Chapter 20 – Meet The ParentsI was awakened by a light tapping on my window. It could barely be heard with the heavy rain pouring down like stones. I hesitantly got up from my warm bed and looked outside. What I saw startled me and I fell back. I looked out again, and sure enough he was there. I opened the window and leaned out a bit.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I hissed into the night.
"I came to see you." Manfred smiled. His clothes and hair were soaked from the rain. Didn't this guy ever use an umbrella?
"This late?" I asked, worried I might've woken up mum or Amie.
He shrugged his shoulders. I sighed.
"Let me unlock the front door. Don't go anywhere!" I said as he nodded.
I creaked open my door and crept through the hallway. First I checked on Amie. She was fast asleep and I didn't expect her to wake up any time soon. Then I checked on Mum. She was also in a deep sleep. I crept downstairs and unlocked the front door to see Manfred shivering and trying very hard to smile. I pulled him in and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. Despite his time choice, I was glad he was here.
"I missed you." He whispered in my ear, making me smile. I pulled away and grabbed his hand. I pulled him upstairs to my room. I closed the door and let go of his hand as he laughed. His shirt was all wet, and he started to take it off. I sat on my bed, trying not to stare at his chest. He soon followed and sat opposite me on the bed.
"So, what are you doing here?" I asked, as he sighed.
"My dad and great-granddad just keep bothering me and asking questions and I just needed to get away from it all…is that okay with you?"
"Yeah, sure, stays as long as you like, just make sure you're gone by morning."
"Okay, Thanks." He replied.
He lay next to me on the bed and we both stared into each other's eyes. He told me about his family and I told him about mine, whilst I traced the lines of his chest with my finger. Soon enough, he fell asleep and I didn't want to wake him, so I let him sleep there for the night. His arms were wrapped around me, with made me feel safe and comforted. I closed my eyes. It didn't take very long for me to fall asleep.
I was startled when the door slammed open, and I snapped open my eyes and sat bolt upright. There was my little sister, Amie, standing in the doorway.
"Morning Summer!" She sang, as mum caught up with her and grabbed her hand.
"Sorry, Sum, this cheeky little monkey is running all over the…" She started. She paused mid sentence and stared at he figure next to me, who was just waking up. He sat up and looked from me to my family and back to me again. All I could do was look down guiltily. Mum didn't like me having guys in my room unless she knew about it.
"…Place." She finished quietly.
Mum stared at me accusingly, and with a hint of anger in her expression.
Amie just stared at Manfred's chest, before screaming, "My eyes!" and running off. Although she was usually very mature for her age, she could be really immature sometimes.
"Mum, I know what you're thinking, but it's not what it looks like." I tried to say.
I got up and walked towards them. I stopped just outside my door and closed it. Mum had her arms folded.
"Wanna tell me what it is then?" She asked. I could tell she was trying to keep calm instead of screaming at me.
"He came over for a while because he wanted to escape his family and he must've fallen asleep before he could leave."
"Right…and who is…he?"
"…Manfred Bloor…"
When I said the name, I thought I saw mum's eyes flash red and bulge.
"Manfred Bloor…MANFRED BLOOR?" She yelled with rage, whilst I just stood there like a scorned chid.
"The same guy who put you in hospital, oh I dunno, like not so long ago?" She continued.
"He didn't mean to. It was an accident!" I yelled back, startling mum a bit. We both stayed silent, both on edge.
"So what, are you two together now?" She asked, breaking the silence.
"Yes." I replied.
"How long have you been together?"
God, what was with all the questions?
"Since yesterday." I said quietly.
"And you're already sleeping together?" She questioned, raising her eyebrows.
"No! It's not like that."
"What were you two doing in there anyway?"
"Nothing! Nothing happened, okay? He just slept over, that's all, I swear." I replied, slightly frustrated.
"Alright then." She said, as she walked off, leaving me staring after her.
I made my way back to my room, shutting the door behind me.
"Everything alright?" Manfred asked.
"Yeah." I replied.
"Look, I don't wanna cause any trouble between you and your family."
"You aren't." I walked to the bed and sat down. I wrapped my arms around his neck and stared at his eyes.
"Look, maybe I should go." He said quietly.
"No! Don't go…please?"
He sighed and nodded his head. I got up, as he pulled his shirt on. We walked downstairs, hand in hand. Mum and Amie were in the kitchen making breakfast. When they saw us, I saw Mum's face soften a bit and she was trying very hard not to smile and Amie just giggled.
"Summer, Manfred, Join us for breakfast!" Mum said, as I smiled. I was glad she was accepting it now.
"I'm gonna go change first, but you go ahead." I said to Manfred, pushing him forward a bit, before running upstairs. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. After that, I dried myself off with a towel and changed into a baggy sleeveless top and blue jeggings.
When I reached the kitchen, I was shocked by the sight. Manfred and my mum chatting and laughing, and Amie was sitting in the chair opposite to Manfred, trying to get his attention.
When Mum saw me she walked to me and grabbed my arms and pulled me gently to the next room.
"Hey. I just wanted to say I'm sorry about earlier. I was so quick to judge. But he is a really nice guy and I think you might have made a good choice."
"Thanks mum." I smiled and hugged her.
We made our way back to the kitchen, where Manfred was teaching Amie tricks with a pack of cards.
Manfred spent the whole day at our house and stayed for dinner as well, after mum invited him. He spent most weekends at our place. We managed to keep it a secret that we were going out at school, but we were planning on telling everyone soon. It has been nearly two months we had been going out, after all. When it was Friday, Manfred came over for dinner. I was glad Manfred, Mum and Amie were getting on so well. I was quite excited, as there wasn't gonna be any school for two weeks because of the holidays.
"Manfred, dear, we've got a spare ticket and we were wondering if you're doing anything during the holidays because on Sunday we're going to a beach resort in Florida and I'm sure we'd all like you to be there." Mum said at dinner. I nearly choked on my food as she said this. I didn't expect her to invite him on holiday with us.
"Really?" I asked, trying not to show my excitement.
"Yeah." Mum replied.
"Umm…Okay…If that's alright with you guys." He replied, a bit startled.
"Great! Then it's settled. Just be here on Sunday by 10am." Mum said in a chirpy tone, and we all carried on with dinner.
R-E-V-I-E-W-!Don't be shy. It's not as if I'm gonna hunt you down and eat you. Yay, I get to help organise my uncle's wedding :)
