Rebecca June (GxG)

Chapter 23

   After we got grandma Anna away from the neighbors dog and in the house, I introduced her to my lovely girlfriend.

   "Grandma Anna, Rebecca." I said, motioning to Rebecca, who stood tall next to me, a wide grin on her face.

   She stuck her arm out. "Nice to me-" But, my grandma cut her off, pulling her into a bear hug.

   "Oh, you're so beautiful. How did Skylar wind up with a such a hottie?" My grandma said.

   I rolled my eyes and Rebecca just giggled and returned the embrace.

   "I'm still trying to figure that one out myself." She replied.

   "Oh, come on, it's time for dinner." I said while walking towards the kitchen, my grandma and Rebecca snickering behind me.

   We all took our seats as my mom passed out food.

Rebecca and my grandma chatted away about god knows what and all I could do was stare, or rather gawk at my girlfriend. Her lips curved up in a happy smile, her eyes were bright and beautiful. She was perfect.

   'How did I get so lucky?' I thought.

   "Skylar!" I heard my moms voice cut through my thoughts.

   "Uh.. yeah what's up?" I replied.

   I heard Rebecca and my grandma chuckle, my face turned bright red.

   'How long was she calling my name?'

   "Can you pass the salt?" She replied.

   After dinner, we waved my grandma off and I got ready to drive Rebecca home.

We got in my car and I looked over at her.

   I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. My thoughts filled with that dream and what my grandma had said.

   "You ok?" Rebecca asked.

   I sighed internally. "Uh... yeah... did you have fun?"

   "Yes. Your grandma is hilarious."

   I rolled my eyes slightly. "At least someone thinks so."

   "I definitely expected worse."

   I chuckled. "Did you not see her barking at the neighbors dog?"

   Rebecca shrugged. "So, she's a little off, but she's still really cool."

   I laughed to myself as I pulled out of the driveway and made my way towards Rebecca's house.

The ride was pretty much silent until we were about halfway there.

   "You sure you're ok?"

   I took a quick glance at her. "Yeah, why?"

   "I don't know, you just seemed a little off today."

   I let out a low sigh. "It's just... I don't know... are you happy with me?"

   "Are you breaking up with me?"

   "No! No, god no... it's just what my grandma said earlier, about how did someone like you wind up with someone like me..."

   She chuckled. "Is that what this is about? Skylar, I love you and no weird grandma or crazy classmates are gonna change that. I agreed to this relationship because you're an amazing person. We might have gotten off to a rocky start, but now I couldn't be happier."

   I smiled to myself. "Really?"

   "Duh. Every time I get to see you or hear from you my heart flutters. I've had a few boyfriends in my day, but none of them made me feel the way you do. I don't ever wanna lose that feeling... So, you're stuck with me."
