XAVIER'S POV
Fuck, it was her mum. I tried to look calm in front of Ophelia. I didn't want her to think that I didn't want to meet her parents. I really did. But, I was nervous.
Very nervous.
After all, I was a nobody with a future that was as dull as-
There was actually nothing to compare it to. It was that dull.
"Good evening Mrs. White! I am Xavier. Xavier Diego, Ophelia's boyfriend."
Her mother smiled at me and then looked at Ophelia questioningly.
"You never told me you had a boyfriend, Lia."
Ophelia's eyes flashed with hurt. She fisted her palms and bit her lower lip twice. She closed her eyes for a second or two and then opened them. The hurt or the pain had disappeared. It was replaced by a fierceness that made Mrs. White blink too.
"That's because you never asked, mother."
An awkward silence lasted for a minute or two. The tension between Ophelia and her mum was so thick, that you could cut it with a knife.
