His Rebound

Chapter 10

"We are on our way ;)"

I read Sebastian's message again and again as nervousness finally starting taking it worse form in me. I was pacing here and there in my room taping my phone on my forehead. I was so occupied that I didn't hear a knock on my door until Ken entered.

"They are on their way." He declared and I turned around to look at him.

"I know." I said feebly and sat on my bed.

"Are you okay?" Ken asked and his voice sounded concerned.

"Am I looking okay? Am I overdressed?" I asked him nervously twirling around for him to see.

"I texted Sebastian asking what should I wear in the morning but he said anything and I don't know what anything meant and I am so...." I rambled and Ken's chuckle interrupted me.

"Always the rambling one." He muttered incoherently.

"What?"

"Don't be Kati- I mean Katherine. They are nice people. And no you are not overdressed. You look good in fact." I looked up at him and bit my lower lip.

"I am sorry. I am just nervous." I admitted and he gave a smile. A wide smile which looked genuine.

"You don't have to worry about anything. We have everything taken care of. Just relax and make sure you don't freak out in front of his parents." He said and I nodded.

"I'll go. They must be here at any moment." He said and left. I quickly applied a little more lipstick as it had started fading away. I was waiting for them, and not even 10 minutes later Elizabeth came to the room and informed their arrival.

Taking in a deep breathe, I put on a smile and walked out of my room. I walked down the stairs and I could hear their voices getting louder. I was on the last stair when Ken appeared in front of me with a wide smile.

"Come." He took my hand in his and led me to our living room. I was walking behind him intentionally taking small strides.

"Here she is." I heard Sebastian's voice and I looked up. He was walking towards us smiling widely. He took my hand from Ken's and scooting me closer to himself, he kissed me on my lips making my eyes go wide. This was not the part he told me to prepare myself for. We didn't even talk about this. Suddenly I heard chuckles from behind us.

"I told you Mum she is a bit shy." Sebastian said grinning and at that moment, I realized how wide my eyeballs were.

"Aww...she is so beautiful." I heard his mother and I tore my gazes away from him to see a very beautiful lady, probably in her late forties or early fifties. It was so hard to guess her age from her flawless skin. She was wearing a dress too and her hair was neatly done in a bun. Looking in her eyes, I found out where Sebastian got his blue eyes. Her makeup was just perfectly done and when she walked towards us in those heels, my heart stopped beating from nervousness.

"Never thought my boy would be so lucky." She added and cupped my cheeks giving me a wide smile. And then she did something I wasn't expecting her to do and that was to hug me. It took me a moment to cope up and hug her back.

"Thank you Mrs Walter." I said and she hushed.

"Don't call me Mrs Walter. It's Anna and soon you have to practice calling me Mum just like Seth." She said and my stomach churned. I had never called anyone 'Mum' in my life. The feeling of that word was so strange on my lips. I bit my lips and merely nodded not wanting to upset her but I seriously don't know whether I'll be able to call her mommy or not.
