Peaceful dinner and telling Lucy about Mr willson

"Hi mum"

"Welcome laura" Lucy Smith, Laura's mother greeted and hugged her

"What are you cooking again mum?" Laura knows her mother isn't a fan of cooking. They once had a cook but that was before their father died.

"Oh please don't make fun of my cooking. And go call on your brother from his room darling " Lucy added seeing the mischievous look on her daughter's face

" Don't lay a finger on him Luara"

"Of course mum. I'm not a bully"

After some minutes she saw Laura pull Luke into the kitchen with his ears.

"Ouch! that hurt like hell" Luke complained and rub his ears

"I don't know what you are always doing in your room and can't help mum on the kitchen?"

"You definitely can't get a boyfriend talkless of a husband if you keep acting like an old army?" Luke argued back sticking out his tongue in a way Laura hated. Laura chase him around their small kitchen table.

"Ok children. Let's wash our hands and have a peaceful dinner" Lucy interrupted their chase. They did as they were told and were in the middle of their meal when Luke announced that he will be having a sleep over and a date the following day. Laura choke on her food and her mother pat her back.

"On a date? What for? Aren't you a kid?" Laura asked in bewildment

"One question at a time sis" He replied "And beside I'm twenty one last month March incase you haven't notice.... This is my ninth date in three months"

"So? I haven't gone on a date in two years now"

That made her mother and Luke laugh so hard

"What's so funny?"

"You are twenty six Laura. It's high time you get married and stop putting on an angry face everytime" Lucy said to her patting her shoulder

"But... "

" No but darling. You have such a beautiful face and beautiful blue eyes, why put it to waste"

"Even Dora had a boyfriend. I haven't seen one with you before " Luke put in

" Shut your mouth before I shut them for you" laura retorted

"That's why you are still single"

"Say that again and let me slap you with this chicken wings"

"Enough!" Lucy shouted at them "Can't we have a peaceful and quiet dinner without you guys arguing?"

The house was filled with silence and a screamed escape Luke's mouth

"Ouch! Mum, big sis kicked me"

Lucy grab Laura's ears making her scream and the house was filled with screaming

What a peaceful dinner they are having!

* * * *

"Can't believe Mr Lothsome decide to sell his bakery " Lucy said as she does the dishes and Laura arrange them. After their noisy dinner, Luke went up to his room but not before he swept the kitchen. Leaving Lucy and Laura to do the dishes, Laura then told her mother everything that happened during the day.

" And you don't have any idea about what was said in the office?"

"No mum. Not at all"

"But according to your word the space that the bakery was built once belong to the late willson and now their son who inherited the company wants the space back right?"

"Yes mom. But it's been years and Tim shared a beautiful memories with his wife in that bakery and that damn Mr Willson suddenly wanted it" Laura smacked the kitchen counter as she explained. Lucy seeing how angry her daughter was decided to ask her

"What type of man is Mr Willson?"

"He's the devil himself with that dangerous handsome look he has. He's tall and muscular that even his back look attractive and he smiled with one side of his mouth making lady swoon. But definitely not me"

Lucy stared at her daughter and was silent leaving my mouth widely opened

"Mum are you okay?"

"I asked you what type of man Mr Willson was and you describe how gorgeous he looks. And you are asking me if I'm okay? Does that sound normal to you?"

Laura smiled nervously

"It's high time we fix that tv" she took a quick glance at the mother and noticed she was still staring at her. Laura fake a yawn and said to her mother

"I have to go bed now. Goodnight mum"

"I will let you close the topic darling no need to fake a yawn"

Lucy gave her a knowing smile.

"Argh.... I still have to go to bed"

"Alright. Goodnight Luara"

Lucy stare after her daughter and smiled. Her only hope is for her to be happy. She deserves it.
