“When am I getting a new mom? ”
Maya choked and sputtered on her drink getting herself into a coughing fit while I was quite startled but showed no other reaction other than that. I was expecting it anyway
Maya got herself after some moments “You! ” She bellowed “That's no way to tal-” I dismissed Maya with a wave of my hand fixing my attention on my dear daughter .
“Why? ” I asked exuding an authoritative aura with an arrogant smile tugging at a corner of my lips
Isabelle smiled back at me, a fierce determination to win this battle evident on her face “I need a motherly figure ”
“And? ”
“Girls just want their mom sometimes ”
“And? ”
“Need someone to talk boys stuff with”
“You can always discuss it with me” I blurted out without even realizing it and the reply I got was an awkward cough from Maya and a death stare from my daughter.
“Well, we can always compromise on that ” I tried minimizing the damage done. Why does it all go south when it comes to boy's stuff?
Isabelle stood up abruptly and banged her hand hard against the table almost knocking some dishes over in the process “Just admit it!What makes you think you can be able to handle me in my rebellious teenage years? ”
I wanted to reply when I heard Maya murmur beneath her breath “As if you aren't rebellious enough now? ”
I smirked,she was definitely the perfect match for Isabella and I had the perfect plan in mind.
“So let's say I agree, who do you want for a mother? ”I said throwing the ball in her court and hoping she'll make the right choice “Tina? or.....? ”
Isabelle stared at me skeptically, obviously wondering if I was sincere or playing around. So I focused my intense and get down to business gaze on her and in a few moment, her lips twitch upward in a smirk , as if we were communicating telepathically, she said
“I want her” Isabelle announced pointing at an absent minded female entertaining herself with a grilled chicken and quite oblivious to what was going on. I smiled, Isabelle was surely my blood
“Fine by me ”I agreed knowing just how much Isabelle values promises “ I have to keep my own part of the deal then ”
I excused myself before turning to discover the horror on Maya's face but that didn't stop me, instead I added more fuel to the fire
“let's get married”
