Blue

Birthday Girl Part 2

Blue's POV

          My tattoo hurts like a bitch. Harry said it wasn't that bad but he's gotten alot more tattoos then I have. This is my first tattoo ever and I can't deal with the pain. It's not even a big tattoo its a fucking quote and I'm being a pussy. I decided to get it just above my right hipbone so maybe that's why it hurts so badly. Daniel put a bandage on it since it was bleeding and told me to keep it on for about 24 hours.
            I still can't believe I got a fucking tattoo! If my parents ever found out, they'd kill me. But I am 18 now so I can do whatever I want. My parents expect me to be there perfect, pure daughter, but that is definitely not the case at all.
          Now I'm sitting at the dinner table, having birthday dinner with my family. I wanted to go out, but my mom insisted that she cook. The dinner is super good so I'm not complaining. " Everyone enjoying dinner?" My mom speaks. We all nod with stuffed faces and Ivy giggles a little.
            " Good, I spent all day cooking, just for our little girl." My mom looks over at me and blows a kiss. I smile in response and cut into my steak. "Blue, can you pass me the salt?" My brother looks up at me from his plate. I grab the salt and hand it to him.
             " Mom, I still need to get my physical for soccer this summer." My mom wipes her mouth with a napkin and nods. " Yes Ivy, we will get it tomorrow morning." I wish I was athletic like my siblings. My sister is the best soccer player at school and my brother used to play basketball. I can't even run for 30 seconds without wanting to kill myself.
             My sister has beautiful green eyes that always have a sparkle to them. She has long brown hair, unlike my black locs, and pink lips. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, and I'm super jealous of her. She's smart, pretty, athletic and funny, any guy would be lucky to have her.
             Ivy looks up and smiles at me and I smile back. " You get any gifts from anyone today?" My father asks. My mind wanders to the gift bag Harry gave me today, but I decide to keep that to myself. " No, Sophia said she would give me my gift tomorrow." My dad nods at my answer, but of course its not enough.
            " So no gifts from any other friends? Guy friends maybe?" I roll my eyes and groan. My dad is super overprotective and he annoys me so much when it comes to guys. He doesn't let me date for some reason but he still teases me about guys. I can feel my face turn red and I look down at my plate to mask my face.
            " Nope." I simply answer, trying to steer the conversation away from the topic. No way can my family find out about Harry, they already don't like him. " Really, no secret boyfriend you want to tell us about?" My dad half joking and half serious. I continue to nibble on my steak and I'm relieved when my mom starts talking about the election with my dad. Thank god.
            The rest of the dinner is spent with us all talking about different stuff. College, Basketball and politics, all boring topics for me. Me and Ivy zoned out when they started talking about Basketball. My brother goes to Boston University on a basketball scholarship. He's studying to be a vet. Everyone in my family is a doctor, besides my parents. My mom's a real estate agent and my dad's a lobbyist.
             I'm the last one to leave the table since I ate the most, and my brother and sister cleared the table. I walk to the kitchen to put my plate in the sink and find my mom washing dishes. I look at the time on the oven and see its 7pm. I have to meet up with Harry in 30 minutes. My mom grabs my plate from me and I decide to help her with the dishes.
            " Its your birthday, go have some fun." I ignore her statement and continue to dry the dishes. She sighs.
" Blue, I'm very proud for having you as a daughter you know that?" I half smile as I wash a plate with a dry dish towel. Its silent for the majority of the time I'm drying dishes and she's washing them. I look at the clock to see its 10:15.
            " Blue, can I ask you something?" My mom breaks the silence. " Sure mom, what is it?" She takes a deep breath. " You and that Harry boy," My stomach drops at his name. How the hell did she find out? " You guys date don't you?" I freeze at her words. Oh shit am I in trouble. My dad is going to kill me and then kill Harry. Oh my god, what if they find out about the tattoo? Do I lie or tell the truth? I might as well tell the truth since she's already on to me. I sigh and nod. "Yes, yes we do."
             My mom nods but doesn't say anything. Why isn't she saying anything? " I'm not at all mad or disappointed in you. Your young and its natural for you to be attracted to boys. Your the happiest I've seen you in years because of that boy. I won't tell your father." I'm shocked at my mom's words. She's actually keeping this thing from my dad for me?
            " Really?" I ask, shocked. She nods. " Yes, I was once in your position. I will keep this between just us two." My mom hugs me and I hug her back tightly. " Just give me the look when you need me to cover for you." I nod and smile. Wow, I wouldn't think this day could get any better. " Now, go see him, its your birthday." She kisses me on the cheek and I hug her tightly again. I grab my jacket and keys and quickly put on my shoes in excitement.
             " And Blue." I hear my mom call from the kitchen. " Yes?" I stop moving to hear her clearly. " Be careful." I smile. " I will."
