Well..yeah he does,the lady said.
Oh..maybe we've met.
I hope so,the woman said with s smile and Alexa didn't quite understand what she meant.
Oh I really have to go now or I'll get it from my boss,Alexa said ending their discussion.
Can I at least take you out to eat thank you,the woman said and Alexa was about to reject but didn't have the heart to so she just nodded with a smile.
I'll get going now,she said and was about to turn around to leave when she heard a deep familiar voice resound from behind the lady
Mom,the voice said and the lady turned back and do did Alexa eye land on freaking Ayden.
Oh son,come over here quickly,she said and Ayden walked over now standing in front of Alexa.
She could feel her heart racing,his presence was like incense candle and she couldn't help but feel weak in his presence.
But wait a minute did that mean that .. This cheerful lady she was blabbing to was actually.. Ayden's mom.
Holy..,how didn't she realize that,now that she looked closely she could definitely see the resemblance between them.
Ayden over here,his mom said and he walked over now in front of Alexa,she looked up at him before looking down.
Ayden this is Alexa,you should probably know her since she works in your company,his mom said and he hummed lightly.
She's the one I told you about,he finally said after a few seconds of silence.
Huh.. really..,you mean she is your girlfriend,his mom asked just to verify and he hummed again in confirmation.
Oh my..,you could've explained better,I had no idea...do you know she was the one who helped me earlier back,his mom said to him and he knitted his brow before looking at Alexa.
You helped my mom?,he half asked.
Umm it was nothing,I just did what a normal person would do in that situation,she said and noticed his gaze still on her.
You guys can talk later,let's all go out for lunch,his mom suggested and looked over at Alexa to hear her opinion.
Am sorry but I'll have to skip as I have lots of work to do, she politely declined.
What!,I finally get to meet my son's girlfriend and now she won't even accompany me to lunch, don't you think I get bored with my son,he doesn't say much to me,his mom said with a sad expression in her face and Alexa felt her heart melting,she finally agreed.
I'll come along then,she said and Ayden's mom finally smiled and took her hand and got into Ayden's car meanwhile Ayden was surprised as to how fast his mom had gotten close to Alexa,seems Alexa could easily make anyone like her and he wasn't an exception,he smiled inwardly and got into the car.
He drove to a restaurant with the best reviews, on a normal day he wouldn't go there but his mom had come all the way to see him and he had also missed out on his childhood with her.

Mia was seated in a restaurant accompanied by Peter with a gloomy expression as he kept on ordering.
Are you going to order everything on the menu?,she asked annoyed.
I don't have such a big appetite,so no..,he had already finished ordering.
Aren't you going to have anything?,he asked and she looked at the staff who was still waiting for her to order something,she picked up the menu and her eyes widened.
What the...,
How could one meal cost so much,how do they expect people to eat.
Did I forget to mention Peter had dragged her to a fancy restaurant with 5 star reviews,of course their meals would be expensive but how could he afford everything and now this moron had ordered a lot.
She looked at the last did on the menu..., squid soup..,it sounded off but she would take it as it didn't cost much.
I'll have the squid soup,she said and Peter looked at her seemingly amused,after taking orders the staff went away.
You sure you can eat that?,Peter then asked.
Why.., isn't it food?,she asked back and he chuckled but didn't say anything.
***
So tell me how did you guys meet, Ayden's mom asked as they were at the restaurant and awaiting their food.
Umm how we met..?,Alexa murmured and looked at Ayden and he stared at her back not intending to say anything.
We met way back... um in country C,we schooled together but we never talked...I umm came to Mexico to further my studies and met him again,we began talking and he...asked me out,she said that last part suggestively more like she was asking a question.
That is so cute..,I never knew he was one to make the first move,his mom said with a laugh and Alexa felt a gaze on her and looked up to see Ayden relaxed with one of his perfectly sculpted brow raised.
Thou half the story was true,she just felt the urge to say they had known for a long time..,it was true that they had met way back but the fact that he asked her out was false thou they were dating...it still are!.
What was his problem,she had answered the question his mom asked, when he didn't want to say anything now he was looking at her.
Keep staring,she said in her heart and continued to talk with his mom before their food arrived.
Throughout their meal Ayden was completely left out and would only say one or two things before he was kicked out of the conversation.
They had finished eating and Ayden's mom was full of joy, it wasn't long before she had a daughter in-law,she could feel it.
