May

Twenty

"Baby, I am really nervous because I will have to take the scarf off." I say as we walk up the driveway. I am wearing heels and an amazing custom made necklace that has our names together.

May-Josh

It is beautiful gift and I love it. He also bought me diamond earrings, I totally feel in love but I had to tell Josh that he did not have to spend so much money on me.

"You will be okay." He says with his hand on my ass.

"I hope so." I ring the doorbell and soon my mother is at the door. "Hey mommy." I say because I see her looking at my neck.

"May, what happened to your neck?" How do you explain this to your mom.

"Ma, they are hickeys or love bites, now please stop embarrassing me in front of my boyfriend. Josh this is my mom, ma, this is Josh my boyfriend. " I say trying not to show her what the scarf is hiding.

"Evening, Ms Collins, I am Josh Mills."

"Call me, Precious, as much as u would like to ask you questions, it is her birthday and she does not want me embarrassing her." She adds sarcastically

"Ma, Let's not do this, please. You know I love you and you can scream at me all you like, after twelve. " I say hugging her. She pulls slightly on my scarf. "Mama, don't do what I think you are going to do. Chill do not raise your blood pressure." She nods and I lead her to the eight seater in our dining room. Although we never eat here my mom thought it was necessary to create the home setting.

"Hey guys." Dylan says and he looks at my neck and smirks

"Do not go there." I say and I hug him and I get birthday wishes from him and Ryan. Noah brought Kate and I have to hug her as well.

"When Josh said you were having sex, he did not mention this." Noah whispers into my ear.

"Because that information is classified." I whisper back to him. I am seated in between my mom and Josh. To say this dinner began on a bad note is an understatement.
Kate is talking so much I feel like slapping Noah.

"You know I have not gotten any presents from you guys except for Josh." I say trying to distract the conversation from Kate to me.

"You can open them after dinner. Come help me with it." My mom says standing up.

I signal for Dylan to come with me, I am not going there by myself.

I walk into the kitchen and my mom has overdone herself. There are almost all my favourite dishes. There is carrot salad, bean salad, chicken salad, stir fry, mince and rice, pasta salad.

I am going to enjoy dinner. We place the dishes on the table. I bent a little and Josh had a slight blush on his face. It is cute and funny the way I affect him without touching him.

The conversation is flowing and fine until my mom decides that it is time to interrogate Josh.

"So Josh, where do you work?" Choking on my food seemed like a good way to stop this conversation.

"I am an entrepreneur." He answers

"What do you own?"

"I own a bar and training camp." He says. Look at him being all smart and all.

"Oh, okay, do you have any children?" Ma! I feel like pulling my hair out at the embarrassment that I am feeling.

"I do, a daughter she is three years old."

"Her name is Amari, if you were going to ask." I answer before she even thinks of asking.

"Don't tell me that my daughter is living with you to take care of your daughter?" My mom embarrassed not only me but Dylan, Ryan and Noah.
