"You know, I take it back. You can kiss me all you like." I considered, Slate kissing me more intensely. I smiled before I looked up at the door starting open.
"Slate we're home."
I knew that voice, didn't I?
"Mom?" Slate asked getting up to sit next to me.
Shit. Amanda.

"Hi, Ms. Edwards." I greeted Slate looking at me then at his mom annoyed. I stood up from the couch lightly walking over the kitchen.
"Mom what are you doing back?'' He asked leaning against the wall resting his hand behind his head, I stood inches next to him.
"Your sister missed you and want to come home, so I brought her and Bailey home." Slate furrowed his eyes at her before walking to the door. I stood there uncomfortable. Amanda unpacking a bag, still not noticing my presence.
"Slate!" I heard a high pitch tone then saw a pale skinned girl hop into Slates arm, Slate grinning from ear to ear. The child's hair falling on Slates back and her arms wrapped around his neck, she looked up at him before he kissed her head.
I smile seeing the Bailey walk in coming over to me and sniffing me, her tongue out and I kneeled down Bailey beginning to lick my face.
"Damn Bailey leave room for dessert." Slate teased still carrying the same girl in his arms.
"Bella this is Layla, my little sister." He explained putting her down and she starred up at me.
"You're really pretty"
She giggled and I joined her, "thank you, aren't you just kind." I poked her nose and she giggled before running after Bailey out the door.
Amanda cleared her throat as she looked at Slate her eyebrow raised and her arm crossed as she leaned against the island. "Slate, would you like to introduce me?" Her tone sounded more annoyed then friendly as she gave me a friendly smile.
"Mom, this is my girlfriend Bella. Bella this is my mom." She put her hand out.
I shook it laughing, "We've met on more than one occasion." She commented cocking her head at Slate and glaring at him.
"But, please call me Amanda." She finished letting go of my hand and Slate looking nonchalant.
I stepped back crossing my feet and tapping it on the floor awkwardly. Slate not taking any notice, instead of putting his arms behind his head, and kissed his mom on the forehead and hugging her, "I missed you." He whispered and she hugged him back scoffing.
"Yeah...I bet you have..." Slate removed himself from her smirking, then grabbing my hand and taking me outside. She gave him a quick look before returning to sit at the island and looking at her phone.
