The following Thursday I had finally met Nero's mom.
Nero and I had planned an over night trip out to Fortuna. We both agreed it'd be nice, plenty of stuff to do and nice weather to boot.
My boyfriend however insisted he probably wouldn't be able to go. I'd come to find that his mother was particularly over protective. So I agreed to talk to her and reassure her Nero was in good hands.
And…not that I'd ever admit it, but…I was immensely nervous.
Mrs. Alboeques had practically skipped into the room, smiling, and singing. She was indeed a sight to behold, long red hair that shined in all the right places with big brown eyes that weren't tainted with eyeliner or other unnecessary things. She was pale like Nero, something he had apparently inherited from her.
All in all she looked more like Nero's older sister then his mother.
"You must be Virgil! I've heard so much about you, you're all he talks about!" She gave me a comforting hug for telling me to have a seat. "Would you like something to drink? We have orange juice, soda, milk, and lemonade."
I smiled at her hospitality. I wish my parents acted the way she did. "No thank you Mrs. Alboeques, I'm fine."
"Oh hun, call me Kyrie."
"Alright Kyrie. I assume Nero told you about the trip?"
"Oh yes, yes, he's been going on about it all this week. And don't get me wrong, I think it's a great idea, I'm just worried. No has a few different medications he has to take and if I'm not around to remind him then it'll be forgotten."
I looked over at Nero, who was looking a bit less cheery then usual. I had seen him take his medication on a few different occasions but he never actually wanted to talk about what they were for. So I usually let the conversation slip but now…now I'm a bit worried.
"Kyrie, what if I reminded him?"
"Well…I suppose that would be okay…I'm trusting you Virgil, keep my boy safe."
"So I can go?" Nero crowed happily.
"Yes…just stay out of trouble."
Nero didn't even get to hear the last part. He had already ran up stairs to pack.
I decided to try and make the chapters longer
