Oh, reality, how you curse me.
Stepping out into the cool night air, I opened my com, turned it on and dialed the only number I could. Itâs not like I have a whole lot of friends just lying around. Maybe that also says something about me, aside from the fact that Iâm a home body. Just another reminder of how much my life sucks.
It rang twice before someone picked up.
âHello?â Momâs groggy voice came on the line.
âMom! Mom, look, I know itâs late, but I need you to-â
âHermie? Is that you?â
âYes, but listen-â
âItâs so late,â she tittered worriedly, âOh, sweetie, is something wrong? Are you alright?â
âIâm fine, Mom, but look-â
âNo. No. You look, Hermie. I know this is hard for you, but I refuse to let you do this. Calling me at all hours for something you canât deem an emergency? Oh! I just canât... well, itâsâ¦â
âMom... but Mom...â She wasnât listening.
âI didnât want to have to do this, but you give me no choice. Now, I know this is going to be hard for you to understand, a big adjustment, and I know you know I love you dearly, youâre my baby, but I think itâs best if I have a little break from you for a while.â
âMom?â
âI love Joe, honey, and Iâm marrying him. There will be no more pants stealing, sour looks or sex jokes! And I wonât let you call me in the middle of the night with some hair-brained crazy scheme youâve suddenly cooked up!!â
âMomâ¦? Iâve never schemed and Iâm not scheming now, Iâ¦â
âDo I make myself clear?!! Ugh. I mean, the pants, I could let go, but really, honey, Iâ¦â
âMom!â I shouted over her late night ranting, âLook, I just need aâ¦â
âOh,â she gasped in shock. âHermie, donât yell,â she called softly, and her voice quavered.
There was a scuffling sound and then I heard the com go in and out. âLook,â Joeâs gruff voice came on, âwhatever it is, youâre a man, figure it out.â
âJoe!!â my motherâs scandalized voice rang out across my com link.
âIâm not calling to cause problems. I just need aâ¦â
More shuffling and muffling.
âBelieve me, baby doll, youâll thank me for this later.â
âOh, but⦠Joey!â
âFigure it out. Good bye, Kertt.â There was a click and then the line went dead.
Pulling my ear away, I stared down stupidly at my com. âI think my mother and her boyfriend just broke up with me,â I mumbled to myself. A light feminine chuckle came off from somewhere to my right. My head snapped in that direction and I found I wasnât alone.
It wasnât my precious who greeted me, but a stranger.
âRough night?â the woman occupying the bench by the wall asked softly.
I glanced over at her, frowning, and sighed. Nodding a little, my shoulders slumped. âSomething like that.â
She eyed me up and down and offered, âNeed a lift?â
Sure, because there arenât any female serial killers out there. No way. âUhm, no. Thanks though.â
Bright blue eyes glittering, she gave me a sexy smile and stood. âMaybe we could go out for a bite to eat or something? Mmm.
