Moving Love

Chapter 7

Everyone was so nice and kind to me, but I still can't get over the first expression Mrs.Nyguen had of me. Was it my outfit? Did I over do it? Chris didn't notice or say anything, or maybe this was how she treated all the girls he brought home. Well I'm going to show her I'm different and not like those other girls.

" Hi my name is Jess " - Jess

" ...Hello, I'm Chris's mother Alice. Please call me Mrs.Nyguen " - Alice

" Its very nice to meet you, you have a lovely home! "

" Thank you, how do you know Chris? "

" Uh - she's a special friend of mine, who I have become close to recently " - Chris

...huh? I guess even though he hasn't asked me out yet, I'm not his girlfriend? So why does my heart ache a little hearing him just call me a friend.

" Yea, we both go to the same school and are in the same grade " - Jess

" Okay, that's nice. " - Alice

I could still sense a cold shoulder from Chris's mom, but I'm not going to let that stop me from leaving a good impression!!

The food was ready and we were all set at the table. I sat between Chris and is grandma, it was a round table but next from grandma was Chris grandpa, dad then mom. There was so much food and I couldn't believe it was just for us 6. It looks like they made it for a party. We said grace and dived right in. It was silent for a moment then Chris's dad started asking questions...

" How long have you known our boy Chris? " - Mr.Nyguen

" I've known him since new year, when I ran into him at his job. Buying snacks for a get together with my friends. " - Jess

" Oh! Okay and your in the same year as him correct? " - Mr.Nyguen

" Yes, sir. " - Jess

Then his mom made a grunt/sigh thing...I don't know what her deal is...I don't think I said anything wrong.

" ~~I liked Amanda better~~ " - Mrs.Nyguen whispered.

She had said it under her breath, but everyone kinda stopped and looked. That was all I needed to her to know that she was not going to like me so easily.

I had excused me to the restroom, and I sat there thinking what am I going to do? The mother of the I guy I like doesn't like me...

I text my friends right away ( we have a group chat ) I tell them what Chris's mom said and how we met. The first person to text back was Ty, him being a guy even though he's gay, was able to give me the best advice.

" That's rough! I think you should ask Chris about it, not NOW! Obviously...what the deal is between his mom and Amanda. " - Ty

" ...I'm scared I don't want to make him think I have something against his mom " - Jess

" You can't be, plus there's nothing to worry about! No question is a dumb question! " - Alyssa

" Yea, also wait and see if he says anything and then if he doesn't then say something. " - Tyra

" True, because you don't want to start anything. " - Nina

" ^^ " - Kayla

" Okay thanks guys!! " - Jess

So I walked back to the table and I could see Chris talking to his mom in the living room. I sat back at the table with his grandparents and his dad.

" ...So do you like the food? " - Papa

" Yea, it's great! Thank you for having me! " - Jess

" No thank you for coming, your really nice and seem like a great friend. " - Mr.Nyguen

Then Chris came back to the table with his mom and I could just sense the tension. I could tell that me being here isn't a good time. So I texted Ty to call me to get me out of here.

*ring**ring*

" Hello ~~ WHAT! ~~ Okay I'm coming just hold on don't move until I get there!!! "

I don't know how good my acting was, but it was good enough to where everyone looked at me and had wide eyes. I looked at Chris and told him something major happened and that I needed to go right away. He drove me there so he had to take me home, it was a good time to talk to him.

There was silence for awhile so I just decided to bring it up.

"...so it was really nice, I had a great time everyone was so kind. "

" I'm really sorry... "

" It's okay, there's no harm done. "

" The reason, is because she got really close to Amanda...even though I told her I didn't really like her, she made me form a relationship with her. It wasn't real, I felt like it was set up by my mom. Even my dad didn't like her but since my mom did he did. My mom kinda ended even acting like her...example was earlier. I'm glad it's over now though, and I'm never going back."

" I see, I guess I'll just have to try hard to make her know I'm a good person. "

We pulled up to my house and I got out and so did he.

" Again I'm so sorry " Then he hugged me

" It really is okay! Trust me I'm fine "

We hugged and then he kissed me on the cheek and left. I wasn't expecting the kiss but I have too many things on my mind from earlier.

I said it didn't hurt...but I like him so much that I don't want anything to happen, that could mess up what we might have going. I don't know what to do.
