Introduction
I was in my room, when I heard a knock at the door. "Come in" I said, while finishing putting on my shirt. "Courtney, sweetheart?" it was my mother. I love my mother; she is always caring for me. I favor her a lot, except, she had black hair that is cut into a stylish cute hair-do. And her complexion is a bit darker then mines, but goes beautifully with her. And she didn't have freckles as I do; I wish I had her smooth skin. But, I had freckles ever since I can remember, everyone tells me I look adorable with them, but I beg to differ.
"Yes Mama?" I asked her, as I sat on my bed, brushing my hair. I watched as my Mother walk up to me, grab the brush from me, and continued to brush my hair for me. "Tomorrow, we are going to go back to school shopping and then your daddy asked me, to tell you he will be home from his business trip tomorrow night." My mother explains, while putting my hair into a ponytail.
"That's good, I miss him. I hate when he leaves for long business trips" I sighed, while getting up and hugging my mother. I felt safe in her arms. Even though I was 15, I still act a bit childish when around my parents. They always spoiled me, since I am the only child I am use to getting my way with them.
"Me to honey, but you know your father, he is a great worker and wants to provide for us" laughed my mother, from the tone in her voice, I can tell she was deeply in love with daddy and it made me happy to know that. I wouldn't be able to handle a broken family if they should separate. "How did you and dad meet again mom?" I asked her, even though I head the story millions of time, I loved hearing it over and over again.
"Well, I and your father met when I was a freshman in college, he was in his last year and I was looking for the main office to find out what building I would be staying in. I accidentally bump into him, while trying to hold all my papers and bags" laughed my mother, I laughed along with her, I loved seeing her happy. She hugs me tighter as she continued. " I fell and everything fell all over the place and your father helped me pick them us, looking into his eyes, I knew he was the one for me…I must of said sorry a billion times, because I was so nervous. He smiled at me and told me, that it's alright, my name is Hector Gomez, and I smiled back at him. And said my name is Gina Smith. And from that day on, me and him was inseparable. A year after we met, he asked me to marry him, I was and still am in love with him, so I said yes! And now look at us, 17 years later and we have a beautiful home, and a lovely little girl" I looked up and smiled at my mother, she wasn't that much taller then me, only by a couple inches. "That is so beautiful, I hope I find someone who will love me like daddy loves you mommy." I blushed at the thought.
"And you will darling, trust me somewhere out there is someone for you. And he is going to love you and cherish you. Just as much as your father and me do." Enlighten my mother, as she gives me a kiss on the forehead. "Now get to bed, it's 10pm and we have to get up early tomorrow." Mother said, while walking towards the door. I climbed in my queen-sized bed under my purple silk covers and said good night to my mother, she smiled at me and shut the door. I turn, so I was lying on my back. "I hope I can be happy with the man I marry as my mother is to daddy" I yawned, as sleep over powered me.
