Chapter Forty.

Amy's Point of View:

     The last day of my mothers visit has come. I never thought I would be so excited for my mom to leave and I'm really not but I'm ready to try and resolve what's going on with Mark and I without my mom breathing down the back of my neck. I think more about the situation as I walk down the hall to my bedroom. "Mom" I knock lightly on the door trying not to disturb Kathryn, Knowing we can hear everything going on between our two rooms. When my mom opens the door she has a smile plastered on her face and when I look behind her I cringe at the site my room has become. "Good morning sweets" She pulls me in and closes the door behind me "I was just packing up. I have a noon flight I must catch" I nod and continue to look at the mounds of clothing she is apparently packing up. How many outfits did she need for a few day trip. "I think everyone is downstairs preparing breakfast" I shake the thought out of my head "Come down when you're ready" She gives me a small nod as I make my way to the door.

     About halfway through breakfast mom decided to come and join. Before that it was mainly me talking to Ethan and Kathryn while Mark sat and quietly ate his breakfast at the end of the table. "Ooh eggs and toast" She takes a break as she looks over the table "Amys favorite" Mark and my mom say at the same time. I look to my plate and Mark realizes what he's done. "Lucky guess" He shrugs his shoulders and continues to scoop eggs onto his fork. I see my mom look to me and then to Mark before shaking her head and walking to the counter "I sadly don't have enough time to sit and eat breakfast with you this morning" She grabs a banana of the hook in the corner "I better get going before I miss my flight" She makes her way down the hall and to the front door before we all stand and follow. "Let me get your bags Mrs. Nelson" Ethan passes her in the hall and picks up her bag, As promised. I've always loved how sweet and caring Ethan is but in this situation I wish he wasn't so sweet and caring. My mom turns and looks back at Kathryn and I before raising one shoulder and winking at me. We follow her out to her rental car and she pops the trunk for Ethan. "So sad I have to leave" We all stand on the edge of the grass and watch as she gets situated "I've had fun and I hope to see my Amy make a little boy progress next time I visit" She looks between Ethan and I which sets off a burn in the pit of my stomach. "He sure is cute and I would hate to see you miss out" The burn grows larger and I blur my surroundings. I can't imagine the look on the others faces right now. She continues to look to Ethan and I  "I mean I remember sleeping in a boys room" She looks to the ground and smiles "I was in high school but it was-" I don't let her finish and I am unsure if its the burn growing causing me to do this or Marks sad face in the back of my mind but I march to Mark, put one hand on the back of his head and connect my lips with his. It takes him a second to understand what happened but soon his hand goes to my waist and I feel him smile against me.

Super short chapter but I wanted to get something out there considering I've been MIA for a week. Thank you for letting me take a week to myself without any trouble and the constant love you've shown. A chapter will be posted tomorrow, Hopefully a longer one but please give me some slack as I get back into this. I hope you enjoyed this read.                                                      xxParks
