"Chase, c'mon!" Sam urged me as she pulled me out of her house using all her force.
But I didn't move an inch.
"No." I stated firmly.
We were standing on their front door. Sam was begging me to come out of her house and face my Mom who just arrived in our house. I was supposed to attend a victory party after our team won in the football game earlier but Sam dragged me and forced me to talk to my parents instead.
But I didn't have the guts to face my Mom.
"Chase, sooner or later, you have to face her!"
"No!"
"Chase, don't you want to know the truth?"
"Why don't you just tell me? You know the whole story, right?"
"Do I look like your parents? I'm not a part of your family so you should hear the story straight from them."
"But you'll be a part of my family soon when you become Mrs. Court." I mumbled looking at her brown eyes.
Her eyes softened at what I said.
"But right now, I'm not. So c'mon Chase." she repeated.
"Nope."
"CHASE NATHANIEL COURT, GET YOUR ASS OVER YOUR MOTHER'S HOUSE!" she snapped, losing her patience.
She actually thought that if she got mad, she's scare me? Wow. My girlfriend's so cute! My girl looked sexy and feisty when she tries to be mad at me. I was so turned on that I had a fucking hard on. I grinned.
Sam glared at me. Then she must have noticed my expression because I saw an evil glint in her eyes.
She walked closer to me and tiptoed as she reached up to kiss me on my lips. I immediately grabbed her waist and pressed my body against hers. I sucked her bottom lip, asking for entrance. But she pulled away.
"Tease." I groaned.
"No, I'm not. So is it still a no?" she asked while kissing my jaw down to my neck.
"Yes. I mean no! Well, what I mean to say is it's still a no."
But I was losing my resolve and Sam was aware of the power she has over me. Shit. I'm so whipped!
Then I gasped as she sucked my neck.
"Princess, are you giving me a hickey?"
"Just marking you so everyone knows you're mine." she stopped and smiled.
Then she observed her masterpiece in my neck.
"Can I give you one too?"
"No, baby. Only if you face your Mom now." she smirked against my skin.
She resumed on sucking my neck and I couldn't help but groan. It felt so good.
"But I wanma mark you so everyone knows you're mine too and that's better than threatening the boys to back off anyway."
She pulled back from me.
"What?"
Oh shit. I made a slip. She wasn't supposed to know that.
"What are you talking about, Chase?" she asked again.
"Nothing." I quickly replied.
"Don't you dare lie to me, Chase Nathaniel Court."
And there goes her serious tone, all traces of humor are gone. Sam would kill me if she found out the truth but she'd kill me too if I lied to her. Oh well. Since she'd kill me either way, I decided to go for the truth.
"Well?" she asked.
I rubbed my temples nervously.
"Well...I...uh...the time you hit your puberty, I threatened all the guys to back off because well...they started noticing how hot you are. Some said they want to get in your pants. Some said they want to ask you out. And in the locker room, I heard some guys talking about how beautiful, sexy and smart you are. So I sort of told them that you are mine and they're not good enough for you. I told them that if they ever think about hanging out with you, I wouldn't hesitate to kill them. I also told them that if you found out about our little talk, I'd make their lives a living hell."
I anxiously waited for her reaction.
She looked mad as she crossed her arms on her chest. I couldn't help but stare at her chest which was pretty big for a 16 year old girl.
"Eyes up here, big guy." she called and I immediately looked straight in her eyes.
I could stare at her all day and I wouldn't get bored. How come I've never realized how much I love her before?
"Chase, are you listening to me?" she snapped her fingers on my face.
I spaced out again. Good going, moron. You're making a fool of yourself in front of your girlfriend.
"What?" I asked.
She shook her head at me then to my surprise, she jumped into me. I grabbed her legs and wrapped it around me while she wrapped her arms around my neck. She was nuzzling my neck.
"You're not mad at me?" I asked.
"Nope." she smiled at me.
Our foreheads were touching.
"Why not?"
"I like it when you get possessive. Besides, I like being yours. Well, I admit, it did something to my self-esteem. I mean, I'm already 16 but no one ever asked me out yet. So I was kinda relieved when you told me that. I was beginning to think that no one ever asked me because they think I'm not pretty."
"You're not pretty, you're beautiful."
Her face lit up. I swear, she's the most beautiful thing I ever laid my eyes on.
"Baby, will you face your Mom? For me? Please?" she batted her eyelashes and pouted her lips.
