Chapter 10
“Did you hang the baloons up on
ceiling?” i asked worriedly.
“Already done mistress!” replied
Harry.
“What about presents?”
“They’re all placed on the big white
table you want us to decorate mistress!”
“Stop calling me mistress!”
“Ok mistress!”
“Harry!!” I yelled shotting a
so-called angry look, then laughed and hugged him. “Thanx alot.”
“Not a problem Sky. It was all fun!
Especially when Tim lost his balance and fell upon the baloons he was trying to
hang up! They all exploded loudly! Ha-ha!!!”
“What?!” i yelled in disbelief.
Baloons were hanging from everywhere and also from ceiling.
“Hey, we bought the new ones!” he
assured me.
“Ok.” I said with a relieved tone. The
last thing i wanted was a problem in my daddy’s birthday party.
I looked at the big poster Tim and
Thomas were trying to hang up on the wall of our big living room. I sighed, a
year had passed. A year had passed with heartbreaks, tears and happy memories.
I’d graduated from high school and was going to start Florida state University
to study economics in the Autumn of this year. Still being not to be able to
find something about my mother was keeping my mind busy, but I’d promised
myself to try everything i could. In fact, I hadn’t wanted to find more about
her or MEET her, cos i wasn’t ready. Maybe dad was right, what would some more
information gain me? I wouldn’t even dare to call her “Mom” at all.
“He’s seen on the corner of the
street!” squealed Brigid, Auntie BJ’s little 5 year old daugther. Her shrill
voice brough me back to reality.
“Are you alright sweetie?” a whisper
brushed my ear, two strong arms enveloped me into a hug from my back. I nodded
as a yes as Uncle Howie turned off the lights, everybody waited impatiently in
the dark for my daddy to turn the doorknob and enter our living room now
decorated with lots of baloons hanging from there and there, a big poster
written “Happy Birthday Daddy Nicky!” on the wall across the front door and a
big birthday table. Everybody was invited. All their management, of course
other boys and their families, famous Carter clan with more members such as
husbands and kids of my aunties and newly wed Uncle Aaron.
We, Chris and me, had struggled a lack
of difficulties throughout our strong relationship. It was different from any
other relationships, just one year grew us closer than any other lovers. We
were soulmates. We even had sex two weeks before for the first time and it felt
so good to be much close to him. He was the right person for me. My only fear
was, that i’d have the same destiny as my mother. What i didn’t know at that
time was a baby growing inside me.
