Awkward moments v.v
January 11, 2011
There are some conversations you just never want to have. Especially with your parents. One of those happens to be the “You have a boyfriend now, let’s talk” lecture, you know when you’re still young enough to get it. Apparently 18 is the perfect age for it. My parents work in a different way, my dad prefers to ignore it, pretend it’s not there, and talk about it with my mom when I’m not around (I have no proof but I’m sure he does). My mom likes to start off with jokes, and then move on to the serious talks when she feels the relationship is progressing. Ugh, awkward talks are not my thing.
It’s been a little over a week and she’s already figured it out. I don’t bother saying anything unless I plan on getting engaged, because there’s no point really. This is what I mean when I say my mom likes to start of with jokes (teasing).
Seeing I have two missed calls I press the green button waiting for the connection. Letting out a sigh I smile and look at him. “Omma.”
He nods his head, also smiling. I normally keep me cell phone in my pocket so I don’t miss calls from home. I hate the “if you have a cellphone answer it” rants.
“So?” She answered the phone and I suddenly became nervous. Why? I wasn’t doing anything wrong. “Where are you?” She said in a cute voice. That was her acting coy. Oh no.
“I’m at a coffee shop.”
“Why didn’t you answer the phone?”
“It was in my jacket..its hanging off the chair.” Damn it! Stupid stutter.
“When are you going to be home?” She noticed, she notices everything. I swear she’s a brain ninja. She sounds even more amused now.
“Ah, when do you want me to be home.” I smiled, I’m sure she knew by my tone. This conversation may be somewhat awkward with the underlying “I know everything” tone but it was still amusing.
Silence was followed by my moms voice, turned away from the phone, asking my dad when I should be home. Great, why bring dad into this, she loves to tease.
Laughing filled the silence. “He says it’s best if you never leave the house.”
Despite the embarrassment I start laughing, he’s staring at me from across the table confused, smiling and sipping is strawberry frappacino. Or ‘Fraffacino’ as he so adorably calls it.
It was a short conversation but as it came closer to an end I remember her saying something along the lines of “I can tell from your voice.” as a reply to something I had said.
She knew. Oh the awkwardness, it starts off with jokes, and progresses to “I just want to talk”. I shut my phone and continued with the date, and he seemed somewhat pleased that my parents now knew.
I’m still waiting for that talk… >.<

The date itself was pretty perfect. It wasn’t anything special, a movie, coffee, and just driving around joking. I’m glad I decided to give it a chance, and I think I might even be getting too comfortable in this relationship. It’s been ten days, but it feels like at least two months (his words), and I don’t feel like I need to put up a front. I say and do stupid things and he thinks its “cute”. Is it this all part of the new relationship “they’re so perfect” phase or just the way we are around each other? He’s already comfortable telling me important things, and even invited me to church, a.k.a to meet the people he’s close to. That’s right below meeting the parents is it not? I don’t really care if it’s only been a short time so far, and that we’re a sickeningly cute couple, or that lectures from parents are looming in the distance. I heard somewhere that a girls hands are supposed to be pretty, I’ve never really liked mine, until he holds it. As corny as that may be I don’t care, at all, think what you want. But I’m happy right now.
