Very Unexpected Relationship at the Wrong Time... Chapter 14

"This is your mom," I repeated. I checked if my mouth was hanging open, no it's not, thank god because that would be disrespectful,but it was from good reason.

The woman laughed and extended one delicate, pale hand at me and said in a soprano,tender voice,"Yes. I'm Shadowfax's mother and you must be..."

I shook the hand which was warm in touch and said shyly,"My name is Arielle ma'am. Arielle Martinez. A friend of Shadow." I smiled at her. Oh god, I thought, this was gonna be an interesting day. Wait, isn't everyday one? 

The woman laughed softly and said kindly,"Well it's nice to meet you Arielle and Shadow-" She turned her body toward her son. Shadow raised an eyebrow in return.

"Aren't you supposed to be in school with Arielle, Shadow?" finished a suspicious mother. I blinked in confusion at her tone. 

Shadow seemed to have noticed too because he said,"Um, well, mother we decided to take a break and nothing important is going on so we won't miss much." She still looked suspicious. I felt uncomfortable. 

"Shadow, what were you guys doing upstairs?" She raised an eyebrow. I did the same.

"Nothing, just talking out at the balcony. What's wrong mom?"

"Nothing just wanted to make sure that you weren't doing anything...wrong."

Shadow's eyebrow furrowed in confusion."Define wrong, mom?" I bit my lip and held my breath. I was like seriously uncomfortable and what came out of Shadow's mom later on shocked me to my core.

Shadow's mom glanced between us and she crossed her arms. "I might as well say it now...You guys weren't having sex were you?"

My breath came out as a shocked one and then for some reason (a stupid reason) I started laughing. What the hell is wrong with me, I thought. Now I lost it.

Shadow glanced at me sourly. That made me laugh more since this really was happening. 

His mom huffed. "Well there is no reason for you to laugh at me, but I just assumed you were doing it because of your wrinkled clothes! And I'm sorry that I assumed that since by Shadow's reaction, but mostly yours, nothing happened."

My laughing lopsided and I glanced at Shadow at the corner of my eye and surprisingly he had his eyes closed with his thumb and forefinger pinching the bridge of his nose, and he was shaking his head. I don't know if it was from embarrassment or incredulously, somewhere from in between I would say.

I took a calming breath while Shadow spoke through clenched teeth. "Mother...why would you think that? That's like ludicrous. I can't even..." I narrowed my eyes and avoided his mom's sharp eyes as they wandered over us and by our body language she figured out that this was not really okay. I mean that it was like really awkward and just uncomfortable.

Shadow's mom sighed and said in a apologetically voice,"Excuse me for being rude. Especially to you Arielle since you probably don't want to come here ever again because of that slip. Honestly."

I spoke out,"No, it was just unexpected and just...wow. I never thought a parent would have the guts to say something like that so...freely. It's quite admiring. And I mean well." I added with a smile.

"Tsk...I don't even know where that came from. Well, I'm glad you forgive me and Shadow--" She looked at her son.

Shadow had his arms crossed tightly over his leather jacket and looked straight at his mom. "Mother, you seriously have to watch what your saying, especially around people who you don't know! Just promise me you won't do it again." She quickly nodded since Shadow looked very...dangerous right now.
