Missing You by Summer Blue (my reading book TXT) 📖

mum talks, she doesn't stop until shes proven a point. 

'But Christina, I'm just saying a fact, isn't that right, Callum?' He nodded. I was easy to tell that he was hurt.  

She laughed. 'Callum is a good boy. Or shall i say man. You are 2 years older than my daughter.'

 'Mum-' 'But you seem young with the clothes you wear at home. All of them shirts. But what do we expect, you are living off a small architect job.'

 'Mum, stop it.' I warned her. She shook her hand at me.  'Darling, i forgot to tell you, teds brother couldn't come today.'

 'Yes, it was his friends wedding so he had to attend that.' Ted said, trying to change the subject. But nope, instead it got worse. 

'Oh good. Talking about marriages, what do you think of them?' Mum said.

 That's it. Shes crossed the line. She always had this problem with me and Callum living together without being married.

I told her we want to take this relationship slow but when does she ever listen. I was about to open my mouth to tell her to shut up when Callum held my hand. He looked at me and shook his head, to say that he doesn't want me to defend him.

 He smiled at my mother. 'I actually don't know.'  

My mum frowned. 'At the age of 18 you took my daughter and now you're saying 'you don't know?' 'Mum.' 

'What?' She said to me, annoyed that i interrupted her.  

 'We are leaving.' 'What?' She said. 'But you didn't take one bite of your lasagna.'

 'After the things you said about Callum, i think I've lost my appetite.'  

After that, i grabbed Callum's hand and we walked out of the room.  Lily and ted ran after us.  'Chrissy, i don't know what's up with mum. Please come back.' Lily said. Callum put his hands on my shoulder. 'I'm fine, Chrissy. Lets go back.' He was about to take me when i moved his hand away from me. 'You go. But me? I'm not going to come back until that women is happy with who I'm with.'  I got my cardigan and went out of the front door. I heard Callum walk behind me. Tears fell down my eyes. 

Chapter 5

 We were at home. We were on the sofa watching TV.

Ever since we left mum's house, we haven't said a word to each other.

 'How can you talk like that to your mum?' Callum said suddenly. He got up from the sofa and faced me. 'Its normal for her to hate me so you should understand.'

 I looked at him. His happy eyes were now filled with confusion. But he needs to know. 'No Callum. It would have been normal if she hated you on the first day we were together. Maybe the first week or even the first month. But 3 years. 3 years she hates you. Don't you think that's un fair Callum, even a tiny bit?'

 He put his hand through his hair with frustration. 'But still Chrissy-'

 'No. Callum i love my my mum. I love her to bits but when she says stuff like that to you. That you cant handle yourself or you have a lousy job, it makes me feel like shes insulting me.' I wiped the tears away.  Callum had his back on me.  'Callum, look at me.'

He wouldn't turn.  I faced him and then i saw it. Callum looked really sad. He looked at me. 'But its true. How can you live with me? I cant get you a house to live in, i cant buy you presents. I'm just not good enough for you.'

 I hugged him. 'Don't you dare say that. You give me something that no one else can give which is happiness so don't.' I wiped away his tears. 'I love you till I die.' I said. That was in my favorite TV shows and ever since then, Callum used to say i love you like that.   Callum smiled. I love you too.' He kissed me on the lips lightly before hugging me.  'Okay.' He said. 'Lets stop this cheesiness and play some monopoly.   I laughed. 'I thought you hated it.

 'Its okay i guess.' He said.  'Fine lets play it.' I kissed him Again before getting the game from the wardrobe.
