Bay POV:
As I slid along the wall outside my house I kind of felt like a sexy, high heeled, ninja. I just had to get to my car. After that I could just say I was in a rush and had to go. My feet touched the first step and the loud 'clank' seemed to echo all around me. Crap. I had just reached the last step on the stairs, my car in plain sight, when I heard it.
"Bay! Wait up honey!" Regina sounded a little frazzled, and the shock of hearing her voice and not my mom's I froze.
"What is it?" Her face was kind so the butterflies sprouting in my stomach stopped fluttering. She squatted on her stoop in the same fashion she had when she decided to give me the "sex with Ty" talk. I sighed, looked at the time on my cell phone and then sat down next to her. Melody had asked Emmett to invite me over for dinner. I was really nervous, but ready to get it over with. I guess hoping I could sneak out without getting the third degree from anyone was too much to hope for.
"I heard you're going over to get to meet Melody a little better," she began cautiously. I fought the urge to roll my eyes.
"I'm hoping for the best. According to Emmett she doesn't hate me anymore because I stood up to her. Who knew all I needed to do was snap at her?"
"That's not exactly it Bay. You just kind of showed her how important Emmett was to you. Melody can respect that. And listen…I promised I wouldn't say anything but blood triumphs friendship…Melody plans on feeling you out a little tonight." Well, thank you captain obvious.
"Don't back down to her no matter what." Her lips were pursed in a small frown as if she were thinking. "But try not to be overly affectionate towards Emmett in front of her. No mother wants to see that."
It should have been an obvious statement, but I appreciated the tip.
"Alright, thanks for the tip mo—Regina." I said, stopping myself in the nick of time. I got up from the small stoop, mildly embarrassed by my slip of the tongue, and returned her gentle smile. This was going to be an interesting night.
