The way you should be loved

Chapter Twenty

I woke up in the morning with a splitting headache. I had a massive hangover. What did we do last night when I noticed Jon there two? I looked down I had clothes on so no we did not. Jon isn't that guy anyway. He's too nice for that. I moved and woke up Jon next to me. 

 "Morning, how are you feeling?". 

 " Better. Thanks for staying with me, Jon". 

 "I couldn't just leave you". I wanted to give him a kiss but my stomach had other ideas as I flew out of bed to the bathroom. I am glad I had clothes on. 

 " Are you OK in there?". 

 "Yeah" as I flushed the toilet. 

 "Do you think you are OK to go and get some breakfast". 

 "Yeah, I think. I am sure there is something there I can eat unless I just drink some strong black coffee. Then I need to go home and sleep it off". 

 " Ha you were a bit wasted last night" laughed Jon. 

 "But you drank as much as I did". 

 " But I ate more than you," he says "Food soaks up the alcohol". 

" Whatever".

 "Breakfast" as he gets up and starts to dress. I really don't want to but I don't think he will let me not go. Maybe some strong black coffee will help. We met up with everyone down in the restaurant for breakfast. My parents were sat at one table with Jon's parents. So we sat with them. 

 "How are you Bethan?" asked my dad. 

 "Better than last night," I said with a blush as I think I didn't set a very good example.

 "OK, good. Don't worry Bethan, you didn't ruin anything. You can stop blushing". 

 " Unless you have," my mom said looking at Jon with a smile.

 "Mom". 

 " So are you guys official yet". 

 "Mom". 

 " Don't worry Bethan. Your mom is still a little drunk".

 "Ahh, there you are little brother". 

 " Hey, I'm not the little brother". 

 "You are Jon. While baby brother is out finding himself".

 " So did you get lucky then Jon" replied one of his brothers who I don't really know that well. I think one is called David and the other is Chris. 

 "Why do you say that David". 

 " You disappeared". 

 "Yeah to help Bethan". 

 " Are you two together?" Chris points to Jon and me. 

 "Yeah since the New Year kiss we gave each other". 

 " What about Jordan?". 

 "What about Jordan, mom. He broke up with her before he left to travel" says Jon. 

"Yeah, and he left in tears because he did". My mom says " You swoop in". 

 "No I didn't just swoop in, mom. I helped her when she was really depressed. I became her friend and she was mine. But yes uts become more then friends". 

 He places a hand on my knee as we sit next to each other. It sounds like his mom dislikes me now as I am with Jon now. But my parents prefer Jon to Jordan. 

 " Are we official Jon?". 

 "Yeah" he whispers to me "If you have me".

There it was within months of breaking up with Jordan and being seriously depressed because of Jordan. I have a boyfriend in Jon. My parents approve but his mom doesn't. I am not jumping from one brother to another. It's not like that. I care for Jon. He has helped me for a while. And our friendship has blossomed into something else. Everyone will have to deal with it. Jon and I are together now. And there is nothing anyone can or do to stop us. 

Or can it... 

Who knows what will happen in months to come...

Nobody knows what happens in their life...

Nobody can really plan their life out according to their own plan... 

IT JUST HAPPENS...
