Heartless Love (GXG) (StudentxProfessor)

Chapter 47

*in the bathroom*

Becca walks in and finds Alix gripping the counter, trying to control her breathing. Walking over to her, she places a soft kiss on her temple.
"Hey" she says softly, noticing how white Alix's knuckles are. "Alix...baby" she says just loud enough for Alix to hear her. Slowly rubbing her back.
"What's going on?" Becca asks softly.
Alix clenches her jaw.
"Why is she here?" Alix asks softly.
"Drew mentioned your parents were going to be in town, and I thought it might be nice to meet them" she replies softly.
Alix shakes her head and lets out a short chuckle.
Keeping her eyes down, "then you should know...my mom hates gay people"
"What?" Becca asked slightly confused, "Drew said-"
"Drew has no idea how bad-" Alix stops and looks back down. Sighing softly. "We should go back to your mom".
Becca gently tilts Alix's chin up, so she meets her eyes. "My mom can hold her own for a few minutes. Her bark and bite are unmatched"
Alix hums softly. Becca places a soft kiss on her temple, then reaches for her hand. Taking it, Alix lets Becca lead her back to the table.

"I was beginning to wonder if you two snuck away" Mrs Blake jokes.
"I wouldn't do that to you" Alix says softly.
"You okay sweetheart?" Alix's dad asks. She nods and sips her water. Becca takes away Alix's knife and puts it with hers. Alix looks at her with raised eyebrows.
"Sorry I'm late" Jim says as he kisses Mrs Blake, "traffic at this time is brutal. Hi, I'm Jim Blake". He extends his hand to Alix's dad and mom.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Steve and this is Mae"
"Hi" Mae says shaking Jim's hand.
"So" he hums as he gets situated, "I know why Alix wanted this sit down. I'm assuming Becs here wanted the same thing" chuckles softly.
Alix looks at Becca who clears her throat and sips her water.
"I'm confused" Mae says with a hint of humor, "Are you two a thing? This that what this is about?"
"Mom-" Drew starts to say. Mae holds up a finger to him and looks at the two women across from her.
"Well" Mae questions her daughter.
"Yes, we are a 'thing' mom. And-"
"Oh you have got to be kidding me" Mae scoffs, "Alix we have talked about this. You are not gay!"
"Mrs Taylor-"
"No one asked you to speak" she hisses
Alix clenches her jaw and stares at her mother, holding her stare.
"You will show her respect" Alix clenches out.
With a scoff, "I will do no such thing. She doesn't warrant my respect"
"Okay" Dre says trying to calm the situation.
"If you can't show her respect, then you can leave"
"Don't talk to me like that young lady-"
"Respect is earned. It isn't given" Alix says with a stern look, "and to be frank I have no respect for you"
"Why can't you just be normal?!"
"I am normal!"
"You're a freak! This" motioning between her and Becca, "it isn't normal!"
"It actually is. It's found all through the animal kingdom. And yet homophobia is only found among bigot humans. You aren't any better than me just bc you're straight"
Mae scoffs and looks at her daughter, "you're going to hell. I hope you know that"
"The only one going to hell is you, mom. God never said to be a bigot or hate others. He only said to love them and yet, you're incapable of that"
"Alix" Steve warns. Alix looks at her dad, "That's enough".
"Actually" Jim says looking at Steve, "you're right. That is enough. I think it's time for you to leave"
Mae scoffs and grabs her purse leaving the table. Steve looks at Alix, and sighs "Fire with fire never accomplished anything"
"Neither did being a doormat or a pushover" Alix says back.
Jim and Steve both stand. He extends his hand, Jim shakes it with a tight squeeze. Drew sighs and watches as their parents leave the restaurant.
"I'll be back" he say as he stands and heads outside.

