Jackson's Pov
"Mom" I ask meekly as I peek my head into the kitchen, she may be busy at the moment but I know she will always make time to talk to me.
"What's up baby" she asks while measuring out some flour into her cake mix. She has a big order at work so she's working on it at home too. She's spending all her time baking to assure she gets it all done for the date and while making sure the cakes stay fresh.
"Can i talk to you about something" i say while taking a place next to mom so i can help her with her baking while i talk to her.
She nods her head for me to go on while running to grab some more milk
"You love dad right"
"Of course i do" she laughs "well sometimes he can be hard to love when he trails mud over my newly cleaned floors"
Her eyes then lead mine over to the large muddy footprints leading from the back door to the living room
"Yeah, I bet that's hard to love"i laugh, cracking an egg into the bowl
"Now why do you ask, your not worried about mine and your dads relationship are you?" she asks, her face full of concern.
"No...its" i begin before sighing "it's actually about me"
"Ooo there's a boy" mom smiles while elbowing me and wriggling her eyebrows
"Mom" I whine, a smile stretched on my lips, she's right but I hate when she teases me like this.
"Let me guess, you want to know how you know you like someone" she says like she just entered my brain and law my thoughts, like how did she know that! Mom magic I guess.
"Yeah... i don't know if i like him or if i just like him platonically" i rant before sighting "it's just so hard"
"Well love is hard, it's the most complicated thing in the world especially when your young" she smiles with a nostalgic look while she pours batter into cake tin
"You seemed to have everything sorted so quickly, one look at dad and you knew you were in love" I wine pouting softly, why can't this be as easy as mom and dad
"Me and your dad are a special case, it never usually works like that and anyway it still wasn't a straight line for us we broke up so many times in high school" she says before laughing to herself and shaking her head softly
"Yeah but you worked it out in the end" I frown
"And so will you baby, this may not be the right boy or it could be and no matter how long it takes you to realise it will happen eventually as love always finds a way" she says bestowing her mom logic down on me
"But let me just say something, I'f this boys got you feeling this confused and is on your mind this often maybe there's something more than friendship going on" she smiles
