"The one and only." kissing the back of her hand. "I can see where your daughter gets her looks."

I scoff softly. Yes, I looked like my mom, but I got my eyes from my dad.

"Adela, I can't believe you didn't mention him. So how did you meet my daughter? What's your reason for been here." releasing his hand, her attention still not focus on me.

"Mom" I wanted to deflate like a popped balloon.

This is the reason why I don't mention my romantic and not-so- romantic relationships to her she always end up going nuts over the news. My stomach churned, suddenly interested in his reply.

Yes, tell her why you are really here.

"Peace of mind. I was trying to get my girlfriend on the phone, but got no reply. So in my worried state I rushed over."

My jaw drops. He was good. A good liar.

"Me too." looking at me for a moment, shaking her head, before returning her attention to Darryl. "I have been out of my wits trying to get in contact with her. I just don't know why she insist on driving me crazy."

My mind spun. I believe it's the other way around. My mom with her stalker tendencies. Just lurking around, waiting on me to mess up.
