Hi!
It's Emma.
That was unexpected!
So, I'm currently back home regularly with Mom, and, imagine my surprise to come downstairs one morning to see Mom introducing Louisa to me.
Yes, that Louisa!
I told her, "I already know. She's the one that did all that stuff with me and Luke."
Mom looked really embarrassed and ashamed with herself for her naivety, "I'm so sorry, Emma. I had no idea who she was."
Louisa chimed in, "I really didn't expect this, I have to say."
Mom quickly stepped in to say to her, "I can't be having you around my daughter I'm afraid, after all you've put her through. No one treats my daughter that way and gets away with it."
Louisa assessed Mom's words, "Is that a threat?"
Mom warned her, "A real mother would do anything for her child, even grown-up."
Louisa folded her arms defensively, admitting, "I have a son. He was taken from me because I was too young when I had him... I really had no choice..."
Mom smirked boldly, "Like I said, 'A real mother would do anything for her child.' You're no mother, so don't pretend you know what it takes; to put someone else's life before your own, to look after them, to provide for them, to sacrifice, to nurture, and continue to do so even when they're old enough to know better. You're irresponsible and selfish, Louisa, and your son is better off without you."
Louisa was overcome with a surge of emotion, showing a vulnerability I'd never seen from her. She was genuinely breaking down in tears before our eyes, falling weak as she loses her strength to stand. After a moment, she settles down enough to say, "You're right... The only thing I have is my body, and I fucking well use it to get me by... I just want to be able to afford to live comfortably, maybe take my son back from the system, and get to know him..."
I just wanted to shut myself off in my room and shut down, but I was compelled to listen to Louisa, and started to feel the swell of sympathy in me, and I hated that.
Mom wasn't buying it, "That's not my problem, and it certainly isn't Emma's, so you can fuck off."
Louisa wiped her face on her sleeve, asking, "I guess our date's off?"
Mom looked ready to slap her, showing her the door, "Mooch off someone else, you conniving cunt."
I really enjoyed that last part, watching Louisa leave like some final closure to our time together. It felt cathartic!
I apologised to Mom after Louisa left, "Sorry if I ruined your plans for today. I guess you were looking for some company?"
Mom sat me down in the lounge with her, "I have you for company.
"How's things with Hershey? Have you heard anything? Have you messaged? What's happening? You are trying to get him back, right? He won't just come back to you, you know?"
Mom's concern was cute, making me feel warm and wanted, "I'm letting things go. I had a good thing at the bungalow, but it's time for new things, and new people, and someone must want what I have to offer..."
Mom joked, "A hot mom with her own house?"
I blushed, "I'm trying! I swear!"
