Aubrey
I WAKE UP BECAUSE THE mattress dips with someone’s weight and I know it's Daddy before I even open my eyes.
The smell of his aftershave has always been one of my favourite, my pillow often smelled of it as a child, when he came to give me a goodnight kiss after my bed time had come and gone, if he had to work late or was back from a business trip.
He bends down to kiss Mom and then his dark blue eyes meet mine.
I’m still mad at him: our last conversation was a huge blow up.
To this day, I’m not sure if I moved out or he kicked me out.
His lips stretch in a tired smile but it reaches his eyes and one of his hands comes down to my forehead to move away a lock of hair.
“Baby girl, you're home ...”
Fuck!
The warmth in his voice makes my tears break the floodgates again and I know for a fact that my father hates weakness.
Whenever I cried as a child, he would dry my tears and tell me that Richmonds are strong and don't cry.
But this time his eyes look shiny too and I’m about to say something but Mom wakes up and he asks her how she's feeling.
His eyes are still on me though and I know that we need to talk about the new baby and what he expects from me.
“Maria said that dinner will be served in ten minutes. Aubrey, are you staying?”
I look at the digital clock on Mom’s nightstand and realise that Mom and I slept the day away and my stomach informs me that I’m starving.
So I nod: we might as well eat while we talk.
If you asked me what was for dinner, I wouldn't even be able to tell.
All I know is that I missed my parents but deep down, I’m still fucking furious with both of them for trying to control my life.
Especially Daddy but Mom too, because I honestly was shocked and disappointed that she didn't take my side.
Surprisingly Daddy doesn't talk much during dinner but after the maid clears up the dessert plates he clears his voice and asks:
“What brought you here today, Aubrey? Are you finally ready to reason with me and move back in?”
That ‘finally’ is what makes my blood boil and I almost stand up and walk away.
But I guess one of us here has to be the adult, so instead I try to come up with a diplomatic way to tell him that I want to be a part of this family but that I won't be controlled, when Mom answers on my behalf.
“She had some ... uhm, boy trouble, so she needed her Mommy.”
She smiles softly and I nod gratefully that she didn't tell him that I fucked two guys, almost fucked a third and managed to get dumped by all three.
That there's a fourth guy in the picture but he’s probably gonna dump me too because the others have probably convinced him that I drugged them and got them kicked out of the football team.
