It's been a month since I and Jake are together. We're not like other couples, hanging together, holding hands everywhere, kissing each other always. We're different. We hang out with each other every once in a while, the rest of the time we will be with our friends. It's difficult to be a bully's girlfriend but I love him with all of my heart. Although Sammy's not so happy with our relationship, she helps me whenever I needed her. We didn't even kiss yet. I mean, he wanted to but I refused. Today was one of those days too.
“What's wrong baby girl? Why don't you want to kiss me? You're killing me with this separation. Don't you want to be with me?” he asked me. And yeah he calls me baby girl like I am a child.
“It's not like that Jake. I love you. The problem is that I'm not comfortable kissing you in the open where everyone can see us. It's my first kiss and I want it to be private.” I explained to him.
“Hmm. I understand what you mean. I have to do something about it then.” He said, and I blushed, seeing how desperate he is for a kiss.
Two days later he asked me to meet him after school with Sammy and I did as he told me. Sammy didn't want to go at first, but I requested her to. We went to the park where he said he would wait, and we saw him standing there with a bag in his hand.
“Hey baby girl, how was your school today?” He asked.
“It was nice. So why did you ask us both to meet you?” I asked him.
“I have got a surprise for you…”
“Umm… What is it?” I don't like surprises.
“Someone wants to meet you, baby girl.” Now I'm curious.
“Who wants to meet me?”
“Well, I told my mom about us, and she wants to meet her future daughter-in-law.” He said with a smirk on his face.
“What? Are you sure? When?” I asked him nervously.
“I told her that you'll be free tomorrow, so you're skipping school tomorrow and meeting her. And I brought you this dress, wear it tomorrow, you'll look good.”
I'm literally shaking right now. I knew I had to meet his mom one day, but I never thought I would be this nervous when that day comes. What if she doesn't like me. Uhh… Why am I such a loser?
Yesterday Jake invited me to meet his mom, and I am freaking out. I'm pacing inside Sammy's room in nervousness. In a few moments, Jake would be here to take me.
“Would you calm down already!” Sammy ordered me.
“I can't, I'm too nervous. What if she doesn't like me? What if she asks Jake to break up with me? I can't do that, I love him too much. I'm not even wearing the dress he gave me. What if she doesn't like me in this dress?” I blabbered in a single breath.
Yes, I'm not wearing the dress Jake gave me, because it was backless and was showing all of my scars. Instead of that, I am wearing one of Sammy's knee-length, full sleeve floral dresses and sandals. This dress is beautiful but not like Jake's one. She suggested me not to wear my glasses there, so I didn't.
“It's his fault. He should have thought about that before giving it to you. And relax it's just her mom, not some queen for whom you have to dress up for. You look beautiful in everything.” Sammy comforted me.
“Thank you, Sammy. You're the best.” I gave her a hug and she sighed.
A Few minutes later the doorbell rang and we both knew it was him. We went downstairs to him where Sammy's mom was greeting him. I said bye to them and went with Jake.
Jake's house is one of the biggest mansions in this area. You have to go through a big gate and a huge garden to reach his front stairs. After a few stairs, you will reach a big wooden beautifully hand-carved door.
We went through the side gate which a security guard opened for us, across the stone pavement between the two sides of the beautiful garden. The way splits two ways from the middle of it. One of them leads to the garage and the straight one leads to the front gate.
Jake opened the door for me and let me into his house. The inside of the mansion looked like an ancient-themed antique household. The walls are in peach color and from the end of the hall up go stairs, which divides into two ways when it reaches to the second floor. The bedrooms are all in there. His house lacks the homey feeling and feels like a show-up, rich aristocratic environment. You know what I mean right…
Jake made me sit on the living room couch and went to call his mom. I was looking around the huge room with big TV, antique showpieces, the big glass table which all of it, just speaks of money.
Suddenly someone cleared throat and I looked at the person. Jake's mom was standing there wearing a black suit and skirt, looking like some standard businesswoman. I stand up and went near them.
“Mom this is Kizie, my girlfriend. And Kizie this is my mom.” Jake introduced us.
“Hello, aunty, nice to meet you.” She looked at my head to toe and shrunk her face.
“You will call me Ms. Miller, understand. And which business is your father in?” She asked me with arrogance.
“He isn't in business. He's a construction worker.” I answered with my head down.
“What? Does that mean you're poor? Jake, I need to talk to you alone. Now!” She took Jake to another room which seems like the kitchen.
I was standing still in my place, and I can hear their conversation clearly from that place.
“What were you even thinking before having a relationship with that girl. She has no standards, no culture, no position in society, no money, nothing. Did you think of what damage will come to our reputation if she becomes your wife?” Now I know that his mom really hates me.
“Mom relax. Nothing will happen. In our business world, it doesn't matter who is with whom. Besides, she is nice.” His reply brings a little smile to my face.
“Yes, about that. Does she know everything about us?” She asked him.
“No, I haven't told her. I'll tell her after I join the business,” he replied.
“What if she creates a fuss about it later? She can get us into very big trouble.” What are they talking about? I thought to myself.
“No mom. She won't do anything, I promise. She is too naive and weak for that. And she loves me too much to cause any harm to me. Trust me, mom, I will make sure she agrees to everything.”
“Ok son, if you say so. I trust you, I'm happy if you're happy.”
I have no idea what were they talking about. Is he hiding something from me? And what harm can I cause to him? I was thinking about all of it when they both returned. She glared at me angrily, clearing that my thoughts were right. She does hate me.
“Well, then sweetie I have to go. Enjoy your day ok. Buy.” She told Jake and left us there.
“Your mom doesn't like me,” I told Jake as soon as she was out of my sight.
“Give her some time. She will love you one day. Who can resist this sweet face of yours baby girl? She just needs some time to know you better.” He held my face I blushed from his comment.
Then he showed me his whole house. His house is massive, with a big swimming pool and lots of servants to maintain it. Lastly, he took me to his room to spend some time alone. When I first saw his room I wondered that I have never thought a boy's room can be this clean. Then it came to me that they had servants to do the cleaning. How could I forget that?
His room was big and gray with a huge king-size bed in the middle of it. On the right side of the bed is a huge window facing the pool and the little garden beside it. And beside it, was a huge mirror with a dresser attached. On the other side of the bed, there was another door, which I think is his bathroom.
I was admiring his room and decorations when he pulled my hand and I got bumped into his chest.
“What are you doing Jake?” I asked him with heavy breaths.
“What I've been wanting to do for so long baby girl…” with this word he pushed me to his door which is now locked.
He holds my shoulders tightly against the door and kissed me. I always thought my first kiss would be passionate and full of love, but this was nothing like that. This kiss was more like a hungry one.
