My name is Xander Blayer I live in New York and have just graduated high school with honors and I got a football scholarship to a good college. Summer after graduating high school suppose to be the first step to the rest of your life. But mine took drastic turn.
It all started with my fathers death from driving drunk he went head up with a semi and the semi won. He was business man, a hard drinker and a asshole. But it devastated mom all the same she fell into a deep depression. Latter the funeral she quit her job at one of New York's biggest law firms and barely left our suburban house.
Lucky for us my dad had a great life insurance policy and he was a fucking genius with money and stocks. He left us over thirty million dollars and good stocks that made money for us without us having to lift a finger and all in my name for some reason. I mean I'm his only child and we had a functional relationship he didn't leave my mom anything not one penny she was his wife.
So here I am a millionaire without a clue of what to do. Who the fuck leaves a eighteen year old that much fucking money along with everything they own car, house, boat everything.
I wake up on a bright Saturday morning. It's only a month since my dad died and my mind is still spinning. I get up and walk out of my room headed toward the bathroom when I freeze and sniff the air. I smell breakfast but I'm not cooking it like I have had to do for the last month.
I jog down stairs and find my mother in the kitchen in a silk robe and slippers working over the stove.
She hears me and turns and says "Hey baby breakfast is almost done."
I just stare her blonde hair isn't the mess it has been for the last month. Her face is smooth and her light chocolate complexion glowing again. She even has only some light make up. There is no doubt about it my mom is bombshell, I have always known that but recently she had lost all her natural beauty to depression but it seems she has shaken it.
She somehow takes my stunned silence for something being wrong and ask "Do I look ok am I wearing too much make up?"
I quickly put up my hands and say "No mom your beautiful you look ready to hit the run way."
My mom smiles like school girl and says "Thank you baby."
That was weird though when did she start calling me baby my mom loves me I know and has her nick names for me like sweetie, darling or her most common X. I shrug it off and sit at the table and she hurries and brings me coffee and a news paper. I look surprised but don't say anything about it.
I drink the coffee and read the sports section as she brings my food. I eat not noticing that she is not she just stands by the counter and sips her own coffee and watches me. When I'm done she comes and takes my dishes away and washes them on the spot.
Now I know something weird is going on with her and I ask "Mom are you ok."
She continues washing and never looks at me and says "Yes baby everything is fine."
"Mom look at me." I say in a flat voice.
She freezes and quietly asks "Is that a order?"
I look at her like she is nuts and say "No mom I'm just worried what makes you think I can give you orders?"
She turns slowly and says "Because it's your house you own everything in it even me."
This stuns me to silence and she pulls out a piece of folded paper and hands it to me. I take it slowly never taking my wide eyes off of her until it's open. It's from my father.
