"Spanish...really?" - meeting the parents - HFBO

"You've never looked this happy" mother said to me.
Course I hadn't, i thought, I'd never been this happy. Helping these children, and of course emilio, it was like Karma was smiling on me.
My father had been too busy with business, so only my mother had flown down, no surprise.
"mother theres so much i want to tell you"
"yes why not Abbykins, you can tell me over lunch with the Williamsons"
"What?"
"o you know, Aidens parents, Aiden, the boy you've been in love with for years now.."
Lunch, with Aiden & his parents. NOT GOOD.
---------------------------------------
Lunch was horrible, the biggest mistake ever. Aiden sat next to me, stroking my hair, giving our parents the worst impression possible, and i just couldnt take it anymore.
"Mother, i am in love."
"Well, thats obvious isnt it now?" they all giggled.
"NO. Not with Aiden. With emilio, and if you dont mind, he& his family would love to meet us over tea."
Ouch. A little too direct? im sorry, but i didnt know any other way.
-----------------------
A couple of tut tuts later (from Aidens parents of course) my mother met Mr. & Mrs. Santiago, the most flambuoyant and loving people ever, they were so in love till now, i guess thats why they didnt mind the whole thing with me & em.
---------------------------------------------
"So?"i asked my mother a few hours later.
"Well... he's gorgeous Abby, i can see why you're so smitten, but Spanish, reallly???"
i laughed.
This is why i LOVEDDD my mother.
