Guys, I apologise. I know this has been a long time coming. But it is here now and I hope it’s good enough. I can’t wait for the day I complete all the stories I have started on this blog.

 

 

She called out to her mom as she went into the house with her shopping bags.

“Who died?” her mom asked

“No one” she answered

“Then why are you making all that noise? My grandbaby is sleeping”

“Oh, sorry”

“Did you get everything?”

“Nope. I got distracted”

“By what? Or is the better question by who?”

“I bumped into Jeff today”

“Jeff? Which Jeff?’

“Porter”

“Oh God no.”

Ever since that incident with Jeff, her mom had disliked him with a passion. Her mom, Karen didn’t initially like Jeff for her daughter because she said he came off as a player but he however, won her over with his sweet gentleman side. He didn’t just break Laura’s heart, her mothers’ was shattered in the process. Laura and her mom had always had a fantastic relationship but they got closer when her dad died after she graduated high school. Karen couldn’t bare to be in the place she had loved and started a family with her beloved husband, Robert and following her daughter’s break up, they moved out of the town they had lived all their lives.

“So, what did he want? And how did you guys meet? It’s been over 10 years, right?” Karen asked

“He didn’t want anything. It was a chance meeting.”

“So, are you gonna see him again?”

“No, not really. We exchanged numbers, though. He probably won’t call.”

“That is probably for the best, baby girl. You have so much going on now and don’t forget Avery. She already has a sorry excuse of a man for a father. She doesn’t need another.”

“You’re probably right” Laura sighed.

“I am right. Not probably” Karen chuckled patting her daughter as she left the room.

Laura was lost in her thoughts for a while when her phoned chimed pulling her back into reality.

“It was nice seeing you today. -Jeff”

“Same here” she replied.

Across town, Jeff was laying up in his couch wondering what good he’d done lately to be blessed with a chance meeting of the one woman he knew he needed. He knew that if he was ever going to get her back, then he needed to come correct and that meant ensuring that his life was free from all the womanising shenanigans and luckily for him, he left that life a while back. If Laura was ever going to be his woman again, he needed Ms Karen on her side and he knew that was the hard part. He had absolutely no idea on how to get on her good side but he knew that a sincere apology for hurting her daughter would be a great start.
