Perfect ◇ Why Don't We

Chapter 8

Zach took Eliza to meet his mother. As Zach stopped the car in front of the house and Eliza started to bite her nails nervously.

Zach saw her and smiled. "You look cute when you're nervous."

"What if your mom doesn't like me?" Eliza asked him.

"Trust me, she will love you." Zach assured her.

"Okay." Eliza nodded.

"Let's go." Zach said before giving her a kiss on her forehead.

Eliza nodded.

Zach took the bag with their clothes before they got off the car and started to walk towards the front door.

Zach rang the bell and waited for someone to open the door.

After a few seconds a lady who looked like she was in her fifties opened the door and smiled as she saw Zach. "You're home."

"Hey, mom." Zach kissed her cheek and gave her a tight hug making her hug back.

"Who is she?" Zach's mother asked him as she noticed Eliza.

"Oh. This is my girlfriend, Eliza Saltzman." Zach said, introducing Eliza to his mother. And then he turned to Eliza. "Eliza, this is my mom."

"It's pleased to meet you, Mrs.Herron." Eliza said, giving her a warm smile.

Zach's mother smiled back and extended her arms to her making Eliza smile widely and hug her.

"Zach told me about you before." Zach's mother touched her cheek and then her hair as they parted from the hug. "You're more beautiful than he explained to me about you."

"Thank you, Mrs .Herron." Eliza smiled as her face turned into red shades.

"Just call me Myta. I prefer more if you call me mom because today onwards I'm going to be your mom. Don't call me Mrs. Herron again, okay?" Myta asked.

"Okay, mom." Eliza nodded smiling.

"Okay. Come inside both of you before you two catch a cold." Myta said, making them walk inside the house.

Eliza looked around as they came to the living room. She saw a few framed photographs hanging on the wall making her walk to them and look at them. She smiled as she saw the photographs of Zach's childhood.

"I look worse in my childhood." Zach said from behind as he wrapped his arms around her waist as he placed his chin on her shoulder.

"No, little you look so cute." Eliza said smiling.

"Then give a kiss to this cute boy." Zach whispered to her.

"Are you serious? We're at your mom's home." Eliza reminded me.

"So?" Zach asked her to give him a slight glare.

"I made coffee." Myta walked into the living room making them look at her.

"Okay, mom." Zach said without taking his arms off her waist.

"Thank you, Mrs. Herr- I mean mom." Eliza thanked her, making Myta smile as the response.

"You two make me remind Mark and I when we were dating." Myta said smiling at them.

"Alright. Drink the coffee before it gets cold." Myta said changing the subject.
