Sometimes I see my mum as a pest but she is so caring when am relaxing that’s when inspiration for new dresses comes to me, but my mum is just playing her part as a good mother. I wonder what project my boss wants to send me to Los Angeles to do. How will I live without my mum, I hope I won’t take time.

It’s evening and I am feeling much better and weakly stand up from my bed and join my mum outside our house.

“mum what are you starring at in the sky" I ask sitting next to her.

“ I was just remembering the old days, when your father was still alive he use to adore and pamper you a lot."

“Really I only remember when I was giving him a hard-time when he want to go to work without me" I muttered as my mum pass me snacks. I slowly crunch the snack

“I always knew you wanted to be a fashion designer for the clothes you were sewing when you were a little girl." My mum said

“Mum do you always miss dad" I ask looking at her

“I don’t always miss him, because you are here by my side.

“Awwn mum am flattered" I said hugging her

“I think you should go and see your boss, she called a while ago when you were sleeping."

“Really let me go shower and see her," I said running into the house.

Few minutes later

I finish bathing and wear a short sleeveless pink gown, I pack my hair in a stylish way and run outside the house. I kiss my mum on the cheek and run towards the bus-stop.

I meet a friend of mine at the bus-stop, he is a mad lover of mine, he has been crushing on me since high school, I don’t like him sometimes I feel like accepting him because my friends keep pestering me, he is brilliant and have the courage to profess his love to me. His name is Ken

“Hi Gomez where are you up to dress in a lavish way" he ask teasly

“I should be asking you that question where are you going" I ask glaring at him while we both wait for the bus.

“Come on tell me," he said looking keenly at me

“Am going to see my boss."

“huh, didn’t you go to work today?"

“I caught a cold yesterday so I couldn’t go to work today"

“Really? So are you better now" he ask

“Yes I am" I replied as the bus arrive

“So where are you going" I ask him as he enter the bus and put his hand forward for me to enter with him.

“To see my grandma, am going to Los Angeles tomorrow to further my acting career" he said smiling

“Awwn I will miss you" I said with a soft voice

“You can come with me to Los Angeles" he replied

“You are mad," I said and hit him playfully on the chest

“What if I say am serious?" He said with a serious expression

“I can’t come, my work is in Florida not Los Angeles" I replied

“I always knew how much you wanted to go to Los Angeles when we were young" he muttered

“I will go but not now, anytime you want to come call me and I will pay for your flight okay" he said smiling

“Hell no I can’t do that, I can’t live Florida just because I want to be a liability to you"

“When did I say you are a liability" he asks

“I know am not but friends don’t leach on each other."

“Stop saying friends I hate hearing that word from you" he reply

“But you know we are friends before you confess your feelings for me that doesn’t change the fact that we are still friends and there is nothing between us." I said trying to stop at my bus-stop

“But you are more to me than just a friend" he said trying to hold my hand as the bus stop at my destination.

“Bye see you when I see you, just remember don’t hold on to things of the past" I said as the bus drive away

I don’t know when next I will see Ken, but I really wish I could run away to Los Angeles with him. But there are a lot of things here that I can’t live behind, I have a great job here that I can’t live behind and a lovely mum. I don’t like Ken anyway if I go with him I will just be giving him false hope which will end up bringing a bad result.
