I froze. What was I supposed to do Or say? I looked over to Lucas for help but he was already trying his best to hold his laugh.

Sigh.

I have to think of an excuse.

“ Mom, I am at a friends house ”

My mother looked at me, her eyes narrowed. She didn't look convinced one percent.

She didn't push me further, we talked about my school and all that stuff. Once the call ended I took a deep breath of relief. I walked towards the couch and sat beside him.

“ Your mom sounds strict ”

I nodded. Yes, they could be very strict sometimes.

“ Yeah, my parents want me to focus on my studies and make them proud. ”

“ Hm, talking about that you have never told me anything about your parents ”

I realised that he was speaking the truth. We have been dating for quite some time now and I have never ever discussed my parents.

“ Yeah, you never asked ”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“ So, tell me now ”

“ Okay, what do you want to know? ”

Lucas inched closer to me and draped his hands around my shoulder
