The blaring noise from the alarm woke me up and as much as I wanted to sleep a little more, I had to get up to dress Adrian up for school and get ready for work. I stretched my hands out and stopped the alarm. I sighed in relief, loving the silence again. I decided to sleep for just a minute before getting up. A minute wouldn't hurt anybody. "Mummy, wakeup!" Adrian barged into my room yelling and I groaned in frustration. "One minute baby," I mumbled, my eyes closed and he kept quiet. Exactly after a minute, he jumped on my bed shaking me. "It's one minute mom, I counted up to sixty. It's time to wake up." I reluctantly opened my eyes to meet with the beautiful eyes of my son, staring right back at me. He had the same eyes as Darian. His eyes were as blue as an ocean and I tend to drown in them whenever I stared too much. "Morning baby," I pinched his cheeks and he giggled. "Morning mommy," he kissed me on the cheeks and I smiled. Adrian was my joy and my reason for living. W

I couldn't help but wonder what I did to Karla to get such treatments from her. She had never acted rude the way she did today. She looked really mad at me as though we had been having problems before. I felt a little tempted to draw her back and ask her what the problem was. But I decided against it and thought to let her walk away instead.I stepped into the company building relaxed, aside from the worry about what Darian might do to me for leaving without his permission.
