My mom, was so excited about me going a date. I've never seen her this excited in a while. She was practically screaming.
"What's the special guys name?" She asked me, a big smile on her face.
This was going to be hard to say, I didn't know what to tell her. I know she had heard about Johnny from Daniel, not from me. So it was all bad things she knew of Johnny.
I closed my door making sure Daniel wouldn't hear, my brother looked confused, "Ma, this is going to sound crazy." I whispered.
"It's Johnny, but he is better than Daniel says about him. You'd love him, and I know he and Daniel don't have a good thing going, but me and him do, and it's real good thing." I told her.
I could tell she was defiantly surprised, but she wasn't mad. "Hun, he makes you happy, then I like him." My mom told me, holding my had comfortably.
I nodded my head, leaning my head onto her shoulder, both of us sitting on the edge of my bed.
"Now, can I have the honors of being the first person to see your dress?" My mother asked, pleading.
I nodded my head, I walked into my closet I closed the door, getting changed into the dress I was going to wear.
I really liked this dress, I was just scared of how I'd look in it.
My mother sat on the bed, talking to me on the other side of the door, waiting for me to get dressed into my dress.
