Mate

Chapter 2

I could tell from the moment my parents told me we were moving back to their hometown, "The place it all started" as they like to put it, they were ecstatic. I mean if I didn't notice it then it sure is noticeable now.

Their faces are nearly splitting with the huge grins they have plastered to their faces as they share every memory they can think of at every landmark we pass.

Right now they are reminiscing about their first date at this restaurant we passed 15 minutes ago. Arguing about what happened when my dad came to pick mom up.

"So he goes, trying to be a gentlemen, to get the car in the rain while I wait under the platform." My mom starts with the story I have heard many times before. But I will never get tired of hearing their stories. I look over at my dad who has this smug look on his face.

"See I was such a gentlemen." He says proudly.

"I want to know what happened." She mutters while smirking, obviously teasing. However I am seriously wondering, what happened? Here is this man I call dad who has trapped me in my covers after farting in them while I sleep. So I have to SUFFER! And he claims to have been a gentleman.

"Hey!" My father tries to defend his honor.

"So, " my mom interrupts my rant. "he pulls up not noticing the huge puddle that formed by the curb and duck tails me!"

I pretend to be shocked knowing how much they love to tell me stories of them in the past. No matter how differently they remember the events, even if they did happen like 20 years ago.

"-panicked, looking like I have three heads, not even offering help." I catch my mom mid-sentence and she is barely holding in her giggles.

Yes my mom still giggles at my father. I know, I know adorable!

"So I take the liberty to get into car still drenched with puddle water. Once he gets in the car he looks over at me no longer appalled with himself and says and I quote 'You could always take off your dress if it's too wet.' "

"I didn't not say that sweetheart!" He tries to clear it up to me but all I do is laugh.

My father pouts the rest of the way to our new home while my mom holds his hand comfortingly, still smiling from her story.

It feels so weird to "talk" to people that may or may not be reading, but I shall go on! I would LOVE some feedback! Um maybe some suggestions, what you like what you don't like. Even random stuff would be nice!

I think I will just proceed to add the chapters as I feel fit.

Have a good day and tomorrow is thanksgiving! So happy thanksgiving and thank you to the few who have read the little that I have uploaded. If you don't celebrate it than it's just another day for you, but I still give you my thanks!
