Hey guys, Heres chapter 17
Chapter 17 Mum When I woke up, I found Lucas gone. I got up and walked into the living room, he was sat on one of the couches watching Jeremy Kyle. “I didn’t picture you as a Jeremy Kyle fan.” I said, he turned around. “Oh, you’re awake. Yeah I don’t mind it. It’s just nothing was on TV.” He replied. “What time did you wake up?” I asked, as I sat next to him. “About two hours ago. It’s already 10 o’ clock” he said. “Gosh, I slept for hours. You should have woke me.” “No, I couldn’t. You were tired.” We turned to the TV. Jeremy was shouting at someone for leaving his children. That brought a horrible thought to my head… “You wouldn’t leave me Lucas, would you?” I asked, not wanting to know the answer. “Never, where in the world did you get that idea?” he replied. I was so relieved. “I just wondered. Will you ever age?” “If I choose to. Let’s not have this conversation. Am I still meeting your mother today?” “I have to ring her.” I got up and walked to the bedroom. I picked up my phone and dialled the number. “Hello” my mother said “Hey mum, its Jane.” I said “Hi Jane, What’s up?” “I’m bringing someone home for dinner tonight.” I announced “Ok. Sure I’m going to be home for about 4.30, so dinner will be ready about 6” “Ok, I’ll be home at around 5.30” “Why? Are you not at home?” she asked “No… Emm, I went to the shops, early, I’m just at the shop now.” I lied “Oh ok.” “I’ve got to go mum bye” “Bye” I hung up and retuned to Lucas. “To answer your question ‘Am I still meeting your mother today?’ The answer is yes you are meeting her, you’re coming for dinner actually.” He smiled. “Great, 5.30 I heard. So what are we going to do today?” “Can we stay in and watch a movie or something?” I asked. By 4 o’ clock we had watched four different movies. Twilight, New moon, the woman in black and Grease. I finally got up and got dressed. I wore a short, hot pink dress with purple leggings. “Suits you” said Lucas, when I walked back into the living room. He smiled. “My turn to get dressed now. What do I wear?” “Something cool, but smart.” “A suit?” he questioned “I’d love to see you in a suit.” I replied “A suit it is then.” I smiled as he walked off. 5 minutes later Lucas came back dressed in his black suit. “Nice suit” I said and he smiled. It was already 5.00. “Ready to go?” he asked “Yes” I stood up, grabbed my stuff and walked to the door. The ride wasn’t long, we were there by 5.15. Before we went in Lucas kissed me on the cheek. “You ready?” “Yeah.” I replied. We walked in. “Mum?” I called “In here Jane” she replied from the kitchen. I put my bag down in the hallway and breathed in as I walked into the kitchen. “Mum. This is Lucas... He is my boyfriend” My mum’s eyes widened. “Hello Lucas. I’m Erika, Jane’s mum.” “Hello Ericka. May I say your cooking smells delightful” “Why thank you Lucas. Jane do you mind if I speak to you alone for a second? “Sure” I replied. He will hear though. I thought. Lucas smiled. My mum and I walked to the hall way. “Jane! When were you planning to tell me? How long?” “Three days.” “What? And you’re already bringing him home for dinner. Nice. He’s looks smart too.” Thanks. Lucas thought Well you are. I thought back. “We need to go back. Before he gets bored.” My mother said. We walked back; Lucas smiled when he saw me. Later on, when dinner was ready, we started to talk more. “So” My mother said. “Am I going to have any grandchildren?” I nearly choked. I gave my mother a look. “What? I was only asking. I need to know what to expect.” Lucas laughed. “I’m not having this conversation.” I announced. My cheeks turned a light pink colour. Lucas. I thought. Say something. “So Ericka.” Lucas said “How would you feel if I took your daughter to Rio in Brazil for a few weeks in the summer?” “I wouldn’t mind at all” she replied. I nearly choked again. How did you do that? I thought to him I’m very persuasive. He thought back. You are very skilled. My mother would never normally say that. Wait Rio. Why? I don’t know. It’s a nice country. “I’ll pay for everything.” Lucas said You’re seriously insane, if you think I’m going to let you pay for me. I thought. I must be insane then. He replied Summer was only a few weeks away, and I’d be on holiday with Lucas…
