Emma POV

I stepped in to my house and instantly stop. The house was filled with the sent from pie wait apple pie! My mom had come home early and baked. The disappointment and shock from the day washed all away. I drop my bag and kick off my shoes running in to the kitchen and hugging her “MOM!” I cried.

“Hey honey the pies going to be done soon… do you want some dinner first? I made some spaghetti and meatballs” she says patting my head.

“Oh mom you always want to feed me!” I say softly looking up but nod “I would like that…” I let go reluctantly and sit on a stool at the kitchen island watching her.

She serves me and puts the plate in front of me then frowns crossing her arms “what’s wrong honey?” She asks worried.

“Nothing” I quickly answer and stab a meat ball with the fork although it looked delicious thinking back to what Christ had said and Leo’s behavior left me without an appetite.

“Boy trouble?” She asks suspiciously. “Your expression says it all” she added leaning in front of me on the table.

I guess I’m not as good at hiding my feelings like I thought. I mean everyone can read me! “Kinda…” I finally confess.

“Why don’t you tell me? I bet I can help” she says nodding then giggles and adds “I was young ones too you know” She pokes my nose which made me smile.

“Well…” I told her everything about the party ok minus the drinking. I just turned the alcohol in to soda in my story. I also told her about how he acted at lunch.

She listened intently and nodded “Well… I think maybe his just scare he probably thinks that it was just a spur of the moment thing for the both of you at the party. I would say ask him out for lunch and talk it out well get to know each other. He probably thinks he made his move and now it’s your turn to make it back” She gave her advice.

I kinda had a feeling he was just scare but my mother couldn’t have put it any better! Maybe she did have experience in this whole love thing. And if she didn’t she must have watched enough dramas to know what she was talking about. What the heck I decided to ask advice on Christ too “So… there’s this other guy…” I told her he helped me and then kissed me but I tried not to go in to much detail for obvious reasons. 1 he was our neighbor 2 he was older then me and 3 ok I don’t have a 3rd reason yet…

“Well he just sounds like he’s scare! Maybe he was hurt in the past or he hurt someone and that makes him feel like he isn’t good enough to go out with you. Its not you honey men have issues too they are just too dense to realize it and well this is what they do. So for this… other guy all you can do is be there don’t let him think just because he pushed you away your going to go away NO! Be as stubborn with him oh and I know you are!” She gave me a light shrug but her advice sounded good.

I put my hands over hers and squeeze she was right guys had issues too. It wasn’t just me. It wasn’t just me! I told my self that a few more times before my mom’s soft voice broke through my thoughts.
