The Dark Side of Fate

23 Mother and Son

-Sylvester-

The altercation at the club got to me.

I was worried that Tamia would believe Dominic.

She had just come out of a serious heartbreak, so it was normal that she would

be guarded.

I wanted the evening to be fun and an experience for Tamia, but they ruined it.

I respected how Tamia took it, but Dominic was wrong, and I was determined to put him in his place.

When Tamia wrapped her arms around me and told me she trusted me, I was relieved and determined never to break that trust.

I might not have confessed my feelings, but I wasn’t confused about them.

I was sure, and I could see it in her eyes too. Loving her will be easy.

I woke up very early to go and see my

mother in Lucland. I could not disregard the

summon.

Although I was not enthusiastic about it because I would see Dominic, I had to see my

mother.

I got out of bed, and looked at Tamia sleeping peacefully in my t-shirt.

I was tempted to wake her up and make love to her before leaving, but I decided against it

last minute.

I knew she might be tired and needed her energy. So I kissed her gently and went to get ready to leave.

I needed to arrive at Lucland for breakfast. I hoped I wouldn’t have to spend the night there so I could come home to Tamia.

Our relationship was new and young;

distance and time apart won’t help it blossom.

I dressed quietly and headed out of the house. I linked Marcel on my way out.

“Hey, I am on my way to visit my mother. I didn’t tell Tamia I was going out; please apologise on my behalf and tell her where I

went,” I linked him.

“Alright, she is in good hands,” he assured me, and I thanked him.

I left the estate feeling giddy.

I haven’t been in a serious relationship since Susan, but what I had with Tamia, however short, was mature and real.

She understood me. Knew when to act, how

to act and speak. She was strong and

determined. She was resilient and wise. She

was perfect.

I drove with a smile, remembering all we did yesterday. Her moans, her response, her

grinding against me in the club, and even her responses to Dominic.

I arrived at our house in Lucland, and I was in time for breakfast.

I entered the room and greeted my mother. She did not respond, and I knew Dominic

must have told her shit because she was mad.

Dominic wasn’t with her.

“Mother?” I said and went to sit next to her.

I served myself a glass of juice, and she

looked at me.

“I thought you wouldn’t come,” She said, and I kissed the top of her head, but her

countenance made me sense she was angry.

I sat beside her and served my food, bracing

myself for the coming argument.

“Look at where I live.” She finally spoke,
