So Close to Being in Love

"Good morning carl." Her mother said touching her head.

"Good morning my love." She said.

" Mother, Mother why do I have to wake now? " Carl asked.

Her mother smiled.

"You have to get up now for work." Her mother said.

" Mother I don't want to go out now meanwhile I have something to do."

" Why do you want to stay home today? " Her Mum asked.

" No mum, I have other things to do. " Carl said.

" Things like what?" Her mother asked.

" I have some things to do, I need to see my boss. " Carl said.

" Boss, why do you have to see your boss now?" Her mother asked.

" Something delicate."

" What is delicate that you can not speak with your boss at work?" Her mother asked.

Carl smiled and hugged her mother.

" Mother, it isn't actually that and I do not mean my boss at the office. " Carl said.

" So, may I know your other boss? " Her mother asked.

Carl gave her mother a peck on the cheek then smiled.

" I really am grateful for how you take care of me along with Dad. I am very grateful for your lessons. You taught me how not to depend on your wealth but to build myself into what I want to become." She said and paused smiling.

"My darling." Her mother said.

Carl couldn't help but laugh.

"I do not need that job at all. I am now my own boss, Mum." She said.

"What do you mean my dear?" Her mother asked.

Carl smiled and crossed her legs as she sat on the bed.

"Yes mother I am my own boss." Carl said. "I own my business."

"Can I know when you started your business?" Her mother asked.

"Two years ago." Carl said.

"You started building your business while you were working?" Her mother asked.

"Yes Mother." She answered smiling. "Moreover how is Grandfather doing in Africa. Have you heard from him."

"Yes dear. He is fine." Her mother answered.

Carl smiled looking at her mother.

"Is there anything you will like me to do for you?" Her mother asked and Carl smiled.

"Yes Mum." She said.

"What would you like me to do?" Her mother asked.

"Accept what I have to say." She answered.

"Yes I definitely will." Her mother said.

"I want to get myself a house to live." Carl said surprising her mother.

"You have this whole mansion to yourself. We aren't usually in the mansion so why would you choose to live elsewhere?" Her mother asked.

"I just want to be independent, Mum. I am 23 now and I want to be independent." She said.

"Alright, I can't turn back on my promise." Her mother said and Carl hugged her.

"Thank you Mum." Carl said hugging her mother.

Minutes later, her mother cleared her throat.

"We are going to look for the best mansion for you." Her mother said but Carl smiled and shook her head.

"No mother, you are doing none of such. I am going to invite you and Dad to my house after organizing it." Carl said.

"Alright dear." Her mother said.

Her mother was so happy. She looked around as she remembered the way she along with her husband had brought Carl up.

She smiled and looked at Carl.

" Alright, I would be going." She said and Carl nodded her head as she watched her mother leave her room.

Few minutes later, Carl phone started buzzing.

She picked her phone up and smiled seeing that the call was from one of her client.

She answered the call and accepted the offer.

She got up from the bed and went to her closet.

She selected a jean and a floppy top from her closet then put on the top and jeans.

Minutes later, she went to the mirror side. She sat down on the chair beside the mirror and looked into it.

She packed her hair and smiled looking at the mirror.
