Toni's POV

Cheryl's house was exactly as i imagined it, red and classy. Each and every wall was painted a deep red color, matched with black and red velvet furniture, not to mention that her house was about thirty times the size of my trailer. The smell of cherries and maple leaves lingered in every room and there was a chandelier every 2 meters.

As i glanced over at Cheryl, i could tell that she nervous, and to be honest, so was I, i had never met her mother except for that one time at the hospital when she came to see Cheryl which gave me a small idea of what she was capable of. I felt pretty uncomfortable considering the fact that i was about to tell her that i was dating her daughter but i knew that this was what Cheryl wanted and whatever was important to Cheryl was important to me

"So where is she?"

I said as i broke the almost scary silence that was floating around in the whole house and as i looked over at her, i could see her body tense up at the sound of my voice

"Um...I think that she might be upstairs in her room, should i go alone or do you-"

I stopped her right there because i already knew my response

"I'm coming with you Cheryl, if we're going to tell your mother then we're going to do it properly, that means together"

I saw her grin with content as i spoke and she put her arm out for me to take, i eagerly grabbed it and we both started walking up the stairs, step by step. I could feel her hand shaking which gave me an idea of how stressed out she was about this, it made me realize how important this whole thing was, how important i was, to her.

"Cheryl wait"

I stopped her and held her hand even harder

"Cheryl, babe, before we do this i need you to know that...i-i've never had a family, i've been alone my whole life, i mean the closest i've ever been to somebody is considering Sweets and Fangs as my brothers but that's it. The serpents became my family but i never really felt at home with them, and then i met you. Cheryl you are the most important person in my life and i need you to know that, i need you to know that you are worth the world and that whatever happens in that room, i'll be there for you. What your mother says about you doesn't define you, it defines her and if she even dares to touch you i swear i will hurt her like she's never been hurt before. I love you Cheryl and i never want you to forget that, ok?"

I squeezed her hand even more and slowly leaned in for a kiss, at first it was slow and passionate but quickly enough, it turned into one of the most heated kisses we'd ever had, i could feel her lips move in sync with mine and her hands grab my waist. I could feel her hands move closer and closer to the rim of my shirt and i almost forgot that we were in the middle of the staircase at her house, the moment became so heated that i was starting to-

"CHERYL MARJORIE BLOSSOM WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING"

I quickly jumped up and pulled away from the kiss, as i turned around i was praying that it wasn't who i thought it was, sadly I guess that i didn't pray hard enough because sure enough, there she was.

Penelope Blossom. In all her glory. She had hair even redder than Cheryl's which i didn't even know was possible, she was thin and tall and pale white, her fingers were bony and her face was so small, as i saw her standing on top of the staircase a million thoughts were running through my mind but the biggest one was Cheryl.
