Reminiscence Of A Dreadful Past
Episode 3
A woman laugh could be heard from the entrance of the room, and Nadia knew exactly who it belonged to. Lindsay, who was for her as a second mother, came bearing a food tray with one slide of her famous and locally awarded apple pie
Lindsay Johnson
Do you really think that he is able do that? Come on, he might be my son but he's got his father's genes.
Lindsay Johnson
Untying a bra is definitely more difficult for him than building a barn with his own hands. He hasn't even had a girlfriend yet
Damian Johnson
Awesome, thanks for the awkward and needless comment, mom
Lindsay Johnson
Oh, stop complaining and help me with this!
She growled as she gestured the young man to grab the tray. He stood immediately up and with skilled moves turned on his own and placed the tray over a drawer nearby
Lindsay Johnson
Now, come here, my little sweetheart!
Nadia stood up and ran straight into Lindsay's arms. That heady homey feeling she thought she would never feel again was infusing her in that big and long hug, like a battery recharge
She tried to say something but no words came out of her mouth as she tried to refrain from crying
Lindsay Johnson
Don't worry, my child. We don't have to talk about it right now
Lindsay Johnson
Listen, you can stay here all you want, this is your home. Damian brought your car and got your luggage out. I will hang you clothing in the closet after dinner
Lindsay Johnson
I'll get you a towel so you take a warm and relaxing bath
Nadia Nilsen
Thank you so much, Lindsay. I don't know how to pay you and your family back
Lindsay Johnson
You wanna pay me back? Finish that slice of pie and go tell the hateful Greta Wilson that is the best apple pie in this world!
Nadia giggled as she left the room yelling and cursing her baking nemesis
Nadia Nilsen
And there goes the hurricane Lindsay!
Damian Johnson
Yeah, she is still the same. I'm not sure if that's actually good for me though
Nadia Nilsen
So...is it true?
Nadia Nilsen
What your mom just said
Damian Johnson
Nadia, you know my mom. She talks a lot about things that she...
Nadia Nilsen
So you had a girlfriend then?
Damian could feel Nadia rummaging into the depths of his soul with her emerald eyes
Damian Johnson
No, I never had a girlfriend...
Lindsay Johnson
Ok, here is the towel!
They gave a quick step back when they realized how close they got to each other. Lindsay entered the room holding a white towel that she gave to Nadia
Lindsay Johnson
Now, go and shower. Damian fixed the hot water pipes a few days ago so you can fill the bathtub and stay there as much as you want. I'll go and get dinner ready
She turned around to look at her son
Lindsay Johnson
Is your highness honoring us with his presence for dinner tonight?
She said with a sarcastic and flowery tone of voice
Damian Johnson
Well, Nadia hasn't eaten your special meat stew with smashed potatoes in more than 10 years, if you cook it for her is gonna be hard for me to say no to such honor
Nadia Nilsen
So now you are trying to take advantage of the situation?
Damian Johnson
I'll try my luck!
He answered with a playful smile that made Nadia's heart jump and Lindsay chuckled
Lindsay Johnson
You better not get used to it. Now get the tray down, Nadia better eat my apple pie as a dessert today. No one is allowed to decline it, not even her
Damian followed his mom out the room, turning around briefly to offer Nadia a warm smile. She could feel her face getting red behind the towel, but the feeling didn't last long. The thought of her deceased parents made her feel guilty and uneasy
Nadia Nilsen
I cannot believe that someone could had really killed my parent...who could do something like that?
Suddenly the sound of an explosion broke the silence
Nadia Nilsen
What was that?
