Laughing out loud, I texted back.

I typed out my address to A.J.

Chapter 7

Right after A.J. confirmed he was on his way, I remembered Katie. And my gut turned at the thought of someone like A.J. coming to my house and meeting Katie for the first time. I started to text back, to tell A.J. to not come over, that I was just tired, or my mom told me “no”—or any number of other excuses. But…then I realized that Katie would be going to bed before A.J. had a chance to show up, so everything would be okay. Especially if A.J. and I just went straight to my room to watch a movie or just sit and chill.

Quickly, I dashed from my room and down the stairs to the kitchen, where I found my mom still hovering, drinking her tea and making a grocery list for the following week. She looked up with a smile when I jaunted into the kitchen, probably surprised that I now had a smile on my face. She took a sip of her tea and put her pen down, ignoring the chore in front of her. My mom works hard to keep things orderly and scheduled for Katie’s sake, but she always makes time for me. I didn’t always tell her how much I appreciated it, but I really did. Honest.

“Is it okay if A.J. comes over?” I asked.

“He’s the lacrosse player, right?”

I rolled my eyes. “Well, that describes Alex, Caden, Martin, and A.J., but yeah.”

“Is he staying over?” She asked.

“You’d be okay with that?” I was shocked.

She frowned at me. Suddenly, she had a realization.

“Oh!” She smiled. “No. If he’s that kind of friend, he can’t spend the night. Unless he sleeps on the couch or something. But, yes, sweetheart. He can come hang out.”

“We were just going to watch a movie and hang out. That’s all.” I rolled my eyes with a nervous laugh. “Talk, that kind of thing.”

Mom chewed at her lip, her eyes darting around.

“Honey, I trust you.” She sighed. “Dad won’t be home until Sunday. You make the judgment calls here. Just…be responsible, okay?”

“I’m a virgin, mom.”

I froze, wondering where that confession came from so suddenly.

“Well, that makes me feel a little better about this, then.” She chuckled. “But, you inviting another guy over after going on a date with a different guy is a little suspect.”

I blushed. “That date was just…it wasn’t a good date. We just had dinner at Trattoria and then I came home. We didn’t even kiss goodnight.”

“Okay.”

“I was supposed to go out on a date with A.J. tomorrow night…but, I thought we could just hang out tonight and see if it was worth it.” I shrugged. “I don’t want to be disappointed two nights in a row. If that makes sense.”

She smiled. “It makes sense, sweetheart. Just—be good. Don’t make me sorry for trusting you.”

“You won’t.” I said. “I promise.”

“Then have fun.”

“Also,” I chewed at my lip, “is Katie in bed?”

“Well, she’s in her room for the night.
