My cell started to ring again and I knew right away who was
calling. Jenny was the only one expecting me at that time and I knew she’d call
to make sure I was still on my way. Sure enough, when I hit the call button
which also worked as accept button and I put it to my ear.
“Yes, my dear?” I asked without hesitation.
“Are you still on the way?” she responded with a question of her
own.
“Yes, in fact I am on the boulevard and just passed Highland,
ETA twenty minutes or so,” I announced elated.
“Awesome, come on home to mama,” she said softly and welcoming.
“Say that again,” I pleaded.
“Come home,” she uttered.
“I’m en route!” I shouted.
Half hour later, I pull into the driveway of my destination and
I approached the tiny black metal gate barring my forward progression. Glancing
down at the locking mechanism I realized that all one had to do was lift up the
latch and push the door inwards. So, I did and it opened. Closing it behind me,
I marched across the short span of ground that let out unto the steps and the
front porch. The grass was well manicured and had such a shine that gave it
that picture perfect look and fronting either side of the porch was a pair of
gardens. Different assortments of flowers and plants littered the gardens and I
had to pull my jacket across my face covering my nose. Damn allergies could
ruin anything. I composed myself and breathed in and exhaled. Feeling confident
once again my feet carried me to the steps and up them until I reached the
front door. Automatically, I reached up and knocked a few times.
She opened the door and when she realized it was me her demeanor
went from calm and collected to happy and crazed. She lunged into my arms and I
squeezed her tightly and kissed her on the cheek. She kissed me back and gave
me a firm hug and pulled me indoors. I managed to close the door behind us
while she continued to drag me further inside. I didn’t bother resisting and to
be honest my little head was now in control. As such, all level-headedness was
out the door. It appeared to be the bedroom we were headed to.
