"Great news!" Nina's voice trilled over Eddie's phone.
"Did you talk to Patricia?" Eddie eagerly asked.
"Yes! I did!" Nina said. "She feels the same way!"
"Really?" Eddie couldn't believe it.
"Really." Nina confirmed.
"I guess I'll tell her." Eddie beamed as he hung up the phone. He had just finished work and walked Patricia home. She had seemed a little bit hesitant, especially since her mum hadn't showed back up to work until an hour before it was over. Thankfully, Mr. Williamson had held his patience, thankful that she had even bothered to show up at all.
Eddie hated seeing Patricia like this. She didn't want to go home, in fear of her parents fighting.
But right now, he was so happy; he could bounce off the walls. He loved someone, and the love was returned. And it was the best relationship he'd ever had.
His phone rang again. He looked at the caller ID.
"Hi, Mom!" He chirped into the phone.
Ms. Miller was slightly surprised at her son's good mood. He wasn't usually like this. But she decided to take full advantage of the moment. "Hi, Eddie! I was just on Facebook and saw you got tagged in a post by 'Patricia Williamson'. Is that the Patricia?"
Eddie felt his heart skip a beat at her name. "It is. What's the post say?"
"'Glad to have a boyfriend like Eddie Miller who's there for me!' And then it has a smiley face." Ms. Miller read.
"Are you stalking me or something, Mom?" Eddie joked.
"It's my responsibility to make sure that you're doing appropriate things. Even if you're over there for the summer, you're still my little boy."
"Mom," Eddie groaned. "I'm not a little kid anymore."
"You are to me." Ms. Miller responded.
"And I thought Dad was the emotional one." Eddie grumbled.
"What's that?" Ms. Miller said, not really paying attention. "Who's Drew Peters?"
"You're on my Facebook page?" Eddie rolled his eyes. "That's Drew. I told you about him, remember? The one who throws the awesome parties?"
"Oh, oh right." Ms. Miller replied. "He has some interesting comments to some of your posts. Hey, Eddie, what's 'snogging'?"
"Uh… Hugging, Mom" Eddie quickly said. "Is that it?"
"No! I didn't just call you to tell you that stuff!"
"Good, I'm glad." Eddie rolled his eyes.
"I'm thinking about visiting some friends of mine who live in the area that you're in. I'm coming to visit!" Ms. Miller squeaked.
"Really?" This got Eddie's attention. "When?"
"A week or so from now." Ms. Miller responded. "I'm excited to meet Patricia, Drew, and Flute!"
"Flute?" Eddie asked. He thought for a moment, before realizing who she must've meant. "Do you mean Piper?"
"Oh! Was that her name? I forgot." Ms. Miller said. "But I'm especially excited to meet Patricia! You've told me so much about her!"
"Okay, but you're not going to mention that, right?" Eddie asked.
"Of course I will, Eddie!" Ms. Miller replied. "I have to go for now. The dog is barking at who knows what. Call me soon, okay, baby?"
Eddie rolled his eyes. "Bye, Mom."
I know, a bit of a filler, but I like Ms. Miller (or that one conversation that she had during Eddie and Patricia's date… remember? "No you can't talk to her! Why? Because I don't want my mom on my date!") so I decided to go ahead and make her visit! (: Yaya!
And you guys are soooo sweet! I'm still embarrassed though. I guess posting the wrong chapter happens to everyone. At least I didn't post a future chapter to this story though! That would've been BAAAD! Baaa. I'm a sheep, now! ;) Okay, too much sugar…
