: Beautiful Moments
I was crying to myself and at the same time, I try to control my breath when I hear the door suddenly opens and my parents walk in.
Rapidly, I wipe off my tears and ran to the kitchen tub splashing water on my face. I try to put on a smile, calming myself down before going back in the living room to greet them.
They look with shock when they turn and find me standing there with a smile.
Yeah, I am just going to pretend that everything is fine that I am perfectly okay.
"Oh honey," my mom came and hug me while my dad kisses me on the forehead.
"I have prepared our dinner" I pressed my lips together, again my mom kisses me on the forehead.
"You should have waited for me to come and do it but thank you honey" she smiles at me and my dad squeezes her hands.
"We have something to ask you but after dinner," my dad says while taking off his jacket.
We all went back to the kitchen to have our dinner. It was pleasant and I enjoy it very much, we laugh and talk more.
My parents were telling me the first time she found out she was pregnant with me and all those moments when I was young.
Then I thought of my wish on my 18th birthday maybe having a sibling would help me out.
"Mom, can I have another sibling"
I put my hand over my mouth; damn I can't believe I said that. I sounded like a kid asking her mom to buy her a Barbie doll that is sold in a store.
My parents look stunned before they both burst into laughter at what I just said.
I watch them exchange looks, my mom rolling her eyes, and my dad chuckled at her before he takes a fork and eats his pasta with a smile.
My mom then looks at me smiling "well dear we'll see but your sibling will not be born tonight"
My dad's head suddenly pops up smirking and my mom shook off his hand.
"Your father is such a cheeky man, trust me, dear. He was so cheeky that's why your late nana Natasha made him stand in his birthday suit in front of the shop."
I try not to laugh at my dad who scrunched his brows.
"Oh, you wouldn't tell our daughter my most embarrassing moment when yet you are one sassy woman I met" he complains.
I felt a little bit embarrassed of hearing this but then again there was nothing to be embarrassed about. These are moments other kids long for.
"You ask for it" my mom took her fork and stacks it in her pasta acting like those high school girls in the movie.
"Oh yeah then you want our daughter to know how mom Natasha scold us"
My mom coughs out loudly kicking at my dad's leg glaring at him. As if he just realized what he was going to say he smiles at me suddenly changing the topic.
"You know what your mom is lucky to have me as her mate" my mom rolls her eyes at that.
"Oh keep telling that yourself leather boy" she retorts. "We both know that no girl at the time could be compared to this beauty" my mother shrugged her shoulders with a proud smile.
My father chuckles "you know they call me a leather king, not some boy" he nodded his head before turning towards me.
"Yeah, they use to call your mom the goddess. I was never interested when my friends who go to her pack school talk about her. I always thought she's just another spoilt brat" he admitted and I saw my mom smile.
"Not until we met each other" he continues "and found out..."
"the goddess was mated to the leather King," I finish for them and he winks at my mom.
I didn't know my parents could still act like teenagers who just fell in love yesterday.
They both smile at each other and I try to push away my other unwanted thoughts like my mate and I.
Putting on my brave smile, I push it all away and basket it at this moment with my parents.
I am very happy that they never neglected or reject one another at first sight.
We finish up our dinner then I help my mom to clean up the kitchen before we went into the living room.
My parents sat me down opposite them; "Adassah, your mom and I went to the Alpha today" I became stiff.
They gave me a reassuring smile that it's nothing bad or what I am thinking right now. Feeling relief, I breathe slowly and nod at them waiting for whatever they want to say.
"We have asked to transfer you to another pack" my dad's shoulders were down, he looks at me with sad eyes.
"Unfortunately we can't move packs now, we tried to ask the Alpha but he wouldn't let us."
My mom took his hand in hers "honey so we have decided another way. We have asked Luna Elle and she agreed to your early college admission."
I look between the two of them with confused "love you're leaving the day after tomorrow"
I let out a breath that I didn't know I have been holding. I guess this is it I am going to miss my graduation but I know I need to leave for me to live this life a little.
So without second thoughts, I accept it, without putting up any fight or even a complaint because, to me, this may just be what I need now.
After our talk I did a group chat with my friends telling them about my parent's decision, they were sad but knew it was for the best.
Later on, I lie there on my bed thinking of certain someone until I finally close my eyes reminiscing on beautiful moments with my parents.
