Heya!
So, I'm really into the whole "writing" thing at the moment. Its half term- what can I say? Nothing better to do.
Right. Please review, and thanks for reading my little old story that you'd probably thought I'd abandoned. So did I, for a bit. But I'm back. For today at least.
Get on with the story…
I dunna own anything.
Chapter 17: Lie awake
And later on I'm crying my stupid eyes out
Later on I'm crying like a baby,
And yeah, baby don't get so disappointed,
That I'm not what you anticipated
(Kate Nash- Later On)
She eventually broke off the kiss, and stumbled off down her driveway, stopping to give me one last wave before I drove off.
Perfect. Perfect day with the perfect girl.
I drove home slowly after my day out with Kim, with a massively stupid grin on my face. I couldn't even be bothered to wipe it off my face.
"Hi, mum" I called, as soon as I entered the house. I knew she was awake- she always stayed up for me.
"Jared! I'm in here!"
I followed her voice to the dining room, where she was sitting at the table, looking through a magazine with a tired expression on her face. She looked up as I walked in the room.
"Hi".
"Hello. Jared, honey, you look so happy. What's happened? Was it… what was her name…was it Kate? I can't remember. I'm sorry, honey" My mum said.
"Kim, mum. Kim. Yeah. She kissed me" I told her, blushing, and then wondered if I should have actually opened my mouth at all. That was a really stupid thing to tell her. She was my mum for crying out loud. What was I going to do next? Ask that she take out old baby photos to show me?
God, I was a weird touchy- feely emotional guy.
"Oh, Jared!" She crooned. I knew she'd take this as an opportunity to try and connect with me. I love my mum, I really do, but still… it's awkward when she wants to talk about your love life.
"Oh, my little boy's all grown up! I can't believe it! Oh, it seems like just yesterday you were running around with your little red fire truck. Do you remember that? You had this little fire truck, that you always used to-"I cut her off. I truly did not want her to say anything else. I heard this story before, about how cute I was, and stuff like that.
I really regretted telling her anything.
"Ok, mum. Thanks. G'night. Love you" I said, as I left the room, cheeks even more red now that she'd started off with all the embarrassing baby stories as well.
I retreated into my room, heading straight for the bed, trying to fall asleep as soon as possible- I had patrol in a few hours time.
As I drifted off to sleep, I though about Kim. What was she doing now? I'd really like to be with her, and do whatever she was doing with her. That would be great.
I shut my eyes, and fell asleep still in my clothes, the picture of Kim's smiling face behind my eyelids.
Awwww! Jared's such a catch *wink wink*
Thanks for reading, and I hope you liked the special conversation with Jared and his mum. The next chapter should be up really soon, though. If you're very lucky, you'll have a three chapter update today.
Lots of love,
