Why do I feel sad?
"What's wrong?" Charlotte asks as she grabs and holds my hand
"I just suddenly got sad" I say with just as much confusion
"Do you need anything?" She asks with a worried tone
"Not that I know of," I say with a smile as I look at her worried expression
"Calm down, babe" I say before I lean over the center console and give her a peck.
We quickly exit the truck and make our way towards the house before unlocking the door and walking in.
"Mom, I'm home!" I yell which makes Charlotte glare at me
"Sorry" I say and grab her hand
"Aspen, What did I tell you about yelling in my house?!" My mom scolds as she walks out of the kitchen
"Only yell if it's an emergency" I say with an eye roll
I can't tell you how many times we've had this conversation.
I think it's more than ten though.
"Great, now that that's settled, How are my favorite girls?" She asks as she looks between us then down at Charlotte and I's intertwined hands
"I'm great, how about you, babe?" Charlotte says in my direction with a wicked grin which makes my eyes widen
Is she serious right now?!
What's next?!
Is she going to tell my mom that I'm sexually active?!
"I'm good," I say as I look at my mothers knowing grin
"Oh wow, would you look at that!" I say as I look down at my invisible wrist watch
"I'm starving, lets go eat" I say and drag along Charlotte so that she can't expose anymore of my secrets to my mom.
When we enter the kitchen I'm hit in the face with the scent of blueberry pancakes and syrup.
I look at the counter and see a plethora of breakfast choices.
There's banana bread, French toast, blueberry pancakes, banana pancakes, fruit smoothies, and fresh fruit.
"Your mom really went overboard with the food" Charlotte says from behind me
"Yeah, but I'm not mad about it" I say before I walk over to a barstool and begin to chow down on the wonderful food.
