Chapter 55 I found her
Chapter fifty-five
Dave picks up immediately," Hello sexy," he says softly. Damn, his voice sounds so sexy, " I'm waiting for you. Where are you currently?"
" Actually, "I saw the surprised look on Nancy's face, " Nancy said I was lying when I told her I'm your girlfriend. So, I called you so she would know".
Dave laughs briefly, " Is she there now?"
"Yes, she is. She's not going to ever believe it if I keep telling her".
" Does she want me to announce it tomorrow morning? Perhaps she would believe it if she sees it in the magazine".
I blush slightly, amazed that Dave does want to let people know he's into me. I just needed time to tell my mom. I wouldn't want Mom to find out from others.
I should call her tonight anyway
"Come on Dave, I told you not to even think of that yet, "I protest softly and jokily so it wouldn't hurt his feelings.
He laughs again, "But Nancy was so unbelieving. Are you still coming by the way?"
" No, I need to call mom and tell her about you. Then, I will be rest assured to let people know who my boyfriend is."
" Wow, you do that. I will see you tomorrow," he says and the line went off before I could say more. What does he mean by he would see me tomorrow?
I hope what I'm thinking isn't what he's planning?
If he comes tomorrow, I won't follow him.
I won't let him keep making me break the office rule. It doesn't matter if Michael would accept it or not. I won't tolerate it again.
I look up at Nancy now. Her look is still skeptical.
I laugh and finish the ice cream with me. I drop the cup on the table and move inside my room.
I take my phone and dial my mom's number. She picks up after the second ring, "Hi, mom."
"My lovely daughter, " mom rejoices on the phone. I smile at her choice of words. She seems to be in a good mood. And it makes me so happy.
"How are you doing Mom? How is Sam?"
"Fine dear and Sam is doing just good. He had a test today and he got an A".
" Wow, really?" I feel a surge of happiness. I know Sam isn't like I am. He's like the opposite. Weak but mentally strong. I've tried to teach him sports but he didn't seem to catch any. But he is always so intelligent.
"How are you doing, Jones".
I sigh, "I'm doing great, mom. Guess what? Dave gave me the papers you sold out".
Mom went still for a while, " How did you find out?"
" Well, he came over to Dad's house and gave me the documents".
" I'm sorry Jones, I shouldn't have sold it. I had to think of a way to get you and Sam to safety. And when Dave kept coming at you, I had to think fast. I didn't even know he was the one that brought it".
I take a sit by the bed and my eyes went to the wall clock. It's barely eight in the evening and I'm feeling sleepy already.
"Mom, it's ok. I understand. I'm not blaming you for that. I never did and I won't start now, "I reassure her.
I can sense her smile, " Thank you Jones. Oh, I heard you said Dave brought it over. But why? Do you think he has a hidden motive? Just like the day he gave me the money, only for him to use it against you the second day".
" No mom. He's plain. He doesn't have any hidden agenda," maybe I should just tell her about everything," The thing is, I got the document the second day you left home. I wanted to tell you but I had doubts like you. So, I had to wait and study him more. And I got to know that he's plain and not that wicked".
" And why are you defending him so much?" She asked and I went silent. I don't even know how to start. I don't know how she's going to take the news, "Hope what I'm thinking isn't what is happening? Jones, have you fallen in love with Dave?"
Yes, she got that right but that's not the issue. The main thing is, Dave and I are dating.
"Yes Mom," I say slowly.
"OMG!" Mom shrieked and I had to place the phone a bit away from my ear. Mom is so dramatic. Seriously, I took that little thing from her.
Guess I'm not a bastard after all.
"Are you kidding me Jones? But he's not the type to love people like us".
I smile at her ignorance, " Actually mom, he is. Dave asked me out two days ago".
I can typically see my mom's head flying off. I bet she would have requested for Dave if she was here.
"And what did you say?"
"Yes. I said Yes mom," I said softly, expecting her lashes.
She chuckles, "Good then. I will be home in three days," she says and the line went off.
I take a deep breath and wipe the sweats off my face. My heart is still breathing heavily as if I've been out doing sports.
Why is mom coming here? What's she trying to do?
Urgh. I don't think this will be good.
