Part 15

A/N: Sorry for the late update. Last weekend was like the biggest holiday in Indonesia. I was barely able to touch my laptop.

*****

It's almost 8 PM when we finally arrive at my house. I bring our shopping bags with me as I'm getting out of the car. William walks over towards me after he's done locking his car. He takes the shopping bags from me and holds my hand using his other hand. We immediately head to my house's front door. I can see a flickering light coming out from one of the windows at the first floor. My mom must be watching TV right now. She leaves the curtain open so that when I come home, I'll know that she's still up and waiting.

This habit of hers has been fully understood by my dad and me. That's why we ought to let her know in advance if we plan on coming home late or not coming home at all, so that she wouldn't have to wait. My dad works in a shifting schedule at a local hospital. Sometimes he has to work in night shift or take some over time at night. That's why it's important for us to keep her updated. It's good that William understands that as well since he managed to inform her that I wouldn't be coming home yesterday.

William presses the door's bell without bothering to let go off my hand. He just raises our hand together and presses the button with his index finger. It is no more than a minute of waiting until the door is opened. We are greeted by a cheerful motherly face from the other side of the door. My mom loves to smile a lot and she's strongly confident. I wonder why such positive vibes didn't get to be passed down to me.

"Hi! Welcome home." Her shoulder length black hair is now being tied into a ponytail. She wears a gray wool cardigan above her white tank top with a pair of black yoga pants. Are those really yoga pants? I'm not so sure, but they do seem so to me.

"Hey, Sarah. How are you doing?" William greets my mom with his polite smile.

"I'm good, William." My mom answers. "Please come in."

"I'm sorry we're a bit late. I hope we don't make you worry. We were looking for a gift this afternoon." William gives a short explanation. "Louis' best friend's birthday is coming up this Friday."

"It's no problem, William. As long as he's with you, I can always feel at ease." By the look of her blooming smile, it's obvious that my mom likes William so much. She deems William to be a polite and highly responsible person despite his age. She believes that William will never hurt her one and only son. And I'd like to think that her hunch is right.

I motion to take the shopping bags in William's hand. "Let me take these upstairs first."

William is unexpectedly tightening his hold on the bags. This raises a question in my head. I look up at his smiling face and frown.

"Kiss me first, Baby."

Seriously? Did he just say that in front of my mom? He knows I can never say no to him. That's why he deliberately lowers his head to approach mine. I kiss him on the lips while trying so hard to contain the embarrassment of having to do this in front of my mom. Most people might think this is an ordinary thing, but I'm not used to this. I never had a boyfriend before William.

I hear my mom is chuckling at the scene before her eyes. "Oh, isn't it nice to be young?"

I see William is allowing a happy smirk on his lips once we part from the kiss. I know he must be taking a great joy of seeing my heavily redden and embarrassed face. I quickly take the shopping bags and run upstairs before any of them manage to throw any more remarks to tease me.