Anne looks at Jim then at Alix, who avoids eye contact.
"I'm sorry" Alix says softly
"Oh sweetheart" Anee says softly, "you have nothing to apologize for you"
Anee lets out a soft chuckle, "I'm just mad the waiter didn't bring over the bread. Dinner and a show"
"Mom" Becca says softly
"What? I'm proud of Alix. Standing up to bullies is never easy, and when it's her own mother. She deserves a standing ovation!"
"She right" Jim says softly. "I mean I already liked you. But anyone who stands up for our little girl, I think you hit the jack pot Spitfire"
Becca rolls her eyes at the nickname, slowly rubbing Alix's thigh feeling how tense she is.
"I know I did" she says, softly kissing Alix's cheek.

When Drew walks back in, he sighs and makes his way over to the table.
"Dad says he'll call you"
"Tell him not to bother"
"Al...come on"
Alix just looks at Drew. "Come on? Really Drew? You brought them here, knowing mom hates me. And for what?"
"Becca said-"
"That you told her our parents would be in town. Why would you even think I'd subject her to mom's hate and bigotry?!"
Alix kisses Becca's cheek and gets up, looking at her parents, "excuse me".
Becca holds onto her hand until she has to let gov watching Alix head to sit outside. She sighs and looks at Drew.
"You said you don't see eye to eye...I'm guessing your mom is one of those things"
"Yeah" he says softly. "Alix doesn't get it. Mom is just-"
"No. Alix gets it perfectly" Mrs Blake says. "Your mom is a bigot and hates her daughter for what? Loving my daughter? The only thing that's 'not normal' is your mother's hate for her own daughter. She missing out. Alix is an amazing and an incredibly loving person. You" point at Drew, "owe your sister one hell of an apology"

Anne gets up, kissing Becca's cheek then heading outside with Alix. Jim kisses his daughter's head and looks at Drew, "What you did...was reckless and rude. You couldn't even see the pain in your sister's eyes while your mom called her a freak. I'm disappointed in you...you're supposed to be a man. And today you proved you are nothing more than a boy"
He heads over to the waiter and pays for the drinks before heading outside. Drew sighs and looks at Becca.
"Don't" she says looking at him, "because I agree with everything they said"
"I was trying to help" he says with a huff.
"Help? Help who Drew? If I would've known Alix doesn't get along with your mom, I would've never asked to met your parents. Alix never talked about them much, and now I know why. This meeting is over"

She grabs her coat and keys and heads out to where her parents and Alix are.
"Are you okay?" Becca whispers as she pulls Alix into a hug. "Not even close" Alix whispers back, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend. "Am I allowed to go back to your house?" Alix asks softly.
"Of course. Want me to-"
Alix shakes her head softly, "no. I'm not ruining your first day of work"
"Spending the day with you, sounds way more enjoyable then going back for more meetings"
Alix looks down and shakes her head softly. Becca sighs and kisses her forehead.
"You scoot. I'm stealing Alix for the day" Mrs Blake says.
"Ah. She's myyyyy girlfriend" Becca says wrapping Alix in a tight hug. Alix lets out a soft chuckle.
"Besides, you have dad" Becca nods to her dad. He lifts his hands and chuckles, "I know better. Besides your mom is excited to have another girl in the family"
"Come on. Chop chop" Mrs Blake claps softly, "give her a smooch and scoot. I need my Alix time"
Becca glares at her mom, making her laugh. "I'm watching you"
She cups Alix's cheek softly, placing sweet kisses on her lips before a soft kiss, "I love you"
"I love you" Alix says back softly.
"I'll be home for dinner. Don't let my mother spoil you too much"
"Ah" Anne quips, "I will spoil her. And she'll enjoy it"
Alix chuckles and shakes her head. Giving her girlfriend another soft kiss and a hug. Becca hands her the house keys and looks at her mom, mouthing "thank you". Mrs Blake smiles and nods. Jim gives Becca a kiss on the cheek then kisses Anne, "behave have fun. Don't let her get into trouble"
"I won't" Anne smirks softly.
"I was talking to Alix" he quips.
Alix smiles softly and nods. "We'll be good".
He waves and heads off with Becca as they leave. Anne hums and looks at Alix, "I'm thinking baking and movies. Yes?"
"Sounds great" she answers softly.
Anne loops her arm around Alix's as they head back to her car.
