Desperate Desire

27. Awkward

Roman POV

Although we had agreed to postpone her moving in I had asked Jade to come and spend a few days at my place. It was only six hours away from where she was and I really wanted to to have some proper time alone with.

I also wanted her to meet my mom and it would give her chance to the see the house that would soon be her home and become accustomed to it. It would be fair to say I was nervous about Jad meeting my mom becuase I wasn't sure how my mom would react to her.

My mom had known about Jade and I from the start and didn't approve of what we were doing, I hadn't had chance to tell her that we were a proper couple now or that she was pregnant. I wanted my mom to be happy for me, and I wanted her to like Jade.

"Are you sure she won't mind us just turning up?" Jade asks as reach the driveway to my mom's house, she lives close by so we had walked over, I had to say it felt good to be able to walk hand in hand with her, her tiny hand in mine just felt right.

"Of course, she'll be happy to see us" I say lifting her hand and kissing the back of it

"Mom you home" I call out as I push the door open, within seconds I am wrapped up in a loving hug which I gladly return

"Roman it's so good to see you" she says "you look well..........who's this?" She asks as her eyes fall on Jade

"Mom this is Jade, Jade this is my mom Pat" I say

"It's lovely to meet you" Jade smiles as my mom's brow furrows and she looks at me

"Roman you know I don't approve, I won't have this under my roof" she says "I know you love her but what you are doing is wrong..........is that a baby bump?" She gasps

"Yes Jade and I are having a baby" I smile

"Oh lord Roman, what a mess you've gotten yourself in" she sighs "this is not how I wanted to become a grandmother"

"Roman, I think I'm going to head back to the house" Jade says turning towards the door

"Please don't go babygirl" I say taking her hand "please stay"

"You two have some things to talk about" she says removing her hand from mine "I'll see you later"

I watch as she walks out of the door, this had not gone the way I hoped. I turn to face my mom and I want to get angry but for some reason I can never be angry at my mom

"Thanks mom, could you not have given her a chance" I sigh

"You know how I feel about it" she says

"It's not like that now" I say "she left him, she chose me, she loves me mom. That incredible beautiful woman loves me, god alone knows why but she does"

"I wish you wouldn't think so little of yourself" she sighs "your a handsome man, your kind, loving and a good man. I know I'm your mother and I'm biased but ask Jade and I'm sure she would say the same. What that woman did to you was not a reflection on you, it was only a reflection on her"

"I know mom" I smile "it's only been a short time but I already know that she's the one. I'm just scared to death of losing her"

"Sweetheart she chose you, that should tell you all you need to know" she smiles "now I think we should take a walk over to your house, I owe Jade an apology and so do you"

"Yeah you're right" I say "before we go, are we doing what we usually do for Easter this year?" I ask

"Of course I'm right I'm you're mother" she smiles "and yes we are why?" She asks

"Oh I was just wondering, would it be ok if I bring Jade?" I ask

"Of course it's ok" she says "anything I need to know?"

"No, no I just want her to be a part of it that's all" I smile "I'm hoping she will be permanent part of my life, so I want to include her"

"And we will but first we need to get these apologies done and then I want to get to know her" she says

Mom was right we both needed to apologise to her but the questio was would she forgive either of us. I had walked her into this house knowing what could potentially happen. It had clearly made her uncomfortable and possibly humiliated her, something tells me it was going to take a lot more than I'm sorry to make this up to her.
