But what does she find in him? Frankly, he still has nothing to please this one. I was able to observe him from afar and in his group of friends.
I didn't stop there either. I searched the internet to find everything there was to know about him. Google, Facebook, everything we find there is crazy!
Well, it's not glorious anyway. Fiesta and alcohol every weekend. He seems to spend more time hanging out in the streets than working. What does that promise for his future? I want the best for her! Not a wanker who will take advantage of his intelligence and his innocence!
I thought about all the means to keep her away from him. To move out ? No. Make her change high school? No more. Put someone more suited to him? No better! A blow of the shovel. Finally, after reflection it may get me more trouble than anything else, I have no legal idea to get rid of the body.
And to think that she intends to present it to me today. He has just passed his license and it is he who must bring her back. I am all panicked at the idea. What if he hurts my baby? A 17 year old baby but MY baby anyway.
Ah that's it, I hear the sound of a car. My heart starts to beat at full speed. I glance out the window to check and observe them. It's them.
At least his car looks well maintained. He seems to be careful on the road. I want her to be safe. I have already thought about putting it in bubble wrap, apparently it is not possible … I put a smile of circumstance on my face before going to open the door.
– Hi Mom ! launches me my little darling before hugging me.
Already, I am relieved. She's in great shape and she's not ashamed to cuddle me in front of him. I hug her tight as I continue to watch this boy out of the corner of my eye. Poor guy, he looks as stressed out as I look at me.
Suddenly, I imagine myself in the opposite place. He too must have a mom who wonders if my daughter is going to break his heart, or be good enough for him. I release my embrace and give a welcoming “hello”.
My daughter turns to him and that's when I understand. I understand that I will not be able to push her out of his arms. I see that gleam in his eyes, the same one I still have today looking at his father. Just by her eyes and her smile, she transmits a sincere and deep love.
So I look at him, and I see the same thing. So know my boy, that you had better take care of my daughter. I entrust it to you. On the other hand, if you hurt her, if one day that glow stops shining in her eyes because of you, you will be dealing with me.
