My friend's mother

4. Oh my god!

I've just finished class, and I'm currently searching for Cate's car, but I can't seem to find her.

Unknown  I'm in the parking lot, sweetie!

Omg, she just called me sweetie! I feel like I could die right here and now. It's like she read my mind because I was starting to get a bit desperate, and then she texted.

As I head to the parking lot, I decide to change the contact name to Cate :).

I enter the car, and we exchange greetings. She hugs me and then kisses my cheek. She just kissed my cheek! I swear, I won't wash my face ever again!

C: You're adorable when you blush. -I blush even more if that was even possible- Let's head to your place. What kind of music are you into?

Y: I'm a big fan of Lady Gaga (a/n: u can change it if u don't like her but she's my fav singer so...).

C: Oh! Love her!

She plays the music. I'm tempted to sing along, but it feels a bit embarrassing next to her, so I choose to simply enjoy the music. After a few songs, she starts singing, and I decide to join in. The entire drive is filled with our shared joy of singing and dancing.

She parks the car as the song comes to an end.

C: God, that was fun! -she says, laughing.

Y: Yes, it was! -I laugh too.

We share a few minutes just staring at each other, still chuckling.

C: You should go pack your bag -she says once she calms down.

Y: Yeah... You can come if you want to.

C: Okay, I'll go with you.

We enter my apartment.

Y: I'll give you a small tour.

I guide her around the apartment in a brief tour since it's not very large.

C: It's very cute and cozy. I like it.

Y: Thanks! I'll go pack my bag quickly.

I quickly pack a small bag; I don't like keeping people waiting.

When I finish packing, we leave for her house. Upon arrival, I go to Dash's room, but he's sleeping, so I decide not to disturb him. Instead, I find Cate in the hallway.

Y: He's sleeping -I say, chuckling a bit.

C: Oh! Leave your bag in the same room as the other day and come to my room then. It's that one -she says, pointing to her room.

Y: Okay.

I deposit the bag in the room and make my way to Cate's. A gentle knock precedes her invitation for me to enter.

Her room is spacious, adorned with large windows, an extensive book collection, a substantial desk, and a grand bed. Oh, and not to forget, a sizable TV. Cate is seated on the edge of the bed, scrolling through Netflix.

C: I forgot to mention earlier... Sandra has already left, I hope you don't mind spending time alone with me...

Y: Of course not!

C: Let's watch something then!

We recline in bed, and the movie begins on the TV placed directly in front of us.

I sense her gradually moving closer, though it's likely just my imagination. About halfway through the movie, she speaks.

C: I'm gonna go set the table so we can have lunch.

Y: Alright, I can help.

C: No, you stay here. I insist, before you protest any further. -she winks and heads out.

I continue watching the movie until Cate calls out, "Dinner's ready!" I head to the living room and take my seat in the same chair as the other day. Glancing at the table, I notice there are only two plates: one in front of me and the other across.

Y: Isn't Dash eating with us?

C: No, I brought the food to his room. He's not doing well, and I think it's best if you don't go in there; you might catch whatever he has.

Y: Oh...

C: I did tell him you're here, though. Just so he knows you care about him.

Y: Okay, thanks. I should go home, shouldn't I?

C: No! Why?

Y: I mean, I came to visit Dash...

C: And to spend time with me, remember? -I nod and smile.

We eat pretty much in silence, and afterward, I help her in the kitchen.

C: Do you have any homework or assignments?

Y: Yes,but it's not much.

C: You should go work on it, and I'll finish up here.

Y: No, I'd rather help you now, and I can do my homework later. I insist, before you say anything else. -she nods and smiles.

I finish my homework in my designated room, and after about an hour, I head to the living room expecting to find Cate there. However, she's not around, so I decide to check her room. As I approach her door, I hear a strange noise from inside, almost like someone moaning. Panic sets in, and I quickly retreat to my room, hoping she didn't notice me. I distract myself by scrolling through Instagram and listening to music, trying to shake off the awkward moment.
