Chapter 18 || How fucking long, Freya?

;hurt doesn't give you an excuse, being broken doesn't either

I've known my parents, what, my entire life? And not once, have I seen my mother act like this... I mean, not that I've ever brought a girl around to meet her, but even when Jesse, or any of my aunt and uncles kids have brought around their other half, my mom was always polite and sweet, not gushing like a pre-teen with her first crush.

Maybe it's because Freya's mine, she's with me, and that's why my mom can't stop smiling at her like she put the moon in the sky. 

I'm in love with the girl, I'm allowed to look at her like that.

I watch on as Freya tips her head back and laughs at something my mom is saying, pulling her long, brown hair over her shoulders, letting it fall loosely down her back. 

The white dress that poofs out around her thighs shows off those tanned legs I love so fucking much, trying not to get hard as she crossed one over the other on the stool.

She's stunning.

My dad chuckling from across the booth seats where we stayed behind, catches my attention, my eyes meeting his at the last second.

He caught me, red fucking handed.

"What you laughing at, old man?" I taunt, smirking before taking a drink of my water.

"Less of the old man, boy. I could still drop you on your ass twenty years older or not." My dad laughs, kicking my foot under the table, when he sobers up, he flicks his head towards mom and Freya. "The girl, got it bad?"

I chew a cold, soggy fry, shrugging one of my shoulders.

Yeah, that shit doesn't fly with my dad, he's not a man of many words these days, but he's a cocky son of a bitch when he wants to be, and he knows I'm chatting shit.

"Can't kid a kidder, son." he tells me, one dark brow raised. "It's written all over your face."

I wince. "That obvious?"

My dad snorts out a laugh. "That obvious, son. She seems like a nice girl. Didn't peg you for the sweet and innocent type though."

"You and me both." I huff out a chuckle. "She's great though, amazing actually. Real smart, funny, gorgeous, and she has this way of just... being with me, around me, not taking my shit and telling me off when I'm being a dumbass-"

I catch my dad smirking at me from the corner of my eye, without realising it, my focus had floated back to her.

It's my turn to kick his foot now. "Stop smiling like that, you look like a creep." I deadpan, making him laugh.
