The young blonde looked quite put-out as he watched his mom infront of her mirror, pursing her lips and spreading lipstick over the flesh. After smacking her rouged lips to make sure they were perfect, the woman reached up to lightly fluff her slightly wavy hair, her eyes roaming over her face and hair for anything she deemed to be an imperfection. After all, this was a special night. Heaven forbid she looked bad! No matter that she'd been dating the man for quite some months.
"Mom, are you ready yet?" The blonde said in a slightly impatient tone, his blue eyes looking up at the clock to check the time. Well, they weren't late, but it felt as if eternity was passing while his mom checked herself in the mirror.
If anyone was to ask him, she looked perfectly fine.
"One second Jeremy, I'll be ready in one second!" Mary said, pursing her lips once more for good measure. She fluffed a bang, unaware of her sonâ??s discomfort.
After all, it had been â??one secondâ?? for the past ten minutes.
After she smoothed her skirt and fixed her top over her cleavage the woman turned to her son and smiled in a blissful mannerâ??the type of smile that was very contagious. Jeremy couldnâ??t help but smile, too. His mother looked beautiful.
Still, he wasnâ??t happy about his mother going out with his eighth-grade teacher. No thirteen-year-old wanted something like that.
â??Ready baby?â? Mary asked. Jeremy pushed himself off the bed and nodded, heading out of her room and making his way to the door.

The car ride was short, at least. They were going to a near-by restaurant, and while that was all fine and dandy, Jeremy was sort of irked that it was a nicer restaurant and that he had to wear a nice shirt, with his nice pair of jeans which werenâ??t all that worn and which needed breaking in. They were uncomfortable. He couldnâ??t help but shift and wiggle.
After parking the car they stepped out, soft bottoms of Jeremyâ??s sneakers mixing with Maryâ??s heals clicking as they walked to the front of the restaurant. Trying to be a gentleman, or to mimic such niceties, Jeremy held the door over for his mother.
Now, all they needed to do was wait for his teacher.
Jeremy really wasnâ??t looking forward to it, really.
What a nightmare.
