Mum
Kamari didn't come down for dinner her parent did the dish together, her min arranged her food and decide to take it to her upstairs, she said is a bad idea if he comes along.
She softly knocks on Kamari's door thankfully she opens it, when she saw her mom she looks disappointed hoping it was her grandma, she left the door open and went to her bed.
Her mom catch a deep breath and put the food on her dresser, she shut the door and sat close to Kamari she turns her face away.
"We are sorry, I am sorry we didn't mean for it to happen that way" Kamari didn't say a word about the earphones her mum was right about it whenever she doesn't want to listen she puts on her earphones whatever you say is dead.
"We didn't know about Jack and grandma telling us he's your boyfriend I was surprised-
"You were never around mum plus if you guys feel the need to talk about why not, you just keep doing the same thing over and over again" Kamari became a little loud she was now reminding her mum how much she nose in her business, go through her things she didn't wanna admit it to her that Nigeria has been really good because her privacy was private without no one invading.
"We just wanna we thought is the last thing you could've thought about-
"Why mum?" She asked.
"You have a business on the line your future a relationship is not one of the items you should be involved in plus you're too fragile-
"I'm capable of taking care of myself, Jack is a sweet guy and I trust him-
"Grandma said the same thing, I'm not here to stop you or deprive you I want to be sure if my baby is okay, if is what you want and you're hundred percent sure of it why not" Kamari's face lit up, she is happy her mum is in support of it.
"I'm a grownup okay plus Jack and I are supportive of each other-
"In what aspect do you mean supportive" her mum cut in.
"He's full of dreams and creativity and I am creative as well, we both believe in family like his family Unites in love me as well dad loves you so much I want to experience the same, I know I don't usually say this to you but mum you're my biggest inspiration, however, I don't want to work so much that I don't have time for my kids" Kamari mum hardly swallow the knot in the back of her throat.
Proud her daughter is prioritizing family first then income revenue,
"Is cool honey, you inspire me as well, what kind of dream is he a rapper, writer, and actor"?
Kamari nods her head negatively with a smile tugging on her lips.
"He loves throwing parties he intends to run a club one day, for now, Nick kinda be responsible for it oh my gosh I don't know why I'm telling you this-
She paused getting off the bed to go get the food from the dresser, her mum insist to hear doesn't matter.
"A club is a job now I don't remember a club ad career-
"Mum apply that to Obi Cubana as well-
"Who's that sound eastern to me-
"Yeah he's an Igbo a club owner perfect example of club runners so if you think is not a career go check it off on google" she eats the piece of bread.
"You don't even know any of my friend's grandma has met a few of them-
"Are they too many tell me about them I don't care if it takes the whole night" her mum showed interest.
"Nick is Jack's best friend, they are in charge of all the parties in Kingston high, the thing is I like him first mum" Kamari started laughing, her mum patiently waited for her to chew the food in her mouth Kamari slowly covered her jaw perhaps the spoonful is large.
"You liked him first you asked him out-
"Noooooo mum why will I do that is just that it happens he liked me too so we gave it a shot. We have been on like four dates, he's going to Harvard-
"Wow great, at least he's not one of my worst fears but the club thing-
"I know mum, we love each other, we have security and are pretty supportive of each other is not an issue he's just doing his job"
"Fine then, is cool I would love to meet Jack for now enjoy yourself and goodnight, see you in the morning" she kissed her, Kamari hugged her before she exited her room.
