I Belong To You

chapter 15

"I'm on my way home, will be there in an hour. Darling I'm sorry I couldn't call you before hand"
I read my moms text with my eyes wide open.

"So you'll have to leave?" Damon was lying beside me on the couch.

It was such a great feeling to be so close to him.
His arms were around me , wrapping me like some toy.

"Yes" I kissed his forehead.

"When will you be back?" he rolled his eyes.

"Tomorrow maybe! Or perhaps next week?" I tried to tease him  .

And it really worked well.

He narrowed his eyes at me and gave me disgust look.

"Ok so you don't want me to return anytime soon? Fair enough! Next month?" I said and then  giggled watching him open his jaw.

"You can't do this to me!" He folded his arms making a pout.

""You're such a girl Damon!" I snapped still giggling.

"Never call me that. I repeat never." He held my both the hands very tightly in his.

He was staring me without a blink.

He took it to his heart I guess.

"Ok . Fine!" I whispered.

"Good!" He smiled and let go off my hands.

I moved to the bedroom though I had least things to keep but still I went to get all my stuff.

I went down with fast steps.

"When are you seriously gonna return?" He got up from the couch and came towards me .

He was still shirtless.

Too distracting for me.

"I need at least two days to spend with mom. I mean she needs me right now." I shook my head .

"Ok come I'll drop you" he said quickly.

"And you need to wear some shirt as well" I rolled my eyes at him making him blush.

"I know." He laughed seeing me intimidated by his abs.

*****

Mom was home already when I reached.
I hugged her since we were meeting after such a long time.
"How's grandma?" I asked her .

"She's doing well now. She wanted to meet you" she kissed my cheeks.

"Next time I'll definitely visit her." I gave her a very sweet smile.

"I've prepared us lunch. Go get fresh "

I quickly went to my room kept all my clothes and Damon's . I went down to have lunch since I was very hungry.

I sat myself on the different side of the  table opposite to my mom.
I got very excited seeing pancakes.

"Do you wanna talk Jen?" She said abruptly.

"Why.? I mean I don't understand you."I responded.

"Who was that guy Jen?" She finally came very clear to me.

"Umm..he's just a friend mom" I said.

I couldn't tell her.

Why?

I still don't know.

"Its alright if you need time but you can share whenever you want " she brushed the back of my hand with her palm.

I was such a bad daughter.

I never had been into a relationship hence I was thrown aback by the question.
I needed a lot of courage to tell her about Damon.

But I had to tell her.

After all she was my mom.

"He's my boyfriend " I whispered very lightly looking at my dish.

I bit my lips as the wave of lack in confidence rolled over me. I closed my eyes waiting for her to reply.

"What's his name? You're adult now Jen. No need to be shy!" She smiled.

That was really comforting let me tell you.

Adult?

"He's Damon. "I told her hiding my head.

"Were you living with him in these days?" She gave me a very blank look.

She can be very unpredictable sometimes.

God ! What was I supposed to say?

"Carol..no..umm yes ! Actually a lot happened since you left and I had to be with him. " I said in a hurry.

"Its fine to tell me! I'm your mom." She got worried.

"No! Its nothing like that actually I just need some time. Please forgive me about not telling you the truth in the first place . I was scared "

"No need to be ever scared from me" she bend over to give me a kiss on the forehead.

My cellphone beeped.

What a timing.

I looked at it but then I noticed that mom was there with me.

"Sure you can have it" she assured .

I picked up the call, it was carol.

"Hey carol" I said .

"Jen? I was wondering would you like to go shopping with me?" She spoke from the other side.

What a pickup line.

Really?

Shopping?

"Yeah ok "

"That means that you've forgiven me?" She chuckled.

"Yes you idiot! "I giggled

"I'll come in the morning to pick you up then"

"Fine. Umm..I need to go talk to you later"

"Bye"

I hung up.
