Christmas
It was a beautiful Christmas day. Since my children where out of the house they came at lunchtime. Like he said Eric brought Calleigh along. Of cause I greeted her as a daughter. And she brought presents. My grandchildren loved them.
When we sat at the table to eat, the conversation went to many previews Christmas'.
"Remember the year we all went to New York?" Isabella asked.
"Oh, yeah. I loved the ice scating.", Melosa my other daughter said.
I grinned: "As far as I remembered Eric wasn't into the scating at all. Tell me Calleigh, have you ever been to New York."
She had been so silent the whole time and I wanted to get her into talk, and to know if my assumption was right.
She smiled: "Yes, and it was actually on Christmas. But it's long ago."
"And there wasn't a eleven year old boy who kissed you, was there?" I asked.
Eric's face went red. "Mom! Don't tell everybody!"
Calleigh turned towards him surprised: "That was YOU!?"
No one was talking anymore.
"Yeah and you hit me!" he told her.
She took a bite of the turky: "Well you were pretty precocious for your age." she said.
Everyone at the table was laughing, even Eric and Calleigh.
"Well, it was his first kiss." I told them.
"MOM!" Eric said.
Calleigh was still laughing: "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone."
When we were all full, Eric helped me to wash up.
"Eric I want Calleigh to my daughter in law."
He was stunned. "Erm… well… I ugh…"
"Stop babbling. Ask her!"
"Mom, we are just together for 6 month."
"And you have known each other for how many years?" He wanted to say something but I did't let him. "You told me yourself she is the one."
"That something between me and Calleigh. So stop bothering." He said and walked out of the kitchen. I knew he wasn't mad but even I have to admit that he is a man who does his own decisions.
