How could you? - Ch9

  "Don't do that"

"Why not? You said I couldn't do it the house, we are not in the house now"

"I don't care, I don't like it."

"Fine"

Reiner takes from his mouth the still not lighted cigarette and puts it back in his pocket.

We are walking the few blocks from our house to his mother's house. Luckily the weather is still warm and nice, even at night.

Arriving at the front door I look at Reiner. He is wearing khaki pants, a white shirt, brown boots and his uniform jacket, of course with the armband on it.
He has lost some weight since we are here in Liberio. His blond hair is a bit longer, and he has grown a short goatee. If you ask me, he looks even hotter than before.

Me on the other hand... I'm wearing a long gray buttoned skirt, with a light pink shirt and black boots. I also have to wear a scarf on my head. It's something that many of the Eldian women that live in the camp do, and Reiner insisted in my doing it al least this one time. What a mama's boy...

"You look beautiful" He says looking at me, is like he has read my mind and wants to raise my confidence.

"I look like a granny" I answer with a grin.

"A hot granny" He smirks.

I'm about to say something, but he knocks on the door. I let out a nervous sigh, preparing myself for what's coming. I think I'm starting to sweat.

Karina Braun open the door. She is a short woman, in her middle age. She has medium short light hair and big eyes.

She looks at me first, just for a second, but I can read the mistrust in her eyes. Then she turns her attention to Reiner, and her eyes change to ones full of love and care.

"Reiner! How are you? You look good! I was afraid you weren't coming" She pulls him in for a hug.

"Sorry Mom, we didn't know we were late... This is (Name)" He pulls away and points at me.

"Good evening Ms Braun, nice to meet you. I didn't know what to bring you and Reiner said that you like flowers so... here you go" I try to give her my best smile and hand her a small daisies' bouquet.

"Oh, right, yes, hello, Thank you... Came in" She babbles taking the flowers and barely looking at me before moving to let us in.

"Tell me that there is alcohol in here" I whisper to Reiner. He looks at me and smiles... he thinks I'm kidding...

Ms Braun's house is similar to ours, the difference is that her house has two bedrooms. She doesn't bother showing us around. Of curse Reiner already knows the house and I'm not that important to have "a tour". I really do not mind anyway, Just want to get this over with as soon as possible.

Karina leads us straight to the dining room. The table is already set. We sit down, and she disappears into the kitchen, bringing back a tray with some kind of pasta.

"So, you are from that island... how did you meet my son?" She asks me while serving the food on the plates.

"Yes, I am. And we met during training, when we joined the Military and then the Survey corps"

"You are a soldier?" She asks confused

"Yes Ma'am, I am"

"I didn't know that. And the government let you stay here anyway?"

"Mom, you know we can't discuss what happened there, and those goes for (Name) too." Reiner intervenes.

"I forgot, sorry" she glances at me.
