My mom's boyfriend

Candy and I were both talking.

All of a sudden, Mom returned and she says she forgot something at her bedroom, she dashes away, after answering Candy's greetings, she went off to her bedroom.

“Wait! Does your mom have a date or what?" Candy is asking me; I look at her, nodding aimlessly, that showed I didn’t have a clue of where she is heading to.

Again, mom rushed down, I ask her if she found what she went up to take; mom says yes, and she went back to her car parked outside the gate and hurried away.

"Sabrina, is it just me or do I feel like your mom is hiding something?" Candy spoke to me; she carried herself up from the couch and walk inside the kitchen for a glass of water.

As she left, I thought of the possibilities Candy and I aren't wrong; is my mom hiding something from me, or are we just over thinking things?

Candy comes out of the kitchen, she held a bowl of cereal in her hand and gracefully sat back down to the couch; her eyes look for the remote to the TV, she turns it on and at a sip of the cereal milk, she changed the stations at the television, but stopped after coming across her all loved Telenovelas Movie, My Soulmate.

She asks me to join, but my mind right now is too occupied to entertain anything; I can’t stop thinking about where mom had gone to.

"I'll be back,"I told Candy as I went to mom's bedroom; I look through her things, makeup kits, including her bathroom, nothing out of the ordinary seem to get my attention. I turn away leaving her room; my eyes flashed past a little box underneath her dressing mirror, that tiny box became suspicious to me, I ended up opening it, mom left with the keys, I had to pick the lock with my hairpin.

Candy had taught me how to go about it; I saw letters addressed to mom, and it was not written by dad.

I find it extremely shady that a man has been sending love letters to my mom, I could react to this in a different manner, but not when the man who had letters sent to my mom is none other than Mr. Daniel Malik.

The principal at the school.Is my mom dating Mr. Principal?

I go down after to meet Candy, she look away from the TV and ask me if everything was alright, I shake my head and lied my way and sit down on the couch next to her.

"Let's watch some Mexican movies”

I said, "yeah! But it's called, Telenovelas movie and not Mexican movies… She corrected me but with a smile.

I smile back; again the letters from my Principal sent to my mom, flashed by before my eyes. It caused me to cough unnecessarily; Candy rushes to the kitchen and she brought me a glass of water, Idrank a little from it, and kept the glass, at the table.

"What is wrong? You don't look okay!"

She said. I take a deep breath and told her about the letters from my principal to my mom. She was shocked but not surprised, she told me that it wasn't unusual for men to send things like this; and after all, my mom's still an attractive. Single and willing to mingle.

Candy is right and my point is why Mr. Daniel, why my principal?
