Friendship and the Four Seasons: Winter

Chapter 14

There was giggling, a whole familiar giggling that ringed to Cindy's ears. And there was an unusually built structure she got her arms wrapped around with. She was still feeling very sleepy and dreamy that she didn't mind the noise and the unfamiliar thing she was hugging so comfortably. But then, when that structure started to move and moan, she flickered and got herself all jumpy. With wide eyes, realization dawned on her. She slept with Layne Williams, on their carpet and near their fireplace. And what makes it all worst, was her mom, standing tall near to them giggling like a teenage girl.

"Sweetie, your bed was big enough." With a clear mocking voice, her mother's words gave her chills like the weather wasn't cold enough to do so.

Unbelievable. She thought.

Her mom could be a little off sometimes, if they switched roles, then she'd be a reprimanding mother who'll sure to be kicking Layne's butt out of their house right now. But nothing happened to her and Layne. She surely knew. Except for the kiss they shared, of course, where she was the aggressive one, wanting more. With the embarrassing yet sweet memory, she face-palmed herself and eyed her teasing mother with two tinted plot on her cheeks.

"Nothing happened mom, don't get yourself too excited," she hissed frustratingly.

She slowly stood up from where she was seated awkwardly. She was thankful Layne was still sleeping peacefully. She thought she had at least a time to spare to try to compose herself for what happened between them... if she could ever do that...with the way she behaved a while ago and the fact that she have no choice but to face Layne when he wakes up, it was like impossible. Cindy Lopez was freaking out inside her head but her face looks as calm as a deer for she knew her mom was watching her with amusement.

But right now, the first thing she opted to do was to deal with her mother.

The two headed to the kitchen silently. Cindy pondered on what to say to her mom, even though it looked like her mom was happy about the whole situation, she didn't want her to misunderstand anything.

"It was your fault mom," Cindy blurted out accusingly. She suddenly remembered that nothing of that could have ever happened if her mother didn't agree to Layne's plans.

"So it's now my fault the two of you are snugging all lovingly a while ago?" her mother teased her more which riled up further her frustrations.

"Yes!" She stated unquestionably.

But at the same time felt defeated. It sure wasn't her mom, who deliberately sent signals to Layne to kiss her and, most of all it was not her mom who grabbed Layne to kiss her more. It was her fault. It was all her doing. She was all to blame, no one else. She admitted wordlessly.

How could she ever face the guy normally? That was the number one question that bothered her.

They kissed. And it was a very intimate kiss they shared. It was the hot and fiery type of a kiss. As she started to recall everything, she felt warm and enraged by her actions. She was anxious for she felt as if she was the one who initiated everything.
