"Oh my god, you invited him for dinner?!" my mom exclaimed with wide eyes staring at me like I had two heads. I couldn't possibly tell if she was shocked or overjoyed, maybe both. That was a good thing right?
I nodded, placing my hands on my waist, standing as brave as I could even though I was just as nervous as she was. "Yes..." I cleared my throat. "...I did,"
"Oh my god," she panicked again, running her hand through her strawberry blond hair. "Vanessa! Is there anything in the kitchen?"
"Right now nope," Vanessa said as she came into view with an amused look sensing the situation, guess I wasn't the only one sensing she was both overjoyed and panicking.
"Mom," I said softly and faced me. "It's okay, just breathe"
She nodded exhaling sharply. " I'm gonna see him"
I nodded with a smile on my lips. "Yeah"
