Jenny

"Honey, what are you waiting for? All the guests missed your voice. they want to hear you singing, "my mother cupped my cheeks. actually, I was in a very bad mood after I went to the bar, not because the bartender refused to give me alcohol. but because that guy I met! I hate arrogant rich people like him! he looked so devilishly handsome! but he treated me like a whore!

"Okay mother," I smiled and instantly agreed. my mother wishes over my neck. she just needs to snap her fingers and I will do anything she wants me to do, She's all my life especially after the death of my father.

I walked close to the piano in the middle of my mom's restaurant and I started to sing my special song. After I've finished everyone clapped for me. But there's only one man who stood up and rushed towards me. It was the first time I've seen him at my mom's restaurant. He was too elegant and not too old either. but he was still old enough for me. I didn't know why but he reminded me of my father and his gigantic charming smile.

He stepped closer from me as if he was in a hurry and cupped my face smiling widely "WOW, that was amazing, Who are you? Where're your parents?" he stressed as every word came out of his mouth.

My mother hastened towards us "yes, I'm her mother !!" she raised her eyebrows. She is such a protective mother. I was a bit worried too from the man overreacting.

"Is that beautiful girl working here in this restaurant ?" the man asked my mom.

"No, she is my daughter and I'm the owner of that restaurant! Is there something wrong ?" my mom pulled me close to her and placed her hands on my shoulder gazing at the man in curiosity.

"First I want to congratulate you for having a daughter like her with such a good voice. second, can I meet her father to make a contract with her?!!" the man rubbed his palms together staring at me and my mother.

"Her father is dead, I'm her mother! HOW CAN I HELP YOU, SIR? AND WHAT CONTRACT ????? !" My mother almost yelled. sure she remembered my father too!

The man blew a deep sigh and trembled "sorry her voice made me forget to introduce myself properly, I'm jack dean the producer !" he raised his eyebrows introducing himself.

"Oh, hi, I've heard about you a lot. but I didn't think that you were so young!" my mother smiled and shook hands with Mr. Jack. I hopped in my place from happiness, I didn't imagine that it was my lucky day!

"I'm not young! I'm 40!" Mr. Jack winked and scratched the back of his neck.

"Wow, you look. Um, younger..." my mom stuttered and said shyly.

"And you look gorgeous too, madame," Mr. Jack glared at my mother.

what? He didn't leave her hands, and I looked like a transparent person, both of them forgot about me and the contract! I'm the main reason here!

"Please call me Nadine," my mom blushed and tugged the strand of her hair back to her ear.

"So I guess I have to leave my business card and I wish that you could call me back to discuss everything, I'm so interested to produce an album for your daughter and make a contract with her,"the man didn't take off his eyes from my mother even for a second, he grabbed a business card from his pocket and handed it to my mom.

"Wow, you've surprised me, thanks. We should ask her first," my mother dropped her jaw staring at the man then she spun her head gesturing to me to say something.

I coughed suppressing myself to not chuckle and embarrass both of them "yes, sure Mr jack ." I raised my hand up. they looked so funny as if love flames lit up suddenly ... love has no age or level. we are not that poor, but this man is over the limits, he's just a billionaire.

"Then can I invite both of you to dinner tomorrow ?"Mr. Jack smiled, waiting for my mother to answer.

"Sure, right mommy ?" I blurted out with a huge smile shaking my head foolishly like a silly who found her candy.

"Okay, Mr. Jack. As you wish, "my mother shrugged her shoulders and nodded.

"Nice to meet you Nadine, nice to meet you too cute girl. By the way, what's your name ?"Mr. Jack glanced at me and placed his hands on my shoulders. Finally, he noticed me ?! I know that my mom's charms could twirl anyone necks and make all the eyes look after her. But come on, he started to talk to me from the beginning for the aim of making me an album.

"Jenny, sir," I said politely.

"No, just call me Jack or father if you wish, you are younger than my son, my wife died years ago too," Mr. Jack tapped my cheeks gently. I rolled my eyes, what! Father! What's going on here ?!

"Okay," I nodded my head.

"Nadine, I wish we could make two contracts not only one," Mr. Jack winked at my mother! Come on! I'm still here! She's my mother for god's sake! At least respect me! I'm not a 5 years old girl!

The man waved for us and he left waiting for my mother to call for tomorrow.

I grabbed my mother's arm and I whispered in her ear " mom, this man was flirting with you for god sake! He likes you," I chuckled

she scrunched her nose shyly "stop that jenny, now let's go home, we need to discuss a few things about your college and this meeting tomorrow,"

"Yes sure mom, you are the most supportive mother in the whole world, I love you and I'm so lucky to be your daughter." I hugged her tightly.
