Sugar & Spice

New Boyfriend?

It's the middle of Summer and it's kind of hot here in Boston. Yeah we live in Boston. I basically like going on walks a lot. My mom always makes sure I have my pepper spray on me. When I'm in a grumpy mood people better leave me alone. That's the spice talking. I was walking around the streets of Boston. Today I decided to wear black jeans, white shirt, black leather jacket, black converse shoes, and a dark red hat. I like to walk out and get fresh air all the time. I walked back to our small little house we had. I opened the door and heard talking. "Listen Chris she could be home any moment. Fix your hair" I heard my mothers voice. Who's Chris?
"I'm just so excited to meet her" a guys voice said.
"She's probably gonna flip at the fact I've been dating you for 2 months and I didn't tell her at all" my mom said. Wait what?!
"Hello?" I said walking down the hallway.
"Hayley! Your home early" my mom said walking out from the kitchen.
"Yeah mom I only went out for a walk- what's this I hear about you dating?" I asked crossing my arms over my chest. I'm really short compared to most people. I hate it!
"Um... Well... He's this guy" she started saying.
"Really it's a guy!" I said smiling. Hint: that was sarcasm.
"He's an actor... He's really nice. I think you'll like him" she said smiling.
"An actor really" I said notice the sarcasm.
"Yes. His name is Chris" she said as a tall man maybe in his 30s stepped out of the kitchen. He had brown hair and a beard. It's not a big beard but it's cool looking. Then I noticed... Actor. Chris. Oh crap! It's Christopher Robert Evans. He's like one of my favorite actors. No big deal. Doesn't mean I'll like him though.
"Uh hi I'm Chris" he said holding out his hand for me to shake it. I stared at his hand then decided to shake it. Can't be rude.
"Yeah hi" I said I swear if he breaks my moms heart I'll break his pretty little face. Well with words. I'm not strong.
"Well Hayley why don't you tell Chris about yourself" my mom said trying to start a conversation between me and Chris.
"Sugar and spice" is all I said then walked right up stairs. I stopped in the hallway and listened to them talking.
"Sorry about her" my mom said.
"It's fine. What does sugar and spice mean?" Chris asked. Oh great she's gonna tell him the story.
"Well her father said she was a mix between Sugar and Spice. Her father died when she was 5" my mom said. I heard Chris sigh.
"Maybe you should talk to her" Chris said.
"Or you should" I could hear the smile in my moms tone. Uh oh. I walked back to my room closed the door quietly. I took off my jacket, hat, shoes, and my book bag. I sat on my bed playing on my phone. Then someone knocked on my door.
"Come in" I said with a hint of sarcasm. The door opened and Chris smiled.
"Hi" he said.
"Can I help you?" I asked not looking up from my phone.
"Listen I just want to talk to you" he said as he walked in closing the door behind him.
"Great" I said with a lot of sarcasm dripping from my mouth. He didn't know how to start a conversation with me which is normal. All my moms exes were shy around me. I know why. His phone beeped breaking the silence. Oh thank god!
"Uh... Well I have to go" he said, "it was nice meeting you. I just hope we'll get time to talk." He left the room leaving me and my thoughts at peace.
