Chapter 12 - Mother's Intuition

I sat in my room, contemplating why Cloud just let me go with Seb. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Seb, I do and I'm happy that he asked me but why would Cloud just do that? Okay, I sound like a slut by saying that.

Reader: Good to know that you know.

I heard a knock on my door making me snap out of my thoughts. "Come in!" I said, loud enough for the other person to hear. I waited and saw my Mom's head pop out. "Hey Mom." I said as I offered her a small smile. She returned the smile as she walked towards me and sat in my bed, beside me. "Sweetie, what's wrong?" She asked making me roll my eyes at what she called me. Sweetie. "I feel weird, Mom." I looked at my Mom as I bit my lip. "And why is that?" She asked with her left eyebrow raised.

I cleared my throat. If I want my Mother's wisdom words, I'd tell her. With that in mind, I prepared myself to share my love life to my own Mother. "There's this guy..." I trailed off "I knew it has something to do with a guy." Mom said as she cracked a smile. "How?" I asked "You came from my vagina, Skit and after that I raised you, Mother's Intuition." She explained. "But continue." She quickly added.

"Oh-kay...?" For the second time, I cleared my throat. "There's this guy, he's sweet, smart, caring, and doesn't give a bull about what other people's opinions of him." I said "He makes me laugh and he makes me feel at ease, you know?" I asked Mom as I glanced at her "Well, actually, you don't." I muttered "When I'm with him, I don't feel any insecurity. I'm completely comfortable around him." I finished. "Do you like him?" Mom asked "No... I don't think so." I whispered.

"And then there's this other guy." I said and when Mom heard that, she chuckled. "2 guys?" She asked as she laughed. "Shut up, Mom." I muttered as I felt heat form across my cheeks. "Okay, okay, go on." She said. "The other guy, I've been in love with him for a while - a long while. He's a great but he also failed me so many times, now." I said "Okay. So there's 2 guys, the first one is good to you and the second one's a jerk but you're in love with him." She stated "I asked the first guy if he can be my date at the Ball but then the second guy arrived and asked if he can be my date." I told her. "What did you say?" She asked. I looked at Mom before smiling. "The first guy said that I should go with the second guy." I muttered.

Mom combed my hair using her fingers making me turn to look at her. "And you told the second guy that you'd go to the Ball with him, am I right?" She asked with a small smile. I nodded. "I think that the first guy wants you to say yes to the other guy because he thinks that you want to go with him." Mom said "The other guy, I mean." She quickly added. "That doesn't make sense! I asked Cloud to be my date! Why would he think that I want to go with Sebastian? For pete's sake!" I yelled in exasperation. Cloud can be a little bit stupid, sometimes.

"Cloud Montero? The guy you told us about?" Mom asked, sounding amused as she did. "Did I say Cloud? I don't think I did." I innocently said as I mentally bashed my head into the wall.

Reader: Why'd you fucking yell Cloud and Seb's name you, dumb-ass?!

I don't know! I was pissed off!

"Oh, sweetie, it's fine. You don't have to lie to me although you're father? Well, that's another story." She jokingly said but you can definitely tell that it was half meant. "Anyways, I think that Cloud -" She paused for a bit "Seb failed you? How?!" She asked. "He bailed out on me." I said "To do what?" To fuck some chick. "To take care of his little brother." I muttered. "Oh sweetie, I think that's not considered as bailing. He took care of his brother." She consoled. No, he really didn't. I just sighed, knowing that I had no choice but to lie if I want my Mom to look at him the same way.

"Do you want to hear what I think?" She asked as she wrapped an arm around my shoulder and smiled down on me. I smiled back at Mom. "I think that you want to go with Cloud instead of Seb." She said "And I think that you should tell them that because it's what you want and at the end of the day, what matters the most is what you want." She continued. I, again, offered a small smile before hugging her. "Thanks, Mom." I whispered in her ear.

Now, do I take Mom's advice or not?

-

You can think of something, Skit. I know you will.

What is up? Hey guys!

So, I'm thinking of changing things up a little bit and honestly, I don't know if you'll hate me or love me for it.

I think you would hate me.

But hey! That's just a thought, don't take it seriously...

YET.

Haha! Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Blah, blah, blah, thank you for reading it blah, blah, blah. Have a nice day! :)

Love you.
