The knock of the door sometimes can make you feel slightly apprehensive, specially if its your parents wanting to talk with you, some other kids could go ballistic with guilt or fear, thankfully this time I was more than prepared for anything that could be thrown my way, so there was nothing to fear, at least for now.
So, with that in mind, I waited until the familiar face of my mother appeared on the threshold of my door; my mom was a nice person to have around, a strange charisma that made her make friends everywhere, I think probably the only thing my mom disliked about herself was the weight that she had never been capable of burn, no matter how many hours she does of exercises, it gave her a slightly pudgy round face and a slight belly, but besides that she was a very elegant woman and every one around liked her for who she is.
Seeing her smiling face made me once again give thanks to Ginny, my own stupid heroism could have hurt my parents a lot if it weren’t because of her.
“Getting ready to sleep?” my mom said stepping into the room but I shook my head slightly.
“Nah, just reading a bit”
“Good… I just wanted to see how you were, is everything alright?”
“Yes, mom, everything is cool, it doesn’t even hurts” I said smiling at my mother like if nothing ever happened, the next moment I found myself being prey of my mom’s trademark death hug, it was amazing how much strength she had in her body, after all she was barely over 5 feet tall, I swear, if I didn’t know already I would have swear to a pile of bibles that she was a former weight lifter with this kind of strength.
“Oh baby, I’m so glad you are alright!” she said now with the unmistakable sound of tears in her voice “I’m so proud of you, but don’t even think of doing what you did again! You could have died!”
“I’m sorry mom, I just… acted”
“And for that I’m sure everyone is grateful, you could have saved a life today, but please, be careful, I don’t want to lose my kid” she said letting go of me at last, if I haven’t wished for a perfect health bill I’m sure I would be right now in the floor due to the pain “I know you can be impulsive, you got that from me alright, but you are a big boy, even though the doctors told us something else when you weren’t born yet, now so you have to be careful of your decisions, don’t rush into dangerous things again, alright?”
“Alright mom, I’ll be careful” besides, if I got into trouble I had one kick-ass genie at my side, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to get out of troubles now.
“Okay, now, try to rest, this have bee a crazy day for all of us” you have no idea of that mom, but is alright. Looking at her stepping out of my room I found myself in the company of my lovable companion ready for the rest of this night.
