LAKYN

I follow the woman inside a small but meticulously clean house.

The furniture looks well lived in but the atmosphere is cozy rather than shabby.

Curtains and rugs are colorful and there are many photos hanging on the walls.

“Can I get you anything to drink?” the woman offers.

I shake my head, surprised by her friendly smile. I guess if she’s so happy to see me, she must be his ex.

That makes me feel marginally better that he isn’t cheating, but I’m still disappointed that he didn’t tell me he had an ex and two kids.

I swallow the hard lump in my throat, suddenly feeling tongue tied. “I was looking for Cash, I…”

I don’t really know what to say right now. Lame, I know.

“I’m sorry sweetie,” the woman smiles. “Cash is at work right now and he has a shift that doesn’t end until later this afternoon. The gym closes at six on a Sunday and he’s gonna be there until then.”

I force a smile that doesn’t quite reach my eyes, unsure about how to ask her about the status of her relationship with Cash. “Sorry, I didn’t know. He left something at my place last night and I was hoping to catch him.”

I stop talking, worried that what I just said sounds bitchy. Even if she’s his ex, I’m sure she doesn’t like a reminder that he was with someone else.

She smiles, moving her long, blonde hair away from her face. “Do you want to leave what he forgot with me, or shall we hang out and wait for him? He should be back for his lunch break. The gym is literally around the corner. You should stay and have lunch with us. I was making his favorite omelette and bacon and sausages. I love brunch and whenever he gets to spend some time with me, I take the opportunity to make him his favorite. He’s loved my potato and onion omelette since he stopped eating baby food.”

Baby food? How long have this woman and Cash known each other?

“Oh, I wouldn’t want to impose,” I stutter, thinking of a polite way to get out of a potentially awkward lunch.

Her smiles widens. “Nonsense. Cash has been talking about you non stop, Lakyn. I’ve been begging him to bring you over. He’s never brought any girl home to meet his old mom, but then again, he’s never even talked about any of his dates before you. So I knew you were special from the moment he mentioned you.”

Wait a second. “His mom? Do you live with Cash’s mom?”

The woman giggles. “Well, it would be a little hard not to, unless I wanted to have some kind of out of body experience.”

What? “Wait,” I gawk, as it finally dawns on me. “Are you Cash’s mom?”

“Who did you think I was?” she asks, now looking a little confused. “I’m Lena. Cash’s mother.”

I know I must look like a fish out of water with my mouth wide open. “But… But you don’t look old enough to be his mom.
