Taming Nicholas

Chapter Nine

Nicholas jumped off the bike and caught me by the waist and lifted me off his motorcylce.I thanked him and looked up at his house. He grinned and spread out his hands as if saying " Ta Da!"

"You live here?" I asked.

"Yep. You like?" He said still grinning.

I looked back at the house. It was huge, like a mansion. It was painted royal blue, it had a beautiful garden and it was so....HUGE.

"It so big." I exclaimed.

He laughed," Did you think I was poor?" 

"What? No! You drive a motorcycle. Your one of the popular kids and they are usually the rich kids. And you dress nice and smell nice. Of course I didnt think you were poor."

He chuckled," So why that look on your face?"

"I dont know....You live in a mansion."

"No I do not...well kinda..."

"Don't boast." I hit on the arm lightly. He grinned and said, " Come on."

He brought me up the door and got a key from under the pot of a plant on the porch and opened it.

"Mom! I brought her home!" He shouted as he stepped inside.

Wait what?!

A scream came from umm... somewhere in the mansion. My mouth was still open from gawping at the magnificent sight of the interior of the house. Suddenly I saw a figure running to me then all I could see was hair. Long blond hair, in my face and in my mouth. I quickly shut my mouth before anything else flew in there. I felt hands go around me and I was pulled into a hug.

"I'm so glad to finally meet you!" the figure hugging me said. It was a woman. Well duh. Did I just tell myself duh? Oh right back to the point.

"Ummm...I'm glad to see you too." I said.

The woman laughed and hugged me tighter, then she pulled away.

"Nick has told me about you so much." She continued.

Nicholas blushed and said," Melissa this is my mom."

"Hi." I said shyly.

"Hello dear. There is no need to be shy around me." Nick's mom said cheerfully.

"Uhhh...ok." I said, blushing.

"Awww..." She cooed, " Nick you were right,she is so cute."

My eyes widened and I giggled when I saw Nicholas blush. I felt my cheeks heat up as well.

"Mom!" Nick blushed and ran his hand through his hair, making it stand up at end." I did not say that!"

"Ummm...uhhhh...of course not, I was joking." She said laughing nervously.

"Nice save mom." Nicholas said sarcastically.

"Why thank you,son." She said." Now Melissa, can I call you Mel? Right so, Mel come on into the kitchen."

She took my hand, and escorted me in the opposite direction. I looked at Nick for help, but he just shrugged and went towards the huge staircase to go upstairs. Oh, great. He left me alone with his more than enthusiastic mother.

We reached the kitchen and again my mouth fell open. It was beautiful. Wonderfully made counter tops, cupboards and island made from the finest wood, I'm sure.

"You like? Of course you like. Its wonderful." Nick's mom said.

"Its wonderful Ms.." I paused. What should I call her?
