I smile with my eyes closed, knowing that Jim's here with me. I swear whenever I'm with this boy, I feel so at peace with him...

"AH!" I yell as I feel a burst of light shining through my closed eyes.

"Rise and shine honey!" Mom says as she opens up the curtains. I groan and hide my face.

"You're hugging that pillow rather tightly." I opened my eyes wide and realized that it's not Jim. I groan and throw the pillow off the couch, covering myself with the blanket. I hear my mom laughing,

"What's so funny?" I say clearly annoyed,

"Nothing! It's just, I think you have mistaken that pillow for someone else," Mom wipes away her tears. F-For someone else?

Did she catch me and Jim sleeping on the couch!? I sit up straight spacing out.

"Why didn't you tell me Jim was staying over last night? You guys didn't do anything stupid Did you?"

"Mom! We didn't do anything of that sort!" She smirks "And wipe that smug look off your face!"

"So then why was he here? I caught you both, with you sleeping on top of him."

"WHAT?" I exclaimed, making Mom surprised. "U-Uhm, I mean. What?"

"Well you know, both of you passed out on the couch, with the TV still on." Mom says, as she takes out her phone. "See?"

Oh. My. God. And there I saw me and Jim sleeping. I was on top of him sleeping! My head on his chest as his hand was on my waist. I feel myself blushing with embarrassment.

"Well?"

"Mom, you can't just take random pictures of me and Jim!" I exclaim as I try and grab the phone out of the woman's hand,

"I just wanted to savor the moment! You both are so cute! Though... you are together right?" I freeze, sighing.

"Yeah, me and Jim... are together." I then hear my mom squeal,

"Oh, I knew it!" Mom grabs my hands as she sits beside me, "So who asked first?"

I look at the woman, "Why does that matter?" I chuckle,

"I just want to know!"

"Uh, okay... Well, Jim is the one who asked me."

"Yes! I knew it!" Mom mutters, fist-bumping herself.

"Uhm?"

"Oh, sorry honey. It's just me and Barbara knew you and Jim were a perfect match! And so, we made a bet on who would ask "who" first!"

"Barbara, bet on you, that you'd make the first move. But I had a slight feeling the boy would!"

"So both of you bet on me and Jim, on who would make the first move?"

"Mhm!"

"And what were you both planning, on who the winner would be getting out of this?" Mom gets up and looks down on me, smiling.

"On who's house, we should all have dinner at!" Mom then walks away to the kitchen,

"Wait... What!? when is this happening?" I exclaim standing up,

"Well first, I gotta break the news to Barbara, and discuss when we should host it!"

I facepalmed myself, as I crossed my arms. These women...

"Well, Imma get ready for the day. I'll see you after school." I kiss my mom's cheek.

"I love you too honey." I look back and smile.
