Married Bonifacio
I stood up wiping my mouth with the wipes
“Mrs. Kathrine thank you so much for the breakfast, it’s so tasty” I smile fumbling with my bag since I’m late for work
“Don’t you think it’s time you start calling me mom?” I heard her say, I raised my head immediately and looked at her, but was shocked to see she’s serious
“Mum…….?” I drawled in a questioning manner
“Yes dear mum…. I know you might find it awkward, and since I’m not your mum you….”
” No.. no… it’s fine” I muttered hurrying closer to her, I stood beside her with a face filled with smiles
“Mum…..” I called and she raise her head in surprise, maybe she wasn’t expecting that
“Yeah…. ” I nodded my head in smile
“You…you…called me mum”
“Yeah.. I’ve always wanted to do that but I was scared maybe that won’t sit well with you”
“Off course not, come here my dear” She opened her arms in a wide embrace, I didn’t hesitate before rushing into her warm embrace,
We stayed like that for some seconds with her patting my back, we pulled away but I felt on holding onto her two hands
“Mum…”
“Yes, dear…”
“I know my mum is still leaving and trust me I love her with my life, lately a lot has happened to me unfortunately my mum is not here to stand by me, perhaps they don’t even know what happened to me, I know they will be worried but even though she’s not here, she took her path, you stood by me, and supported me at my darkest times, you were there for me, with me every time so tell me….. is it not only a mother that can do that?
So tell me why you can’t be my mother”
“Thank you so much, dear”
“You deserve more mum”
“Alright hurry up so you don’t be late for work”
“Okay mum, take care and have a nice day”
“Sure and be careful”
“I will…..” I screamed rushing out of the house with a face filled with smiles.
I left the house, the whole city was already busy that early morning filled with different people, I was able to flag down a taxi, I entered and told the driver the address of my workplace before he drove off
I arrived at the bar, I paid the driver before stepping down from the car
I was surprised to see our bar crowded in the early morning, I decide to enter and see what’s happening
“Marrisa…!” I heard someone scream my name immediately I entered the bar, I halted on my steps when I saw the number of people in the bar,
I look up in surprise and shock, but I was more shocked when I see my boss smiling at me, the whole people in the bar were hailing and cheering on me
I smiled and bowled in respect to my boss, she shook her head sideways and walk closer to me before whispering into my ears
“Let’s go inside we need to talk” I didn’t argue with her, I nodded my head and followed her cause I was confused at the moment too, I needed explanation for everything that’s happening
She entered the dressing room and I followed behind
“Why are all those people here?” I asked not understanding anything
I watch my boss laugh before saying
“You made that happen” She smile not taking her eyes away from me
“Sorry I don’t understand,” I said not getting her point
“All these people are here because of you, my shop was never this filled up, but after this news of how you twerk and twist your body, went viral yesterday, different people now want to know you and my shop is now trending” She giggled like a baby
Yet! I didn’t understand a thing she was trying to say but I let that slide so far it doesn’t have anything to do with my salary
I wore my uniform and sat at the bar, different customers kept on entering and leaving, I kept on getting tips and extras from different rich men,
Smiles couldn’t stop forming on my face every second…
I was happy today, happy that my presence suddenly brought good fortune to my boss
Maybe good things will start happening from now on. The day is finally drawing near and it’s starting to get dark.
I was suddenly looking forward to what tonight might be like, I look down at my tummy and smiled,
“Mom is making her way to the top” I muttered caressing my tummy knowing that this little beginning is what matters
Hours passed and it’s finally time for me to strip, I was recording and finalizing the sales when the boss came
“Rissa it’s time…” I look at her in surprise, apart from people that are close to me she’s no one has ever called me that in a long time
“Is anything the matter?” She asked flickering her fingers on my face
“Ohh no.. no.. not at all” I muttered jolting out of my thought
“You can see the bar is already filled up” She gestured to the filled-up bar
“Yes….”
“All thanks to you, now come let’s get you dressed, we can’t live them waiting” She winked before walking away while I hurried behind her
We walked into the dressing room and this time around she threw pink lingerie to me
“Isn’t this too exposing?” I asked looking at the lingerie
“No.. not at all that will make us a lot of money you know”
I shook my head and threw the lingerie back to her,
“What happened?” She asked looking confused, I was suddenly angered knowing that she sees me as a means and open door to money
“Do I need to remind you that I’m not a commodity neither I’m I a stripper”
“But…. I…I don’t mean any harm” She stuttered
I sighed and look at her
“Find me a better lingerie or I quit this job here and now”
“Like you have a choice”
“I rather beg on the road than allow you to use me as you please”
“Fine enough…. here are different lingerie’s you can choose the one you want”
“Better….”
I walk to the hangers and picked a black color lingerie, I walk to the inner room and change, I look good but I won’t forget that my baby Is watching me
I held my tummy warmly and said to my baby
“Don’t worry love, moma won’t disappoint”
