Grace's POV
"Grace, can we talk?" Mom said from behind me
I turned around and met her gaze. It was hard to gauge what she was thinking.
I swallowed and nodded my head "Course" I smiled
We walked into the kitchen and sat at the dining table. It was quiet for a few seconds and then Mom started to talk
"I know what you've done tonight and I think we should talk about it"
I sucked in my lips and looked around a little uncomfortably "There's really not that much to say" I really didn't want this right now
"I think there is Grace. You're 15 and you've just had sex" Mom's voice remained steady
I felt my face start to go red and I looked down at my hands "Umm, I wasn't sure if you knew" was all I could say
"Of course I know, you weren't exactly quiet about it"
I looked up shocked, I didn't realise I had been that loud "ahh, I..."
"It wasn't you, it was the bed knocking against the wall"
I breathed a heavy sigh of relief, at least my mother hadn't heard me moaning
"I'm not sure what to say. I thought you knew that was what we were going to do when I asked to leave the table at dinner"
"Grace, baby, we had a conversation not that long ago about sex. I said to you about being careful, and I hope you've followed through on that. What I'm concerned about is that you haven't know this boy very long and you've already done it... you're not even legal"
"I thought because we had that talk you were okay with it" She had confused me. One minute she was giving me advice like she wanted me to marry this boy and now it seemed like she was totally against us being together
"Well I just thought that you would have been sensible enough to wait until it was legal and you were sure that he was the one you wanted to experience sex with for the first time" She looked disappointed
"I'm not really sure what you want me to say Mom, it's not really like that was my first time anyway" My voice wasn't raised but it was quivering, after what had happened to me sex was something that scared me I had only let Edward do what he did because I trusted him
Mom was silent for a little while "You really didn't need to bring that up, this isn't what this is about"
"Surely this is all that this conversation is about"
There was no shouting or yelling between us, but this conversation was wrapped in agitation from both her and I.
