REGRETS

A/N: Here comes chap what? 1O, that's it, already! Only own the characters you never heard about before reading this story…

Scott's apartment, Three Weeks Later

His mother's coming soon. This morning the phone rang while I was still in the bathroom. He's telling me she's going to stay only a week. Only!

"Did you talk to her about me?" I don't know why I'm sounding so worried.

"Uh, no. Why?" Why, you wanna know why? How about because I'm your girlfriend and I'm planning on spending the rest of my life with you?

"Well, just a question…did she already see Tina?" I can't help it…what if they met and she liked her a lot. Will she like me even though? God, I'm lost and confused, now.

"She met her once." No! How come this never happened with me? Is he ashamed because I've a past and afraid of her finding out? "Shel, don't worry about it, I'm sure she'll love you as much as I do." I hope you're right, otherwise, you won't see me a lot during her stay here.

"So, uh, am I going to meet her when she'll come?"

"Of course yes!" He's excited now, why can I just be too? He's looking at me closely. What does he think? "I mean, if you want to…" I nod hesitantly. He's grinning now; it will be like making official our relationship. I soon feel his fingers making their way under my top, or rather on my neck and breasts. What is he doing to me? Trying to convince me everything will be okay? Because nothing will throw the idea of imminent disaster out of my head, I just can't help but feel worried and stressed. I'm just not in the mood. He continues traveling me and even begins kissing my lips…well maybe I'm always in the mood for this…

Shelby's apartment, Later the same Day

"Hey Dais, can I have an advice?" I ask my best friend the same night. I decided to spend the night at home since Scott is watching a football match with Steve, one of his jock friends.

"Sure!" She nods and I sit on her bed. Ah, she was obviously busy seeing as all the history books are scattered on the floor. She visibly needed a distraction. "What about?" I know that sly smile, it means: Scott, again.

"Uh, Scott's mother is coming next week and I'll have to meet her…"

"And the problem is?" Is she stupid or what? I mean, that's obvious what the problem is!

"Well, I never met her, and I absolutely want to make a good impression."

"Why that? It's not like you always do or rather care about making a good appearance?" Urg, harsh!

"Well, she's his mother, the one who delivered him and he's the love of my life." Wait, did I just say that? Apparently yes, because she's laughing.

"How romantic! The love of your life!" She's saying it dreamingly. It can't be, she forcefully have feelings, even romantic. She just doesn't show it. Why did I even ask her, I knew it was a bad idea… "Okay, okay!" I must have sent her a powerful glare seeing as how quick she stops laughing at me. "Look, just be yourself and everything should be fine. I mean, Scott loves you like this, why is mother would not?" Logical. She should really become a shrink.

"Yeah, maybe but still-" I'm pushing her too mush, I know it. But I have to see what she really thinks of this.

"Hey, hey, I seriously think nothing will change Scott's mind about you. I don't know why, but he loves you like no one else does. Trust him Shel." Wait, wait, what does it mean she doesn't know why he loves me? I mean, that's obvious, I'm a perfect fit in his life!

"Yeah, but I'm the only one who doesn't know his mother. I mean, all the Cliffhangers do, and she even met Tina." I'm so sad I didn't meet her earlier when we still were at Horizon…I only met his father and it didn't really go very well. In fact he almost ignored me.

"I don't know what to tell you Shel. But she seemed nice and open, and I think all she wants is to see her son happy. And you make him happy. Everyone can see it." It's not fair; she always has the right things to say.

"Thank you Dais." I have to admit it; she's the best!

Hey, next one should be up quickly, like tomorrow or even today!

Please R&R...
