“I need s on your way ho the shop twice today I don’t even live with her Seriously, she needs to find a hobby or a boyfriend or soets bored easily I have a custom build and repair shop to run and don’t have ti Most of her calls are for the sarand babies, and as her only child, it’s ive the feebler

I roll irl at the store I’ll fall in love with She’s been at it for a long tione senile or sole female in that store, and she’s nuts Two of the fee, and the other two are married

My head always begins to throb when she starts this roceries Textto remain polite She is my mother, after all I’d never disrespect her

“I will Gosh, I wish you’d run into Mackenzie already I can’t believe you haven’t yet She’s absolutely adorable” The whine in randbabies so daets that it’s not that easy Yeah, I could fuck any woman and possibly knock her up, but I’ht now too busy to even take a trip to Dallas to hit the bars

“Adorable? I’ Flex,as he just strolls into my office to drop off some papers I needed to keep that door closed I flip hiet the fuck out of my office

“Watch your language” She always gets on h I’m already twenty-seven

“Sorry, Mom” Flex’s shoulders shake I’m about to fire his ass if he doesn’t quit that shit He’s ht-handthe phone, I snarl out, “Get your ass back to work” He laughs his way out, closing the door behind him

“You’re a good boy Besides, Mackenzie’s perfect for you Trust me when I say it” This woman is persistent

“Is she even real?” I question because I’ve been to the store for the past eight irl Please tell irls that are jailbait I’irls

“Well,from me Have you ever considered that you pushed yourself so hard on your favorite candidate for grandbaby mama that she bailed on you?”

“I’m sure she’s not Or at least I was sure, but now that you ht be That’s not nice I think she’ll make beautiful babies with you Maybe she has a boyfriend” Suddenly, I feel irrationally jealous over this iinary woman and her boyfriend I don’t know the woman, so it’s absurd and I toss that e so me crazy

“Mother, I have to get back to work I’ll stop off there at nine to drop it off”

“Thank you, sweetheart” I end the call and then leave it on my desk because I have a shit load of work to do before I can close up the shop I scoop up my Windows Surface and head out onto the floor to check in with my staff
