Skinny Love

12.| Meeting

"Not everything," I joke.

She laughs, "And you're not mad?"

"Of course not."

A lot of people wouldn't like their mother dated another man less than 2 years after their father died. But, I don't really care. If she wants to date and has met someone she likes enough for me to meet, then I don't really care.

"When can I meet him?"

Well shit.

When I asked my mom when I could met him, I didn't expect her to call him and make plans to have dinner tonight.

I don't even know what I'm going to wear. Oh no. I'm meeting my mom's boyfriend for the first time and I am going to ruin it.

Ding.

I should probably tell Ryden about Tom.

"So where are you guys going?"

I tell her the name of the restaurant Tom is taking my mom and I, which happens to be one of the most expensive in the town.

"Shiiiii so he's like rich rich."

"He's a neurosurgeon." I say gingerly.

"Damnnnn, let's find you something nice to wear then."

It only took Ry 3 minutes to find an outfit I couldn't.

I have 20 minutes.

"Okay I'll let you get ready. Send me pics when you're done." She smiled, grabbing her stuff and leaving my room.

"Of course."
