YouTube: The Destiny Finder

Chapter 43

"Dinner is served" Marie served the last dishes to pick from on the table and sat down across from Jc, who was sitting next to me.

We all served ourselves what we wanted and how much of each thing we wanted. It was sort of awkward at first until my cousin started the conversation.

"So Jc, tell me about yourself" she started off.

"Well, I'm a professional at videography-"

"Sweetheart, I don't do lies I know you're a YouTuber" she cut him off.

"I know ma'am, but filming is an art" Jc enthusiastically said.

"Respect" my cousin went in for a fist bump and then continued eating. "Go on..." she pursued.

"Well, my best friend is my dog" he stated a bit shy.

"Cute, cute" she commented.

I couldn't help, but get lost in his presence. Suddenly everything was blurred out, even his voice was blocked out. I just stared at him in 'aw'.

But then something interrupted my thoughts and it was the mention of my name "The reason for my coming is to ask your permission to be able to date Melissa."

"Well, you seem like a very nice guy and I'd like to know you're intentions" Marie informed.

"I just want to make her happy and give her not only what she needs but wants" he explained.

"Well, isn't that just cute, but let me warn you she's quite the handful" my cousin warned.

"Hey!" I exclaimed.

"I'm sure I'll handle her" he laughed. "So, since you're Melissa's mom I'd like to ask if it's ok to keep seeing her."

"Oh darling, I'm not her mom" she put down her spoon "that's actually why we called you here."

"Oh" Jc spoke utterly confused of what was going on.

"I'm Melissa's cousin and well... it seems to me you've been infatuated by her for a while, so I'm ok telling you with Melissa's approval" Marie looked at me, as I nodded in approval.

"See, Melissa's mom was greatly affected by the death of Melissa's dad..." she started, as I dug my head into Jc's shoulder. "...and well her mom fell into the influence of drugs and alcohol and she kind of couldn't handle the responsibility of a child, so I took Melissa under my household. I'm never around, because I have business trips and the reason for her telling people her 'parents' go on business trips is just a way of avoiding the subject..."

"Oh, I understand" Jc replied, as he put his arm over me.

"I would tell you more, but it's not my story to tell" Marie smiled, as I uncovered my face.

"You ok" he faced me, as I nodded.

"So, for all its worth. You have my approval" Marie smiled.

"Thank you, Marie" Jc widely smiled.

"Ok, well I'll clean up here and you two can have some alone time." Marie picked up our plates "Will you be staying overnight?"

"I was thinking of getting a hotel room for the remaining time of Melissa's vacation" Jc spoke.

"Oh no sweety, this house has plenty of room for one more. There's a guest room if you wish or you could sleep in Melissa's room" Marie proposed.

"Thank you so much" Jc smiled in gratitude.

"No problem" she said picking up the last dish "ok well, I'll leave you 2 alone. Have fun, but not too much fun" Marie scolded, as Jc put his hands up. She laughed and left the room.

"So, what do you wanna do?" he asked, as I shrugged. "You're no fun!" he picked me up with my arms wrapped around his neck, because somehow he knew I was being lazy "YOU HAVE A TRAMPOLINE!"

"Don't yell I'm right here!" I muttered into his chest. Without a clue, I was carried out into the trampoline. He somehow managed to get up and jump on it while carrying my fatass. "Jay-ceeeeeeeeee" I complained.

"You sound drunk, c'mon lighten up a bit" he pouted, as I got off and started jumping with him. "See isn't this more fun."

"Eh, maybe just a little" I shrugged.
