An Olive Green Sweater

Congratulations!!!

"We need to talk to you kids..."
That statement made me choke upon my own tongue. What on earth are they having in mind? Are they thinking we_______? Eww!!! Ok so calm down Jessie.Just calm down. Ms.Maria said, "So-"
"Well...Good evening Ms.Maria. Umm...Chris and I went to a stroll on the bridge and grabbed ice cream on the way back and we climbed through the window as we thought no one was there at home and I didn't have the keys....right Chris?"
Chris has his hands folded and he looked at his shoes and looked like he was deeply into thought. I guess he didn't hear that so I gave him a nudge and he looked like he was woken up and said, "No...no!"
WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS FELLOW HAVING IN MIND?! I took so much time to cover up and he says no?! I said, "Don't tell me you forget already-we walked on the bridge, bought ice cream..."
I told this with a look on my face that spoke out a million words for me saying that he would have a black eye if he would mess this up. So he said, "Oh...ok. Ya we went to the bridge and had vanilla ice cream".
Our mothers started to exchange glances and Ms.Maria said, "Come down both of you. We shall wait for you down".
Saying this, both of them went out of my room and I hit Chris(well....not too hard) on the shoulder and said,
"You complete idiot! I was trying to cover up and you say no. Were you even pay attention to what I said?"
"How can I pay attention to anything while an enchantress is standing beside me?"
"Flirting doesn't work right now and come, let's go down as you might not want our mothers to think we are____"
"We are...?"
"Stop playing dumb and just come down."
Saying this, I turned and took a few steps and Chris grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him. I was in no time wrapped in his hands and I had my hands around him.Those blue eyes were so penetrating and beautiful to look at that I could spend the rest of my life looking at them. They were sparkling and looked so glassy and I heard my mom say, "Are both of you here yet?!"
I pulled myself away from him in the most unwilling way and walked down the stairs. Our mothers were sitting on the couch and were waiting for us. We went and sat there next to each other and Ms.Maria said, "Well Jessie...I don't know how you are going to take this, but you know your mother applied for a job as an architect right?"
"Yeah..."
"Well...she got selected".
"Woah ma, congrats!!!"

Saying this, I went and hugged my mom. Ms Maria continued, "But the job needs training and the training is to be attended in London and there are possibilities that she might have to stay there".
"That's cool ma! When do you have to leave?"
"Are you sure it is ok?"
"Why wouldn't it be,Ma?! You need to follow your dream and this is the chance. So please don't worry about anything".
I was overwhelmed when I heard that. My mom has been trying for this since a very long time and I don't want her to kill her dreams for me.
"One more problem Jessica.."
"What is it again ma? Please don't worry about me. I will be alright. If you are so afraid, I can move in again with Ash".
"Not that....Maria and I are going together and the flight is tomorrow in the morning".
Ok....so this is disappointing. I have less than 24 hours to spend with my mother.
"If you aren't feeling so good about it, I can just cancel it Jessie..."
"No...I can't have you do that".
So we spoke for a while and Chris and Ms.Maria headed home as it got too late. I said, "Ma..."
"Yes dear?"
"Chris proposed to me today".
"What?!!! That's seriously so wonderful! How did he propose?"
"Well....he left notes near the door, the church, on my locker about where I had to go. Once I went into the class, I found myself in a circle of lavenders and he was on his knee with a rose in his hand".
"Ohhh...."
Then I went and helped my mother pack her bags and it was about time I got to bed and I was walking my way out of my mom's room and my mom said, "Jessie..."
"Ya mom"
"Well good night dear!"
"Good night mom".
"And another thing before I leave tomorrow, remember I am not ready to become a grandma already".
"MA!!!"
Saying this, I ran into my room, locked the door after me and threw myself on bed. I was blushing so much that people could be easily deceived that my cheeks were painted with red and with those thoughts, I drifted off to sleep.

The next day

Here we go to the airport. I have been controlling my tears as even one tiniest tear drop rolling down my eyes would be enough to stop my mother. I was looking out of the car window and I was thinking about my mother. I got a text from Chris on my phone,
"Hi Jessie"
"Hi"
"Where are you"
"On the way....might take us around 10 more minutes".
"Oh...ok. Just wanted to check as we have reached".
"Ok...."
"Your mom is ok?"
"Usual...she is on her phone and of course, she will be feeling a little bad".
"That's there and my mom has been telling me about what I gotta do like...babysitting you when both of our mothers have gone to London".
"Haha...😂"
"Ok bye!🙂"
"Bye".
Ok... so let's get back to the window.

We reached the airport and we saw that Chris and Ms.Maria had been waiting for us. We spoke for a while and heard the announcement about the flight in which they were travelling. 
It was time for them to leave and ma hugged me and kissed me on the forehead and she started to cry. She went on the escalator with Ms.Maria who was saying that everything will be ok. Chris came and hugged me and my tears were soaking his shirt wet.

He got a call from a girl named Amelia and he said, "One second...I will be back".
Saying this, he took the phone and went and spoke to her. I wonder who is Amelia....
He came back and said, "Sorry for the wait. She is my.....
