Love Without Boundaries

Chapter Thirty-Five

 Chapter Thirty-Five

It was Thursday and Preston was still nervous about meeting Robert’s dad. He knew he was just worrying about nothing, but it was just in his nature to worry. Preston had been up since early this morning and couldn’t decide on what to wear. Robert had told him it was semi-casual, but everything he tried on was wrong. Preston sat down on his bed and grabbed a pillow to scream into. When he was done he looked around his room, it looked like it was hit by a tornado. His clothes were everywhere. He heard a knock at the door, “come in,” he said as he started to pick up his clothes off the floor. His mom walked into the room and stared at the mess Preston had on the floor.

            “What’s with all the clothes on the floor?” Erin asked

“I can’t decide on what to wear, I’m going to meet Robert’s dad today and I don’t know what to wear.” Preston said.

“Well did Robert tell you what you should wear?”

“Yes. It’s just that nothing I try on feels right. I want to make a good first impression; I just want him to like me.”

“Oh honey of course he is going to like you, who wouldn’t like you. Besides Robert wouldn’t take you there if he felt like his dad wouldn’t like you.” Preston knew his mom was right, Robert would never take him somewhere he knew they wouldn’t like him.

“Thanks mom your right.” Erin picked up a navy blue V-neck sweater and handed it to Preston along with a white t-shirt.

“Here try this on; the sweater will bring out the color of your eyes more.” Preston grabbed the sweater and let out a chuckle.

“What’s so funny?” Erin asked.

“This is the same sweater I was wearing the day I first met Robert. It’s funny that out of everything I own, you picked this out.”

“Well then you should take it as a sign that today is going to be good and you shouldn’t worry so much.”

“Ok mom thanks, I should really get ready. Robert will be here for me in about an hour.”

“Ok honey, by the way I made a triple chocolate cake for you to take. I know how it is Robert’s favorite.” Preston shut the door after his mom and went to go get ready.

“Nora are you ready, come on we are going to be late.” Robert said as he walked into her room. He found Nora laying on her bed trying to button up her pant. “You know they make pants with elastics on them, and then you wouldn’t be having this problem right now.” Nora groaned, grabbed a pillow and threw it at Robert. Robert ducked and laughed at her.

“It’s not funny Robert, none of my pants fit me and all my tops are starting to fit really tight at well.” Nora said and gave up on trying buttoning up her pants. Robert knew that this was going to happen, so he had gone shopping for some maternity clothes for her.
