What's Three Years? | Reyton

The talk.

I woke up the next morning missing the guy who slept next to me the night before, in a totally innocent way. As I let out a loud hough as I stretched rubbing my eyes as I stumbled out if bed and down stairs to see my mom and dad sat across from each other in the kitchen. I've not seen my dad it like 2 weeks since he had to work away from home.

"Hey, guys what's up?"

My mom knitted her hands together as she and my dad both looked up to me I could almost feel the tension in the room, thick enough you could cut it with a knife.

"Rowan honey can you please take a seat?" my mom now placing her hands under the table still knitted together tightly. What was so important they needed to tell me at 7:05 in the morning.

"Okay..." I walked over pulling out a chair for myself to sit down.

"Soo...what's this about?"

"Rowan, your at an age now where you can make your own decisions, and your going out with an older boys which is fine and me and your father both like him..." I looked over at my dad who was just rapidly nodding his head.

"And with dating an older guy he might want things, things you may or may not be ready for and Rowan we just wanna tell you that it's okay to say no..."

I could feel my face screwed up and hands tied up in fists, what where they implying, that Peyton would make me sleep with him.

"No mom your wrong, I know what your trying to say but I just wanna say that if looses my virginity before I'm 18 and if I do looses it to Peyton it will be because I'm ready, because I feel mature enough, because I can handle with the consequences! NOT because he's made me!"

"Okay honey where just saying!"

"No mom your implying he's a sexed crazed man hore who just wants sex, he knows I'll say if I want to. If and when I'm ready I'm not gonna have you or dad make me feel guilty for it!"
As I got yo from the table unable to control my anger, all I could see was red and it wasn't pretty.

"Rowan where are you going?" my dad called the first time I've Herd him speak this hole conversation.

"To get ready for work to see my boyfriend and if you don't mind I'm gonna go round his after work if you trust him?!"

"Row, it's not that we don't trust him we just want you to feel ready."

"He knows I'll tell him.it might be tomorrow, it might be next week it could be months or I might not even be with him just let me make my own mistakes and my own stupid decisions!"

"Okay Row we trust you!"

"Thank you!"

I stormed off into my bedroom passing Carmen on my way up giving her the evil eye as I walked into my room. Taking a quick shower before styling my hair and throwing on a pair of high waisted skinny jeans with Peyton's hoodie grabbing my bag and running out the door to meet my mom in the car.
The 30 minute car ride felt like a life time. 20 minutes in my mom finally decided to break the silence.

"You do know if you wanna sleep with him you can, I wouldn't be angry."

"Okay..."

"Okay, your just gonna say okay? Row do you feel ready?"

"I dunno mom, I think I mean he's the right person to loose it with he's loving, caring, sweet, I just wanna wait for the right moment, you know?"

"I understand, just do what you think feels right."

"Thanks mom." I gave my mom a quick hug before hopping out of the car and running into work to meet up with Pey and have a day full of laughter and piggyback rides.
