Chapter 6

Natalie Kilper had not expected that her mother would move this quickly.

It was only the next day when Natalie Kilper's mother had dropped by to 'visit' her. Unfortunately for Cole, he happened to be at home as well.

Mrs. Kilper immediately spent a long time in praising Cole's looks, remained ignorant of his eyes that showed his desperation to escape. Finally, Mrs. Kilper turned her attention to Natalie, setting Cole free.

"Dear, do let me meet this man that had stolen your heart."

"Why mom, you have just met him."

"I did?" Mrs. Kilper beamed with joy.

Cole stared at Natalie in horror, quick to catch onto what Natalie meant.

Natalie grinned wickedly as she winked at Cole. "Yes mom, you did. Cole's the one that had managed to steal my heart."

"Oh, my!" Mrs. Kilper examined Cole again. "I approve of this young man! When's the wedding?"

"There will be one, but hopefully by next year," Natalie answered happily and completely disregarding Cole's pale face with his mouth hung open in shock.

"N-Natalie!" Cole was finally able to get over his shock and protested before the conversation would go any further.

Natalie burst out laughing. "Sorry but it's rather fun to tease you, Cole."

"So he isn't your love interest?" Mom asked in disappointment. She had liked Cole after all.

"He is, but I need to steal his heart first before the wedding, mom."

"That won't be a problem! My Natalie would steal your heart in no time, young man."

Cole stared at them in horror. "N-No, Mrs. Kilper t-that won't happen!"

"Are you saying my Natalie isn't good enough for you?" Mrs. Kilper demanded with a fierce gaze as she stared down at Cole. It was an easy feat for Mrs. Kilper was a tall woman and Cole's height had only managed to reach past her ears.

Cole's height was just a few centimeters shorter than Natalie, but he was still in his growing period so in future he would be taller than her.

"No, Mrs. Kilper! N-Natalie is a g-great person! But-"

"Then why are you protesting? Perhaps you don't get aroused by my daughter?"

"Mom!" Natalie yelled in embarrassment while Cole blushed fiercely. "What are you talking about?"

"What? You can't expect every man to be drooling for you, Natalie."

"I didn't! You are the one that said it!"

Mrs. Kilper ignored her daughter. "Well, Cole? Do you or do you not?"

"I-It's not p-proper, ma'am!"

Mrs. Kilper snorted haughtily. "Not proper? I have a husband that I've known since junior high and I have also raised a healthy son. I know very well what young men mostly think about."

Cole's face blushed to a deeper shade of red. "I-I apologize, ma'am. I- I think Natalie is p-pretty, but I think she's too f-forceful."

Natalie froze as Mrs. Kilper stared at Cole in disbelief. "Forceful? Nay! Natalie is just like me in temper and stubbornness, but she isn't forceful!"

"Mom!"

"Oh hush Natalie. If he couldn't accept your weakness as a part of you, perhaps he isn't the one for you!"
