I am busy scrolling at my phone when Jamaica’s name is on the screen ..she’s calling

“Cleeyah .! Where are you?!” She asked

“In the house,why?” I know why she calls she thought I forgot this day

“Aren’t you going to the part?!” She’s about to shout

“What??! Where?!” I continue to pretend

“Oh! Cleeyah! you already forgot my birthday..you know I hate you.” I heard the disappointment in her tone

I chuckled and laugh at her..

“Hahha..okay don’t hate me I’m going I’m just kidding.”

“You bitch.. okay, I will wait for you here. There’s are lot of men here and they are so handsome even brother Leo’s friend is here.I will introduce you to them.”she giggled. She seems so happy and excited.

“K.bye!” I sighed hmmmm Jamaica is always Jamaica what do I expect from her when it comes to men. She don’t know how to choose a better one. She just like handsome and didn’t checked for thier attitudes.

I decide to come on the party since tomorrow is my day off and its okay for me to sleep late.

I’m about to cloe the door when mom called.

“Hi sweety.” Hearing the soft voice of my mom is the best part for me

“Hey..mom,what’s wrong..?” I asked her worriedly

“Nothing sweety..its just that I miss you..., you know I’m not in favor on your idea.” I know what she’s talking about and i can’t do anything about that. We already made a promise between me and my parents that I will finished my degree ,have a stable job and live at my own. It’s been 5 months since I separed from them and mom is always like this it feels like every hour she calls me to make sure that I’m okay, she’s asking also about my neighboors if they are good to me. Ohh mom.. that’s why I made a comdition like this cause I wnat to stand at my own..it’s not that I don’t want them to interfer in my life because they are my parents but I am thinking that this is the best for me I am trying living not depending on them.. providing my own needs. I want to live independently.

“Mom... I’m not a kid anymore..I’m okay here and always be. Don’t worry about me mom.” I said to make her calm. Dad and mom are in Baguio.. I think for some business purpose

“But your still my baby.. youre the only one left to us and I don’t want anything bad happen to you so please.. get back home.” Here we go again...everytime she calls or we see each other she begged me to come home. Well.. I can’t blame mom she’s just paranoid after what happened to us... Me and my sister but it’s a long story I don’t want to remember it’s hurting me.

“Mom... here we go again, I will come back home but not now.. you know that.” I closed my eyes to stop my tears from falling I remember that I am going to Jamaica’s birthday party. I opened my eyes

“Mom.. by the way I am going to Jamaica’s party this night.” Ietting her know

“Okay sweetie but don’t come home late okay..lock your door carefully .” She remind me

“Yeah mom...I will..love you”

“I love you more sweetie take care.”

I ended the call I drove my car... it’s a limited edition

Mercedes-Benz S-class. They give me this during my graduation in college.. this is one of my favorite things I have because it’ very memorable to me.

I’m now hearing the loud music.. I went inside and I saw Aunt Celine, Jamaica’s mom. She greeted me and kissed me on my cheeks, she’s very nice like mom.

I excuse my self to her to look for Jam I looked around there’s not so many visitors I think some important business partners of Uncle Jonny and Aunt Celine and I think some co workers of Jam, some are familiar to me. I suddenly looked down on my outfit hmmm.. I must say it’s simple but it doesn’t anymore I am here for Jam and not for other people.

Finally, I saw Jam busy on welcoming her visitors but later on she noticed me.

“Cleeyah! I thought you wouldn’t come.” She kissed me on my cheeks

“I was just joking when we talk.” I laughed slightly

“It’s okay I know you... well come to me Leo is here with his friends..” she’s now dragging me

“I thought big bro could not come?” I frowned

“He take a live. Well even if he didn’t take a live he could do what he wants after all it’s our own company.” I almost forgot that big brother Leo is working on their own company in Canada.

“Let’s go. Let me introduce you to his friends. Gosh! Eeyah! Those two are very handsome specially that Nathan. I think you will like him.” She giggled

I rolled my eyes. “Your eyes are twinkling when you talk about mens.” She just laughed at me and what else could I do when she made already a decision.

“Cleeyah!” I almost jumped out when big brother Leo hugged me. This two siblings are almost the same they really love calling my name when we see each other.

“How is my baby?” He asked me without minding his friends. Even though I don’t know them I feel shy to them. I saw on my peripheral vission their reactions on brother Leo calling me baby. They maybe think we are lovers.

“I’m good. How about you big bro Leo?” He just stirred my hair.. urrghh I’m not a kid anymore big bro.We sat down and he seems happy seeing me.

“Busy..work you know ..Oh by the way.. before I forgot these are my friends Kent and Ian..” I smiled at them and I notice earlier that this Kent is looking at me a while ago I wonder why what he’s thinking.

“You have a good taste bro.” Kent said out of nowhere while Ian is chit chatting with Jamaica

“Geez...she’s my cousin bro.”

Kent smiled .. “Ohh.. I thought you too are lovers.” I told you people some would think we are lovers..
