Chapter 21
It had been a long weekend for Pamela and Amber they were
both anxious to find out how it had went with Alex. Pamela looked out the
window in her room, just admiring the buildings surrounding Baylor. She closed
her eyes and just let her mind fly through her childhood. Everything flashed
through her mind, her father, mother, and sister all flashed through her memory
too. She remembered the trips to Mexico every summer to spend time as family.
God she really missed those days when all that mattered to her was playing and
day dreaming on silly things. Now here she was a grown woman with a daughter
and yet now she felt vulnerable to everything, like her Knight or protector
wasn’t here to protect her anymore. Her father was his protector always there
to make everything ok. She was happy but, she still couldn’t help to feel
guilty. She would go home soon, yet she didn’t know if she could stay in the
house she grew in. Something made her feel unworthy of ever staying in that
house any longer than needed. She needed to find a place to stay at soon. She
turned around and was surprised to see Denise McLean staring at her.
“Sorry, if I scared you dear but I didn’t mean to disturb
you. I just wanted to talk to you.”
“It’s ok Mrs. McLean; I just didn’t expect anyone at this
time.” She took a seat on her bed while she watched the woman that had given
birth to Alex sit in the chair.
“I just want to thank you Pam. You don’t know what this has
done to Alex and his self esteem. You know he really loves you Pam, you and him
deserve to be happy. I still remember the day I met you and I saw the look on
Alex’s face. The one you get when you’re in love and the thing was I saw it on
you too. Pam, Alex found something in you that make him whole. I know he won’t
like this at all, you know me trying to pair you two up….again. But, this will
make my life so much better, to know that he finally is with someone who loves
him with heart and soul. Besides think of what it would do for Amber.”
“Mrs. McLean, I don’t know what to say I am flattered to
know you’re not mad at me for this. I don’t know what to say. I have always
loved your son and not even staying away from him has changed that. That’s why
we are giving this a chance; we spoke about it before he left to L.A.” she
blushed as she told her this.
“Oh my, that is so wonderful and I can’t believe he didn’t
tell me.” She could believe it her son was finally going to try and be happy in
all the ways possible. “Pam, dear you can call me Denise, I don’t like the
whole Mrs. McLean thing.”
“Ok,” said Pamela as she smiled at her.
