You Belong To Me

43

The next morning my mom woke me up at the crack of dawn. I dragged myself out of bed at 8am so we could start preparing for dinner. A dinner that didn't start until 5. It was clear to me that my mom was focused on impressing Noah today.

Sleep didn't come easily to me last night as anxieties about tonight's meal coursed through me. I called Noah at 1am to go through some dinner rules. He teased as I expressed my nerves to him but I was confident he would actually listen to what I had to say.

The rules were simple - No cussing, no inappropriate touching, no weapons in my house and no gang talk. As long as he followed the rules we'd be able to have a civilised evening. I hoped.

My mom made me clean the house top to bottom in preparation for tonight. I hoovered, dusted, mopped up and did laundry. It was noon by the time I finished and I was already ready to get back into bed.

I walked into the kitchen whilst my mom was preparing the dinner. She was marinating Lamb and cutting up potatoes. "Mom you do know that Noah isn't royalty, you don't have to go above and beyond." She hardly got any time off of work so I didn't want her spending her whole day preparing for one dinner.

"I know that darling, but I want to make sure everything is perfect tonight. I'm so excited to meet Noah properly. Plus you get to spend some more time with Andrew so it'll be great." I could tell my mom was genuinely happy so I couldn't help going over to her to give her a big hug. For the longest time ever it's only been me and mom so it was nice to share our life with other people, even if one of those people is Ripper.

I helped with food prep before it was time to go upstairs and get ready. My stomach still felt a little uneasy, but there was a tiny bit inside of me that was excited for tonight. Noah formally meeting my mom really did mean I was giving myself over to him. Never in a million years did I expect to be spending a Sunday evening like this.

I made sure to take my time getting ready today. I took an extra long shower making sure to use my cherry scented soap. I moisturised every part of my body with cherry lotion, keeping to the strawberry theme. I noticed that Noah was a fan of my natural scent, that natural scent happened to be cherry.

It took me a little while to decide what to wear but in the end I decided on a simple baby pink dress that fitted me nicely. It had simple thin straps and stopped just above the knee. It was simple yet effective. I debated straightening my hair but I remember Noah said he preferred it curly so I left it in it's natural state.

I checked myself in the mirror and decided I was happy with the way I looked. Just as I was about to leave, my phone started to ring. I assumed it was Noah letting me know he's on his way but it was a blocked caller. I debated not answering the call for a moment but curiosity got the better of me.

"Hello, who's this?" I waited for an answer but instead the line stayed quiet. "Helllllo, is anybody there?" After more moments of silence I hung up the phone and headed downstairs deciding it must have been some sort of prank call.

Walking into the dining room I saw my mom had set the table all fancy looking, almost as if we were in a restaurant. Noah would be here in around 5 minutes and I quickly poured myself a glass of wine to calm my nerves.

As I walked into the kitchen I caught Andrew with his tongue down my moms throat, an image I never wanted to see again. They pulled away quickly when I made myself known, both of them blushing.

Just as I gave Andrew an hello, the door bell rang. I jumped a little almost completely forgetting Noah was going to be here in no time.

Mom squealed as she heard the bell and started happily clapping her hands. I rolled my eyes at her and quickly smoothed my dress down.
