As soon as I heard my second and last name I just knew I was about to get flamed. I went through a million ideas in my head as my mom started talking. I just needed to figure out a way to get away with his without having my mother feeling disappointed.
"Are you listening to me Jude?" My mom asked in a stern tone. The truth was I hadn't heard a single word she had just said, I was too busy thinking of a solution.
"Sorry mom" I mumbled knowing she would repeat whatever she was preaching.
"I understand you are young but you have to watch your imagine Jude. You can't just be seen with a different girl every week and expect people to take you seriously. 2 girls in a time frame of 3 weeks? Are you mad? This is not the kind of man I have taught you to be. The way you treat women says a lot about you, you need to be respected as a man and you're acting like a horny 15 year old. Not even Jobe acts this way! Get your shit together before I have to fly to Portugal early." She said, her tone clearly upset.
I never dealt well with disappointing my mom, I don't think anyone did but - this woman meant everything to me. She and my dad did everything they possibly could to make sure I got to where I was. I owed everything to them and I just couldn't let her down. I knew my mom was in distress and there was only a solution for this.
"I'm sorry mom. I know what it looks like but I was kind of careful. My location was leaked. " I explained. "But I want you to know what I'm actually serious about this girl" I should have probably gone through this idea with Claudia first but she surely wouldn't mind, right?
It all made sense in my head. We would fake a relationship for some months, maybe 6 or 8. It would stop with the fuckboy rumours, my mom wouldn't be disappointed that I was ruining my reputation for something meaningless - it all added up.

As soon as I heard him telling his mother he was serious about me I gasped causing me to choke on air. What the fuck?!
