Fifty Shades In Love

Chapter 11

Angel's pov
I can't believe I just had a date with Teddy and I almost kissed him. There was this pull I can't explain but I know I really wanted to kiss him. I almost had a seizure when he asked about my dad whom no one has asked me about in a long time because they know that topic is a hard limit for me.

When I enter the dressing room to start work for the day I don't even remove my jacket before Maya my cousin pulls me to her side and screams.

"Ahhhhh. Hi cuz. Who was that hunk I just saw you with. Oh my God. He is so hot. I swear I could see it in his eyes he wanted to kiss you. OMG".

"Maya? How the hell did you even know I was with someone. And where did you even come from?"

"That doesn't matter. That guy is cute. What's his name? Where did you guys meet? Have you kissed him yet? Are you guys dating? I have a lot of questions!" I chuckle to myself, "of course you do".

Maya has been the closest cousin and best friend to me since we were kids. I don't know what I would do without her sometimes. But she talks a lot and I mean a lot.
" Maya calm down. I don't even know what answer to give you because I don't even know which question you are asking".

"Whatever. Who is he? Come on tell me pleease".
"His name is Teddy and we met some weeks ago. We are just friends. Stop been so excited".
She looks at me confused.
"Just friends? Angel you gotta move on how could you be with a dude like that and say you're just friends. Not every one is like Terrence plus this guy clearly likes you with the way he was looking at you. You're a really pretty girl. I don't know what you're deal is but you my friend have to move on and see the world and live in it".
I just look at her how could I even date someone I just met.
"Not everyone sees the world like you do Maya. You know I like to take things slow before I jump into them. Besides this is not because of Terrence, that happened a long time ago". Terrence is my ex boyfriend whom I dated a longtime ago and made me make wrong choices I don't want to get in right now.

"OK. I'm just saying. But please you have to let yourself loose sometimes not everything happens like it does in the past. Besides I really think you need a boyfriend who is going to appreciate you for who you are". I smile at my cousin like I said I don't know what I'd do without her sometimes.

"Ok Mom". We both giggle and hug each other. "Hey where'd you get you hair done. I'm loving the blond part. I want to get my curls out too. And maybe stretch my hair or something" ,I tell her.
"I went to Gary's. They are so good. I'll miss your curls when you stretch it. It looks too good on you", she smiles while pulling on one of the curls.
"Oh I know it does. I just want to look different. What has it been, two years?"
" Yep. Don't worry I'll take you", I hug her.
"Thank you. Hey have you seen my mom. I haven't heard from her or called her since morning",
"Yeah, she called earlier, she'll be here in the next five to ten minutes"
"Good. Cause we have a lot to talk about".
She mimicks me and we both leave the dressing room giggling.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Mom", I hug my mom immediately I see her step into the restaurant.
"Hey mija. How was your date?", I roll my eyes. "Mom it wasn't a date. It was just going out with a friend". She chuckles and kisses my hair. "If you say so. How was it?", "It was awesome. I haven't had that much fun in a long time..."
I continue telling her all about my day and she just puts her fist under her chin staring at me and smiling. I love my mom so much and I tell her practically everything. We are that close. I love seeing her smile when I talk to her cause at least I know she's happy. When I'm done she finally speaks.
" Well honey I'm glad you had a great day. Its been a long time I saw you this happy. This Teddy seems like a really nice guy. I hope he sees how nice you are , aand I would love to meet him". I smile at her. I'm clearly my mom's daughter cause I look so much like her. I have her brown eyes her nose but my dad's lips unlike my brother Max who has my dad's blues eyes black hair and he's also a mixture of both my parents. "Maya said I should give him a chance and loosen up cause apparently she was eavesdropping when we were together". My mom chuckles and says,"typical Maya" and as if on cue Maya comes out of the back room and places her arm around my mom's shoulders.
"Hi sweetie",my mom says to her.
"Hey Aunt. I think I gave her good advise what do you think." My mom nods and faces me.
"Well, I think Maya's right baby. You should loosen up a little. He clearly makes you happy".
" I know Mom. I just think I should you know take it slow with him. Besides we just met".
"I know honey. I think so too. But I want you to follow your heart and be happy".
"Fine mom. I think I'll get to work now. Ok Maya thats enough. Let's get to work".

My mom smiles at the two of us and heads to the backroom, but I know this conversation isn't over with her yet neither is it with Maya.
