Chapter 10

Nova

The next morning I woke up with terrible pain on my stomach. I quickly jumped out of bed and cursed out loud.

Of course my period.

My mom comes rushing in my room with a worried look but she sees my bed and sighs.

"What I tell you about that language Nova," she says crossing her arms.

"Sorry mom, I need new bed sheets," I say, these were my favorite.

"It's okay, we'll go into town today," she says with a smile.

When she left I did a happy dance. Everytime I go with my mom to town she always ends up spoiling me, sometimes I don't even bring my money.

I quickly got dressed into some thick black leggings and my brown hoodie. I brushed my teeth and pulled my braids into a low ponytail.

Flashbacks from last night swirled my thoughts and that instantly brought a smile on my face. I've never sent pictures to anyone let alone something like that but... he's too tempting.

When I entered the kitchen, Nyla and dad were on the couch she was showing on her phone, most likely dresses.

"Where you going?" She peeks her head over the couch as I made a bowl of Frosted Flakes.

"With mom."

She gives me a evil glare and I smile. Nyla acts like dad doesn't spoil her the same way mom does me, it's so weird to think maybe we are our parents favorite daughters.

I downed two bowls of cereal and I took a pain pill because I felt a headache creeping up. Mom was done getting ready so I slip into my uggs and grabbed my bag.

"Love my babies," she went and gave Nyla and dad a kiss on their forehead.

"Love you too."

Nyla didn't miss the chance to shoot me an eye roll behind moms back but I just smile and flick her off.

We've only been to three stores and I feel like I have a new wardrobe. I was able to get my costume because I'm sure I'll be dragged to a Halloween party next weekend.

Mom helped me pick out a new bed set which was black silk sheets and a grey comforter. I feel like rearranging my room will definitely make me into a better person.

We went into Victoria Secret and my eyes scan over the lingerie. I definitely can't look at any with my mom, some things are meant to be private.

Instead I checked out some underwear that were way too stringy for my liking.

"Why are we in here?" I ask after realizing. I looked around the store for mom and found her staring at the lingerie. My mouth nearly fell open. I thought parents stop having sex at a certain age but I assumed wrong.

I went and checked out some two piece sweat set. I grabbed two and check the size. I've never been one to add pink into my closet but a light pink is better than a hot pink.

As I made my way over to mom, I wonder if I should give her privacy because I've never once assumed my mom was one of those girls.

I'd love to be one of those girls but again, I can't buy lingerie with my mom.

She smiled as I approached her, holding up a blue lacey one piece.

"What do you think about this one?" She was asking for my opinion and I was again shocked.

Where is my mother?

I shrug. "Dad's favorite color isn't blue."

"So?"

Well I'm sure he will like either way. Ew. I do not want to think about their reactions,

My phone rang in my purse and I pulled it out, a smile on my face.

"Hello?" I walk away from my mom who was still holding pieces up in the mirror staring at herself.

"What you doing right now?" Sean asks on the other end, his voice dark and demanding.

I smile. "Shopping."

"You doing any try ons?" His tone was teasing and it got my underwear wet.

"What do you want to see?" I start glancing at the lingerie sets. Is that too much? You only live once.

"Anything you put on princess." I nearly melted in the middle of the floor.

Ugh I want to be in his skin.

We've only known each other for a short amount of time and it's starting to turn a direction I'm not sure I can handle yet because I'm not even sure he would want to take it to a new level.

"Okay." I end the call and nonetheless begin my search for sexy lingerie to try on.

There were some good ones, I mostly did black in different styles but they were boring so I switched to red.

I tried on a red two piece, a lacey bra that's see through and a tiny skirt that revealed my ass. I kinda felt like a anime character taking these pictures but I only saved them in my gallery.

I'm busy right now so I decided not to text back until I got home.

After I while I ended up purchasing three sets with my own money because I'd thought it be too weird to use my moms money and just stuffed them in a bag I already had.

When we left town it was already dark. My mind begin to wonder of all the scenarios of me sending these pictures to Sean. I could suddenly get bold and sneak him through the front door or, we could have phone sex but then I'd be wishing it was his hands touching my body and not mine.

"How's that project going with that Sean kid?" My mom asks turning down the radio a bit.

"Our teacher actually switched our partners," I say feeling a bit bummed that he chose someone else. It still stings in my chest thinking about it but what's done is done.

"Oh. How is that kid?" Mom asks.

I scoff. "Obnoxious."

She laughs. "That's how your father was in high school."

"Was he a football player as well?" I look at her.

"Basketball."

Mom and dad never really shared their high school lives with us. All I know is that they were high school sweethearts and mom had me in college.

"Don't get too obsessed with these boys Nova, you have a bright future ahead of you." that's something dad would say.

I almost roll my eyes, mom was carefree about what I want to do, as long as I do something whereas dad is forcing me to go to a good college. A college that he went to that I have absolutely no interest in. I wish both my parents would be proud whatever choice I choose to do but I know I'm just giving my hopes up.
