You're My Favorite Addiction

I was laying in my bed, it's the weekend now. I rolled over, usually Skylar would be here but she said she was spending the day with Alan so I guess it's just me today. I wonder if my moms home. No harm in checking.

I ventured down the hallway to my moms room. I peeked in the door and saw he laying in bed reading a fashion magazine. She was a celebrity shopper. She was always gone, but surprisingly she had this weekend off. But usually she's at the main office in San Diego so I never usually see her home on Saturday mornings. She peeked up from her magazine and smiled.

"Phoenix, honey. Come in." I walked over to her bed, climbing in with her. So many talks have been spent here. Right here we'd lay talking for hours. "What can I do for you honey?" I sighed and pulled the covers up over my head. "Phoenix? What's wrong?" I looked above the covers and just shook my head. "C'mon love I know when something is bothering you, I have been your mom for 18 years now." She chuckled, causing me to smile.

"I don't know mommy I just have a lot on my mind." I rested my head in her lap and she began stroking my hair. This always calmed me down as a child, and it still has the same effect today. "You wanna talk about it?" I looked up at her, she was such a good parent. And I was so thankful to have her. "I don't know where to begin." I looked away tears filling my eyes. "Well what's it have to deal with? Skylar? A boy?" "Both." She kept quiet, she knew my past few relationships have not been the best, and she just doesn't want me to get hurt. I mean the poor woman had the love of her life walk out on her like it was nothing. It was almost like we never meant anything to him.

"well Skylar has a boyfriend, you've actually met him. It's Alan. So my two absolute best friends are dating, and are so full of each other. Like don't get me wrong I love that their together and I wouldn't want to see them with anyone else, but I've been out on the back burner in the relationship. It's like I'm constantly the third wheel." She continued to stroke my hair. "Well honey, the way I see it is that the relationship is still new, so it's like the honeymoon stage. They'll get over that. Trust me. You didn't lose them, now about this boy..." She was motioning for me to continue.

"Well mom, I just don't know. I think it might just be puppy love. But I think he's the one." I smiled at the thought of Austin. His eyes, his smile, the way he snorted when he found something really funny. "Well from all of that, it sounds like my little girl is growing up, I think you may be in love with this boy." "You got all that from I think he's the one?" "You just said his eyes, his smile, and the way he snorts when he finds something really funny. Honey when you begin to notice every little detail about a person, you are in love." She smiled. I gotta find a better inner monologue.

"So what's his name dear?" I smiled. "Austin." "Where's he go to school?" "He graduated." Oh God she was not going to be happy about the age difference but maybe she wouldn't be that mad, she's usually pretty understanding about things like this. But she is going to want to meet him. "How old is he?" The question of the day. I tried to swallow the lump in my throat but it wouldn't go away. "24." Her eyes went wide, but then they softened a bit. "Phoenix I wanna meet this man. Have you two..." "No." I couldn't tell her that I did it with him already she'd freak out. "Well good take it slow, I don't want him getting you pregnant or taking advantage of you." I nodded.

As I got up to leave, my mom called my name. "Phoenix, I do want to meet him. Invite over for dinner tonight." I nodded. I waltzed into my room and grabbed my phone. To my surprise Austin was already calling me.

"Hello?"
"Hey you."
"So I gotta ask you something."
"Shoot baby." He was so cute.
"Um my mom, uh she wants to meet you..." This wasn't going to end well.
"Really? That's great! Does she know I'm your teacher?"
"No." I giggled.
"Okay, so what are gonna do go out? You come here?"
"She wants you to come over for dinner. If that's alright?" I was nervous.
"Sounds perfect, text your address and I'll be over around say... 7?"
"Sounds good my love, I'll see you then."
"I'll be seeing you." I could practically hear his smile on the phone.

I hung up and realized it was now going on 3. "Mom!" I sang running down the hallway. "Yeah!" "He said he'll be here around 7. Is that okay?" "Yup I'll start now on dinner, will you help me?" "Sure thing." My mom and I ventured into the kitchen, preparing dinner, she was getting everything ready while I made me famous chocolate fudge cake. Definitely my specialty. I looked at the time, 5:45. "Shit." "What Hun?" I sighed. "It's going on 6 and I'm not even ready." "We'll take your ass upstairs and get ready! You didn't have to be down here all day helping, I just wanted to spend some time with you! Go, go get ready." She smiled. "I'll finish up here." I kissed her on the cheek and ran up the stairs.

Hopping in the shower, I washed my hair and shaved. Wondering if I was gonna get it tonight or not. I shook the thoughts away, knowing if I continued to think that way I'd never get ready on time. I jumped out wrapping a towel around me. Then one around my hair. I started on my makeup, doing it to perfection. I blew dry my hair and threw some loose curls in it. I ventured to my closet pulling on some sexy lingerie. Then I threw on a low cut t-shirt and some tight jeans, along with my moccasins. As if on cue, I heard the door.

I ran down stairs and opened it to see him holding two bouquets of flowers. "For you my lady." I smiled, taking in the roses scent. "You must be Austin, hi I'm Lori. Phoenix's mom." She went to shake his hand, but went right in for a hug. "It's so nice to finally meet you, these are for you." He said handing my mom a bouquet of daisies. Her favorite? How'd he know. She just gushed over them. "How beautiful are these! I love them, thank you Austin! Phoenix, you got a good one here." She winked. "Oh boy." Causing both of them to chuckle. "Mm so what's cooking it smells delicious, and I came hungry. Can I help you with anything Mrs. Rose?" Austin was such a gentleman. I was astonished. "Would you mind?" "Not at all, just put me to work Mrs. Rose." "Please call me Lori." I snickered, because Austin would tell me the same thing in bed. He must of noticed and because mouthed "later" and winked as he followed my mom back into the kitchen.

Dinner went better than I expected, my mom loved Austin. "That was delicious Lori, thank you!" He said wiping his mouth. "Pleasures all mine dear." "Ill do the dishes." I stood up taking everyone's plates. "I'll help." Austin stood up following me. "Phoenix are you leaving tonight dear? Or you two staying here?" Us two? She was going to let him spend the night? "If it's alright, I was going to take her to mine?" Austin said. "Perfectly fine, will give me a chance to get caught up on some work. You two have fun, it was lovely meeting you Austin. Take care of her." She smiled. "I will Lori, don't worry about anything. She means the world to me, it was amazing meeting you also." He said, engulfing her into a hug. "Makes do lunch soon." He said and she nodded, going to her office.

We were in the car going to his house. "You have no idea how nervous I was. I'm so happy your mom likes me." He smiled grabbing my hand. "Me too. I'm surprised at how open she's being about all of this." "Well you are 18, you can do whatever you please now my dear." He smiled. Upon arriving at his house, he unlocked the door and we went inside. He picked me up and started kissing me. He ventured down to my neck and I closed my eyes in pleasure. I opened them and looked at the pictures on the wall. Austin and his mom when he was younger, him and his dad, then a wedding picture? Of him and a woman. What the fuck? "Stop." I demanded, he instantly put me down. "What's wrong Phoenix? You're acting like you saw a ghost." I backed away, tears flooding my eyes.

"You-you're ma-married?"
