Tag and I plan on seeing them next weekend. When we get some time away from the MC and work.
Mom. Are you and Terrance home next weekend?
She takes ages to reply. I’ve had a shower and I’m combing my hair when a text comes through.
Yes, honey. Are you coming for a visit?
Thomas and I might come together.
Our parents don’t use Tag’s nickname. And there’s nomightabout it. It’s happening.
That sounds wonderful.
How is Terrance?
I hope he’s mellowed. I haven’t seen him much since I got back, but he’s always been good to me. I just hope he can fix hisrelationship with Tag. Though, after the bombshell we’re about to give them, I doubt that’s gonna happen.
He’s good, honey. Playing golf. We’re both excited to see you. I’ll make your favorite.
I snort.
You mean Thomas’s favorite?
I thought you liked lasagna too?
Not as much as him!
Glad to hear you two are finally getting along. How is he?
Guilt washes over me that I have to lie. That I have been lying all these years.
We’re not going to tell them all the sordid details. They won’t want to hear that Tag took my virginity under their roof while we were on spring break.
But they need to know the truth, and it’s better they find out before anyone else does. It would still be nice to spend Christmas with them, but I’m not holding out on any of that. They may disown us, for all we know.
He’s good, Mom. We both are.
Good to hear. See you both then. Let me know what time so I can have everything ready.
I close my eyes and take a long hard breath.
Will do. Love you.
Love you too x
I drop my phone and feel like the worst person in the world.
I hate lying to my mother. She’s my best friend and she’s always been there for me. I hate to think what this might do to her when we confess.
Hesitation hits me, but it doesn’t last long. I know this has to be done. Mom won’t disown me forever. She’s not like that. We can’t help that we fell in love.
We can’t help but want to be together.
When I think about Tag and how he seemed last night, he was so defeated. Exhaustion taking over as he slept in my arms like a baby.
I’ve never felt so much love. We clung to each other like we were all we had. That’s how I know that this is real. That Tag and I aren’t just trying to prove something to ourselves, we don’t have to.
All I know is how I feel. I can’t go back now. There is nothing in the past for me to keep me shackled any longer. I’m free of it all. If Tag will have me, then I’m his. And I know that we can get through anything.
