Since I have an hour to spare before picking her up, I went back home to change into something much nicer. When I arrived home, my mom was at the living room packing a couple of our stuff.
 

"You're here early. I though you had plans?" She asked
 

"I do. I want to change first befo-"
 

"Before meeting your girlfriend?" she cut off
 

"Mom, she's not my girlfriend." I whined
 

"Why not? You like her, she likes you" she amended
 

"Yes, but I don't want to string her along. We'll just enjoying each other's company now" I responded
 

"Well my son, you should bring her here." She said, giving me a brochure of a restaurant. I looked at her confusedly. She just smiled back at me and handed her credit card.
 

"Here, just don't go over the limit!" She entreated as I hesitantly took it. I gave her a hug before going up my room to change.
 

After changing into the nicest outfit I have, I hopped back into the living room.
 

"Thanks mom!" I whispered to her as I hug her again.
 

"I know I may not look like I appreciate what you and Dad do for me, but trust me I do." I confessed
 

"I'm really sorry if I seem ungrateful to you both. I really do love you." I added, hugging her tighter. I know that the anger I felt for them was covering up the lost I feel. I remember spending a lot of time with them when I was little. Up until their business blossom and didn't have enough time to spend with me. Here I am complaining that my parents are successful..
 

My mom hugged me even tighter and said
 

"I know. I promise, I will make up for lost time." We were hugging for about couple more minutes until I felt a vibrate on my pocket. I pulled away and looked at my phone. It was the alarm I set to pick her up.
 

"Go. Just be back before midnight. I don't want to miss our flight" she said, gesturing for me to go
 

"Thanks Mom!" I replied, heading out of the house.
