Three days later Suze POV
I sat in the living room with my mom, she had somehow managed to get Andy out of the house, Jake was at work, Dave upstairs, and Dopey, who knows. I couldn't look at her so I settled for my my thumbs which I was twittling. 'Hm I wonder if I should have went ith the light pink instead of the blue...' I shook my head, now was definantly not the time to be thinking about my nailpolish. I focused on the portraits on the wall and began to rock the chair listening intently to the creaking it made on the hardwood floor. My mom looked at me with a worried expression.
"Susie, honey, are you alright?"
I snapped my head up and winced slightly in pain. I answered her rubbing the back of my neck, " yeah I'm fine, super in fact. I mean why shouldn't I be ok? I have nothing to worry about right? Right of..."
"Susie!" I instantly stopped my rambling, something I tend to do when I'm nervous.
I cleared my throat, closed my eyes, took a very deep breath and answered. "I'm fine, sorry."
She leaned over and patted my knee, "you don't have to worry. If he's everything you said he is then I'll have no problem with him. Well I mean he is a bit older but your mature enough so I don't think it'll be a problem."
I gave her a bright smile a relaxed a bit. My nerves however were immediatly jumbled again when I heard the doorbell ring.
I stood up and smoothed out my black skirt which ended slightly above the knee, designer of course. I matched it with a pink shirt. I walked to the door, my black sandles sounding on the floor. I opened it to see Jesse standing there in black slightly baggy sorta dressy pants, and a red button down short sleeved shirt. He gave me a smile which I readily returned and we walked into the living room together.
When we walked in I noticed my mom had moved into the chair I was sitting in, 'Andy's Chair ', leaving the couch for me and Jesse. We sat and while he was turning off his cell, my mother gave me a look and mouthed 'wow '. I swear if one could die from blushing I would have died ten times.
My mom cleared her throat, much like she does when she has 'breaking news'. I mean sure in New York, but here whats the worst that can happen its gonna be 60 degrees all day? I said that once and got 'the look'.
I was brought from my thoughts when she started talking.
"So Jesse, I hear your in college. What are your plans for the future?"
He smiled politely. "Well I want to be a Doctor, a Pediatrician to be exact."
My mother practically gushed. Someone just shoot me now.
"Thats just wonderful!"
He smiled modestly and said, "I'm still saving but I hope to achieve my goal someday. I also want to buy a house for my parents."
"Any siblings?"
He smiled fondly. " I have four sisters. Two older two younger. My older sisters are both married, one lives in Spain the other in Texas. They are Mercy and Charity. My younger sisters are Isabel and Catalina. Isabel is in 9th grade, and Catalina is in 3rd."
"You speak fondly of them."
"My sisters are very important to me. Those I care about mean the world to me." As he said that last sentence he looked at me. I turned pink and smiled.
My mother smiled. "When Susie first told me about you I must say I was aprehensive considering where you live. But back in New York we did live in a worse neighborhood, so I told myself to keep an open mind. I'm glad I did. I think you're absolutly wonderful for my daughter and you both have my blessing."
Jesse gave me the worlds brightest smile which I couldn't help but return.
"Now all we have to do is work on Andy and Jake."
"I'm sure it'll work out, they'll trust our judgement." My mother and I shared a laugh.
Jesse's pager went off and his cheeks turned slightly pink. He apologized and went off to call back whoever paged him.
"So, mom, you really like him?"
"Oh honey, he's perfect, and quite the looker, I'm very happy for you."
He came back in with a worried expression.
"I'm so sorry, but I have to go. Catalina fell out of a tree and hurt her arm. My mother can't drive and my father is out of town. I have to take her to the ER."
My mother shook her head. "You don't have to be sorry! Go ahead and take care of your sister."
He gave a slight smile, he always worried himself sick when it came to Catalina since she's the youngest.
He made his way over in three strides, keys in hand, and kissed me on the cheek.
"I'll see you soon quierda."
I smiled at him and told him to tell Catalina I said hi and to feel better. He nodded his head and with a final goodbye he left.
My mother looked at me. "Whats quierda mean?"
I blushed and said, "well he won't tell me except that its a term of affection, and well his sisters giggle and go 'awww' everytime he says it to me."
She gave a sigh and said, " ahh to be young and in love."
I blushd for like the 100th time that day, but didn't bother trying to correct her any. What she said was true, I do love Jesse. I just hope Andy and Jake can agree with her.
