The Story of Me and T - A Tanner Buchanan Fanfic

'Ohio'

January 1st 

I tried to ignore the phone as it kept ringing. It wasn't mine, so I wasn't particularly keen to see who it was, just interested in sleep. I felt so much better, but was the most tired I think I'd ever been. Thankfully, whoever it was gave up, and silence fell among us once again. I was drifting off, on the edge of sleep until it started ringing again.

'T! Answer your damn phone before I break it!' This roused him somewhat and he rolled over to retrieve it.

'Shit, it's my mom' he said in a panic, quickly jumping out to bed to get dressed.

'Tanner, you do realise that she can't see you right? I chuckled

'She's facetiming me baby' He answered in short, sitting, poised on the edge of the bed, phone in his hand ready to be answered.

'Hey mom. Happy New Year!' He said fixing his sexed up hair.

'Happy new year baby. Are you okay? You look tired'

'I am mom, I haven't really slept much'

'Partying too hard to bring in the new year?'

'Ummm. Something like that' He answered, skirting around the truth.

'What did you end up doing?' She asked

Me, I answered in my head.

'You know, the details are still a bit foggy right now, so I'll get back to you on that one' he said, shifting his focus to look at me.

'But I had a great night' He added with a wink straight at me.

'Tanner, what was that do you have company? I'm sorry sweetie, I call you later'

'It's fine mom. How is everyone?'

'Everyone's good. Tanner, what are your plans for before you start filming? Coz everyone here would love to see you'

'Well, I was planning to spend some time with Grace, coz I probably won't get to see her much once production starts'

I was still half asleep, but hearing my name pop up in conversation startled me and left me with several questions in my head. Did he just say he wanted to spend time with Grace? How did she know who I was?

'Bring her with you. I'm dying to meet her' She responded, rendering me speechless.

He looked back at me, asking me the question without actually speaking. I realised I had to be hasty in my decision and without thinking, nodded my head.

'Okay mom, we're coming'

January 2nd 

We planned on staying in NY for the rest of the week. But Tanner was so excited at the prospect of seeing his family and decided to book us flights ASAP. He was excited, I was nervous. How was it that his mum knew about me? And was 'dying' to meet me. I thought hard about conversations I'd had about Tanner with my mum. She knew we were close. I don't think she'd have been dying to meet him though. Which left me wondering what he'd said about us, and more specially, me. I pushed the thought far back in my mind. This time tomorrow, I be a guest in their house.

The second we walked through arrivals I spotted her. She was unmistakably Tanner's mum. He looked just like her and second their eyes made contact they were both beaming with joy.
