A love hate relationship

Flora

I had to work and get back to making that money. Now that I was in a relationship I definitely needed my own place. I would never forget our first vacation. We didn't go ask a couple but we came back as one. I was still on cloud nine even though I was now nervous. I looked when she grabbed my hand pulling it to her mouth kissing the back of her hand. She wanted to reassure me that everything was going to be fine and as much as I wanted to just erase my worry I couldn't. I knew I was going to go through a lot of emotions but as long as I had her I felt that I could get through them. We barely spoke the whole ride to my place. She wanted me to come back to her place but I needed to show my face to my mother or else she would worry and I didn't need that. Once she parked I was ready to lean over and give her a kiss when movement caught my eye. Looking I saw that it was my mother. 

"I was just about to call you girl." My mom said as she bent over looking through the window. 

"I figured that you were going to." She then looked over a Melissa.

"Is this your friend you went on vacation with?"

"Ah yeah. Mom this is Melissa. Melissa my mom." She reached over at me and shook my mothers hand. 

"Nice to meet you ma'am." 

"Same to you. You're beautiful."

"Thank you." She smiled from ear to ear. 

"Are you coming up with Flora? Dinner is almost ready and it's more than enough."

"I mean I would love to come up if it's okay with Flora." She was still cheesing and I wanted to knock that smile off her beautiful ass face. 

"Girl come on up. Don't worry about Flora, I'm inviting you. I never saw her hanging with anyone but Tara. It's about time she got a new friend."

"I agree." She said and I shook my head. 

"Come on up." We watched as she walked away going inside and I looked at Melissa. "I mean I would love to come up if it's okay with Flora." I mocked and she laughed. 

"You scared?"

"Never that."

"Come on then." Sighing we stepped out of the car and made our way inside. I took a deep breath before entering the house. "Don't worry mama's I won't say anything."

"I know." Leaning in I gave her a quick kiss.

"Mmmm." She always made me smile. Once we walked in the house she inhaled the aroma in the house. "It smells so good in here."

"Mom be throwing down in here." We made our way into the kitchen where mom was and she looked over a Melissa smiling at her. 

"You look nice."

"Thank you."

"Something tells me that mom invited you up to really scoop you out." I said.

"And you want me to deny it?" I shook my head. "How old are you sweetie?"

"I'll be twenty soon."

"Just twenty? You look older. I would have thought Flora's age."

"Yeah I get that a lot." 

"You go to school?"

"No ma'am."

"Work?"

"Yeah. I work with Flora."

"Oh okay. How do you like it?"

"It's cool. Helps pay the bills."

"You're helping your mother. That's good."
