Jake's pov

“Jake”
My mom knocked on my bedroom door.

“Come in”
-Me

She walked in and sat down on the bed with me.

“Your dad told me to inform you about a dinner gathering that he's attending. He wants you to bring along your girlfriend”
She made herself comfortable.

“With who?”
I asked, tired of his sh*t.

“With his ex colleagues, few of them are the present workers in your company. He wants you to make it official that you are dating and it's tomorrow”
She explained and I sank down into my bed.

“But you never told me about your girlfriend. Who is she? Is she nice?”
She asked.

“Nareum, an employee that I met. And yes, she's good hearted”
I told her.

“That's nice to hear. You've never dated until now, I'm glad you found someone to love. Feel free to invite her over..when your father isn't around of course”
She said.

“Sure”
I replied.

“Oh I can't wait to have a daughter in law”
She said excitedly.

“Isn't it a little too early to say that??”
I shifted myself and laid my head on her lap.

“I can't help it. I'm just so happy you can experience what it's like to love someone. Someone who treats you like a baby, other than me of course”
A smile grew on her face.

“A baby? Seriously? But you're the only person who can treat me like a baby”
I pouted.

“You have to learn to get comfortable with her then. You can't always be distant”
She stroked my hair slowly.

The best place to be is in my mother's arms. And sometimes, I wish I would stay as a child forever to be surrounded by her warmth all the time.

“Okayy”
I smiled back at her.

“I'll call you down for lunch later okay? I need to do the laundry first”
She said and I nodded.

I moved away from her and she left my room. I took my phone out and decided to call Nareum to tell her about the dinner.

Nareum

“Hi”I sat down, adjusting my hair

“Hi”
I sat down, adjusting my hair.

“Jake?”
Nareum creased her eyebrows.

“Yes, I need to tell you about something which..has my dad involved”
I said.

“You could just text me”
She rubbed her eyes.

I realised that she was still in bed lying down sideways.

“I just wanted to see my girlfriend's beautiful face”
I said slyly, capturing her attention.

“Don't bullsh*t. I just woke up”
She closed back her eyes.

“It doesn't matter, you're beautiful no matter if you just woke up or not”
I chuckled.

“Just hurry and tell me what's so important”
She mumbled sleepily.

“Well, my dad is having a dinner with his ex-colleagues and wants me to invite you. And those colleagues, could possibly be yours too”
I explained to her.

 And those colleagues, could possibly be yours too”I explained to her

Her eyes immediately shot open.

“WHAT?”
She rolled onto her back.

“Yea…I'm not fond of the idea, but I called to ask if you'd be okay with it because we'd be forced to anyway”
I felt bad for her.

“Like what you said, I'd be forced to. I can't do anything about that. When is the dinner gathering?”
She asked, putting a hand on her forehead.

“Tonight at 8pm. So I'll pick you up at 7.30?”
I asked.

“Tonight? That fast? But I guess. Also don't worry, I have clothes for myself”
She said.

“Okay, I'll see you later sweetheart”
I raised my eyebrows.

“Just stop with the nickname, it's so cheesy”
She yawned, covering her mouth.

“Whatever you say, sweetheart
I teased her, cracking a smile at her.

“Whatever you say, sweetheart”I teased her, cracking a smile at her

She said and the call ended.

I laughed at the girl. She was grumpy all sleepy like that.

Yet, it was cute to me.
