*Emily's POV.*

"He should be over soon." I told my mum smiling. She smiles back.

"I'm very excited to meet this boyfriend of yours. Will I approve of him?" The door bell rang when she finished her sentence.

"Well," I say walking to the door, "Lets see." I open the door to my one and only boyfriend.

"Hey babe." He says smiling.

"Hi." I say back and kiss him, kind is forgetting my mum is here.

"Eh hum." My mother clears her throat. We both pull away, embarrassed.

"Uh, right." I say leading Marvel into my house, over to my mum. "Mum, this is Marcel. Marcel, this is my mum." I say gesturing in between them.

"Well it's very nice to meet you Marcel." My mother says shaking his hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you ma'am." Marcel answering giving her a small smile.

"Well um mum," I say looking at her, "Not to be rude or anything but, what are you doing home? Aren't you supposed to be in Africa?" She had left just before school started for Africa. Business trip of course.

"Yes I am. Your father is there too."

"Yes I know." They always go on business trips together.

"Well he is taking over for a while, while I came to get the stuff we need because we are staying there for a few extra months." She says looking at me with 'Sorry' written on her face.

"It's ok mum. I still love you a lottle." I say and we both hug and laugh.

"What's a lottle?" Marcel asks laughing.

"It's like a little..." I start in a little kid voice, "But a LOT!" I say bringing him into the hug too. We all laugh and part after a minute.

"So, Marcel, will you join us for dinner?" My mother asks him.

"It would be my pleasure." He says smiling and nodding.

"Well we actually still have to MAKE the dinner so..." I add.

"You all go sit in the living rooms and I'll whip something up." She says smiling. Marcel and I walk to the living room and both plop onto the couch. He wraps his arm around me so I snuggle into him.

"Your mum seems nice." He says.

"Yeah, she is. She seems to like you which is good because she hasn't really liked my last 2 boyfriends..." I said trailing off.

"Well I'm here now and I'm 99.9% sure she likes me. That's a pretty good percentage." He says and we both laugh. We turn on FRIENDS and watch. He kisses my forehead and we continue watching. It's the episode where Chandler and Monica get married. My all time FAVORITE episode! We are laughing and quoting the episode whilst my mum cooks.

"You may kiss the bride." He says and looks down at me. We both lean in and kiss each other. We stay like that for a while.

"Eh hum." My mother clears her throat. We both pull away and I blush a bit. Marcel doesn't look like its that big of a deal.

"I don't mind kissing you in front of your mum." Marcel whispers in my ear while we walk to the kitchen. My mum had told us dinner is ready. We walk to the kitchen and see spaghetti. Yum! We both get some and sit at the table next to each other with my mum across from me.

"So, Marcel, what are you doing? Do you have a job?" My mum asks.

"Actually yes. I'm saving up for college. I work on Wednesday and Monday at the ice skating rink downtown." He says.

"Where do you plan on going to college? What do you want to be?" She questions more.

"Mum." I say meaning 'Back off'

"No, it's fine Em. I don't know exactly where I want to go but I want to be a market sakes man." He says holding my hand under the table for reassurance.

"That's an... interesting job." My mum adds with a weird look.

"Well I think working with celebrities and helping them with fashion and style will be cool." He nods. We eat in silence until the food is gone.

"So, Marcel, what do you do in your free time?" Mum questions.

"I like to work on computer editing. Like making designs for clothes and different accessories." He said. This boy is the only one I've ever heard of being interested in this stuff. I think it's pretty awesome.

"Well, this might sound a bit weird but..." My mum starts. She sounds kind of weird. Almost... angry? "Are you SURE you aren't gay?" I'm FLABBERGASTED.

"MOTHER!" I scream at her standing up from the table. "You are NOT going to just waltz in here one day and call my BOYFRIEND GAY!"

"Marcel. Out. Now. I never want to see you with my daughter again. Clear?" She asks with a smug grin on her face.

"Yes ma'am." He says shocked. I thought she liked him! What did he do wrong!?

"No, Marcel, NO!" I scream trying to get him to stay but he's already out the door and in his car. I start to cry and he pulls out the driveway. I love that boy, and now he's gone.

"What did he do wrong!" I yell t my mum.

"He sounds gay and I don't like it. You need to date and marry a rich man because we both know you won't go ANYWHERE in your life." She says calmly. What is WRONG with her!? "You will never see him again. I am staying home to make sure. Clear?"

"Yes mum." I say knowing I won't win this battle. I think my heart just... died.
