met them.
“It’s been great,” I said with a chuckle “and Nicholas and I aren’t dating so I don’t know how he is. He looks fine at the office,” I shrugged. I could hear her sigh on the end of the line, which was followed by a line of silence.
“Azzaria,” she sighed, “you can’t keep pushing yourself away from love, sweetheart, and you can’t spend your entire years worrying about what could go wrong. I’m not saying that you have to find love, but you’ll find out how beautiful life will be when you’re in love with a good man. Don’t use your father and me as an excuse either,” she noted. For the first time in my life, I agreed with her— I’d never give her the satisfaction of knowing that she was right about this, but I agreed with her.
“Yes, mom. Enough about me. How are you? Have you heard from dad?” I asked and gulped. It’s never easy mentioning him , but I hoped he didn’t reach out to her and she’d never tell me if he did. She wanted to protect me too much, but soon enough she’ll realize that it doesn’t protect anyone, it makes us unprepared.
“I’m good, darling, and no, I haven’t spoken to him, nor will I. Go get ready for work and call me later. I love you.”
