Just one touch
Chapter Eight


Mildred was busy in her kitchen. It wouldn’t be too long before it was dinner time and she just started with her dinner when her phone started to ring. Mildred sighed a little bit. Who could ever call at this time? she wondered and she answered her phone.

“Hey mom, it’s Victor.” sounded from the other side and Mildred was a little bit surprised. Victor rarely called her.

“Victor, honey. There isn’t something wrong, is it?” Mildred asked.

“Not really. Do you mind if I come to have dinner with you?”

Mildred smiled. “Well, of course not. I’m glad though you called first before you stood here in front of my house.”

“Mom,” Victor started and Mildred heard some doubt in his voice. “is it alright with you if I bring somebody with me?”

“Of course not. I’ll see you two at dinner.” Mildred said goodbye to her son with a big smile and she went back to her kitchen. Finally, he told Anita that he loved her, Mildred thought and she just couldn’t get that smile of her face. She was so happy with that fact that she could hardly wait until dinnertime when she would hear the news from the couple.

“Hey mom!” Victor called when he walked into his mother’s house. It was dinnertime and he would have dinner with his mother. He was so glad that she liked that idea. He just couldn’t wait to introduce Delilah to his mother.

“Victor, are you sure? I mean, you told me yesterday that you loved me.” Delilah looked to Victor. She wore just something simple, because she didn’t know that they would have dinner at his mother’s place. Well, that was until their shift was over. Then he told her about his plan. Delilah didn’t like it at the beginning, but Victor insisted that she should go with him, so she agreed with it.

“She would love you like you would be her daughter.” Victor said with a smile.

“Hey Victor, dinner is almost ready!” Mildred called and she walked into the hall. “And I’m glad that you came too, A…” Mildred stopped when she them. The young woman wasn’t Anita like she expected; the woman didn’t even look the tiniest bit like Anita.

“Mom, this is Delilah Smith. She is the new agent I talked about and now she is my girlfriend.” Victor said with a big smile and he looked to Delilah. “Delilah, this is my mother, Mildred Volt.”

“Nice to meet you.” Delilah said. She just knew Mildred was hoping that Anita would be coming with Victor. This could be one of the most awkward dinners she ever had.

“Same here.” Mildred said and she looked to Victor. “Victor, I need your help in the kitchen.”

Victor nodded and he looked to Delilah. “I’ll be right back.” he said and he gave Delilah a kiss on her cheek. While Victor walked to the kitchen, he was just glad that his mother and Delilah could get along. That was just a problem less for him.

“So,” Mildred said when Victor helped her. “does Anita know about this?” She just knew Anita was at least upset that Victor was dating Delilah, but she didn’t know if Anita knew about this.

“Yeah, she knows.” Victor said. “But I haven’t really seen her today.”

Mildred nodded. If Anita knew about this, she wanted to be alone. Mildred knew that and she figured that Anita had to be heartbroken. “Just one thing, Victor.” Mildred said after a few seconds.

“Sure, what is it?” Victor said while he grabbed some plates.

“Would you give me a call when Anita calls in sick tomorrow?” Mildred asks and Victor gave his a suspicious look.

“Alright, I’ll do that.” he shrugged. “Why actually?”

“So I could give her some company. She would be all alone in her house.” Mildred said, while she brought the plates into the dinner room. She couldn’t tell Victor that she actually knew that Anita needed some comfort when she would call in sick the next day. Mildred just knew there was something wrong about the relationship between Victor and Delilah and together with Anita, maybe she could figure out what it was.
Mildred just hoped that there was an explanation about this sudden relationship and that the answer would come quickly, before Anita would break down because of being heartbroken.

“It was really nice, Mrs. Volt.” Delilah said. They just finished dinner and Delilah stood up. “Should I help with…”

Mildred shook her head. “I’ll be fine, thank you.” she said with a little smile.

“Shall we take a nice walk?” Victor asked and he looked to Delilah.

“I don’t know.” Delilah said and she looked to Victor. “I mean, we have to go to work tomorrow and…” Taking a walk was just too much of everything. She just had dinner with Victor and his mother and now he wanted to walk with her. “I’m sorry Victor, maybe some other time. I’m really tired.”

Victor smiled. “That’s alright.” he said. “I’ll bring you home.”

Delilah nodded. “Okay. I’m going to say goodbye to your mother.” she said and she walked into the kitchen where Mildred was cleaning the dishes. “Mrs. Volt. Thank you for the wonderful meal.” she said. “I know we should have wait before he should bring me to your place, but…”

Mildred turned around and she smiled a little bit. “It’s alright.” she said. “We still need to get to know each other better, but that will happen sometime.” Delilah gave Mildred a thankful smile and she said goodbye. Mildred sighed. Even though she was Victor’s mother, she couldn’t tell him who he could date and who not. The only thing she could do was hoping that Victor would see that Delilah wasn’t the right woman for him. The only thing she could do was hoping that Victor would choose for Anita somehow, someday, before it would be too late.
It isn't one of my longest and greatest chapters, but I just wanted to see how Mildred would react on the relationship between Victor and Delilah

Ack! Victor is making a terrible mistake! So I wonder what sacrifice might be made just to turn Victor back to normal will be.

::don' mind me I'm just thinking:: I think it's sweet how Mildred's thinking of Anita's feelings.

Can't wait for more!
