Chapter 12

In the two weeks that followed, Justin and I saw each other whenever we could while still being discreet. We texted or talked on the phone nearly every day. I went over to his uncle's farm a few times, and twice, I babysat Piper while Justin helped Roxy film a scene with a horse. It was at a time of day that Anna could have watched her, but I offered, and Justin agreed. He said Piper hadn't stopped talking about me since she had come over that first night.

I kept her at his house once, but the second time I babysat, I brought her home with me again. My parents met her that day. My mom called and asked if I wanted some of their leftover dinner, and since I hadn't eaten or fed Piper yet, I took her up on it. I told them whose daughter she was before I went over there, and neither of them asked any questions or even so much as brought it up with me again. I figured that was better than them openly opposing it.

They treated her like a girl I was randomly babysitting and not one that I dreamed of becoming a mother to. I could hardly blame them for that since they had no idea about the depths of my feelings for Justin or that I saw Piper that way. I thought the impromptu meeting would be a good way for me to ease them into the idea of us dating.

That had happened a few days ago, and they still hadn't asked me about it. In fact, yesterday, my mother came to my apartment and saw a little stacking toy sitting on the counter. It was something I had bought for Piper. I saw her notice it, but she didn't mention it to me. I know she assumed it was for Piper, and it was slightly awkward that she didn't ask about it, but I didn't bring it up. I figured my parents ignoring the situation was better than them being upset about it.

When it came to Justin, it was difficult for me to be patient. I waited so long for anything to happen with us, and now he liked me, and I still had to wait. I knew he liked me, though, and that was enough to hang onto. I wanted to tell the world, but I didn't need to. I could feel that he liked me, and that was enough for now.

Aside from my parents meeting Piper the other night, hardly anyone knew I had been seeing Justin. I confided in Jenny a little bit, mostly because she started prying it out of me after I mentioned him a couple of times. I just told her that we had been talking and that my parents didn't quite know about it yet but that I really liked him. I didn't tell her we had kissed, multiple times. During more than one conversation, it was on the tip of my tongue to spill my guts to her about that, but I held it in.
