Tangled Tracks on Side B

Chapter 10

A.N.  Enjoy and let me know what you think! ⭐️

When I woke up Saturday morning I had things to do.

The first thing was to change my bedsheets.

I straightened up my room and put things away, I cleaned up my bathroom and I made sure I had extra water bottles and snacks available so I wouldn't have to leave my room that evening.

I texted Aunt Maggie.

                                                         I'm sorry I missed you last night Auntie, do you have time to go to the mall with me today?

just the two of us?

                                                   if you can, I'd love that

sure, I'll pick you up for lunch

We had done it before, which is probably why she didn't think much of it.

"It's sweet of you to go spend time with Aunt Maggie," Mom Amelia said when I told her about my plans.

I nodded, "I didn't mean to skip Family night," I said and realized as the words were leaving my mouth it was stupid of me to bring it up.

"How're the girls doing? What did you guys end up doing last night?"

Shit.

"Same as usual, we just hang out and talked about boys and girls," I lied.

"Uuuuuh, anything worth sharing?" She seemed like a teenager herself.

"Let the kid be," Mom Laura laughed from the couch and got up to step next to Mom Amelia.

I shrugged and waited for Aunt Maggie to get me out of that situation.

Luckily they soon got distracted with planning their upcoming week, whose turn it was to go to the store, and which days wich one of them could take us or pick us up from school.

There was only a quick moment in which they both realized, while comparing their schedules, they'd both be home one morning at a time at which we were going to be in school and their eyes quickly traveled to me before they got quiet.

Man, I did not need to know about their Thursday morning sex plans.

Aunt Maggie walked straight through the door. Too little too late.

I laughed at my private joke.

"Ready to go baby?" She asked me.

I never stopped being "baby" for most of my family.

I nodded and grabbed my phone and my jacket before heading out with her.

"Bye moms!" Aunt Maggie said in a mocking tone.

They both laughed, there was probably more to it than I knew, or wanted to know.

"I'm sorry I'm stealing you from your family," I told her as we walked through the mall.

"Don't joke, honey, I get them seven days a week, you're also my family," She said and took me under her arm.

I was trying to find the courage to bring up what I wanted to talk to her about, the whole reason why I had texted her in the first place.

It was tough though.

I was stuck going in circles on the usual topics, school, sports, books, music-
