PIZZA GIRL
DIANA
I began to teach Isaac how to make Pizza in the absence of mom in the shop. He looked very happy as he kept enjoying it.
“I so love the preparation.” He said and I laughed.
“I bet you do. You look like you just won a lottery.” I said and he laughed.
“You are behind my Happiness.” He said and the door of the shop opened. We both looked up and then we saw my Mother walk in. She was holding a bag in her hand.
Immediately I saw her I grew so angry and I knew Isaac noticed it, because he held my have rubbing it slowly.
“Mom isn’t here. You should go.” I said looking away.
“I am not here to see her Diana. I am here to see you.” She said and I scoffed.
“Well I don’t want to see you.” I replied and Isaac looked at me.
“Diana.” Isaac called.
“I should excuse you.” He added but I stopped him.
“Don’t go anywhere she is leaving.” I said and he sighed.
“Are you not the street boy?” Mother asked and I became so so angry.
“Don’t you dare call him that. Because if Mom didn’t safe me from your cruelty I would be in the same shoes he was now.” I said in anger.
“Diana please. She is still your mother.” Isaac said and I breathed out trying to calm down.
“Diana I am sorry.” She said and I sighed as tears filled my eyes.
“Diana.” Isaac called.
“Isaac please don’t try to persuade me.” I said and he nodded holding my hand.
“Isaac please talk to her. I can see she really loves you just like my sister said. Please, I want her at my party tomorrow.” She said and he nodded.
“She will come Ma’am.” He replied and I looked at him. I was so pained that I already promised him to go If not I wouldn’t.
“I got you an outfit.” She said dropping the bag on the table.
“I don’t need it. I will wear what mom got me. Or are you scared I will disgrace you in your fancy party with your new children?” I asked within gritted teeth.
“Diana please. Don’t make this hard for me. I love you, just like them.” She said and I scoffed.
“And that’s why you abandoned me to be with them. I never prayed for that Kind of love. Just leave.” I said as tears rolled down my eyes.
“Isaac please let her wear this.” She mumbled in tears and he nodded sadly.
“I will Ma’am. I think you should leave now. We will be at the party.” He said and I nodded walking away.
“Thank You Isaac.” She said walking out of the shop.
“Diana.” He called and I bursted into more tears.
“Isaac.” I called hugging him.
“I am so sorry My Love.” He said kissing my hair and I nodded.
“It’s so painful. I feel rejected.” I said and he nodded.
“I understand you Diana.” He said rubbing my back as I kept weeping silently.
“You should wear this. You will be so beautiful in it.” He said and I looked at the bag she left.
“I don’t want to.” I replied looking away.
“Please Diana. For me.” He said and I got vexed.
“Isaac stop it. Stop acting like you can ask me to do anything! Stop forcing me to do things because I love you. Stop!” I yelled and he moved back in shock.
“Diana.” He called in a whisper as tears rolled down his eyes.
“Go away.” I said in tears. I didn’t understand how I was feeling anymore.
He nodded looking so hurt and he walked out of the shop. I fell to the ground as I wept greatly.
“Isaac am sorry.” I mumbled in tears.
