Chapter 6:

"Kim will also accompany you to the grocery store." Shawn said and I glared at him. Of course he would nag me about that until I fill my fridge with groceries. Andy looked at me for confirmation and I nodded with a faint smile. I really hate cooking but now that Shawn is at it he won't stop and worst case scenario is when he would snitch on me on my mom. Though I've missed her, I wouldn't want her nagging me on my health and diet. We drive in silence I guess even big mouth Shawn was not in the mood to talk. We arrived at the store did some shopping then headed for my house which was less than fifteen minutes drive. Andy pulled in my parking lot and we all got out but to my surprise my mom's car was parked on the drive way.

"Shawn... What the fuck did you do?" I asked Shawn. He most probably snitched on me. I glared at him with gritted teeth and my nose was literally flaring right now from the anger.

"I didn't do anything." He said shrugging his shoulders with the widest grin ever. He said as we entered the house. I found my mum sitted at the sitting room watching that shitty show she always watch and I rolled my eyes when I recognized the scene. She has probably watched this scene like ten times already.

"Don't you roll your eyes at scene darling. You know how much I love this show." My mom said smiling. Jesus she looks so beautiful when she smiles like that." Ain't you gonna hug your mommy now?" She asked pouting and bashing her eye lashes at me. My mom could be so childish but I love like this when she's smiling and happy. I walked up to her but someone beat me to it.

"Antie leave her she has not missed you more than I have." Shawn said smiling and hugging my mom while he let his tongue out at me just to make me feel bad and jealous. Of course I'm jealous my mom treat Shawn like her real son and even favours him a little. She may think I'm not aware of it but I always know. These two usually gang up on me and I usually feel like kicking them out of my sight but all in all I really always love her and him too. She's the best mom in the world and that's one thing I thank the universe for, giving me the best mom ever. I walk up to them and join in the hug.

"Mom I missed you." I told her sweetly.

"I missed you too honey. Heey Andy join in what are you doing standing there.?" I turned to look at Andy whose face was red now. I know they are not close with my mom like Shawn is but my mom do admire her alot and I can't even really count the times she has spoken so fondly of Andy and how she works hard. We broke from the hug after some minutes of being emotionally held.

"Mom when did you come?" I asked her.

"Yesterday night."she casually said then looked at me angrily. Oh my God what did I do now?" Can you imagine how disappointed I was when I found nothing to cook for supper. Kimberly what do you usually eat?.......blah blah....."there goes the nagging and scolding that I can't even listen to the rest of the words because they will always be the same from the previous about my health how it's important to eat healthy food and staff."can you imagine when Shawn called me to tell me you're starving yourself?" She continued I knew she wasn't done but did she say Shawn told her. I shot Shawn a glare who was pretending not to pay attention. This guy is dead meat for sure. I'll beat him to pulp."Kimberly are you even listening?" Mom jolted me from my murder plan.

"What were you saying?" I asked as I turned all my attention to her.

"You know what never mind. Now I would have cooked something for you guys but the fridge is empty. Thank your little foolish friend here."my mom said glaring at me.

"It's okay auntie we had eaten....." Andy was interrupted by Shawn.

"Didn't we do some shopping? Quick get the groceries Kim." Shawn ordered.

"Why don't you get them. Why are you asking me to do it."I asked Shawn rolling my eyes.

"Get them Kimberly. It's your fault anyway that you starve yourself and now you want to starve your friends too." It wasn't a question. See how my mom favours Shawn. I know Shawn is grinning happily from the small victory. He knew he would win but he just wanted to rub it on my face by asking me to get the groceries from where we forgot at Andy's car. I reached at the trunk of Andy's car leaving hers there and returned in the house. My mom started cooking already as she told us of how there's this man at where she works who she thinks likes her. I don't know how to feel about that but I'll surely support her decision. She served us at the dinning room and we had a meal happily.

"Now that's what we call a meal Kimberly."she said grinning at me. She is a good cook I think the best cook. I guess I learned from the best.

"Mom you are making it look like I have not been eating."I sighed tired of the nagging. We talked alittle bit and Andy and Shawn left later in the evening. My mom decided to spend some time with me so she spent the night at my place. She made me cook dinner and we ate then I cleaned the dirty utensils in the dishwasher as I cleaned the rest of the kitchen spotless clean.

"Ooh my baby. Don't you think this habit is bad?" My mom asked from the kitchen counter as I cleaned it.

"Huh? What habit mom?" I was confused.

"This cleaningness."she said spreading out her arms to I indicate what I was doing.

"How is being clean a bad thing mom. My friends always tease me about it all the time." I said chuckling.

"Can you blame them. You're too much of a clean freak Kimberly. I think you got it from your father. He was a clean freak too." She told me and I froze. I hate my father and I hate mentioning him or his name being mentioned. I hate it and my mom knows it too but she still said it anyway and it made me really angry. I stopped what I was doing and left my mom and went upstairs.

"I'm sorry honey but maybe it's time you confront your fears now please."I heard my mom saying from down the stairs. I continued walking up the stairs and I heard her calling my name too but I went on and I reached my room and banged the door hard. Well maybe I'm overeacting but I hate it when my mom behaves like everything is fine when it's not. I laid on my bed and set my alarm clock at six thirty in the morning. I then walked to my closet and changed into a shirt and a pajama short and headed to the room to sleep. Just when I was about to sleep I heard a knock. It's probably my mom apologizing for her shitty comment earlier but I put my pillow above my ears to stop hearing the irritating knocks. Fucking shit. My mom should go to sleep already. She just can't stop knocking the fucking door and I feel like I should break it.

"Go to sleep mom. I want to sleep and wake up early and go to work." I shouted so she would stop knocking.

"Okay. Sweetheart have a good night and I love you so much." I heard her say but I didn't reply but I smiled as tears rolled my cheeks wondering if I would ever have my stupid father say those words to me. Within no time I cried myself to sleep and I was in dream land already.
