1 Guy, 1 Girl and an Overprotective Mother chapter 3
Dana didn't want to talk to his mother; but, he decided to anyway just to tell her off. He met up with her near his nest. Diana smiled at him as if nothing was wrong. That made Dana very annoyed.
"Hello Mother," Dana said.
Diana was shocked; she saw the look in Dana's eyes and felt chills going through her body.
"Is Dad around?" Dana asked.
Diana shook her head; too stunned to speak.
"Good; because this is a conversation that should stay between us," Dana snarled.
Diana nodded.
"Honey; I know you're-" Diana started.
"Don't call me honey; I'm furious with you; it hurts me to think you love Dinah more than me; you let her have a boyfriend while I can't date; that makes absolutely no sense if we're twins!" Dana replied.
Diana started getting angry at Dana for talking to her like that.
"Don't sass me Dana; I'm your mother and I know what's best for you," Diana scolded.
"No you don't; you've been nothing but an ass to me ever since I told you about a girl I have a crush on; it's just an innocent crush for crying out loud; I'm a grown threehorn and I can take care of myself," Dana retorted.
As Dana started walking away, Diana rushed ahead to get in his way. She narrowed her eyes in fury at her son; she wasn't used to him calling her names other than Mother or Mom.
"As of this moment Dana; you're grounded; no leaving the nest without my permission and you're going to apologize for the way you talked to me," Diana demanded.
Dana scoffed.
"I'm not going to apologize to you until you apologize for being an ass," Dana snarled.
Suddenly, Dante heard Dana confronting with Diana and rushed over. He faced his son with an angry expression on his face. The young adult faced his dad with the same angry expression.
"Dad; tell Mother that I'm a grown threehorn and I can take care of myself; I don't need her to protect me from getting a broken heart; she overreacted when I told her about a crush I have on a girl," Dana told him.
Dante shook his head.
"I heard what you said to your mother; apologize to her at once!" Dante demanded.
"Not until she apologizes to me," Dana retorted.
Dante shook his head; he wasn't used to having his wife and son fight.
"Then you can stay at the nest until you make things right with your mother; someone will bring your meals for you; and you won't be getting sweet bubbles or tree sweets during this time either," Dante claimed.
Dana snorted.
"I don't need dessert Dad; it's something hatchlings and younglings demand to get after their meals," Dana claimed.
This conversation was angering Dana even more; he walked away from his parents. Dante and Diana looked at each other in confusion.
"I don't know what his problem is; I always thought I was a good mother," Diana said.
Dante sighed.
"You are a good mother, dear; but, attitude aside, Dana does have a point; he is a grown threehorn and you can be overprotective; after all, Dinah does have a boyfriend and you seemed to have no problem with that; why is it so different with Dana? Think about it," Dante told her.
Diana walked off to think about what Dante had told her.
