Don’t worry, they didn’t have sex. I said.

“Oh…good…”

She breathed a sigh of relief, and continued talkin’.

“Putting that aside, he shouldn’t be involved with someone who would treat you that way, we’ve taught you boys better than that. She insisted.

I could hear the disappointment buildin’ in her voice.

It’s not his fault…he didn’t know, and once I told ‘em he said he’d make sure she knew it’s never gonna happen again. I told her, not wantin’ Glen to get in trouble.

“Good” She said lettin’ go of some of that disappointment. She still doesn’t approve of his transgressions with girls though.

She paused for a moment to look at me. I guess that’s how she knew there was, scratch that…is somethin’ else botherin’ me…

“Is there anythin’ else ya need to talk ‘bout?” She asks.

I’m ‘fraid if I tell ya you and Dad won’t wanna let Ash stay here if she needs too. I admitted

"Spence, nothin’ will make us unwillin’ to help someone in need…whatever it is you can tell me.”

I was nervous as hell…almost as much as when Ashley and I kissed.

When Christine, interrupted our good time we were in the middle of seein’ what the feelin’s we’re havin’ mean anythin’ so we decided to try a kiss. I confessed.

She smiled

Awww! I’m happy for ya, Spence! Why‘d ya think that would make us not want her to stay here? She asked.

‘Cause if we become a couple would ya really want my girlfriend spendin’ the night, or what if Christine goes completely evil…would ya still let her live here? I said not expectin’ anythin’ good.

“We probably wouldn’t let her sleep in here with ya, but I agree with your father…She’s always welcome here!” She reassured me.

Thanks Mom, I needed to hear that! I said honestly.

“You’re welcome, sweetie!”

She kissed me on the forehead, we exchanged I love you’s, and she left.
