"Did you just kiss Ashley?" Uh-oh.

"Ummm, no?" Ok, that sounded more like a question.

"Yes you did, Spencer. Don’t you even try lying."

"Mom…"

"You may be 18, but she is still your teacher! She could lose her job, and maybe get arrested!" Ooooo now she’s mad.

"Mom…"

"Not that I mind, because I know Ashley has a heart of gold. She would never hurt you. Do you have any idea how bad this is?"

"Bad? Why is it bad?"

"Like I said before, she’s your teacher!"

"Mom…"

"I don’t want you to see her."

"What?"

"You heard me. Now, look, I’m sorry, but I don’t want to put either of you in jepordy."

"Mom, please! That’s not fair!"

"I know, but you two just can’t do this right now."

"Mom…"

"No, what I say goes. No seeing Ashley in a more than friendly way."

I sigh and give up. I know I’m not going to win. "Ok."

"Now, after you graduate, is a different story. You won’t be her student anymore. In a month or two, if you still want to see her after that, be my guest. So try not to be to sad." Mom smile. I love this women. Running up to her, I wrap her in a tight hug.

"Thank you , thank you, thank you! I love you, mom."

Laughing she tucks a lock of hair behind my ear. "I love you too honey."

"So your ok with me being gay?" I pull away from the hug.

"Of course. And I’m acually glad you chose Ashley. I’d trust her with my life. As much as she bothered me when I was teaching, she is an amazing girl. Don’t let her go."

Giving her a huge smile, I asure her, "I don’t plan on it."

"It’s late. Get to bed."

"Ok, mom. Night."

"Good night. And remember, no seeing Ashley!" She yelled as I jogged up the stairs. Pst, yeah right.
