Chapter 36
He froze. He had no idea what to say. It was sad because this woman was his
birth mother but he didn't know her at all. The idea made him hate Joshua even
more. He'll pay, he thought.
Suzanne : Kai ?
Kai : I'm here. Sorry, I...
Suzanne : I need to see you ! Please say yes. Your dad will be here too.
Kai : genuinely I want to meet you too.
Suzanne : Do you have our address ?
Kai : Yes.
Suzanne : Is tomorrow afternoon fine ? Let's say 5 pm ?
Kai : Yes, I can make it.
Suzanne : I'll make some snacks. Oh, I have no idea what you like !
Kai : he chuckled Whatever you do, it's fine.
Suzanne : Ok, ok. Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
Kai : Tomorrow.
Later
He went back to the house. He was starting to consider this home. He looked
for Bonnie and found her in the backyard. She was doing yoga with Elena.
Kai : Hey, girls.
They both smiled and greeted him.
Kai : I need to talk to Bonnie.
Elena : Of course. Don't forget to practise these breathing exercices she patted her shoulder and went inside
Bonnie : Anything wrong ?
Kai : No. I-I called my mom today.
Bonnie : How do you feel ?
Kai : A bit weird but mostly good.
Bonnie : That's great.
Kai : I'm meeting my parents tomorrow and I really want you to come with me.
Bonnie : Of course, I'll be here.
Kai : he touched her face I love you.
She looked in his eyes.
Kai : You don't have to say it back, I just needed you to hear it he leaned in and kissed her
She responded to the kiss with a fluterring heart. He loves me, he loves me, she
thought.
Kai : Where do we stand now ?
Bonnie : I need you in my life.
Kai : Yes but I mean as what ?
Bonnie : What's the word used these days, mmmm...
Kai : Boyfriend, please say you meant that.
Bonnie : Yes, that one.
Kai : Yayyyy he kissed her again
She giggled in the kiss.
The next day
They were driving towards Woodchurch.
Kai : I'm so nervous.
Bonnie : It's normal, you've never met them.
Kai : What if I'm not what they expect ?
Bonnie : You're the prodigal son, they'll love you no matter what.
Kai : I guess so.
They entered the town limits and he focused on the GPS instructions. He parked
in front of an average house.
Bonnie : Ready ?
Kai : Yes.
They left the car. Bonnie grabbed his hand and squeezed it lightly. They walked
to the front door and rang the doorbell. His heart was pouding. The door
opened revealing a middle-aged woman. She had long dark hair with grey
streaks showing here and there. She had a fair face.
Kai : Mrs H-Hamilton ?
Suzanne : she grinned Please call me Suzanne or mom she engulfed him into a bear hug
Bonnie smiled and giggled when she saw Kai didn't really know what to do.
Suzanne : she pulled away Oh, who's this lovely girl ?
Kai : That's Bonnie, my girlfriend.
Suzanne : Pleased to meet you.
Bonnie : Likewise.
Suzanne : Come inside, your father really wants to meet you.
