Oh The Weather Outside is Frightful

Dean told me that no one had ever told his story before. I felt bad for him & agreed it was time for people to know it. He might be boring but there are reasons and he demands to be heard. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed telling it. Please be kind, this is my first fan fiction story.

Chapter 7 - Mother Has Her Say

Amanda couldn't believe she was home at 8pm after having a date. Dotty was even more shocked. She had just sat down with a cup of tea and a good romance novel when Amanda walked through the door.

"Why are you home already? Did it not go well?"

"Mother, I'm still not sure. Dean seemed to be enjoying himself but when I suggested going to a Jazz club, he suddenly said he was tired and wanted to end the evening."

"Well dear, sometimes Men can be funny. Maybe he was afraid of overstaying his time with you. He seemed like a very nice man, a little odd but nice"

"Yes Mother, he does seem nice. I'm not sure he is really my type but he is definitely nice enough and has a stable job and is dependable but I don't know if I'm ready to begin dating anyway. It has only been a few months since the divorce."

"Amanda, how will you ever know if you are ready to begin dating again if you don't go out on dates?"

Amanda smiled to herself. "Yes Mother. I think I'm going to go on up to my room and read a bit before I go to bed. Goodnight"

"Good Night Dear."

Meanwhile over at the McGuire home, Dean arrived home and parked the BMW in the garage. As he came into the house, his Mother was sitting on the living room sofa waiting for his return.

"You are back early Dean. I'm glad you listened to me. Did you have a good evening?"

"Yes Mother, it was a very nice evening."

"Are you going to tell me where you have been? It isn't like you to keep secrets from me"

"I'm sorry Mother. I met a lovely lady while I was in the hospital and I asked her to go out with me tonight. I took her out for dinner and I really like her. I hope you will like her too. I didn't mean to keep it a secret but I have been really nervous about going out with her."

"Nervous or ashamed?"

"MOTHER! She is a wonderful woman. She lives in the Suburbs and has 2 young boys. She recently got divorced and is ready to move on"

"Oh no, it is worse than I thought. Dean, what are you doing with a divorced woman? She knows you have money, doesn't she? She even has children! Oh Dean, what are you thinking? This will never work. What has happened to you? Did I not love you enough? Why do you feel the need to hook up with a woman who has so much baggage?"

"It isn't like that at all Mother. She is very nice and she is very beautiful. She makes me happy. I'm going to keep seeing her so I hope you will respect that."

Dean's Mother let out a loud sigh "Very well. We will have to have her over for dinner one night then."

Dean nodded and announced that he is going to his room as he has a long day ahead of him tomorrow. After getting comfortable in his King sized Bed, he thought back to the nice evening he had with Amanda. Yes, this just might be the woman of his dreams. Now, he just had to convince her that they should begin dating exclusively as they were both too old to wait too long.
