have to talk to you about something.” My eyes lift from the floor and
they meet Adrian’s. He lunges closer to me as he folds his arms. I take a deep
breath as I bring up the subject of his mother.
“Talk Alanna,”
     
“I need you to not get mad at me, okay?” Adrian rolls his eyes at me.
     
“Baby just talk,”
     
“Have you thought any more about inviting your Mom to the wedding?”
Adrian shakes his head and I lean over and take his hand.
    “Alanna, I have thought more about it. In fact, that’s what I was talking to my
therapist about today. The anger I have inside is slowly fading. I feel that I
could possibly see her again. I know that I could control myself around her
now. But I don’t know if I should see her for first time at our wedding.” I smile
as I cannot believe his confession.
    “Adrian we still have a few days until the wedding, you could see her before
then. I could go with you and if things go well then you can invite her to the
wedding.”
    “I don’t know, some days I hate her and other times I miss her. I don’t know
how I feel anymore.” I am surprised by Adrian’s honesty and I like that he is
sharing how he feels with me. I want to help him through this and I really want
him to have a decent relationship with his mother.
    “Adrian, we can work this out. Would you like me to arrange a meeting with
Alice?” Adrian exhales as he considers his response. My heart gently pounds as
I await his next words. He leans closer towards meand he gently strokes my
chin with his index finger. I tingle from his touch and then he whispers.
“I need you to help me, so please arrange a meeting with my mother.” I smile
and then he leans in even further. He places one hand on the back of my head
and the other is sliding down my back. He pulls me firmly towards him and
now his lips are on mine. His kiss is gentle at first but then it becomes more
rapid. I melt into him as I run my hand through his hair. He pushes me down
and I know what he wants. I lightly giggle as he kisses me again.

    The next morning I am awakened by the alarming, buzzing from my phone. I
tiredly open my eyes and reach over to grab my phone from the bedside table.
I quickly jump up as I see that Sophie is calling me. I take a deep breath as I
answer.
“Hello,” I say rather desperately.
     
“Hello Alanna, have I woken you?”
“No, no. Sophie, how are you?” The phone is silent and I my heart begins to
race. What if things went wrong between James and Sophie?
     
“ I am okay I guess, feeling a little sick but isn’t that to be expected?” I frown as
I don’t know how to respond. I clear my throat as I man-up.
     
“ Sophie, how did James take the news?”
    “He was shocked at first, but I feel that he is happy about the situation. We
talked for hours and we got all our feelings out in the open. By the end of the
night, he was so excited about our baby. Alanna I think that everything will
work out.” I cannot hold back my smile as I am ecstatic that everything is fine
with Sophie. I was so worried about her and I feared that James would react
differently to how he has. I still cannot believe that this is actually happening.
Sophie – my friend - Sophie is going to be a mom.
“ I am glad that everything has worked out with James. Sophie, have you told
your parents yet?”
    “No and I am dreading the moment that I break the news to them. You know
what my family is like. My parents are going to have a heart-attack when they
find out.”
“Your Mom and Dad will be shocked at first, but I am sure that they will be
happy for you once they get used to the idea.”
    “I hate it when my family are mad at me. Oh Alanna, can’t you take my place?” I laugh as I relish the thought. Sophie’s mom and dad are so terrifying and
strict that every time I see them I quiver, as I would hate to feel their wrath.
They have always kept Sophie on a tight leash ever since she was a kid. Her
dad, Simon is a little bit of a
