Mom Said It's My Turn Novels & Stories

Between me and Avery I was more mature and more responsible. I nodded and even though I know that my aunt just died, I can’t help but feel happy thinking that this would be a great opportunity to invite Milo and the others in here. No, Lindy this is not the perfect time to think about that for now. Don’t be so selfish. "We need to get going now before the night comes. Here's some money. We'll be back Sunday morning honey." Mom tells me while kissing my hair. "Take care mom and dad." I responded.

Making a u-turn, I looked at my mom, who had her cheeks puffed out in annoyance. “Ochoa?” I asked, trying to break the silence. Her annoyance slipped and she finally smiled at me. “Yeah. Your Dad is already waiting for us.”

he holds out his wrist and checks the time on his watch "...10:44." I could feel the sweat forming on my forehead as I casted my gaze down, lost of words. I felt choked. "Leave the poor girl alone, Jox" My mom said and I looked up to see her walking down the stairs, a hand on the railing. "She's eighteen for God's sake" Technically, I'll be eighteen soon. My mom wears a sly smile as she falls beside Joxer, her perfectly polished wine-colored nails pointing out.

"Hello mom" I say impatiently. My mom always has a way to interrupt us. There's shuffling at the the other side of the line "Hey B, uh can you guys come over for dinner at dad's place, sorry for the late info I totally forgot" No way. "Mom, it's not possible" Bailey hits my side lightly "You can't turn your mom down" she whispers "You're with Bailey?" My mom asks. "Yeah" "Great! Please put the phone on speaker"

"I know Mom. But what if Reynold and I aren't mates?" "What nonsense are you sprouting girl?!" My mom growled as she walked towards me. "YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE LUNA OF THIS PACK," she said to me as she held my shoulders firmly and looked into my eyes as she spoke. "I don't care about those silly worries of yours, you're going to go out there, shift once the moon is out and Reynold is going to mark you, period!" "B–but mom–" "Jeez! Rayne!" My mom snapped. "I've had enough of this already!"

she signed. "Same," I signed back. I was sure my face gave away everything I was feeling. The thrill, the nerves, the strange electricity under my skin that had been with me since I opened my eyes that morning. Then the door creaked open, snapping me out of my daze. "You need to focus on more than just Gaia," Mom said, taking a few steps into the room. "All your other friends are coming tonight. This is your birthday, you know."

You two are due on stage in 20 minutes and Selene will not deal with you being late. Both of us groan and not in the fun way. “Did you tell your mom to come by?” I nearly whine. She turns around smiles ruefully at me. “No. She just knows. She went through the mating period once herself.” More banging at the door calls our attention and Fati leaves me behind to go open the door. I clean up my face and put on some aftershave as I hear not only Fati’s mom, but both her dads coming into the house.

Mom asked from right beside me. I jumped, having spaced out. “Wow. You’re fast today.” She frowned and then thumped me in the chest. “Get it together, girlie. You’re too young to lose your marbles. At least call Pam before you lose the capacity for speech.” I rubbed the spot. “Okay, already. No need for abuse.” Mom cackled and I got busy helping with the groceries while she coughed it out. See? Totally normal Sunday in my life. ***

I write hesitantly: With whom? Mom: Just me. Me, myself, and I. I smile as I type my next message. Me: I love that, Mom. The light turns green, and I feel a little lighter as I get back on the road. Either Ezequiel comes crawling, or we lock him in a crib. Sounds good to me.

Mom said. “I’ll give a try. For a seconds.”
