Lets Not Fall in love.

My mother was the only one home when I arrived. Juniper gone downtown and Hansol was still at the office, I called her at once, she was heating up leftovers in the kitchen.

" you're home early, I see that you remember the city pretty good." She said casually. I could tell she was just trying to start a conversation with me. Which wasn't very hard for her it's not something she would have to try hard to do seeing that I was in no way my brother. Who still had not been able to talk to her except for the occasional text he would send her to let her know that she was leaving. That's probably how communicative he would be with her for a while .

" Mom." I called hesitantly. Like I said, it was easier for me to talk about my feelings. When I was sure of them right now I wasn't so sure so my mind was all over the place. And it's okay if I couldn't be sure at the moment wasn't it?

" I kind of want to talk to you about something." I watched as my mom made me a plate and then she brought it to the table and side plate in front of me. She rose her eyebrows to let me know that I had her full attention. And her time..

" okay, well I've got something to confess. The other day when I lost my phone I kind of ran into this guy." I started and then I bit my tongue as my mom's eyes got wide. Well, wide for her anyways.

"Okay. A guy. Got it." She tried to sound so casual, but a naughty Smurf trace your lips and she leaned forward in interest.

"Is he handsome?" She asked as if she couldn't control herself. I felt my cheeks heat up and I began to eat a little of my food slowly as to not make the conversation awkward. But then I got to thinking about Choi. His perfect shaped lips, his sleep eyebrows noisy furled sometimes when he spoke. His jaw line, and that cool guy stare he put off. He was indeed handsome. So I look at my mom and nodded vigorously that's all I could kind of do.

My mom chuckled at me. I can only imagine what I look like to her and her eyes. That look like some little school girl with a crush? Or did I look like someone who was confused and scared about their decision that had to be made. More like a damn business decision.

" it's only been a few days since I met him and I feel like he sweating me already. I don't want to be some play toy. I haven't been in Korea a week." My mom laugh again, a little louder this time so I glared at her. I knew it been my mom that approach my dad when he was in college. He told me, and she told me as well. Me and my brother had both gotten Hour fowardness from mom. Juniper was more verbally forward, & I was more physically forward. You never got a. Gny " I don't know," or 'huh.. What? I have no idea.' From Jun. It was far too easy for him to explain himself. That's one thing I wish I could nab from him.

But I was indeed more physically forward. Juniper could say things he wanted and it was easier for him to talk to someone. But I was all about body language. It's just how I was.

It was kind of easy for me to talk about my feelings, but I didn't like to. I hate looking like a week bitch who's PMS was out of control.
" it's just so odd" I told her, " he's just so... So..."

" forward, overly forward? Infuriating?" My mom should have been an archer. Hell back when she was my age she probably was she always not to hit the right mark.

" yes, you're exactly right Mom. But I think I like it and um, he's kind of older." My mom put down her utensils and looked up at me with scornful eyes. I didn't know what she was going to say now, but I hope it wouldn't be too bad of a scolding.. but she relax after a while and then went on about how I was almost 18 almost a grown woman. And pointing out that I haven't done anything to disappoint her in the long run so far. I had try to keep a straight face, because then it would look exactly like she was giving me what I wanted.

I tried to come with a few excuses. Play it down a little bit so it didn't look like I was trying to gangster. " he had kind of said he want to go on a few dates. He works too." My mom is a go getter. She wasn't some humble little princess like she raised me to be, she was pretty badass. She'd actually been a party girl when she was my age, respecting herself by not sleeping around. But having so much fun at the table dance and do body shots off of her female friends. Thank goodness that's not how she my dad. But none the less I wasn't surprised when she said, " I say test the waters, try it out and see how you like him."
