Chapter 13: "You're in love with Kyle"

      it's been over 2 weeks since that night I and Kyle almost kissed. Kyle and I never talked about that night, we just continued with our lives and pretended like nothing happened. It was the best for the both of us.

     Ever since that night, I've tried to distance myself from Kyle, but it feels the more I try to distance myself from Kyle, the more I get closer to him. And each time I remember that night, I find myself smiling like an idiot. I think a part of me wanted that kiss to happen.

   "Hello honey, can I come in?" My mum enters my room, snapping me out my thoughts.

"You're already in" I joke.
"Oh yeah" My mum chortles slightly, joining me on the bed.

        "Okay mum, what brought you to my room?"
"I wanted to check on you.  I didn't see you since I got back from work" My mum replies, but it seems she has another reason. She looks like she wants to talk to me about something.

     "Mum, do you want to talk to me about something?" I probe.
"Noo...maybe--"

     "Oh c'mon, Mum" I cut my mum off her statement "I know you want to talk to me about something".

  "Fine! Yes, I want to talk to you about something," My mum starts, sounding unsure if she should proceed, "Something has been on my mind for the past couple of weeks that i've been wanting to ask you.

"Its about your sudden change. What made you change?" My mum continues, courage suddenly evident in her voice. "What brought happiness back to your life?
Who did what i've been trying to do for the past couple of years? I tried all means as possible to bring a smile back to your face but I failed and suddenly overnight, you changed. Don't get me wrong Kendall, I'm really happy about your change, but i'm just curious to know what or who made you change"

  I sigh deeply.

"It's Kyle..." I tell my mum who Kyle is since she didn't who he was, I tell her how I became friends with him and how I forget all my sorrows whenever I'm with him. I also tell her how Kyle made me realize that I shouldn't depend on anyone for my happiness and that I should be happy and I shouldn't miss out on the best things of life because of someone. I also added that he has saved me a couple of times.

   My mum stays quiet and listen to everything I tell her and I found myself smiling as I talk about Kyle.

   "So Kyle is your boss that took you to New York and also the one you went out with 2 weeks ago?" My mum asks.

   I nod.

   "Awww, Kyle is such a darling" My mum says in awe "I would love to meet him".

"I can always invite him over if you me want" I blurt out, and I immediately wished that I didn't say that. I'm trying to distance myself from him and suggesting that Kyle should come to my house to meet my mum isn't the best option.

    Now I pray my mum doesn't agree to my suggestion.

    Please say no.  Please say no.

Too late.

   "Yeah. That's a great idea. You should invite Kyle over for dinner on Saturday night" My mum says enthusiastically.

   My mum seems really excited to meet Kyle, if I refuse she would be dissapointed.

    "Alright" I accept.

Maybe inviting Kyle over for dinner wouldn't be that bad.

••••••••••••••••••••
      The rest of the week goes by pretty fast. It's Saturday night- The night Kyle would be coming over for dinner. I already invited him for the dinner during week and not to my surprise he accepted without second thoughts. I told him he would be meeting my mum and he really seemed really excited  to do so.
