Now I’M Nothing PT 13

On the way to Avis to pick up a rental for the rest of the week. I gave Carmen a call letting her know what was what and how I’d be there to get her in hour or so. I decided to leave things in her hands about how she wanted to spend today. When she suggested "how bout we go to mom’s house?" I almost chocked on my coffee.

“Your mom’s house are you for real? Doesn’t your mom hate me?”

“No, yes. Well I am not sure anymore. We haven’t really talked about you. We um haven’t really talked about much, let alone you.”

“Well look if you have to catch up with your mom we can meet later for pizza or something.”

“Shane are you afraid to go to the house?”

“Your mom doesn’t want me anywhere near you.”

“Ok how about this then we go anyway we are friends right and friends hang out don’t they?”

“Carmen do friends have intense phone sex, or make out in elevators? Do you think it fair to your family to have me over when we are not sure where this is going or where we stand?”

“Look Shane only Mama is home everyone is away visiting my sick aunt, Mama stayed behind because this was the only window she had to see me. Besides she is just as mad at me as she is at you….. I don’t want to go alone please Shane?”

I hate it when she say’s please. It makes it hard for me to think rationally.

So I was on my way to get Carmen and see her mom.

Waiting for Shane and I am wondering what exactly am I going to say to Mama? I rehearse it in my mind. Something on the lines of hi or how are you? I am not waiting to long as Shane pulls up in a black Mustang one of the new one’s. She has a really silly look on her face, I am so glad to see her that I give her a kiss on the cheek, which quickly turns into s full on make out session, God I cant get enough of her. She stops and I almost had it timed. We kind of rest foreheads together.
