The alarm clock buzzed loudly, waking me from my dream. It took a moment to put my thoughts together; what day was it? I remembered getting off the plane and the ride home with "Josh". The ride home was nice, I guess. He asked for my number at the end of the drive, maybe he was kinda cute...
I woke up when I heard Rory's alarm clock, I wasn't used to another person in the house; except of course Paul Anka, me and him go waayyy back! Of course I was glad that my daughter was home, but I was dreading what I had to tell her, especially after she told me about the guy she met on her way home.
I heard someone coming up the stairs, should I pretend to be asleep? Sooner or later, I'll have to tell her. Maybe I'll just pretend that it never happened, how much damage could it possibly do?
8 months later
"Hunny, I'm workin' the late shift tonight. Some kids have been trashin' some of the government buildings lately. Man, I hate teenagers."
"Oh, ok. You'll be careful won't you?"
"Of course I'll be careful, it's not like it's real dangerous anyway…"
There's his attitude again. "Ya I know, but still."
"Sure. Gotta go. Bye." He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Love you." I called after him, but I guess he didn't hear me.
Sometimes I didn't get him. Josh and I have been going out for almost 8 months. Everything seemed to be going fine, until a little bit ago. I actually even thought he was going to propose soon; my mom would say we were rushing into things, but I think I really do love him. The last time I felt like this was…NO! Why can't I ever stop myself! It's like I'm cursed!
My thoughts were interrupted by the phone. "Oh, hey mom! I'm glad you called."
I heard her voice pick up the phone; I was hoping it would go to voice mail. Obviously this problem wasn't going to go away by itself, I had to tell her. Why did he have to call again?
"Hey hunny, um…I have something that I need to tell you."
"Uh oh, sounds bad, should I call a doctor in case I faint?" she joked
"Ha, maybe. What I need to tell you is…um…I got my hair cut!" I just couldn't bring myself to tell her, everything was going so good with Josh.
"What is it REALLY? You can tell me, mom, you don't have to worry."
Fine, I can do this. "Ok, here it goes…Logan called."
