Dirty Little Secret

Chapter Fourty: Awkward

I open my eyes. I am in Adams hospital bed, snuggling into his side. He's still sleeping. His thick eyelashes fall over his pale bruised face.

"Amy."

I jump. I though we were alone. I see mum sat on a chair. Oh God.

"Do you want to explain?"

"I.."

"You and Adam?"

What do I say? What do I do? My hearts stopped beating.

"I'm in love with him..." I mumble.

I look up to see her face. This is it. This is when she sends me away. Tells me its wrong. That its disgusting.

To my surprise a smile spreads over her face.

"That's... That's great."

Have I misheard her?!

"What?" I ask, disbelieved.

"I've noticed how happy you two have become. You two are happy. That's all that matters to me."

"You don't think it's weird?"

"You're not related. It'll take some getting used to. But a long as you're both happy. That's all I care about. Have you?"

"Have I what?"

"Erm... You know..."

She's lost me. She looks awkward. What is she in about? Oh. Oh. OH!!!

"No!" I say.

"Promise?"

"Promise! No I haven't had sex with him."

"Well when the two of you decide you're ready, come and talk to me Amy. If you're worried or have any questions."

"Ok mum."

"I could even take you underwear shopping."

"Oh my God... Okay mum, stop there."

"Okay sweety. I'll be back later. Love you."

She plants a kiss on my head and then leaves.

That went well. Really well. Until she offered to underwear shop with me... That was just awkward.
