"Proposition?" I questioned hesitantly as I sat down next to Finn.

I glanced at Jack and he gave me a reassuring nod.

"Yes, honey" Mom smiled warmly. "Finn and Jack talked to me about Wyatt and..."

She paused a moment and sighed. I reached across the table to grab her hand as I searched her eyes curiously.

"I've realized that I haven't been fair to Wyatt. Not only have I been treating him unfairly, but I've been distrusting of him and you, honey, and I'm sorry. Thank you, Finn and Jack, for talking with me. I'm sorry for being such an overprotective mom" she chuckled.

The rest of us laughed with her and she stroked my hand affectionately. I glanced at Wyatt and he grinned jovially, flashing the perfect dimples in his cheeks.

I grinned back at him before hugging my mother.

"Thank you" I whispered. "Thank you, Mom. I promise, Wyatt's a really good guy, if he wasn't, then me and Finn and Jack wouldn't be hanging around him"

"I know, sweetheart. And that's where the proposition comes in"

I raised an eyebrow curiously.

"Wyatt wants to take you to a movie" she explained.

"Oh, okay" I said happily.

"But!" she interjected. "I want Finn and Jack to go with you two. Just in case, okay? I don't want you getting hurt"

I sighed but smiled. I glanced at Finn, then Jack, then my eyes rested on Wyatt. He's so gorgeous. I smiled again and turned back to Mom.

"Alright" I agreed.

"Shake on it" she smirked playfully, and I shook her hand.

"You have my word" I said dramatically, and she kissed my cheek.

"Alright, you goofy boys, go have fun. But keep your phones on, okay?"

"Will do, Ma" I chuckled.

"We'll be going to the drive-in theater, if that's alright" Wyatt explained.

"That's fine! Is it close?" Mom asked.

"Yeah, only a few blocks from here actually, this town is set in the eighties, I swear" Wyatt laughed heartily.

The rest of us chuckled and made our way to the porch.

"Be careful, guys. Be safe. I love you" Mom kissed my cheek and I hugged her.

"We will" I assured her. "See you later, Mom"

We waved goodbye and started for the drive-in.

"So, Wyo, what're we seeing?" Jack queried.

"The Best of Me"
