Chapter 57 Mother Knows Best! (1/2)

Adam was still reeling from what happened with him and Jessy last night.

Their kisses and make out session so hot and heated that it's all he's been thinking all day long at work.

All of a sudden he would smile to himself without any specific reason.

He goes through his work at the beauty parlor floating in cloud nine. He felt lightheaded, so energetic that time flies so fast.

The day gradually turns into night.

He was actually looking forward to the darkness of the night so that he can continue dreaming of his lovely Jessy.

When he and Caden lay down in their makeshift bed in front of the jewelry store, he was expecting Jessy to appear anytime soon. But he was disappointed because she never comes. He awakens three times during the night expecting her lovely face gazing intently at his face. Instead, what he saw filling his vision was the twinkling stars above showing their spectacular display up in the sky.

”I love you so much, Jess!” he mumbled to himself.

He drifted back into oblivion with a silly smile on his lips.

<<<~~~~~>>>

The next day was the same as yesterday. Nothing special happened with him and Caden's life.

Adam was looking forward to the night to come.

When the night finally arrived. Caden already fell asleep before he even hit his back on the cardboard box.

Adam smiled at his friend's face.

He settled both his hands at the back of his head making it as his pillow and gazed openly at the stars above. A smirked was hovering on his lips while stargazing. Then Jess' smiling face starts floating in his vision. He smiled even more.

Fifteen minutes later...

He finally got tired with his musing and his eyelids start dropping...

But before he finally succumbs to the world of sleepiness, he caught something out of the corner of his eyes, a woman wearing a flowing cloak was walking towards him, then she halted in front of him without even looking at him and continued walking past him.

”M-Mother!” his voice was caught on his throat.

Dang!

How does his mother know he is alive?!

He scrambled to his feet and in seconds time followed his mother who was walking ahead of him in a relaxed manner.

When he caught up with her, she threw him a smile.

They went to an alley opposite to where he and Jessy were snogging the previous night.

The moment they were out of sight...

The Queen embraces his son tightly, tears of happiness were already streaming down her face.

”My son! My son! You're indeed alive! I'm so happy to see you again!”

Adam stared at his mother's face misty-eyed. He was elated to see his mother as well. It's been ages since they last saw each other.

”Mother, why did you try to save me from death?”

”What a silly question you had my son! Of course, I will do anything in my power to save you. How can't I? No mother in her right mind would let their son die without trying anything to save him.”

She pinched his cheek fondly, her face radiating with joy. ”Now look at you, you turn out to be a very good looking young man. The curse was finally gone and you are free! This is your true self. This is you without the curse!” she exclaimed in glee.

”You have no idea how happy I am right now to see you alive and looking so handsome and dashing!” the Queen continues blabbering in a merry voice. From time to time tears of happiness spilled out from her eyes.
