Her mom pulls up to the curb and Emily runs to the car door and opens it for me.

"Thank you."

"No problem!" She responds as she hops in the front next to her mom.

Her mom glances left to right then looks into the side mirror to see behind, she turns the wheel and we drive away from the coffee shop.

Her mom looks in the mirror to check on me, "Hi." Then she sets the GPS in the direction of my adress.

I smile in an attempt to make a good impression, "Hello." - after all, I did just kiss her daughter ..well she doesn't know that but, whatever.

Her mom speaks again, "So did you guys have fun?"

Emily turns to her, "Yes, actually. He was amazing!" You didn't even watch me perform.

Her mom replies, "Well great, I'm glad you guys had fun!" Uhuh.

The rest of the way home we sit in silence, besides the news station Emily's mom has playing in the background.

When we finally get to my house Emily's mom tells her to walk me to the door, "Okay, you have a good day Jeffrey."

"You too."

Emily and I jump out at the same time. We wait till we're a little further from the car to speak.

"So what was that all about?"

"What? Are you talking about the kiss? You kissed me."

"You kissed me back."

"What the fuck Jeffrey, what are you even talking about?"

"Nevermind I guess I'm just confused."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean like what was it about?"

We reach the porch, "Listen Jeffrey we can talk about this tomorrow my mom is waiting for me in the car." Emily gives me a hug then walks over to the car. Once she gets in, I watch them drive off.

See you tomorrow.
