Chapter 14

“This is a nice restaurant you have brought me to Ann. So, Lina, have you been sticking your tongue down my daughter’s throat for long?”

Lina chokes on the sip of water she was drinking, looks at Ann, who’s face is now turning from red to purple in seconds. “Mom, what has gotten into you? You can’t ask that!”

Lina watches Inge sit back in her chair and guffaws in laughter. “I do love teasing you, but as your mother, I do get to ask potential bed mates certain questions to ensure they are good enough for said daughter. Plus, I don’t think Lina minds, she did start us all on this line of conversation back in the store.”

Lina laughs and clinks her glass to Inge’s, “I would answer honestly and say only a couple of days, we are very much in the early stages. She has worn me down and I finally gave in to saying yes for a date.”

Ann baulks again, “That’s a lie, I did not chase you and you wanted me just as bad as I wanted you. I can’t believe we are having this conversation in front of my mother.”

Lina laughs, pulling Ann into her side, “We are just teasing you.”

Inge sits back and sips her water watching the two of them interact. She smiles softly at Ann, “I have to say, Ann, I like her, you have met a match. This is good for you and I very much approve. Lina, maybe from now on you can leave out the details of your tongue and my daughter, or the next time we meet, I may have to tell you stories about me and my husband.”

Ann spits out her drink, “Mom! Oh my God, no! You are never coming to lunch with us again.”

Lina grins, “Deal, but if you continue that boldness, Ann is going to have a stroke. I don’t think skin is meant to get that red.”

Ann thumps Lina on the shoulder, “Ow, that hurt.” Ann smirks, “Good, it was meant to.”

The waitress comes over smiling sweetly at them, “Are you ready to order?”

All three answer in unison, “Yes.” She laughs and writes down their orders and leaves them to their conversation again.

“Inge, you must have a lot of stories about Ann as a kid, I would love to hear them.”

Ann spins around to face Lina, “Are you crazy, we are not having that conversation.” She turns to her mother and holds up her finger, “Do not say a word, mother.”

Inge smiles quirking her eyebrow, “Is that how I raised you? You know better than that to speak to your mother in that tone.”

Ann grumbles and leans her head on the table, “Kill me now.”

The waitress comes back with their food and is concerned about Ann. “Excuse me, ma’am, are you okay?”

Ann lifts her head a little and shakes it, “No, I’m really not, my mother is meeting my girlfriend for the first time and it’s not going the way I wanted.”

The waitress laughs, “I think, it might be going better than you think.
