Mother-Daughter Talk

Korinne's POV:

"I've only been living with Mason and Brent for 3 months. it's not that Bad, Samira." I reassure my best friend. "2 guys!! and you are sharing Mason's room!"

she wasn't wrong. it's not like we share the bed or anything. I mean, Mason sleeps on the floor, which i feel bad about. "they're like brothers to me" I lied. Overtime Mason and I have gotten closer. Brent is like a brother to me and Mason is.. well.. he's the one who protects me now.. I feel safe with him.. I.. I love him.. "you're gonna get hurt, Kor.. I don't wanna see you hurt.." she said sadly. as much as i hate to say it, she's right.. Mason and i come from completely different crowds.. even if he did like me back, we'd be broken up within a week.. Oh.. speak of the devil.. He's here.. as usual, he came up to me and gave me my morning noogie. how fun. "so, what are you ladies up to?" Mason asked, curious as if he heard his name. I don't know if you've realized but I'm kind of in the bro-zone. He's fun to hang with but he doesn't see me in the "romantic" way of things. I'm basically like a little sister. "we were just talking about your budding romance with Korinne here" Samira said confidently. "yeah. we were just- WHAT!? NO NO NO. that is not what we were talking about!!". I screamed out. Mason let out a soft chuckle and acted as if Sami never even said anything. "Well, when you get home, mom wants to talk to you bout something."

Osana? what could she need from me? am I being kicked out!? "oh, and don't worry. you're not being kicked out." oh how happy I am to hear that. "okay? what does she need then?" I asked, pretty concerned. "just come home early, okay? you're gonna be excited." he said before running off.

"what do you think that's about?" Samira asked. to be honest, I don't know. I'm kinda worried myself. "I'm not sure. I hope it's nothing bad." "well, you should go home and see what she needs". Maybe she's right. I'll hurry up I guess. "yeah. okay. I'll see you later." I said before getting onto my motorcycle and going back home. I entered the house and went to Osana's bedroom. "um.. Osana..? I heard you wanted to see me?" I looked around her room and saw her in the closet. I entered the closet. "oh hey, dear." she said. "hey, mason said you wanted to talk to me."

"yes, dear. come. sit down". we went and sat on her bed. "I'm thrilled to have you here, Korinne. I've never seen the boys so happy. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but Mason was sort of an *** before you came to live with us". She said, laughing at her own joke. I chuckled as well. "Yeah. I could tell. he-" "and that's what I wanted to talk to you about" she interrupted. "oh?" what is she even gonna say? "I give you permission to date my son." NOT AT ALL WHAT I THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA SAY. "D-Date Mason!? what gave off the impression that I wanted to!?" I sort of shouted. she just laughed. "I see how the two of you are. you're like best friends. and if there's anything I know, it's that friends are more likely to make a successful couple." I don't even know what to say at this point. Mason is in the other room.. OH MY GOD. MASON IS IN THE OTHER ROOM. WHAT IF HE CAN HEAR?! suddenly my phone went off. it was a text from Mason.

[Bold is Mason. Italic is Korinne]

[Emo Boy]

Mom is hammering you, huh?

[Kor<3]

Ehh.. not exactly, lol.

[Emo Boy]

What is she talking to you about?

[Kor <3]

Just.. Christmas stuff.

[Emo Boy]

Oh yeah! that's right around the corner.

[Kor <3]

Right.. haha..

[Emo Boy]

Has she given you the "permission to date Mason" speech yet?

[Kor <3]

That's right! you said I'd be happy this talk! you knew she'd say that!

[Emo Boy]

Well obviously. ****I know you're into me. Samira is a bit of a chatterbox, lmao****

[Kor <3]

No kidding. ABOUT THE CHATTERBOX PART.

[Emo Boy]

Well, you better get back to mom before she knocks you on the head. she hates when you text in conversation.

Korinne? Hello?

Delivered 2:20pm

As you probably guessed, Osana bonked me on the head so I put my phone down mid conversation with mason. no big deal. I'll talk to him later.

"So.. you said I can date him..?" I asked. "of course, dear. as far as I'm concerned, you're already like a daughter to me." she said and then hugged me. I choked back some tears. that's the first time anyone was happy to have me as their child. Which reminds me.. my father... When my brother finds out what dad has done to me, he won't be happy...

Mason's POV:

she probably got bonked. whatever. she'll be fine. I wonder if Samira was right.. does Korinne really like me? I mean, we're pretty close actually.. "Hey, Brent! come here for a minute!" I shouted to my idiotic brother. he ran downstairs faster than I could talk. "What's up, bro?" "Can I talk to you about.. a girl problem..?" Brent gasped at my question and I swear I saw his eyes glow. he was so happy I asked. "Big brother goes to little brother for love advice? hohoho~" he said snarkily. "so What's the problem with you and Korinne?" he asked. "I never said the problem was with Korinne." I replied. "Oh sorry. who is the problem about?" "um.. Korinne.." I felt ashamed that he already knew. "HAH! I knew it! I know you're in love with her!" WHAT!? "No! i- no.. I just like her! THAT'S ALL!" I don't know why I'm being so defensive... "calm down big brother. when do you wanna tell her?" hmm.. "well.. I guess at the Christmas Eve party.." I have to admit, it'll be nice seeing Her in a party dress.. maybe we'll end up under the mistletoe... and we'll share a ki- SNAP OUT OF IT MASON. "that's good! she's gonna be ecstatic! I just know it. any girl would be lucky to have you."

I smiled at his words.. "thanks bro.."
