Defining Love (Lesbian)

Chapter 1: Beginnings - Young Love

I saw ma on TV again, she's handling a big case. It was 17 years ago when she and mom divorced. She's in her mid 40's now, but she’s as cool as ever. I have no more contacts with mom, the last time I saw her is on TV a week after she packed her things and left us. She's leaving the movie industry and migrating to Europe with her love of her life, Uncle Drei. I hate them but ma always tell me, mom was still my mom and I should not hate her. She doesn't hate her, so why would i? I understand ma, she still loves mom. Well, she's dating and she's having a fling but not totally committed.

On the other hand, I, on my 25 years is still single, never had a boyfriend, and even a girlfriend. We'll actually I'm an exception; I want to live a heterosexual life. I'm looking for man rather than a woman but still it depends on a situation because sometimes I am attracted to a woman. I'm an executive director of a growing company and I just live next door to ma's house, just to say I'm independent or just to have a private place to live on.

My figure? An average type, not that slim or fat, I'm much more of a tomboy, I have black straight hair just about five inches below my neck which I always tie up just like an old school teacher. I don't usually see my skin pale, but it's kind of moderate white. My eyes, brown. I inherited ma's nose, which is kind of pointed fine. My lips are moderate red, an average size. Flat chested. About 5'8 in height. Total in all, an average citizen.

Ma always spoils my dates. She hates me when I'm dating men and took away all my prospective girlfriends. She even slept with one of my classmate back when I'm in college. How can I have a love life if she was like that? But i can't blame her, she's heartbroken.

We're both busy in our daily life but we manage to spend time together. Ma and I always spend the dinner together during Friday night, sometimes if we missed it, we go on an outing during Sundays.

One Friday evening, I went home late, but I manage to buy a chicken pie for ma as a bribe. As I park my car to the front yard, I saw ma waiting for me. "I'm sorry I'm late, there's a problem in the company" I apologize.

"It's okay, we've just finished cooking" she said

"We?" I ask with a long question. Who is "we"?  "Do you have a new girlfriend?" I asked.

"Nope, a friend of mine with his family." she said.

As we enter the house, there were three people sitting in the dining table. One of them was like my age. A handsome young man, a prospective boyfriend or a husband. I smiled when he looked at me.

"Everyone,  this is my daughter, Andy." ma announced. "And this is my friend, Frank, his wife Susan and their son, Gary" she said as she introduce them.

So the guy's name is Gary, I said to myself as I sat beside ma and in front of Gary.

As we were eating, conversations just flow at the table.

"So what do you do, Andy?" Frank asked

"I'm a director at Wellham Company" I answered

"No way, that's the leading programming company in the country today. Woah, I bow to you, at that age, you're already a director" Frank said, amazed. "You really done well raising this child" he added as he looked at ma.

"It’s in the blood" ma said.

"That's really nice" Susan said "Our Gary here is a professional photographer, he works at Midtone Magazine."
