Chapter two - Choking thrice, no biggie

I glanced at my phone again, the time is currently four thirty and this barf isn't here yet, I forgot to ask him the time due to the excitement of him coming. Feeling annoyed I click on his number calling him, Once, twice, thrice he didn't pick up.

I tossed my phone on the couch standing up to take a slice of pizza I bought from the box, with each munch I imagined it was him. I finished one slice, and two and three and ding, the sound of the doorbell ringing caught my attention I hurriedly wiped my mouth and shoved the last pizza in my mouth.

The door opened to reveal my him, he's brown hair was ruffled and as it glisten I wondered if it was sweat or water. His black tshirt hung on him perfectly as he paired it with matching pants and canvas.

" Can I come in or do you need more time to asses me?," he impatiently said, I looked up red in embarrassment as I opened the door widely for him to enter, he removed his shoes and his eyes roam around.

For me I won't say our house was the biggest but it sure was homey, we had a carpet on every door Mom's idea by the way, we have two big couch's facing the tv and a large white carpet in the middle and a glass table on top of it. We had these fake squishy fruits on top, on the far left we have a little dining table with three tables and a middle glass table.

Few colorful paintings were hung around our living room, and a big stuffed teddy I got on my tenth year birthday was near the tv. He looked over at me waiting for me to say something, I sighed taking him to my room.

I specifically arranged everything and clean it to bits, Well you caught me my mom did it. To be honest I won't care if he saw how messy my room was, I placed a notebook, a drawing pad and some pencils on my bed before turning to Nate who stood akwardly on the doorside.

" Geez, just come and sit I don't bite," he lingered for a while before walking towards me and sitting on the bed. It bounces on the added weight and I got straight to work, I opened the notebook and took out a pen.

" Firstly we have to come up with ideas, what you think we should do?, " I glance over at him waiting for him to say something but he kept quiet.

Fine, it's not like I can't do this all by myself.

"I had this idea," I said opening the drawing pad, " this is a doll, so if we insert this to that," I spent the next hour explaining to Nate but all I got was no response, when I was done with my presentation I look up and asked for his opinion.

Wrong move.

He pointed billions of mistakes and why the idea wouldn't work, I bit my lip In frustration.

" Let's each write down any ideas we get and decide tomorrow," he said it so casually and left my room, that son of a jacuzzi I literally spent hours for that idea and he dismissed it. He's going to get it, I hurriedly ran from my room and fell on my butt when I hit something hard. I look up to see nate standing there like a statue and mom widening her eyes In disbelief.

" Oh my goodness athena," mom rushed over to me almost tripping on the grocery bag she brought along but nate held her back respectfully steadying her balance, she didn't spare a glance at him and lower down to my level.

" Am fine, mom," I said as she roamed her hand around my body checking for any injury's, she sighed In relief when she found none and turned to face nate.

" You," she said menacingly, nate turned to face mom and furrowed his eyebrows together in confusion.

" You can't even take care of her after she gave up her virginity to you," mom said, at that moment I prayed to my powerful God up there to please take me away, I just wanted to die. Nate eyes widened In shock and I can't really blame him, my face was red with embrassment and I just wanted the ground to open and swallow me.

I can never understand my mom she is so different from other mom's, she had the talk with me when I was thirteen. Dude! What was I going to do at thirteen? But my mom wasn't having it, she will question any boy that i went out with or even breath near.

I am seventeen I should have gotten used to it right? But I can never because it seemed to get worst day by day. I was proud of being a virgin but that doesn't mean she should tell every boy that i speak with.

" Do you even know what after care is?," She questioned nate, but he doesn't seem to be there. He's focus was anything but mom and me, I jolted up and grabbed mom's arm but she yanked it back.

" You shouldn't be ashamed dear," she said calmly running her hand through my hair, I shaked my head.

" Did he threaten you?, I will kill this untrained boy," she walked over to him and yanked his ear.

" Mom, his nate my class project partner," I yelled breathing in relief when she let go of nate red ear and we all looked at each other exchanging looks.

I don't know who told mom this was a good idea but she invited nate to have dinner with us, he agreed hesitantly and here we are just munching on the rice mom cooked. Mom is a good cook not joking, she has her own restaurant down town.

" What your name nate?," mom asked trying to strike up a conversation. "Nate," he replied and it took all that was in me not to laugh at mom question.

" Ok soo, what were you really doing in my fluffy muffin room," mom said narrowing her eyes at nate, Fluffy Muffin really mom?.

" We were just discussing about the class project together, that's all," he replied shoving more rice in his mouth at this point he looks like stuffed teddy.

" Oh I see! Are you single nate?," Oh no, I know where this was going and i didn't like it. I felt a feet near me and stomped on it hoping it was mom and she would stop but it ended up being nate which kinda satisfied me alot.

" Yes I am ma'am," mom smiled sweetly removing any suspicious look she had a couple of minutes ago, she added extra pieces of meat on his plate.

" Call me isabella sweetheart, you see athena is single too," I knew what she was going to say but still choked on the rice I was eating, mom offered a cup of water rubing down my back gently.

I have choked thrice, no biggie

Nate glanced over to me then back at my mom, his eyes shifted nervously before gulping down cup of water after water. We watched in amazement as he gulped down the whole flask of water.

Mom smiled, " Let me go get more water dearie?," he smiled back making up an excuse that he has to leave for an emergency.

I sighed in relief even assisting him to put on his shoes when he couldn't, I locked the door siting back on the chair.

" He's a sweet one, he lasted more than five minutes," mom smiled and I agreed, all the boys I have brought him couldn't stand mom more than a minute.

" That sounded wrong but ok, am heading to bed goodnight mom,"

" Goodnight sweetie," she kissed my forehead and I went to my room to rest my sleepy eyes.
