Twisted Destiny

Chapter 5❤

◾▪Jeremy▪◾

So the time has finally come when I have to officially sit and have a proper conversation with my "mom's boyfriend". The three of us are sitting in the living room hoping for a conversation to take place but the tension in the air is very much obvious.

"So Jeremy what would you like to know about Mike?" My mom asked cheerfully. I'm like mom why are you doing this to yourself?

"Ren could you please leave Jeremy and I alone for a few minutes?" Mike requested.

"Okay." My mom said, worry etched on her face, hesitate moving towards the door.

"Oh and please try not to eavesdrop on us." Mike said smirking.

"You know I won't." My mom replied, chuckling and left, closing the door behind her. You could see the relief in her eyes that we were going to talk alone and also the belief in Mike that whatever he would say would be right.

I was sitting here and thinking that what should I ask Mike. I didn't have anything in particular. I just want to know that he loves mom truly and won't break her heart. I can't see my mom with a broken heart again. I just want to know that he would keep mom happy which that fucking sperm donor failed to do.

Ughh...it's so difficult to ask questions to your mom's boyfriend. I don't even know from where to start. There should be a book written for these kind of things like "50 Questions You Should Ask Your Mom's Boyfriend" or something like that.

"Jeremy?" Mike called out.

"Huh?" Was all I could think of as he broke me from my mental debate.

"Listen I know you don't know me yet and you probably think that its just lust cause you sort of always seem to catch us on that kind of moment but I want to tell you that I love your mom too much to lose her. I know you are the most important person in her life and to be honest, I understand that. Even I have two kids and I wouldn't be able to cope if anything happens to them. I also understand the fact that your choices are always gonna be above hers. She won't be with me if you don't want it. So I would do anything to prove to you that I am worthy of her and you. I know what your dad did to her and you after...... and I understand if you want some time to get this all through." He said with determination, to prove himself, and love and respect for my mom and her choices present in his eyes.

Now, how do you say anything after that. He literally left me speechless. I can see how much he loves mom and I can clearly see that it is reciprocated by mom too.

But I won't say yes just now. I want to make sure that he truly is what he is saying. But how am I supposed to do that. Looks to me like only time will tell.

God, where is Reuben when you need him the most?! Oh right that little bitch ditched me to go on a date with some tinder guy I think.

If he were here he would know exactly what to say to Mike or maybe help me say or decide what to say to Mike.

What should I ask of him for him to prove to me that he truly deserves mom. This much thinking is turning me more crazy than I already am. Mom what have you gotten me into?!

I look towards Mike waiting patiently for me to say something. Now that I have properly looked at him I don't think he could anything wrong.

"I don't know what to say Michael. This a new territory for me as much as it is for you I think." Now that I think of it, it must be so awkward for him to ask for his girlfriend's son for permission to marry her. Or maybe not because of the determined mind.
