It was a long shift for Caitlynn. The 46 year old woman's feet were tired from the heels she had to wear as a part of her dresscode, as she was a teller at the local bank, and their rules regarding what each employee can wear were pretty strict. It wasn't even that she wasn't used to wearing high heeled shoes, as her late husband was also pretty strict with what she was allowed to wear, but a ten hour shift during which you can hardly ever sit down would tire out any high-heeled shoe veteran.
The platinum blonde, slim woman was also tired mentally on top of that. The small inheritance in the form of rolled up bundles of hundred dollar bills left by her husband, Andrew, who never was a law-abiding citizen, was running short, and she had to do all she could to provide for her barely-a-legal-adult son, Corey. He really did take after his father in terms of his entrepreneaurship- getting into half-assed less-than-legal get-rich-quick schemes he planned out with his so called friends ever since he entered his teenage years. Whether selling oregano to high school kids as weed, or baby laxative mixed with lidocaine as coke to local businessmen, or robbing some poor old folks on their way home from church, Corey always found a way of getting himself in trouble. Still, wherever she could, Caitlynn bailed him out- he was her son, after all.
She had hoped that day would turn out different. That they could at least resemble a normal family once again, like they used to, those ten or so years before.
The blonde pulled into the empty parking space under the apartment building she lived in with her son, she knew full well that he was home as his chopper (which she never questioned where he got from, for the sake of her own sanity) was also parked there. She even bought cake on her way home, and not the cheap supermarket frozen one, but one from a real bakery, which she had to order beforehand, due to the backlog the place had.
A short elevator ride later, Caitlynn was on the right floor and opened the door. She gently placed the cake on the kitchen table, removed the protective plastic cover from the top of the packaging, and grabbed a pair of plates, champagne glasses, a knife and two cake forks from their respective places in the kitchen cupboards and drawers. A short while later the table was set, for just her and her son.
The woman didn't even bother changing her clothes yet out of the white button down shirt and black pencil skirt, she just took off her heels, and walked up to Corey's bedroom's door, with only her dark gray, opaque pantyhose covering her feet. "Corey, honey, come to the kitchen, I have something for you!" She knocked, but didn't open the door intruding on her son's privacy- she knew better not to do it after she got scolded for it in a very verbal outburst a couple of times. "Come on, hun, it's your eighteenth birthday, don't sit cooped up in there all day, please..." Caitlynn added after a short while without response.
