I could now see my front porch light on and my mother looking out the windows like a vulture waiting for its prey.
I suddenly stopped dead in my tracks. “I think I can make it from here thanks.â€?
“Are you sure because I can walk you to your door if you want?â€? He said with a little smile.
“Yeah, I am sure. See that person at the house ahead looking out all the windows?â€?
“Yeah, what about her?â€? He said looking at the lady standing in the window.
“That’s my mom if she sees me coming home with a boy this late I will never hear the end of it.â€?
“Ohâ€? he said looking sad like I had just insulted him deeply.
“It’s not you trust me. My mom just works that way.â€? I said giving him a smile.
I didn’t want to let go of his hand but the way my mom was circling I knew I had to get home soon or I was going to be in some trouble.
