POV~ Rick
I still can't believe last night actually happened. I told the girl of my dreams that I love her and she said it back. Right now Allison and I are in my living room watching a movie. Her head is nestled into my chest and I have my arm wrapped around her back. I kiss the top of her head and she looks at me and smiles. Life can't get much better than this.
After the movie ends Ally sits up and looks into my eyes. "I want to know about your mother."
I'm shocked by her sudden demand. "W-What?"
She puts her hands around my neck. "I'm sorry if that came out of nowhere but its just that I've met your father before, but I never heard anything about your mom."
I take a deep breath. "Okay, but this is a hard topic for me so bear with me."
She kisses my nose "Of course, I understand."
"My mother died from breast cancer when I was fourteen." I began.
I looked over at Allison, she was listening intently. I gave her a sad smile.
She frowned. "Babe if it's too hard to talk about then you don't have too."
"No, no. I want you to know about my mom. She was a great woman. I wish you could meet her, she would have loved you." I tell her as I caress her cheek.
"Aww, I wish I could meet her too Babe." She beams from my statement. "So, tell me all about her."
"Okay follow me." I insisted as I lead her to my bedroom.
Once we sit on my bed I grab the photo of me and my mom off the nightstand. We were both wearing birthday hats and sitting in front of my birthday cake. I handed it to Allison.
"That is the last picture I took with my mom before she was diagnosed with cancer. This was my fourteenth birthday party. Two months later she was diagnosed and seven months after that she passed." I frown thinking about the horrible day when my mom died holding my hand.
Allison sees I'm upset and reaches for my hand. "Hey, it's okay. If you don't want to yo-"
"No, I'm gonna keep going," I say squeezing her hand.
"Every Sunday she would take my sister and me out for ice-cream. We would always sit at the same booth and talk about anything. It was my favorite day of the week." I smile at the peaceful memories that come rushing into my mind.
"And on my birthday, she would make me my favorite meal, chicken cutlet parmigiana. It always puts a smile on my face when my mom told me that we were having that for dinner." I say as all these memories I pushed aside come rushing back to me.
"That sounds great. Tell me more."
As I tell my girlfriend all about my mother she becomes more interested in every word. I love that she wants to know all about my mom, it's really sweet.
After I finish telling her every detail about my mom she looks at the picture that is still in her hand and smiles.
"She sounds like a really nice person."
I smile "Yeah, she was really great."
She hands me the photo. I kiss her head and look at the picture one last time before I put it back on the nightstand.
"You hungry?" I ask Allison.
"Very, how about pizza?" She recommends.
"That sounds perfect. Let's go."
******************
After dinner, I brought Allison back to her place
Once we get to the door she kisses me.
"I'm going to miss you." She breathes
"Me too baby. I love you." I say as I gently touch her cheek.
Her face lights up from my statement-making my heart jump.
"I love yo-" she gets interrupted by shouts on the other side of the door.
As we turn to listen I realize that it is two people, a woman who is probably her mother. The other voice is a male voice that I've never heard before.
As I turn to look at Allison I realize that the color has drained from her face. It looks like she was about to throw up.
I give her a concerned look.
"It's my father."
