"You think you're different to me, don't you?" I tilt my head, staring at each other's lips.
Without breaking eye contact, he slowly stands, making him in control with the advantage in height. I'm the one looking up at him now.
"And you...

"So your mom has told me that you two are quite the scholars. What are you guys wanting to study in college?" Joseph asks, seeming interested.
I wanted nothing more than to get this dinner over with. Quite frankly, I don't give a shit if my mother dates I just rather not spend my time with her temporary boyfriends.
I've met Joseph one other time, after running into him on my way to the bathroom. Half naked. I don't care to know what he was doing there but my mom suggested we meet in a more appropriate manner.
There he was, sitting in his all mighty suit with his blonde hair gelled back and his million dollar smile. He showed up in a BMW wearing his most expensive watch. No wonder why my mother likes him. He's richer than the last two.
"I wanna be a marine biologist and my sister wants to be a lawyer." Reggie speaks for the both of us, knowing I purposely haven't been saying much.
"Oh a lawyer yeah? What kind of law are you interested in?" He asks.
"Criminal defense lawyer is my goal. I plan on moving to Boston once I get accepted to Harvard law." I explain.
"If she gets in. My sister has quite the ego if you haven't noticed." Reggie jokes as he eats his dinner.
"Anyway, Joe How was your day?" Mom interferes , wanting to change the topic.
She took over an hour getting ready just for this stupid dinner. She ordered take out and acted like she cooked it herself. She wore her whitest pearls and a red dress that made her look youthful. Her brown hair was loose over her shoulders. I admit she looked pretty, she usually does try to put an effort in her appearance.
"You know same old same old. I don't wanna bore you guys with the details." He smiles before carefully cutting his food.
"What do you do?" I drop my fork, looking at him.
"Anna-" I recognize moms tone. She's telling me not to butt in but who the hell cares.
"It's alright. She's curious." He speaks nicely.
"Yes, I'm so curious what it is you do to be wearing a suit like that and driving a car as shiny as yours." I lean in, sarcasm leaning in my tone.
"Well I help run a few of the businesses in town. I actually met your mom at one of my companies, while she was working." He looks at her, reaching for her hand giving it a squeeze.
