Yours, Mine and Ours (H.S. / Interracial)

Chapter 17

"Two sets for twenty? Not bad at all" I smiled going through the different colors and looking for a medium. I looked over to Demi across from me looking through them but she didn't respond, or even smile like she usually does. I would say maybe it was because she was focused on looking but, this is how it's been since this morning.

Since my mother saw her this morning.

Let's not forget my mother's reaction... She did say hi, that we could reschedule to another day and left the food for us. That's was in the matter of about thirty to sixty second though and after, she was gone. I don't know what I was expecting her to say or how she would react but, I just took that. It could have been worse...

It was out there now... Nothing could change it so why dwell on it? Nothing was going to change us so all I could do is give them both time to digest this.

"Pick a color out for me" I smiled and she chuckled looking in my size and quickly picked up a red set in silence. Maybe she was upset because she was naked?

"Love red on you..." she whispered passing it to me putting on a fake smile making me frown. I wanted to hear a sexy comments or what she would do to me in them but, I got nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I sighed walking over to her "Demi, talk to me" I said touching her hand and she froze looking up to me confused as if I was losing it. "What?" "You're acting... I don't know , not Demi. Is it about this morning?" I asked and she looked back at the sets shrugging.

"I'm just wondering..." "About what?" I asked pushing the subject. I don't care if we were in public, I couldn't go another minute with her like this. I hated seeing her like this. She was always a cheery person, and this...

"I just don't understand how you're so calm about that. Your mom just saw me naked... and with Harry... She looked horrified" she whispered frowning as I nodded. "It was just because you were naked to be honest" I said trying to just calm her down. I sure it was her naked that surprised her more than us three.

She looked over to me looking skeptical "So you're not nervous at all about her seeing us three together?" I asked and I looked at her confused. "Why should I?" I asked and she looked around trying to think of what to say. She bit her bottom looking back up at me.

"That your family will be upset at this. You think they will be okay, especially the way she found out?" she asked and my heart hurt for her. I don't know how bad it would have been if her family walked in and I'm pretty sure she is thankful for it. That's probably why she's acting like this, she expected worse because that's how it would have been for her.

I shrugged "They have no choice but to because, i'm not stopping this. The way she found out wasn't the best but, I can't change it. I'm just going to give them time to grasp it. They were going to find out anyway so..." I shrugged and she nodded looking down.

I lifted her head and kissed her instantly trying to calm her down at least a little.

"Forget anyone who has a problem with this. It's not their life to live" I whispered and she smiled nodding but I could still see her uneasy about it all.

"Maybe... I should tell my family too" she whispered and I wasn't sure if she was ready or she wanted me to push her to do so. I wouldn't . Not when I knew she wasn't ready to. Just because mine knew didn't change it either.

"Do you want to?" "Kind of... Feel like i'm holding this important part of me in the dark. I hate feeling like I can't tell everyone about you" she whispered and it warmed my heart that she wanted to tell the world about us but, I didn't want that unless she was ready. A hundred percent ready.
