The Continuation of no way home P6

Chapter 18

He and MJ both can't decide between whether they want steak and a seafood salad, or lobster and a baked potato

So they talk about it, and he ends up getting the steak and she ends up getting the baked potato so they can share both

MJ's mom just looks around the reception area in distaste this entire time, before getting up to go to the bar—clutch in hand

"Did I do okay up there during the wedding? I was trying not to laugh but I was so nervous!" Anna said grinning, looking over at MJ and Peter from across the table.

Peter just thanks god that Madeline isn't here with them right now

He doesn't even know where she's at until he looks over and sees her sitting by MJ's at the bar Big surprise

"You looked great, Ann, don't worry, "Love your dress, too MJ said laughing and, shaking her head

"See? Told you," Jordan said laughing, wrapping his arm around Anna

but she just smiles and rolls her eyes, leaning into him

"I'm actually good, thanks," Peter tells the server politely, and Brad turns and gives him a weird look

He just ignores it and asks, "Can I just get some water, please?"

You aren't drinking? Libby asks, hesitating her mouth over her glass of wine

well im not 21 so no Peter said

oh ok then I thought you might be one of these teens that do so  Libby said annoyed

"I mean...you can still drink if you want," Peter said with a shrug, looking over at her

oh like I need youre permission for that  "Oh yeah? Thanks for your permission," Libby said  annoyed at him, and he turns and rolls his eyes

Libby he's just trying to be polite MJ said annoyed and quickly defending Peter

ugh whatever this isn't your business Libby said annoyed with her

how come we dont get to meet any of youre parents where are they so why are you here by yourself at my sister's wedding Libby said annoyed

AUNT LIBBY MJ said in a low shout while trying to drink her lemonade

shut it child this isn't youre conversation to make she's right you know you always defend him and what Libby said annoyed

hey Ms. Waston Brad said with a smile

oh hey Brad Libby said with a smile then looking at peter and MJ with disgust

fuck off Brad MJ said annoyed then walked away as peter followed after her

ugh teenagers there the worse well except for you becuase at least you have more manners than that parker boy has whatever Libby said annoyed then defending Brad

Her mom comes back to the table then, finishing off her martini before starting on her wine. He doesn't know how she's even alive right now with how much she drinks seeing MJ and Peter walking to a different table but she just decides to sit next to them

They all eat their food then, both MJ and Peter eating half of theirs before switching plates with each other. It's probably some of the best food Peter has ever had, and he savors every single bite

"Michelle, use your manners. I swear I can't believe you're my daughter sometimes." her mom tells her in frustration, clenching her jaw angrily from across the table and Peter can tell she's wasted

shut up Peter said quickly to her being annoyed with her constantly criticizing   her daughter his girlfriend

he could tell MJ was hurt by it and he was done turning these comments he makes about her to a blind eye

but he didn't care anymore if Madeleine liked him because what the point when she constantly puts him down anyway even if he tries

MJ let out a gasp in shock as she heard peter just tell her mom to shut up

she wasn't mad at him for it since he was having her back

so it was nice to know that Peter didn't give a fuck what her mom thinks she definitely liked the sassy side of him and she also found it kinda hot

she covered her mouth so she doesn't laugh at her mom since she didn't want to get in bigger trouble with her than she already is right now so she just sits back and observes the whole thing

excuse me boy what did you just say to me Madeline said angrily looking at him with fueled hatred

so then Peter puts his elbow on the table just to spite her again because he then he wouldn't repeat himself

She then eyes him then, and he can feel it, but he just pulls open a lobster leg and eats it sloppily, knowing she's watching

She sits up from the table then and walks away with a huff, making much more of a scene than MJ ever did

"Isn't it kinda funny how big of a hypocrite she is?" Peter said laughing and shaking his head, finishing his lobster leg

"She's seriously going to kill you, you know," MJ said nudging his arm, smiling slightly

"If I had to guess how she would do it, I would say slow, painful torture. And I assume she adds another gruesome device every time you make one of those comments

"I don't care what she thinks anymore and you didnt deserve that so I always have youre back," he said shrugging it off, then giving MJ a soft smile leaning back in his seat and looking over at Anna and Jordan smiling and laughing at something someone from the next table said to them

"I did at first  when but not anymore Peter said with a shrug

youre like the best boyfriend ever but dont let that get your head okay tell Ned I said it and I'll deny it but I also found it kinda hot MJ said nervously leaning her head into his shoulder

Peter then smiles as MJ was on his shoulder looking to admire her

Then Peter watches the sky for a while then, seeing the sun turn from orange to pink, to black, and then notices how the strung-up lights around them are more prominent than ever
