Chapter 11

Chloe bit her lip, a strange feeling of nervous energy filling her.

'What the fuck is wrong with me, it's only dinner...' She thought to herself.

Yet here she was, waiting anxiously for the knock at the door. Her therapy was actually proceeding well and she was starting to feel better. Now however, she was facing something unexpected. Namely, Rachel was coming around for dinner, it would be the four of them, her and Rachel, her mother and David. Chloe quickly looked down at her clothes again, making sure they were alright, said clothes consisted of ripped jeans and white T-shirt with a raven design on it, as well as her usual sneakers.

'Strange how I only get nervous about how I look around Rachel?' Chloe mused as she absently ran her fingers through her hair.

"Chloe."

She turned to see her mother standing there, and David with her, both also dressed casually. Bother wearing jeans, David in a dark coloured shirt and her mother in a navy blue blouse. Before she could say anything however, at that exact moment, there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it." Chloe said quickly.

She turned and went to answer it and smiled when she saw Rachel there. Chloe was almost speechless as she observed Rachel, she wore her usual jeans, sneakers and even her feathered earring, her T-shirt was dark in colour but as far as Chloe was concerned, like everything Rachel owned, she looked awesome in it.

It did not take long after Rachel's entrance into the house for everything to be set up and soon they were all seated at the dining table.

"Well, thanks for having me over." Rachel said with a warm smile.

Joyce grinned. "Of course Rachel; it's always a pleasure."

David nodded, also smiling, Chloe swallowed the mouthful of food she had before talking.

"Yeah, we should, maybe do this, more often." She suggested.

Her statement was met with interest and approval and Chloe just smiled. All the while observing David and his behaviour.

'He's actually not said anything...that would make him look like a dick, guess he's trying to behave himself in front of company.' Chloe thought in amusement. 'Wonder how long that'll last.'

The thought was soon driven from her mind though by something else.

"I must say, it's wonderful to see Chloe smiling again like this." Her mother remarked. "Ever since you came into her life Rachel, it's..."

Chloe rolled her eyes. "Urgh, mom, don't get all mushy on me now."

Joyce just smiled. "But it's so long since I've seen you happy Chloe, you always used to be so happy, all those years ago..."

Knowing exactly what her mother meant, Chloe reacted at once. "Oh, no way, mom, do not go there."

Rachel just laughed and leaned on the table, her left hand cupped next to her mouth and she conspiratorially whispered, loud enough for Chloe to hear.
"If this is the part where we get to the embarrassing baby stories, I'm game to listen."

Chloe crossed her arms and turned her head away, huffing at this, unable to believe what was happening right next to her. David lowered his glass and just smirked, while Joyce also smiled and leaned a little closer to Rachel, likely ready to begin some story that Chloe was sure would embarrass her.


Rachel was still grinning as she stood by the door, getting ready to leave. Chloe was sure her face was still beet red.

"Urgh, can't believe mom did that." She muttered.

Rachel just shrugged. "I thought it was sweet."

"You would."

Rachel shook her head. "Would it make you feel any better if you heard some similar stories about me?"

Chloe looked at Rachel suspiciously as she replied. "Maybe?"

"Then next time you're round for dinner, bring the subject up, I'm sure my folks would be happy to oblige."

Chloe sighed; she might have guessed she wouldn't get her 'revenge' right away. Still she contented herself with that and she and Rachel softly kissed, glad the night had gone well for both of them.
