I'm sitting on the couch texting Sarah waiting on Sean to come pick me up for school.

"Honey how do I look?" My mom walks into the living room with a white blouse on and black jeans. Her blond curls falling in the middle of her back.

"You look great but why are you dressed up?"

"I have to make a good impression on your rich boyfriend. He's probably use to more expensive clothes but these are the best I have."

"Mom he doesn't care about that."

"Still I just want to make a good impression."

There's a knock at the door and my mom is bouncing from foot to foot. "Mom just calm down."

I pull open the door and Sean stands on the other side of the door in a white dress shirt and tan pans. He's holding a bouquet of flowers and a bright smile on his face.

"Hey babe." He pulled me into a side hug and kissed my cheek. I move to the side giving him room to walk in. "You must be Sam's mom you look lovely."

I eye Sean and he just winks at me.

"I am it's so nice to finally meet you." She pulls Sean into a hug taking him off guard but it's not long until he's hugging her back. He places the flowers in her hands and my mom blushes.

"So I wanted to ask the two of you something." Sean smiles at me and my mom. I look at him waiting and when he doesn't continue I place my hand on my hip and look at him.

"Any day now Romeo."

He lets a laugh slip out and looks at my mom. "My parent's want to meet you, apparently my sister talks to them about you a lot and they want to know who has been spending so much time with me."

My mom's faces goes white and I quickly answer. "Um we'll talk about it after school I'm running late." I grab Sean's wrist and rush out of the apartment and down the stairs.

"Hey Sam can you slow down these pants weren't made to run in."

I slow down and we walk to his sports car.

"Really you just had to bring the best car."

"What can I say I like my lady riding in style."

I smile up at Sean and kiss him. "You're sweet but I like to fly under the radar."

"Well sorry babe but that's not my style when I'm trying to impress my girlfriends mom."

"Yea." He opens the door to my side of the car and closes it. I watch him as he runs to the other side praying he won't bring up what just happened.

"So why did your mom look so scared when I mentioned meeting my parents?"

But of course he would. "It's nothing."

He furrows his brows and looks at me and I avoid his gaze at all cost. "If it's nothing then why are you avoiding my eyes?"

"Because my mom isn't comfortable around other parents especially more privileged parents."

"Why is that?"

"We've had a bumpy relationship through out the years and she is scared other people might notice how screwed up of a job she did on me." I rub my temples and look out the window.

Sean places his hand on mine and I turn my head. He places his hand under my chin and looks into my eyes. "You're not screwed up and your mom did an amazing job with you."

My heart speeds up and our faces inch closer to each other until our lips are grazing each. He captures my lips with his and his fingers brush against my jaw line. The kiss deepens and he pulls me over the console placing me on his lap.