I nodded, defeated.
She grinned at me and pecked my lips.
"Only if you go with me."
She thought for a moment then she nodded.
"Okay. Let's head off to Mom's."
She was about to pull away but I kept my hands on her.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"We'll go there this way."
"We'll go to your parents with you carrying me like this?"
She looked horrified at the idea.
"Yep."
"Put me down, Chase."
"Why?"
"I don't want a PDA in front of your parents."
"But my Mom have always known that there's something between us."
"Really?"
"Yep. She always teases me about you. I guess she can see that we're in love with each other even though we haven't admitted it yet."
"I'm glad that she's cool with us but I don't think now's the riht time for her to know. I want her to know when my parents arrive."
"You sure that's what you want?" I asked her.
She nodded so I put her down then we walked to our house which was across the Anderson's house.
I opened it, not bothering to knock.
My Mom was in the kitchen, cooking dinner, but she seemed lost at thought.
"Mom."
My Mom was startled at my voice then looked at me.
She ran to me and hugged me.
"Chase! Oh God! Where have you been? Why didn't you answer any of my calls or text messages? Is there something wrong? God! I missed you!"
She hugged me tight again. I hugged her back.
I pulled away.
"Mom...I met Dad."
She stopped for a moment and just stared at me.
"Is that why you've been so distant lately?"
"Mom, I want to know the whole truth."
"You haven't talked to your father yet?"
I shook my head.
"I guess we owe you the truth."
She sighed. "I'm sorry, Son. I really am. You grew up without a father because of me."
"Save your explanation later, Mom. I'm going to call...Daniel. We have to talk. The three of us."
She nodded then smiled when she turned to look at Sam and our hands.
Sam blushed and looked down. "Hey Lucy." she greeted my Mom.
"You know I can't do this without her, Mom."
"Why don't you guys take a seat and eat while we wait for your Dad?"
"You go seat, Princess. I'll just make a call."
She nodded and took a seat in the dining table.
I dialed Dad's number which Sam got from Jake.
The phone rung twice before he answered.
"Hello?" a deep voice answered.
"May I speak with Daniel, please?"
"Speaking. May I know who's this?"
'Don't cower now, Chase.' I thought.
"It's Chase."
There was a long pause.
"Are you ready to talk now, Son?"
I felt happiness when he called me son but I hid it as I answered yes and gave him the address to our house which I later found out from Jake isn't necessary since he actually goes to our neighborhood thrice a week just to watch me from afar.
We were done eating dinner and I was helping Sam wash the the dishes when the doorbell rung.
Mom came to get it.
Sam and I turned to look at the door and there stood my father. He and Mom were staring at each other.
"Daniel."
"Lucy."
"Come on in." Mom opened the door wider as Dad got in.
I held Sam's hand as we walked to the living room and sat on the couch in front of Dad and Mom.
They were obviously uncomfortable seating beside each other.
"So...why don't we start from the beginning?"
Mom and Dad related the story to me. I found out that Mom lost time for Dad because of work. And Dad cheated on Mom with a woman named Eleanor who's Jake's Mom. Mom didn't want me to find out that my father cheated on her and has another family so she lied about his death. The first thing I felt was relief. It felt good to know the truth. I suddenly felt whole. I felt like a puzzle with completed pieces. Then I felt pain because I grew up without a father. My parents lied to me. Mom and Dad also apologized to each other. Both parties admitted that they've done something wrong. The whole time they were telling the story, Sam held my hand and squeezed it to calm me down.
I understood everything. The happiness I felt is greater than the pain and anger.
"I'm really sorry, Chase. I just don't want you to get hurt." Mom sobbed.
I reached out and hugged her.
I rubbed her back, soothing her.
"Mom, I forgive you now, okay? I understand why you kept the truth from me."
We smiled at each other.
"Can I hug my son too?"
"I'm sorry for being a jerk, Dad."
"And I'm sorry for leaving you, Son."
I heard my Dad ask beside Mom. We hugged each other. I went back to seat beside Sam.
"This turned out better than I expected." Dad smiled.
We all nodded our heads in agreement.
"So, Chase. I'm expecting you to visit me at least thrice a week." Dad told me.
"Sure, Dad. I will visit you as often as I can."
"I better get going." Dad stood up.
We said our goodbyes then Dad left.
I never felt this whole and right then, I knew even if my family's broken, we're complete.
