My love for him

Chapter 30

              I left Chris's jacket in the back seat of the car so no one would notice it in the front seat. I didn't want to throw it on the floor, it would have been dirty. I scattered in my purse, looking for the keys. Before I even found it, dad opened the door. I took a step in the house, and he whispered "Don't worry, she's calmed down now."

             "Thanks, dad." She didn't calm down by herself, dad made her. He always supported me. We never had the boyfriend talk or the sex talk. Neither did I want to. Mom was sitting on the couch when I saw her. She noticed someone coming forward to her, and she looked up. She looked up to see it was me and stood up, almost growling at me. I pretended to cry, moms always fell for that. My mom seems scary and mean, but she's really not. She's warm hearted and beautiful with big green eyes. I'm more like my dad, and my brothers like my mom.

            Before mom gives me a lecture, I say "Mom, I'm sorry I came home late. Actually I didn't even realize it was already 9:30. Mom if I knew, I would have come straight home. I'm really sorry, I should've known." I tried to fake cry, but tears were stuck in my eyes. I stared at a photo frame on our wall without blinking, and it kind of made me cry.

         Mom "Honey, I care about you. I always wanted to protect you. You know what happened to three of your aunts." Oh yeah, I remember. My aunts were pregnant with their boyfriend's children, but all of the boyfriends left them. They were all alone after that, they would never trust any guy. It was a little different with my aunt, Marian. She is now with a nice sweet guy that she loves. They have three kids plus the boyfriend's kid. His name is Angel, and he is 9 years old. I went to see them last year, they all looked so happy. My other aunts never met anyone and lived with their children. This is why my mom was so worried about me.

            "Yeah, mom. I know, I'll be careful." Mom gave me a huge hug, and let me go fresh up. I went into my room, grabbed my pajamas and a black tank top, and headed to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth after I ate an apple. Jake was sleeping in his room so I walked back slowly in my room. I checked my phone, and Liz and Ciara asked if I was home. I said yeah, but didn't tell them about Chris yet. I'll leave that for tomorrow. I went to sleep thinking about the night with Chris. He looked so handsome today with a tuxedo on. Maybe someday I'll tell dad and mom about him.
