New beginnings

I set my pen down, gathered the scattered pages together and put them in a neat pile on the boardroom table between us.

“There. All done,” my mother said, putting her own pen down and smiling over at me. We sat quietly for a moment. “I’m proud of you, darling,” she broke the silence. “You’ve come further than I ever imagined.”

I swallowed a lump in my throat. “I’m just sorry it’s taken me so long, Mom,” I admitted.

She shrugged. “I knew you’d get here eventually,” she said. “You’re not like him, you know. I was worried for a while. That you might try to become your father.” I shook my head, but she was right. I’d spent years being a complete dick while I tried to be the man he wanted me to be. Truth was, I didn’t even like that man. “You’re better than he is, Alec. You know that, right?” she said softly. I felt myself melt a little.

“I’m just trying to find my way, Mom,” I replied.

“Well, you’re on the right track. And that woman is going to help you get there. Sasha…” she continued. “I like her, Alec. I like her a lot.”

“I like her too,” I said, smiling.

“Oh, I can see that,” she chuckled. “I’ve never seen you so taken by anyone as much. Or any thing, for that matter. There was a time I thought we’d never drag you away from that workshop of yours. Do you remember?”

I grinned back at her. “I still have it.”

“I know. But I’m not allowed in anymore.” Mom shook her head and laughed. “I hope you haven’t applied the same rules to her.”

My smile was rueful. “There was a time… But not anymore. Now she’s welcome into any part of my world.”

“As it should be,” Mom nodded in approval. She glanced down at her hands clasped together in front of her and I knew she was thinking of how much was missing from her own relationship. My father was a motherfucker. He treated her like shit, and she’d put up with it for too long.

“You don’t have to stay with him, you know,” I spoke softly, breaking into her thoughts. She glanced up. Her smile was tender.

“I love him,” she whispered. “As much as it hurts. As much as I know I can’t trust him. He’s in my heart.”

I reached out and put my hand over hers. “You’re beautiful, Mom. You’re smart, you’re charming…and you’re young enough to start over if you want. I’ll stand by you, whatever you choose.”

She curled her fingers through mine and squeezed slightly. “Thank you, darling.” The silence was heavy for a second and I saw her pinch her lips together. “You know…you always were my favorite son, don’t you?”

I chuckled. “I’m your only son, Mom.”

She looked up at me and winked. It was impossible to keep her down for any length of time.

“I think you’re going to be a wonderful husband, Alec.”

I gave her hand another squeeze. “I’ll be the very best I can be.
