The deal with my mother

^^^“Good morning Mr Moey.”^^^

 “Hi, how are you doing Onya?”

^^^“I’m fine sir, What are the plans for today?.”^^^

“just the usual stuff move this here and there, I’m thinking of closing up the store for the summer or even sooner to spend some time with my grandchildren.”

^^^“huh, your closing up, whaa- what, who’s going to run the store while your gone, your the only baker in the village Sir Moey”^^^

“Yeah i know I'm but i won’t be here all the time there’s a time when we all have to leave child, I’m sure someone could run the store while i am gone, your Mum can bake can’t she, she could run the store if she agrees.”

...knowing that she enjoyed being around Mr Moey as he is the only one who she spends time with when her mother works late it would be sad not having him around nor the store being opened as she could have peace and quite there....

^^^“yeah i guess your right Mr Moey, but that would mean she would have to work three jobs now, that would be too much for her.”^^^

...He then replied with a chuckle....

“I guess your right, i mean there’s no way of keeping this this bakery up and running child.”

“What if i learn to bake and how to run a store like you Mr Moey, you could teach me and that way the store could keep up and running and the villagers can buy there goods here than having to go to the city, I can run the store until your back.”

“I mean it could but, but wait don’t you have to go to school, it would be too much, your mother wouldn’t surely agree to this, it would be too much for a young teenage girl to be working in an old broken down store like this, its not safe, there’s no need to be so naive child, it cant be hel-.”

She interrupt him with a serious voice saying.

“I’m not being naive your the naive one here Oldman, i can handle this i’m not a child so stop calling me that.”

The look she had on her face says more than what Mr Moey heard, he patted her on the head and smiled at her and said.

“You would have to speak with your mother first.”

And he walked away in silence, Onya was so that she ran back home.

Reaching home she opened the door to be greeted by her mother.

“Oh hi darling, i am back early today since the company is slowly falling after the original boss has past away, things  hadn’t been running smoothly, but enough about that, where were you coming from with that smile on your face, meet a cute boy at school or something, hmm.”

“what no ,no nothing like that mum.”

“when are you going to get a boyfriend, a boy to be by your side to protect you and take care of you, take you from your imaginary world .”

Onya replied in a flustered voice to what her mother said.

“Wait what!! no way, that’s..just disgusting i don’t need a boyfriend to protect me and crap like that and what imaginary world are you talking about, just where’d you get that from, What ever, Stop distracting me, Okay, i have something to tell you so listen.”

“is it about a your crush.”

“......what..., where are you getting that from, i don’t have a crush, what are you talking about?”

She said trying to convinced her mum in a nervous voice.

“Mhmm.”

“Stop distracting me!, Oldman Moey is closing his store for some months and i would like to run it for him while he is gone, will you please agree to let me run it for him, please.”

“Hmph, Okay, but can you bake, can you manage a store”

“He said he’ll teach me”

“Ok, but if you want to you’ll have to.”

She laughed as she thinks.

“what have to what, why are you laughing, what do you have on your mind. Spill it now”

“Ermm, hmph, so you say you want to run his store, right”

“Yeah, what are you getting at here mum”

Her mum reply quickly.

“Ohh nothing just that you’ll have one week to run the store and you have to get a boyfriend in that one week, else if no boyfriend you have to close the store, OKAY”

“WHAT!!”

“Mhmm”

“How could you do this to me mum, your evil”

Her mum reply with a grin on her face.

“Mhmm”

“Okay. Alright, i’m not afraid or anything to get a boyfriend, its easy, that's right, easy, tons of boys at school have a crush on me, im so used to boys asking me out at school, its getting so annoying now, i can get a boyfriend so easy, i’ll just dump him after the one week is complete, hmph”
