Chapter 56: Lovebug

When I arrived at my house in Texas last Friday night, the first thing I did was hug my mom tightly. I whispered in her ear that I was thankful to her from the bottom of my heart and that I would never forget this gesture. I never doubted that my mom was amazing, but even her capabilities are limited when it comes to my dad and his stubbornness.

I knew that their contract had to be respected and my dad's word on my prospect was final. Like I said before, it was a non-starter for my father to see me prospected to Jake. So, I deeply appreciate the miracle that my mom pulled off to get my dad to approve of him.

"What are you thanking her for, I was the one who sent the email approving your little crush as your prospect." Dad said, sulking at the five minute long hug I gave to my mother.

"Yes, dad. Thank you, I truly appreciate you for doing that." I conceded, hugging my dad next. It is only fair otherwise he would sulk forever. Seth took his turn hugging our mom.

While the driver took our luggage upstairs to our suites, Seth and I walked inside the house to find dinner ready for us, as expected. But first, curious minds wanted to know...

"How was it? Tell me everything! Did Jake surrender to your arms and now you two are happier than ever?" Mom was giddy with excitement for me and I truly loved her for that. Alas...

Seth and I exchanged a 'twin' glance that told us exactly what each other was thinking right now.

"Unfortunately, Jake decided to stick with his previous relationship with Jayden, so no. We are not together, nor did he accept me as a prospect." I declared, sounding hurt by this fact, that I could not believe I had to report to my parents.

"What? You cried every day to your mother to get my permission only for that kid to reject you?" Dad gasped in shock at this information, revolted that his son was rejected.

"First of all, I did not cry every day... to mom." There was a pregnant pause between the last words, as I am deeply embarrassed to admit this to them.

"Jayden already had a previous relationship with Jake, I told you guys there was another guy in the mix for him. But I haven't given up hope just yet that he is lost to me. Until Jake's mother approves of Jayden there is still hope for us." I argued, fiercely.

My mother and father exchanged a glance that also told me they were thinking the exact same thing. And I know exactly what they were thinking...

"I see. And when is Jayden supposed to be vetted by Jacob's mother?" Dad asked me with a bored expression on his face.

"They are already in Boulder as we speak." Seth informed them, pitying me with his stare.

"Listen, sweetheart. What is meant to be yours will happen for you. If Jake is supposed to be with you, then he will be. But you need to be prepared for the possibility that Jake belongs with someone else. I am sorry, but you can't make someone fall in love with you." Mom cautioned me, warily.

I grimaced at the thought behind that statement. I know what she means by that. There is a high probability that Jayden will be approved by Dr. Anderson at the end of this weekend.

"I know, mom, but I can't give up on him." I pouted, heartbroken at the mere thought.

"Of course not. Who can resist this face?" She squeezed my cheeks playfully. I love my mom.

My parents, brother, and I sat down for a quick talk before dinner was served. But dad wasted no time in asking his sons about what was next for us.

"Assuming that boy prospects the one who he's taking to see his mother, what are your plans going forward? Do you have a backup plan?" He asked me in a concerned tone. Mom also looked worried for me.
