Unexpected

2.

Ashton

I ringed the doorbell from the house that Diane told me was hers. It was a pretty decent house in a good neighbourhood.

A young girl, maybe around 17 years old opened the door with a angry look on her face. "You here for my mom?"

"Yes i am." I put my hand forward to introduce myself but she rolled her eyes and stepped away from the door.
I put my hand back down and followed her inside.

I sat down on the couch while the girl stood in the doorway leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed. She definitely looked like the type of kid you would walk a big circle around on the street because you're afraid they might attack you. She had long black hair that she had put in a loose ponytail, she had a nose piercing and was wearing big ripped mom jeans with a black crop top and a flannel over it.

"So, uhm what's your name?" I asked hesitantly.

She moved closer to me and looked me sternly in my eyes."What are you're intentions with my mother?"

I felt myself getting sweaty and let out a nervous laugh. "What do you mean?"

"Do you plan on taking her on a second date or are you just trying to get into her pants?"

Damm this girl really wasn't one to joke around with. "All my intentions with your mom are good and honest. I truly think your mom is a wonderful person, i would really like to get to know her better and of course her family."

She looked me up and down one more time and then put her hand forward.

I shook it.

"Becky Underwood" She said shaking my hand. I also introduced myself but she didn't let go of my hand. She tightened her grip and pulled my closer towards her.

"If you even lay one unwanted hand on her or even think about breaking her heart i will personally make sure you'll regret doing that." She whispered in my ear.

She let go of my hand and stepped away from me. Just as she was leaving the room she turned back around "Oh and one more thing. Don't forget to use protection." She said with a big smile.

I definitely wanted to say something back but when i opened my mouth Diane come downstairs. "I'm ready! Sorry for the wait, i lost track of time."

I got up and gave her big smile, "You look stunning."

We both got into to the car i finally let myself relax, i let that kid walk all over me. Diane noticed my hesitation in starting the car and asked "Is there something wrong?"

"No everything is fine." I started up the car and backed out of the driveway.

"Becky said something, didn't she?" Diane asked me.

"Yeah, she kinda interrogated me about what my intentions were and such."

"I'm sorry if she made you feel uncomfortable. It's has been a difficult year for her and me, bringing a strange man into house must have been hard for her. I'm sure that if you get know her you'll see how nice she can be." She explained with a soft voice and layed her hand on my knee.

I placed my hand on hers. "You're right. I can't wait to get to know you better and your family."

Becky

My freedom didn't last long, 15 minutes after Ashton and my mom had left my brother was dropped off by his mother's friend. He came home excited and still full of energy.

"Where's mama?" He yelled at me as soon as he entered the house.

"On a date with her new friend."
