Whitney got to the door and opened it with Al just behind her. « Oh my god ! »
« Hi Whitney. How are you doing ? » A middle aged woman said.
« Umm…. Hi Mrs. Rossi. Umm… come on in. » Whitney said while stepping backwards.
« Mom, what are you doing here ? » Al said totally shocked. She hadn’t seen her mom since she moved in with Whitney 2 years ago.
« I wanted to come and celebrate with you guys since you are gradu… » Suddenly she noticed they had company, « Oh, you have company. » And she gave them a look that said ‘We need to talk ‘. Al just sighed.
« Do you want something to drink, Mrs. Rossi ? » Whitney asked, noticing the unamused look on Al’s face.
« Oh no thank you. I"ll be fine. » Mrs. Rossi said, taking her coat of and hanging it over a chair.
« Mom, let me introduce you. » Al said while sitting back next to AJ, « This guy over here is AJ. » She said, putting her hand on his chest.
« Nice to meet ya, ma"am. » AJ said. Mrs. Rossi gave her daughter another glance after she saw his tattoos and his earrings. Al just pretended like she didn’t notice.
« That one is Nick. »
« Hi, umm…. Mrs. Rossi, right ? » Nick said with his shy voice.
« Yes, indeed. » Mrs. Rossi said while looking at his cloths. She saw he was wearing jeans and a jersey. Again, she shot another look at Al.
« Those are Howie and Kevin. » Al said, looking at them.
« Hello. » they both chorused. Mrs. Rossi just nodded.
« And that guy over there is B-Rok . » Al said.
« Brian, Ma"am. Brian. » Brian interrupted Al as he stood up to shake her hand.
« Well, how did you guys meet ? » Mrs. Rossi said, sitting in a chair.
«Cake was in the grocery store and she bumped into Nick and AJ. » Al said using Whitney’s nickname. She smiled at AJ and he smiled back at her
« And that happened when ? Two months ago ? » Mrs. Rossi asked.
« Nope, it happened today. » Whitney said, finally talking.
« Oh my…. Umm… Al, Whitney can I talk to you girls ? » Mrs. Rossi asked taking a hold of Whitney’s hand who was standing beside her.
« Yeah sure. » Whitney said. Al, just gave her a look.
« In private ! » Mrs. Rossi said.
« Umm… OK…. C"mon, Al. »
« But I don" t want to ! » Al whined.
« Alexandria Jamie McLane, you get that butt up here ! ! ! » Mrs. Rossi gave her daughter a look hat only mothers can give you. Al knew that Mrs. Rossi was starting to get mad, because she used her full name. AJ chuckled at the thought their names were so alike. With that Mrs. Rossi just looked at him.
« Alright, alright, I"m coming ! » And she stood up.
When Mrs. Rossi, Al and Whitney were in the kitchen the guys began to talk. « Man, I don"t think her mother likes us. » Nick said.
« I know, did you see how she looked at me, man ? If looks could kill, I"d be six foot under by now . » AJ said.
« Hey, do they know who we are ? » Brian asked Nick and AJ.
« I don’t know… Nick ? » AJ said. Nick just shrugged.
**MEANWHILE**
« Now, what did you wanted to talk to us about ? » Whitney said.
« Who are those boys ? » Mrs. Rossi asked them while she put her left hand on the counter.
«I just introduced you, Mom. Do you have amnesia ? » Al said.
« Don"t you talk to me like that, Alexandria. » Mrs. Rossi said pointing to her with her right hand.
« They"re just friends, Mrs. Rossi. » Whitney said.
« Yes, what kind of friends. Friends you meet in the supermarket and bring home ? God knows what they want to do to you girls. » Mrs. Rossi said.
« Mom ! They"re not like that ! You didn"t even know them ! » Al started to get angry.
« Neither do you ! » Mrs . Rossi said.
Knock knock.
« I"ll get it. » Whitney said, walking towards the living room.
« I"ll go with you. » Al said, glaring at her mom. Mrs. Rossi just sighed.
« Hi ! Come on in ! » Whitney said with a smile on her face. Her friend Yutta came in. She was a blond girl with blue eyes. She was wearing a baby-T and some jean shorts. No watter what she wore, she always looked good.
« Hi ! Girls, this is going to be a blast ! » Yutta said.
« We hope so… , « Al said, « lemme introduce ya to some friends of ours…. »
« These are AJ, Nick, Brian, Howie and Kevin. » Al said.
« Hey ! » they all chorused. Brian was looking at Yutta. He thought she was beautiful. Suddenly he thought of Leighanne. He quickly turned red and turned around.
« Why is he so shy ? » Yutta asked Whitney.
« Who ? » Whitney asked with a confused look on her face.
« The one with the nice ass ! Who else do you think I was talking about ? » Yutta joked.
« Oh ! You"re talking about Nick ? Watch it, girl ! He"s mine ! » Whitney joked back.
« No ! I mean Brian ! Man, he"s cute. But don"t you think they look familiar ? » Yutta said.
« Yeah I know, I just can"t figure out where I"ve see them. » Whitney replied.
« Ooh well… »
« Girls, I"m leaving. I"ll call you two tomorrow. » Mrs. Rossi said., finally coming out of the kitchen.
« OK, I"ll let you out, Mrs. Rossi. » Whitney said.
« Thank you. And eeh… Alexandria…. Be carefull. » Mrs. Rossi said, putting her jacket on. Al rolled her eyes and starting to walk toward AJ.
« I really don"t know what is wrong with that girl, Whitney » Mrs. Rossi said. Whitney just smiled. She knew exactly what was wrong with her best friend.
« Well, bye then. » Whitney said, opening the door for her best friend’s mother.
« I"ll call you two tomorrow. » Mrs. Rossi said. Whitney closed the door and walked to Nick.
