I Do Not Own SON
Chapter 1 ~ Breathe
As I walk along the beach I look up and see the moon shine. No matter where you are the moon is never bigger then your thumb.
I find I nice place to sit where the water just comes up to my toes. The weather is just cool enough to enjoy it. And all you hear is the ocean.
We bought this house because it was right by the ocean. So when we saw the back yard we sign the papers right then. The deck goes all around the house and the stairs go down and reach sand that is so soothing between your toes. Of course are part of the beach is private and with my office downstairs, I had no reason to ever leave. Unfortunately I had to, but right now I was relaxed enjoying the ocean and drinking my wine. Things were perfect.
I gently heard the glass door shut from the house. I knew any minute I would have a brunette by my side.
She sat down right beside me and I open my arms, so she could cuddle up beside me. She had a skirt on and a tight sweater. Her hair was down to let the curls wrap around her shoulders. She was beautiful.
"Hey Mom, enjoying the peaceful night"
"Yes I am, how was your night out? "
" It was ok "
She went out on a date tonight with a nice boy name Alex. When he came and picked her up I tried not to laugh at how scared he was to meet me.
"Just okay" I knew she didn't want to talk about it, so I tried not to push too much.
"Ya "
When she was young we told her that her sexuality was her choice, and she was loved no matter what. Since high school she had gone on a few dates but only boys.
" Mom are you happy? "
" yes baby girl I'm happy, are you?"
" I guess,"
This was turning out to be one of those talks that took for ever to get out but was refreshing afterwards.
"What's going on Dylan?"
" I don't know mom, I feel lost "
" Well is there anything I can help you with. I'm always here if you need to talk "as I grab her tighter.
She looks up to me and smiles
" I know, I think I might go talk to Grandpa about some stuff. But thank you mom"
"okay kiddo "
Dylan and my father are very close, they spend every Sunday together and then cook Sunday dinner for the family. Dylan tells me everything but after she talks to her grandfather.
" Your Aunt Kyla called today, she is going to be here Monday to see you"
" I have basketball practice till 5pm but I'll come home straight after"
" well that gives you time to shower and get ready, I'll tell her to come at 6 , okay? "
" sounds perfect"
Kyla comes to see Dylan when she can. She has a busy schedule but when she is free her first priority is her God Daughter. Kyla comes over and has supper and then Dylan and her go for Ice cream. Gives me time to prepare for a talk I get from Kyla every time she comes.
"I'm going to head in for the night, don't stay out here to long mom" she kisses my cheek and walks away.
Tomorrow is Sunday, family day for the Carlins. Hopefully it's as peaceful as today.
