I sat in the leather rolling desk chair that was place neatly in front of my father's desk. I gracefully popped my legs up on the side of the desk, randomly picking up the stabler that had its place on the desk.
I could be at a movie? Or a mall hanging out with some friend. Something of any average saturday of a fifth-teen year old teenage boy. No, I was in my parents office at their mattress factory in Miami. Doing absolutely nothing but waiting for 7:30 when the lock up and i am free from this mattress covered hell.
I sighed and placed the stabler back in and right full place and leaned back into the chair. Usually he would be with his best friends Dez and Trish. But Dez is out with his family and trish was working. Trish,Dez, and I have been friends since elementary school. Which is funny since Trish and Dez can't stand each other. If they could go a day without arguing it would be a miracle. When ever both of my friends are not around or couldn't hang, I would just call up my girlfriend Kira and see if she wanted to do something.
But as of last week, after catching her cheating on me with one of the basketball player Trent Matthews, I abruptly ended the relationship.
We were together for about two years. Come to think about it our anniversary was a few weeks away. But that's all over now. I just didn't get why she would cheat. I gave her everything she ask for. I paid attention to her. I took her out every time I was free. And for a while; I loved her. And she throw it all away for a night behind the bleachers with Trent. The odd thing about the whole situation was that I wasn't even surprised when I saw her. I think apart of me knew that she was cheating; or that our relationship wasn't forever. Every since we broke up I felt a since of relief. I am happy being single. The only problem about being single is the amount of free time you have; and it seems like everyone is busy now a days.
I was so bored in the house I thought coming to work with my parents would be better than siting in the house all day. Boy, was I wrong.
Suddenly I heard to door open and nearly fell out of the chair. My legs fell from the desk and the chair nearly fell to the fall. After I regained a normal pace of my heart; I look in the direction of the door to see my mom. Leaning on the edge of the door with a wide smile on her face.
" Mom you scared me" I whined holding my chest.
I'm sorry sweety" she said not sounding apologetic at all.
" Why aren't you out with Trish and Dez?"
" They were busy"
" oh; what about kira?"
"We broke up"
"Oh" she said in a voice of shock and disappointment My mother was always a big fan of Kira. She thought she was a good girl and would lead me in the right direction. So to hear we broke up must be heart shattering to her.
" Well me and your father will be done soon. We will lock up and we could go out to eat. How does that sound" she asked giving one of her beautiful smiles which you just couldn't say no too.
" Sure Mom" I agreed.
"Good" she gave me a quick kiss on my forehead before leaving the room shutting the door behind her.
And then there was one.
