“Here we are, Sir.”

Spencer takes his wallet out and hands cash to the cab driver.

“Thank you,” Spencer says.

The cabbie nods and smiles. I open my door, get out and Spencer slides across the back seat and follows. He closes the door and I wait for him to start up the walkway to his mom’s house.

It’s a nice house, nothing like Spencer’s… but compared to the rest of the houses in the neighborhood it’s seems refined. There are two pillars, one on either side of the red front door. Windows line both the floors of the white house. It has a certain charm that reminds me of what I would expect to see in the typical American neighborhood… I like it.

Spencer presses the doorbell and I hear it chime on the other side of the door. He told me once during the flight, and twice during the cab ride, to relax and that coming here was fine, but I still feel nervous about meeting his mom and I’m not sure why. When I think about it logically he’s right, we are just friends, but for some reason I feel like a girlfriend that is being taken to meet her boyfriend’s parents for the first time… and I’m nervous.

The door opens and his mom is standing in front of us with a big warm smile and I instantly feel relieved, my stress evaporates before she even opens her mouth.

“Hiiiiii!”

I can see where he gets his infectious smile from. She steps forward, wraps her arms around me and pulls me close. I put my arms around her and hug back. It’s nice, a warm feeling passes through me that I hadn’t felt in a long time… the warm embrace of a truly loving parent.

She pulls back, puts her hands on my shoulders and stands back as she looks me up and down.

“It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. Thomas,” I say.

She smiles, lets go of me and waves my comment off.

“Please, call me Brenda… and it’s very nice to meet you, too, Amy.”

“Hi, Mom.”

Spencer puts his arms around his mother and they share a brief hug that ends with her kissing him on the cheek.

“Come on in,” she says.

Brenda steps aside and we go inside. She follows and closes the door behind us. The house is nice inside, again, not decorated the way a house in L.A. would be, but more in sort of a middle of the country way that works perfectly with the exterior… it’s cute.

“You have a beautiful home, Mrs. Th… Brenda.”

“Where did you find her, Spencer?”

I let out a nervous laugh as I start to blush. The playful tone in her voice makes me think that Spencer hasn’t really explained to her who I am and that she might be thinking I’m his girlfriend or something.

She smiles at me again, turns and walks down the hall. I look to Spencer and he nods in her direction, so I follow her. I can hear Spencer walking behind me as his sneakers squeak with each step he takes on the wood floor.
