chuckles and I play punch her in the arm. “Seriously mom,
this is not a conversation I want to reveal details of, especially
with my mother. But honestly? You hit it dead on. It was pretty
intense. Okay imagine this, I’m still…you know..a virgin. But I
could see it changing with Lucas. I can’t with Brady. That’s a
little messed up isn’t it.”
She sits back down in the chair next to me
and holds my hand.
“ It’s actually not Abby.
It shows that you’re not ready to give yourself to Brady, at least
not all of you. Now, the other thing with Lucas, yeah that’s quite
a predicament you got yourself in there. But maybe you should talk
to him. See if he’s in that same place. It’s the only way you will
know which step to take. That’s what I would do. I know when I was
in high school; before I met your father I had a boyfriend that was
very persistent about sex. He wouldn’t shut up. I cared for him,
but I wasn’t in that place. I wasn’t ready to give all of myself to
him. And the thing is Abby, you will know when you’re ready. Your
body, mind and soul will be in sync and there will be no doubts
about whether to take it to the next level. But I will warn you, I
want you to use protection.”
I give her an ‘are you kidding me?’ look and
shake my head in disbelief. I didn’t expect this out of her right
now. It’s like she’s condoning my having sex only if I use
protection. Wow, where did my mother go? “Honey, I’m not stupid. I
wasn’t born yesterday. I’ve been around a lot longer than you and
though I prefer you stay a virgin until you’re married or in your
thirties, I know things happen. You can never be too careful
though. Just please promise me, you will be careful.” I smile and
lay my head on her shoulder.
“ Yes, I will be careful.
But what do I do about Lucas? And Brady? How do I choose?” My mom
sighs and smoothes her fingers through my hair.
“ I can’t tell you that.
You have to make the decision yourself. You don’t have to make any
sudden decisions now. But soon enough, you will need to. Either
way, I’ll back you one hundred percent. Now, I love you, but I also
love my beauty sleep. We can’t all be as naturally beautiful as you
are.” She tapped me on the nose lightly with her finger. I hugged
her, thinking to myself how lucky I was to have my mom’s support.
How could my dad give this woman up? He was an idiot, a
fool.
“ Thank you mom. What would
I do without you?” She laughs as I stand up, ready to flee the
room, even though I’m not that tired.
“ I guess you’d get by
somehow. But I’m glad you’re stuck with me. It’d be a bit lonely
without you being a pest every now and then. Go to sleep now. I
love you. And no more crazy wild Lucas dreams.” I second that. I
walk into my room and crawl into bed, getting comfy and cozy under
my comforter. I look out the window once before turning over and
drifting off to sleep once more.
“ Abby, honey. It’s time to
get up.” My eyes flutter open. My mom is standing over my bed. I
sit up and rub my sleepy eyes and glance out my window at the
pretty white sight. There’s snow on the ground. Of course it’s
typical April weather for Green Acres, Colorado. I kick off my
covers and get a better glimpse of the beauty. Snow has always been
my favorite. I used to go skiing every year in Keystone. They have
one of the best ski resorts in the state, at least in my opinion.
My dad took me and Sarah there when were younger, obviously before
he ditched us.
I walk away from the window to my dresser
and take out a pair of pink lace panties and socks then browse
through my closet and find a pair of skinny jeans and a long
sleeved shirt. I walk into my bathroom and brush my teeth and wash
my face. Then I finish up with my make up and head to the
kitchen.
“ Mmm, that smells
delicious mom.” I find her standing over the stove cooking bacon,
eggs and pancakes. I sit down in the chair and put my socks and
shoes
