“Fuck.” I really need to learn to shut my mouth.
I spend the next two hours explaining everything to my mother and don’t leave out any details. I wish I would of kept my mouth shut, but it feels good to tell her the truth. She is crying hysterically after I tell her about losing the baby.
“Oh baby, I’m so sorry you had to go through that alone.” I give her a smile and grab her hands on the table.
“Mom, it’s okay, truly. I’m okay with it now, I’ve moved on.” She wipes her tears and looks interested in my latter statement.Someone really needs to filter my words before they come out of my mouth.
“You have someone back in Baltimore?” I sigh and know I can’t back track from this conversation now.
“Yes, I do, and he is wonderful and supports everything I want to do.” It feels good to finally tell someone about Dexter, but I need to watch what I say because if I say to much then he might get in trouble.
“Honey that’s great! What’s his name? when will I be able to meet him?” I smile at her enthusiasm but keep the answers short to not give too much away.
“His name is Dexter, and he is going to Isabelle’s wedding so maybe we can do dinner then if he is up to it.” She has the biggest smile and I check my phone I see that its already two.
“That would be great honey.”
“I should get back to Izzy’s before she gets home. Can I take the car?”
“Of course, you can, gives you an excuse to see me before you leave to go back home.” I smile and hug her goodbye before heading back to Isabelle’s house. Once I get into the car my phone starts to ring. I answer it as soon as I see his name pop up.
“I just needed to hear your voice; I promise I’m not obsessed.” I laugh and think about the conversation with my mother earlier.
“So hypothetically if I were to tell someone about us. How badly would that break our rules?” I hear a laugh come out of him on the other end of the phone.
“Depends on who you told?”
“My mother, it kind of slipped out. I’m sorry!” I hear him take a heavy breath.
“Ally, don’t apologize. You can tell whoever you want.”
“Aren’t you nervous that it will get back to the school?” He laughs.
“All the way from New York? Highly doubtful.” My mind goes back to my mother dancing in the garden.Is Dex my Patrick Swayze?
“Can you dance?”
“That was extremely random, but the answer is yes. Only a little though, why?”
I laugh at the thought of us being like baby and Johnny from dirty dancing, but God would that be sexy.
“I was just thinking about Isabelle’s wedding and how I have no idea how to dance. Wanted to make sure you would be able to pick up my slack.”
I have no doubt that if he was here right now that he would kiss me. I touch my lips at the thought and think about this morning as I pull into the driveway of Izzy’s place.
“Of course, I’ll always pick up your slack. Not every relationship is going to be 50/50, but I’m willing to put in the work.” I sigh and can’t help the smile that spreads across my face.
“Why do you have to be so perfect?”
“I have to try to keep up with you, beautiful girl.”
“Miss you.”
“I miss you to.”
I hang up with Dex but miss his voice as soon as I hit the end call button. How long will this honeymoon phase last with us? I can only hope it last forever like I once did with Andrew. This time it’s different though and I need to stop comparing my relationship to Dexter to my relationship with Andrew. I hop into the shower to get ready for tonight even though I want to keep Dexter’s scent on me all day.
