pov martijn

Cleo bites on her lips, she's kind of nervous I guess. She shouldn't be, her parents will like me, right? She knock on the door. Few minutes later I think, the door opens through her mom. A elderly lady, which look like a lot as Cleo. Especially the eyes, mouth and the color or her eyes. "Hi mama," she says and hugs her mom, her mom looks kind of surprised to see me. I know she didn't expect me to come, not even a visitor nor a boy with her daughter. "Who's he?" She asks to her daughter. She pulls out the hug and looks at me with her adorable smile. "Mom, he's my boyfriend. Martijn," she introduces me to her mom. Her mom is still surprised and I decided to set a move. "Hello, miss Dijk. I'm Martijn and I'll take care for your daughter," I promise her. She nods and smiles. "You look very handsome," she chuckles to her daughter. "I know mom. Very good looking," she says and lean against me. "He wanted to meet you and he has some days off so that's why he's here," Cleo smiles. I smile at her and kiss her on her hair.

"Well, come in Martijn. You're welcome and I want to know more about you," her mom says. We both walk in and Cleo say I can put the weekend bag in the hallway. I walk into the living room, quite cozy furniture here and her mom is making lunch. We left this morning Amsterdam and drove to the eastern part of the Netherlands, like a 2 and half our drive. "What are you making mama?" I hear her saying to her mom. The him eis really nice, here somewhere in the neighborhood lives Frank, where I do a lot of music with, especially if there's any violins involved. I like to use real string s instead of computer or robot strings. Nothing really compared so good as real strings.

"Martijn, what for kind of job do you do?" She asks. "Well, im music producer, you can say a dj too," I answer. "Hmm, you must travel a lot?" She asks and I nod. "Yeah, I'd do. But im home a lot too. Whenever I have few days left before another show I come back to Amsterdam," I say. "You really love her?" She asks. "Of carouse I do. She means a lot to me," I answered to her question. "She's really special to me. My only daughter and I want her to be happy," her mom says. "I can understand. As a mom you want your kids to be happy right?" I say. She nods and Cleo comes back from the toilet. "Everything good here?" She asks and I nod. "You really thought I was having a fight or argue somehow?" I chuckle and she hurts her shoulders. "I'm happy you like him mom," she says and her mom smiles. "Are you two gonna visit your dad too?" Her mom asks. I know her parents are divorced which is kinda sad. "Yeah, maybe while I don't know. Dad doesn't know about him," she says. "I did not either," she says and laughs. "She's right," I say and Cleo nods.

"Cleo," her mom says, we wanted to go out, see a bit of the village and stuff. "I don't know if it happened already but please wear a condom before I get grandma in my early 50," she warns us. My parents are bit older but my mom said the same. We're still young though, so it's not that smart if Cleo gets pregnant. I definitely want kids but not noe, I'm 22 and my life is still so young yet, so is hers. "Yes we will," I say and grab cleo's hand. "Mom, we will see you tonight, lunch was nice," she smiles and we decide to get out and enjoy each other' company. I mean, if's for the first time we are somewhere with just the two of us. "What does my mom think. We're doing it without a condom. I don't want to be a mom right now," she says in a unbelievably way. "We did it once without condom, but you aren't pregnant I hope," I say. "I'm not feeling sick or something," she says. "It's for better. I mean, we're both not ready to take care of child," I say and she nods. "You right. But forget and now enjoy," she says and I lift her up. "Omg martijn, not again!" She laughs and I do too.

We're entering my home where my mom lives. My brother just arrived home to form his school and he smiles. "Hello, you should be her boyfriend," he says. "Yes I am," I say proudly. "Don't hurt her," he whispers and I smile brightly. "I will not," I promises him. "What did you make mom?" I hear Cleo asking. "Lasagne," she answers. "But dude, don't hurt her. I want her to be happy. That's all what matters to me," he says and I smile. "Brother, I'll. I'll protect her, I'll love her," I promise him. "Yeah," he smiles. "Okay. We can eat," her mom says and we setting up the table. I kiss Cleo her cheek and she smiles. We're sitting next to each other's and her brother shakes his head. "Bro, we're about to have dinner, cut the romance," he says. "Nano, shut up," she says and I laugh. "Martijn, my name is Charlotte so you can call me like that," Charlotte says, her mom. Cleo stands up and she looks so good in her outfit she's wearing. She's waaay more good looking then me.
