do you remember...

'Can I get a glass of water before I go.' Amir suddenly asks.

I almost forgot he was in the room.

'Yeah sure, we're going down down now so go wait in the living room.'

'Thanks.' He says awkwardly and leaves to go down.

Jordy and I follow him shortly after, instead we go into the kitchen and get then some water.

Once I hand it to him we all just sit in awkwardly in silence when I hear my mum walk through the front door.

'Hi baby, is King here today.' I hear her yell with her heel clicking on her way towards us.

'Yeah.' I call out.

I see Jordy's face light up with genuine happiness like it does everything he's sees my mum in the mornings.

He gets up when she walks into the living room with her arms full of shopping bags.

'Hi Mama Shay,' he says with a wide smile leaning down to kiss her cheek as she does to his.

'Hiya King.' She says her smile widening even more. 'Oh you poor thing, you let her do your hair.'

'Shut up mum.' I laugh appearing behind Jordy giving my mum a kiss on the cheek too.

I stepped back into Jordy with his arm now over my shoulder.

'And this is?' My mums smile doesn't falls one bit.

I hear Jordy groaning besides me and I can tell he was still smoothed at Amir's presence.

'This is a friends from school we just did our history project, he was actually just leaving.' I try to politely quick him out.

I was still trying to be a bitch, just a bitch with class this time.

'I just brought cupcakes, stay for a while insist.' My mother says sweetly.

Ugh, why did she have to be so nice?

We were all sitting in the living room eating our cupcakes and drinking tea when I finally decide to break this awkward silence.

'I kinda want to go swimming.' They all look at me like I'm crazy.

'Honey it's half way through November. In London. It's freezing.' My mother says slowly as if she's trying to engrave the words into a baby's head.

'Jordy's pool has heating.' I say smugly looking up at him. He was sitting on my side with his left arm still on my shoulder.

'Just don't get sick, you go straight back into the house when you're finished.'

'Shall we go tomorrow, you could stay over tonight and then we could ride to your place in the morning.'

'Ride what exactly?' My mother interrupts our conversation.

'His motorbike, didn't you see it parked up front. He left it here in the morning and we walked to school.'

'You what I don't want to know anymore. King you are you staying over tonight or not?'

'Yeah I don't mind listening to your daughter snore all night.'

The two of them laugh as I give them defensive glares and Amir just stares at us in shock.

'Are you okay?' My mum says suddenly worried by Amir expression.

'Yeah, it's just your mums really cool Silver.' My mums the only one that laughs at this since she doesn't understand how uncomfortable him being here is for us.

The doorbell rings and my mum jumps up to get it.

'Don't worry it's just Saint.' She calls out.

'Wasn't worrying, it's not like the Russian Mafia's going to ring the fucking doorbell mum.' Jordy laughs and my mum tried to hide her smile and scold me for my language but it doesn't work.

'Hey Mama Shay.' I hear Saint say before he steps into the house.

'Hey Sainty.'

I was now finished my tea and so was Jordy, so we were sitting back in the couch with his arm around my shoulder and my knees brought up to my chin as I continued to eat my cupcake.

'What's the emergency.' Saint says more serious now.

'Oh nothing I just bought your favourite cupcakes and felt bad if you didn't get to eat any.' Their voices becoming louder as they walked into the living room.

I see Saint face drop when he sees Amir sitting with us.

'Oooh this is gonna be fun.' Jordy smirks at the scene that was probably about to be made.

'What the hell is he doing here!' Saint leaps towards Amir grabbing him by the collar and lifting him up from the couch.

'The hell is wrong with you man?' Amir says trying to push saint off him but failing.

'What the hell are you doing here.' Saint looked like he was so close to hitting him.

I turn to Jordy and ask him to do something. He sighs clearly enjoying what was unraveling in front of him. 'Okay calm the hell down Saint.'

'I swear on my lord and saviour Jesus, if one of you says hell one more time, I will bring someone one step closer to it.'

'Oh look we have a volunteer, ready to go to hell Amir because if she doesn't I will take you there myself.'

'Hold on,' my mum says and Saints grip loosens a bit. 'Did you just call him Amir.'

We all fall silent I have never seen my mother so angry.

'I'm going to give you five seconds to get out of my house before I fucking bring hell to your feet.' She said trying to remain calm.

'Mrs. Amor I just wanted to tell you I'm really-'

'GET OUT.' She finally loses it and Amir doesn't even think twice about it.

'Mom?' I say unsure of what to do and almost a bit scared of this side of her.

'King, take Silver upstairs please.' She doesn't look up at me.

Jordy took me upstairs and just as we were on the stairs I heard my mum break down into tears.

All I caught was 'that animal near my baby.' And Jordy shut the door to my room.

I went straight to my wardrobe and changed into cameo booty shorts and a black t-shirt with SA in fancy font written in cameo.

As soon as I came out I found Jordy already under the sheets in my bed, I didn't hesitate to go and join him just need the warmth that radiates from his body to mine to comfort me.

'Do you wanna watch another episode.' He says wrapping his arms around me.

'Can we just talk.' I say snuggling into him more.

'Okay, how are you feeling?'

'So fucking confused it hurts just to think about it.'

'Talk me through it, maybe I can help.' He pushes me back a bit to hold my face in his hand to look me in the eye.

He kissed the top of my nose and said, 'I can always help, so tell me.'
