My alarm goes off the next morning at 5:45AM. I groan loudly causing a body next to me to stir. I release a scream worthy of a horror film because I always fall asleep alone. Dennis shoots up out of bed ready to fight whatever I screamed at, just as my mom runs in looking ready to murder someone. I grab my chest and breathe. Not the way I wanted to start my morning, but I am definitely awake now.

"What the fuck Dennis? What are you doing here?" I turn to look at my mom " I did not know he was going to sleep here mom I swear!" 

Its too early to be reminded of her house rules.

 "It's OK Little One, I said he could stay over."

I look at her curious. I walk over and place my hand on her forehead. 

"Who are you and what have you done with May Parker. Because my mom would never let my partner sleep in my bed with me."

Mom chuckles lightly; grabbing my hand before placing a kiss on my knuckles. 

"You are growing up so fast. I told him he could sleep here. No sense in you attempting to sneak him in and out any more."

My eye brows shoot into my hairline. What the fuck? How does she even know that? Mom laughs again and continues. 

"I told him no sex or I would castrate him." 

That causes me to laugh out loud and I hear Dennis inhale quickly and shift. Probably grabbing his man hood and holding on for dear life.

"Well damn mom if you knew I was sneaking him in here why didn't you ever say anything? Bust me? Whatever!?"

"You were so well behaved as a teenager. Now you're 18. You are an adult. Yes you live with me, but you are still an adult legally. You never once rebelled in your younger years. I know its because you thought it would make us leave you, no matter how much we told you that would never happen. I figured you deserve a chance to feel like a rebel even though you are a terrible one."

Guilt eats at me for a moment. She thought I was a good kid? Jesus wept. She has no idea about the partying, the drugs, the drinking, the sex. I lied and told her I lost my virginity the night of my graduation. I actually lost if that first night I took Molly. Whoops. The only bad thing she thinks I've ever done is when she caught me sneaking in after a party during spring break when i was 16. I was so fucked up I tripped over my own feet taking my shoes off. Classic moment. Other than that she has zero idea what happens at the apartment. 

"You are the world's best mother! Do you know that? What did I do to deserve you mom?"

"You were born my love. I may not have given birth to you but you are mine and your fathers greatest accomplishment. We could never have imagined you would turn out to be so amazing. We hoped you would be extraordinary, you of course became spectacular!"

"I do not need to cry this early in the morning mom. I need to get going for my run."

Mom gives me a kiss on the cheek and turns to leave. 

"Oh Dennis, next time wear some gym shorts with your boxers when sleeping next to my daughter in my house please? I know you guys are active but it will not happen here with my 11 year old nephew. Do you two understand me?"

Dennis gulps and looks at me then looks back at Mom very scared. 

"Yes ma'am I am very sorry! It will not happen again."

I close the door and walk into my closet to change. 

"Baby, I need you to not tell my mom what I am doing today please. If she asks, I am at work with you. If she comes in, I am running to the bank or whatever. Please. I don't want to freak her out just yet if I can avoid it."
